I had a really nice stay, the place was beyond what I've expected. It was more than good.

Fantastic. Stay was wonderful, exceptional place and location was great. Very spacious and lovely location. It gets a bit hot inside on a sunny day, but nothing a fan will not fix. Lovely view outside for evenings under the stars. Close to the beach and got to see penguins.

Lovely home away from home. Lovely stay for the weekend. The place was clean, with everything that you need for a weekend away from home. (Loved that they could accommodate me with my extra request at the last minute).

Fix the toilet and it will be a great stay. Clean with all required facilities. However, 5 of 12 lights are not working. The toilet smell is beyond disgusting. I don't know if the septic tank is full or if there is some other problem, but it needs to be addressed urgently.

Hi Gavin Apologies for the toilet. We’ve had problems with delays at the municipality, especially over the festive season. My housekeeper often forgets to check the light bulbs as she cleans in the daytime. Both issues have been addressed. Thanks.

The place is cheap and well built. Could be nice if it is equipped properly. Checked in late and couldn't find the key to the place. Key locker is hidden under the stairs. The place was clean inside, but poorly equipped. There was e.g. no coffee, sugar etc. No wine glasses or coffee mugs. The sheets on the bed were wrinkled and gave the impression that people had slept on them before. The kitchen cupboard doors fall off when you open them. There is no hanging space in the bathroom and no mirror or hairdryer in the room. The porch light didn't work. Parking is far from the cottage and not safe. There is no fence around the place and it is close to the main road.

Dear Mathys Thank you for your feedback. The keys are stored in the security box as per the instructions provided—please double-check the directions to ensure everything is followed correctly. There are plenty of coffee mugs available, and I’ll follow up with my housekeeper regarding the coffee and sugar, as we do keep a supply in storage. I apologise for any oversight. Clean bedding is always provided, though not ironed, as we aim to offer a comfortable, affordable stay rather than a luxury experience. Due to previous incidents of theft, we no longer supply a hairdryer. However, there is a mirror in the bathroom, and unfortunately, the room size doesn't allow for an additional one. The parking is located just a short distance from the cottage. For future stays, if your expectations lean more toward luxury, I would recommend considering alternative accommodation that better suits your preferences.

Okay. Was okay. False advertising. No beach towels or (deck chairs). Place maintenance is pathetic. Lights hanging from the roof and not working. Grill was dirty and the braai area was not cleaned.

Hi Stefan. I’m sorry you were unhappy with the accommodation. In response, there are beach towels in both cottages unless they were stolen. The deckchairs were damaged over time, and thus I replaced them with built-in seating as per the pics on the site. The seating is far more comfortable than deck chairs. I’m not sure which lights you’re referring to, but I will ask my electrician to have a look. I will also speak to my housekeeper about the grill and braai area. Kind regards, Faldelah

Nice place, but too close to the main road. It was a nice break away, but unfortunately the cottage is located close to the main road, which makes it noisy and also far from the sea. The hostess is friendly and has very neat bedding and other amenities in the cottage. No fan or WiFi available. Unfortunately there are a few repairs that need to be brought up to date, but nothing that will make the stay too unpleasant.
