Excellent stay in a very well-kept and well-equipped unit. The stay was excellent. The house was clean and tidy, and very well equipped. There were ample dishes, bedding, cleaning supplies etc. The estate itself is absolutely beautiful, and this unit is central and situated very close to the trail to the private beach as well as the pool and entertainment areas.

One with nature. I found the photos to be a little misleading regarding the building; I was under the impression it was a standalone property. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful place. One shower door in the ensuite was missing, and the braai can also be replaced as there was a huge hole from rusting away; I had to use a rock to cover it up and be able to put charcoal in it. Other than that, very nice, thank you! I loved the stoep and colours throughout the house and the artwork! No WiFi password, so I was unable to use it, but no biggie either.

Really enjoyed our stay. The unit was comfortable and the layout practical. The unit is a little tired and needs minor maintenance. The kettle braai was a disaster; the bottom grid was so badly rusted that it was impossible to use. I did report it. We had a few maintenance issues which were dealt with efficiently and promptly. The lady who serviced the unit was a delight; she was friendly, helpful, and kept the unit spotless.

Very beautiful estate. Caribbean Estates is a beautiful estate, and there are paths directly to the beach and to the river. The kitchen is very well equipped, which is a plus. The view from the porch was really lovely too. The WiFi was not working, and although it was promised that someone would be sent to fix it, unfortunately it did not happen (we were there for 10 days). Some in our group had to work, and relied on the fact that there would be WiFi (as advertised). The loft is advertised as a room for two adults and two children. However, this is not the case. The photos do not show the true situation. The loft is completely open - there is no interior door, and there is also no wall to make it private, but just a regular balcony railing through which you can see. From the front door and kitchen, you can look directly into the loft. We had to hang swimming towels over the railings to have just a little bit of privacy. In one of the photos where the unit is advertised, a door can be seen in the attic room, and the reasonable assumption is that this is the door to the room that leads to the rest of the house. This is not the case. During our visit, there was a chest of drawers in front of that door, and the door was closed (it probably leads to another room that the owners keep private). In addition, this chest of drawers is not nearly big enough for two adults and two children's clothes (we were two adults and one child in this room), and the drawers of the chest of drawers also struggle to open and close when there are clothes in it. This room is more suitable for children. This put quite a damper on our vacation.

Baie mooi landgoed. Caribbean Estates is 'n pragtige landgoed, en daar is paadjies direk strand toe en na die rivier toe. Die kombuis is baie goed ingerig, en dit is 'n pluspunt. Die uitsig vanaf die stoep was regtig ook lieflik. Die WiFi het nie gewerk nie, en hoewel daar onderneem is dat iemand gestuur sal word om dit reg te maak, het dit ongelukkig nie gebeur nie (ons was 10 dae daar). Sommiges in ons groep moes werk, en het daarop staatgemaak dat daar WiFi sou wees (soos geadverteer). Die solderkamer word geadverteer as 'n kamer vir twee volwassenes en twee kinders. Dit is egter nie die geval nie. Die foto's wys nie die ware situasie nie. Die solderkamer is heeltemal oop - daar is geen binnenshuise deur nie, en daar is ook nie 'n muur om dit privaat te maak nie, maar net 'n gewone balkonreeling waardeur mens kan sien. Van die voordeur en kombuis af kan 'n mens direk in die solderkamer inkyk. Ons moes swemhanddoeke oor die reelings hang om net 'n klein bietjie privaatheid te hê. Op een van die foto's waar die eenheid geadverteer word, kan daar 'n deur gesien word in die solderkamer, en die redelike aanname is dat dit die kamer se deur is wat na die res van die huis lei. Dit is nie die geval nie. Tydens ons besoek het daar 'n laaikas voor daardie deur gestaan, en die deur was gesluit (dit lei waarskynlik na 'n ander kamer wat die eienaars privaat hou). Boonop is hierdie laaikas nie naastenby groot genoeg vir twee volwassenes en twee kinders se klere nie (ons was twee volwassenes en een kind in hierdie kamer), en die laaikas se laaie sukel ook om oop en toe te maak wanneer daar klere in is. Hierdie kamer is meer geskik vir kinders. Dit het nogal 'n demper op ons vakansie geplaas.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your extensive feedback with us. We are delighted to hear that you found Caribbean Estates to be a beautiful estate and that you enjoyed the direct access to the beach and river, the well-appointed kitchen and the lovely view from the veranda. We sincerely regret that the WiFi did not work as advertised during your stay. Unfortunately, the WiFi issue was area-wide, and we were in constant communication with the service provider to resolve it as soon as possible. We fully understand how frustrating this must have been, especially as some guests had to work and relied on a reliable connection, and we offer our sincere apologies for this. With regard to the attic room, we would like to clarify that the layout and nature of this space is indeed indicated in the advertising photos. The images in question clearly state that there is an “owner’s cupboard”, and the photo taken from below also shows that the chest of drawers is placed against the door. The loft is an open plan design, as seen in the photos, and is more suitable for children or as an informal sleeping space. However, we note your feedback that it did not meet your expectations of privacy, and we understand that this had an impact on your holiday experience. We appreciate your honest feedback as it helps us to continually improve our communication and offerings. Thank you for staying with us and sharing your experience.

Baie dankie dat u die tyd geneem het om u uitgebreide terugvoer met ons te deel. Ons is bly om te hoor dat u Caribbean Estates as ’n pragtige landgoed ervaar het en dat u die direkte toegang tot die strand en rivier, die goed ingerigte kombuis en die lieflike uitsig vanaf die stoep geniet het. Ons betreur dit opreg dat die WiFi tydens u verblyf nie gewerk het soos geadverteer nie. Ongelukkig was die WiFi-probleem gebiedwyd, en ons was in voortdurende kommunikasie met die diensverskaffer om dit so spoedig moontlik op te los. Ons verstaan ten volle hoe frustrerend dit moes wees, veral aangesien sommige gaste moes werk en op ’n betroubare verbinding staatgemaak het, en ons bied ons opregte verskoning hiervoor aan. Met betrekking tot die solderkamer wil ons graag verduidelik dat die uitleg en aard van hierdie ruimte wel op die advertensiefoto’s aangedui word. Op die betrokke beelde word dit duidelik vermeld dat daar ’n “owner’s cupboard” is, en die foto wat van onder af geneem is, wys ook dat die laaikas teen die deur geplaas is. Die solderkamer is oop ontwerp, soos op die foto’s sigbaar, en is meer geskik vir kinders of as ’n informele slaapruimte. Ons neem egter kennis van u terugvoer dat dit nie aan u verwagtinge van privaatheid voldoen het nie, en ons verstaan dat dit ’n invloed op u vakansie-ervaring gehad het. Ons waardeer u eerlike kommentaar, aangesien dit ons help om ons kommunikasie en aanbiedinge voortdurend te verbeter. Dankie dat u by ons gebly het en dat u u ervaring gedeel het.

Lovely. The estate itself is beautiful and well-maintained, offering a relaxing and scenic environment. However, guest services left much to be desired. Staff were not particularly friendly and didn’t make much effort to enhance our stay. We were also surprised by an additional charge for changing towels, which felt excessive and was not clearly communicated upfront. A little more focus on hospitality would make a big difference. This should be looked into.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the beautiful and well-maintained estate. We sincerely apologise that our guest services did not meet your expectations, and we will address your comments with our staff to ensure a more welcoming experience for all guests. Regarding the towel change fee, we understand your surprise. Our units are advertised as self-catering, and the booking confirmation clearly states that a fee is applicable for additional towel and linen changes. We apologise if this was not communicated to you more clearly during your stay. We appreciate your valuable feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience in the future.

Relaxing. The stay was good, but the weather was rainy. I would have appreciated if there were umbrellas available to use.
