Wonderful Family Vacation!! Would definitely want to stay here again!!️. When I think back to our holiday at Cowrie Cove 3 from 09–18 March 2026, it feels as if my heart is still there on the warm sands of the South Coast. From the first moment everything was simple, comfortable and filled with that rare feeling that things were going to work out just right. The booking on the website was a breeze — fast, smooth, without any drama. The pensioner discount was a blessing, and it just set the tone for a holiday that felt like a gift from start to finish. The communication with Tersia and Erika was some of the best I have ever experienced. Friendly, human, genuine. When we stopped in Hibberdene and the lady was already standing at the gate waiting with the keys, I knew: this is where we would feel at home. And we did. She welcomed us as if she had known us for years, explained everything well and made sure we were comfortable and informed. And then we walked into the unit… What a gem! We were very impressed with this unit. It has almost everything a family would need for a nice seaside holiday. Full 3 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms. There is a bath and a shower available in the bathrooms. The shower is not high on the wall, but it is still very comfortable to use. Everything in the unit is exactly as stated on the website advertisement. The unit is very spacious. We were a family of 6, and there was enough space to hang out. The view from the balcony is breathtaking. We sat on the balcony many times and appreciated the beauty of the sea and nature. The early sunrise scenes are like a fairy tale world. Definitely very relaxing if you want to hang out and relax by the sea. The complex is very quiet and private. Our family was almost the only people at the complex during our 9 day stay. The complex has a very nice, clean swimming pool to cool off when it gets hot. We definitely enjoyed the Hibberdene main beach a lot. We usually went as a family early in the morning to get our feet wet, around 08:00. Most days we were the only bathers on the beach. Hibberdene Beach is a Blue Flag beach with nice waves to cool off in. You can walk deep at low tide to fully enjoy the waves — a large sandbar. There are also lifeguards and shark nets at Hibberdene Beach. The unit has free, reliable WiFi available. We enjoyed many programs on the big screen Smart TV with the help of the fiber WiFi router. There are ceiling fans in the rooms and also in the lounge. This definitely helps to cool the rooms and blow away the stuffiness of the South Coast. We only had 1 day of light rain during our stay. The other days we were blessed with wonderfully beautiful weather — just right for swimming. Another big plus to booking here is that you don't have to drive to the beach and shops. Everything is within a short walking distance of this unit. In Hibberdene, the Pick n Pay and the Spar are right across from each other and probably less than 100 meters from this unit. You can quickly go and buy bread and milk. One of the most important reasons why we chose this unit to stay in is because it is pet-friendly. Our 2 dogs who went with us were full of joy about the nice green lawns. When nature calls, you just pick it up and throw it away. This was their first visit to the sea. We have a Pekingese and a Poodle. There are also quite a few wild cats in the complex that keep the mice and snakes away from the guests. Another big plus of this unit is that from 18:00 to 06:00 a security guard patrols the entire complex. This makes you feel even more safe. Hibberdene is a very peaceful seaside gem that many people don't even know about. The unit is very peaceful, with nice sliding doors in the master bedroom and living room to bring the cool sea air into the unit. The owners have definitely shown their artistic side with all the extra decorations placed in the unit — from lighthouses and a large variety of candles and art pieces to the most beautiful wall decor. The owners thought about the convenience of their guests when they purchased electrical supplies for the unit’s kitchen. There is a modern 4-plate induction stove that is controlled with a touchscreen glass top. There is also a very useful thermofan oven, which we definitely tested to bake a delicious cake. It takes a while to get used to the touchscreen controls for the stove, but later it is much easier. Guests also don’t have to worry about their dirty laundry. There is a new LG 9 kg frontloader washing machine that works like a dream. The quick wash program only takes 30 minutes to finish. There is a laundry rack to hang things on the balcony. There are also clotheslines available if there is a lot of laundry. We had a nice braai one evening at the available braai facilities. There is a R1000 damage deposit payable in advance. This is just to ensure that any damage during the visit can be covered. This deposit will be refunded once Erika has checked the unit and if there is no damage. As you can see, it is definitely worth booking Cowrie Cove 3, Hibberdene, for your next planned holiday. You will definitely be surprised by the nice holiday unit!

Wonderlike Familie Vakansie!! Sal beslis weer hier wil tuisgaan!!️. Wanneer ek terugdink aan ons vakansie by Cowrie Cove 3 vanaf 09–18 Maart 2026, voel dit asof my hart nog steeds daar op die Suidkus se warm sand lê. Van die eerste oomblik af was alles eenvoudig, gemaklik en gevul met daardie seldsame gevoel dat dinge net reg gaan uitwerk. Die bespreking op die webtuiste was ’n briesie — vinnig, glad, sonder enige drama. Die pensioenaris-afslag was ’n seën, en dit het sommer die toon gesit vir ’n vakansie wat van begin tot einde soos ’n geskenk gevoel het. Die kommunikasie met Tersia en Erika was van die beste wat ek nog ervaar het. Vriendelik, menslik, opreg. Toe ons in Hibberdene stop en die dame reeds by die hek staan en wag met die sleutels, het ek geweet: hier gaan ons tuis voel. En dit het ons. Sy het ons verwelkom asof sy ons al jare ken, alles mooi verduidelik en seker gemaak ons is gemaklik en ingelig. En toe stap ons in die eenheid in… Wat ’n juweel! Ons was baie beïndruk met hierdie eenheid. Dit het omtrent alles beskikbaar wat ’n gesin sou benodig vir ’n lekker seevakansie. Volle 3 slaapkamers met 2 badkamers. Daar is ’n bad en ’n stort beskikbaar in die badkamers. Die stort is nie hoog teen die muur nie, maar dit is nog steeds baie gemaklik om te gebruik. Alles in die eenheid is presies soos dit gemeld word op die die webtuiste-advertensie. Die eenheid is baie ruim. Ons was ’n gesin van 6, en daar was genoeg spasie om lekker te kuier. Die uitsig vanaf die balkon is asemrowend. Ons het menigmaal op die balkon gesit en die mooiheid van die see en natuur waardeer. Die vroeë sonsopkomstonele is soos ’n sprokiewêreld. Beslis baie ontspannend as mens lekker wil saamkuier en ontspan by die see. Die kompleks is baie stil en privaat. Ons gesin was amper die enigste persone by die kompleks gedurende ons 9 dae se verblyf. Die kompleks het ’n baie mooi, skoon swembad om lekker af te koel as dit warm word. Ons het beslis die Hibberdene-hoofstrand baie geniet. Gewoonlik het ons as gesin vroeg in die oggend gegaan om voete nat te maak, so 08:00 se kant. Meeste van die dae was ons die enigste baaiers op die strand. Hibberdene-strand is ’n Blouvlagstrand met lekker branders om in af te koel. Mens kan met laagwater diep inloop om die branders ten volle te geniet — ’n groot sandbank. Daar is ook lewensredders en haainette by Hibberdene-strand. Die eenheid het gratis, betroubare WiFi beskikbaar. Ons het vele programme op die groot skerm Smart TV geniet met die hulp van die fiber-WiFi-router. Daar is dakwaaiers in die kamers en ook in die sitkamer. Dit help beslis om die kamers af te koel en die bedompigheid van die Suidkus weg te waai. Ons het net 1 dag bietjie reënweer gehad gedurende ons verblyf. Die ander dae was ons geseënd met wonderlike mooi weer — net reg om te swem. Nog ’n groot pluspunt om hier te bespreek, is dat jy nie hoef te ry strand toe en winkels toe nie. Alles is binne kort loopafstand van hierdie eenheid. In Hibberdene is die Pick n Pay en die Spar reg oorkant mekaar en seker minder as 100 meter van hierdie eenheid. Mens kan sommer vinnig brood en melk gaan koop. Een van die belangrikste redes hoekom ons hierdie eenheid gekies het om in tuis te gaan, is weens die feit dat dit troeteldiervriendelik is. Ons 2 hondekinders wat saamgegaan het, was vol vreugde oor die lekker groen grasperke. As die natuur roep, tel mens dit net eenvoudig op en gooi weg. Dit was hulle eerste besoek aan die see. Ons het ’n Pekingese en ’n Poedel. Daar is ook in die kompleks heelwat wilde katte wat die muise en slange weghou van die gaste. Nog ’n groot pluspunt van hierdie eenheid is dat daar van 18:00 tot 06:00 ’n sekuriteitswag die hele kompleks patrolleer. Dit laat mens selfs nog meer veilig voel. Hibberdene is ’n baie rustige seejuweel wat baie mense nie eens van weet nie. Die eenheid is baie rustig, met lekker skuifdeure in die hoofslaapkamer en sitkamer om die koel seelug in die eenheid in te bring. Die eienaars het beslis hul kunstige sy gewys met al die ekstra versierings wat in die eenheid geplaas is — van ligtorings en ’n groot verskeidenheid kerse en kunsstukke tot die mooiste muurdekor. Die eienaars het aan die gerief van hul gaste gedink toe hulle elektriese benodighede gekoop het vir die eenheid se kombuis. Daar is ’n moderne 4-plaat-induksiestoof wat beheer word met ’n touchscreen-glasblad. Daar is ook ’n baie nuttige thermofan-oond, wat ons beslis getoets het om ’n heerlike koek te bak. Dit vat ’n rukkie om gewoond te raak aan die touchscreen-kontroles vir die stoof, maar later gaan dit heelwat makliker. Gaste hoef ook nie bekommerd te wees oor hul vuil wasgoed nie. Daar is ’n nuwe LG 9 kg frontloader-wasmasjien wat soos ’n droom werk. Die vinnige wasprogram vat maar net 30 minute om klaar te maak. Daar is ’n wasgoedrak om goed op die balkon te sit. Daar is ook wasgoeddrade beskikbaar as daar heelwat wasgoed is. Ons het lekker een aand gebraai by die beskikbare braaigeriewe. Daar is ’n R1000 skade-deposito wat vooruit betaalbaar is. Dis maar net om te verseker dat enige skade gedurende die besoek gedek kan word. Hierdie deposito word terugbetaal sodra Erika die eenheid nagegaan het en as daar nie enige skade was nie. Soos julle kan sien, dit is beslis die moeite werd om vir julle volgende beplande vakansie by Cowrie Cove 3, Hibberdene, te bespreek. Julle sal beslis verras wees oor die lekker vakansie-eenheid!

It was a lovely vacation with my husband and children. It was truly the most beautiful place, comfortable, large with the most beautiful sea view. I would come back anytime. The owner and hostess were so friendly and helpful, no ambiguity about anything. Everything was so beautifully organized, the place was clean and very neat with the most comfortable furniture, everything we could need was at our disposal. Thank you so much for your lovely little place that we could stay in. I would recommend the place to anyone.

Dit was 'n lieflike vakansie saam my man en kinders. Dit was waarlik die mooiste plek, gerieflik, groot met die mooiste see-uitsig. Ek sal enige tyd terug. Die eienaar en gasvrou was so vriendelik en behulpsaam, geen onduidelikheid oor enigiets nie. Als was so mooi georganiseer, die blyplek was skoon en baie netjies met die gemaklikste meubels, als was tot ons beskikking wat ons kon nodig kry. So baie dankie vir julle lieflike plekkie wat ons in kon bly. Ek sal die plekkie vir enige iemand voorstel.

Fantasies - we will definitely be vacationing in Cowrie Cove 3 again! We had a great stay! Definitely one of the best holidays we have had on the South Coast. We are a family with two teenage boys and grandma. The location of the unit is wonderful, close to the beach and shops. The view from the lounge, main bedroom, as well as the spacious covered patio area, is incredibly beautiful. The gardens in the complex are beautiful and the beach is just a stone's throw away, with beautiful rock pools and a long, clean walking beach, with the safe swimming beach right next to it. The unit is beautifully and comfortably furnished, with a lovely kitchen that is fully equipped. The crockery, cutlery and appliances are of high quality. Wi-Fi is included and a large TV makes movie nights very enjoyable. Many thanks to Tertia, who was available all the time and very helpful. The booking through the website was quick and easy.

Fantasies - ons gaan definitief weer in Cowrie Cove 3 vakansie hou! Ons het baie lekker gebly! Vir seker een van die beste vakansies wat ons aan die Suidkus gehad het. Ons is ’n gesin met twee tienerseuns en ouma. Die ligging van die eenheid is heerlik, naby die strand en winkels. Die uitsig van die sitkamer, hoofslaapkamer, asook die ruim onderdakstoeparea, is ongelooflik mooi. Die tuine in die kompleks is pragtig en die strand slegs ’n klipgooi weg, met mooi rotspoele en ’n lang, skoon stapstrand, met die veilige swemstrand reg langsaan. Die eenheid is pragtig en gerieflik gemeubileer, met ’n lieflike kombuis wat ten volle toegerus is. Die breekware, eetgerei en toestelle is van hoë gehalte. Wi-Fi is ingesluit en ’n groot TV maak fliekaande baie lekker. Baie dankie aan Tertia, wat heeltyd beskikbaar en baie hulpvaardig was. Die bespreking deur die webtuiste was vinnig en maklik.

We would love to stay here again. Tersia looks after her guests very well. We had a wonderful stay. The view and weather cooperated and our short stay was very pleasant with great entertainment from whales and dolphins. Our reception was friendly and pleasant and made sure we were at home and knew where everything was. Coming and going was very convenient and from kitchen to bedroom, we lacked nothing. Short or long stay, you have everything in the palm of your hand. Paradise.

Ons sal baie graag weer hier wil tuisgaan. Tersia kyk baie mooi na haar gaste. Ons het heerlik gebly. Die uitsig en weer het saamgespeel en ons kort verblyf was baie aangenaam met lekker vermaak deur walvisse en dolfyne. Ons ontvangs was vriendelik en aangenaam en het vir seker gemaak ons is tuis en weet waar alles is. Kom en gaan is baie gerieflik en van kombuis tot slaapkamer, het ons niks kortgekom nie. Kort of lang verblyf, jy het alles in die palm van jou hand. Paradys.

It was indescribably nice to be able to see and hear the sea the whole time. The place was 100%. The sea view is top notch. We really enjoyed staying at Cowrie Cove 3.

Dit was onbeskryflik lekker gewees om die see die heel tyd te kon sien en hoor. Die plek was 100% gewees. Die sea view is uit die boonste rakke. Ons het dit opreg baie geniet by Cowrie Cove 3 te kon bly.
