Strand Sea Breeze

Room was decorated nicely and the location is great.

1) Even though we booked and paid days ahead, the owner didn't know she had a booking - she wasn't even in town! I phoned just after 4pm on the day (2 hours after check-in opened), with no answer. I eventually got hold of her after 5pm on the day. At that point we had been ready to check in for 2 hours and quite tired. VERIFY THAT SHE GOT YOUR BOOKING PLEASE! Had to make alterative arrangements for her to bring us the keys at a restaurant we decided to wait at. She seemed inconvenienced at this, citing her own dinner plans. 2) Our en-suite did not have a door, not ideal for bathroom privacy, and no other shared bathroom was offered. Guests need to be warned of this as it can become very uncomfortable for couples and friends alike. 3) Parking is on the street, which can be risky. 4) At 11pm that night, someone started ringing the doorbell non-stop, coming and going for an hour, repeatedly trying to gain access. We were kept up by the incessant ringing. I tried twice to phone the owner to alert her to this but there was no answer. As a side note, it's alarming to me that the owner could not be reached in case of an emergency. Eventually I heard her let the person in, which turned out to be a rather inebriated family member. This person then proceeded to stomp into the house, cry and talk loudly for at least another hour. Zero excuse was made for the noise and the owner didn't check in on us or even respond to my text. It had been a long day driving from Johannesburg and I was exhausted the next day from lack of sleep.

i was nervous to go out on my own, not sure how safe it was even though i was just a block from the beach and i love walking on the beach.

The friendliness and availability of the staff, quick response on requests. They even gave us information about the area that was really helpful during our stay.

I was uncomfortable about the parking in the street. However, the car was safe and nothing happened.

The host was a super nice, lovely nature. She made, you feel at home. Good location .

Very homey, clean, easy going - beautiful decor - owner very kind and helpful, enjoyed every moment of my stay. Will definitely go back again, thank you

N/ A

Spacious bedroom.

Cleanliness (tile grouting black, pillow had stain on, throw had stain on, shower blocked). Toilet water leaked non-stop. No shower soap or shampoo supplied. Owner unaware of booking upon arrival. Other guests banged on our window at 00h05 to open the front door. No room cleaning for 4 days due to owner not having spare key for room.

Nice breakfast and service. Next to the beach, nice view from the restaurant.

Weird loud vibrating noise in the room at all hours.
