Villa The Flying Dutchman

The hostess was super and couldn't have been more amenable. This was the 'cheap' space at the accommodation and we didn't realise until afterwards that the pool was out of bounds for us. The bed was kingsize and so comfortable ( one of the best we've stayed in) but it took up almost half the space and it was pushed up against the wall. Fortunately I am agile enough to get to the bottom to get in and out. My husband would have had more difficulty.

It was cramped. The lighting was inadequate. No bedside lamps and the cupboard over the bedhead was disconcerting and unusable without standing on the bed. It was cold with no heating. The table and chairs were heavy and with the bed there was hardly room to move.

The pool was nice however we were initially informed that we weren't allowed to use it then told it was okay (even though it was advertised with a pool and braai area)

1. No comfortable place to sit 2. Cupboards smell musty 3. No broom to sweep and cleaner had to be asked to come sweep. 4. Cupboards don't close due to gas bottle 5. No comfortable seating 6. Badly layed out 7. Was advertised as more attached to the house so having full access to braai area, lounge, pool ect. But was down the side of the house 8. No lighting at stairs so at night you nearly trip down them 9. Wire at gate loose catching clothing and scraping you 10. Shower pressure is horrible

The pool was amazing, the area was really peaceful and the house was lovely. Roy was really nice and welcoming.

The owner was upstairs and all you heard were footsteps late at night, that was a little off putting and disturbed our sleep It also sounded like stomping or moving things around, idk, but it was loud.
