Hardman Beach House

Nothing

The entire stay was a disappointment!!!! I dnt think even a wild animal deserves to stay in the room I was assigned to.The Bathroom was FILTHY....DIRTY FLOORS , DUST BIN NOT EMPTIED (Had dirty pads and dirty toilet paper) Window seals were so dirty as if they were last cleaned 5 years ago. Side lamps not functional Bedroom floors extremely dirty Pillowcases that were meant to be white were brown stained. Piet (what ever his name is) came to ask in the morning how I was and I told him I was disappointed and angry that they assigned me such a dirty room...he walked away....not even a sorry. The owners /cleaners of this place must pls respect clients who book here because we don't stay for free. I will never set foot in this place. No value for money whatsoever

Not a lot

I would strongly recommend you don’t stay at hardmans beach house if you wish to stay somewhere with easy check in and a polite host. I booked to stay for 2 separate nights a week apart. The first night I had specified I would arrive between 4-5. No one was there when I arrived at 4.30pm. I was lucky to be helped by a wonderful guest house owner (Camien from the 8 palms which I highly Recommend!). We phoned Craig - Hardman’s house owner about 10 times. No one answered. Camien eventually drove me around town looking for him. When we found his van, all he could say was ‘oh you’re here. I didn’t know when you were arriving!’ I did point out I’d specified the time, but no apology or acknowledgement was forthcoming. A week later, when we returned from our hike, Camien again helped me out and took me to hardmans. I hadn’t been able to specify a time on this occasion as we didn’t know when we’d finish. We arrived at 12.40. Once again, no one was there. Camien and I called Craig Hardman at least 10 times between us and he never answered his phone. I messaged him and he never replied. I went back to wait at 8 Palms. About 30 minutes later he sent a rude message to Camien saying check in wasn’t before 2. I waited till 2, messaged and wattsapped and phoned again for 2 more hours asking when I could arrive. I never hear a word. Finally nearly 4 hours later, I heard from Peter, the man who works for Craig Hardman, that I could come. Again NO APOLOGY for the inconvenience. Nothing. In fact he didn’t even have the decency to face me and explain. He hid away and peter gave me the keys. I said I was unhappy and peter shrugged and said it was his boss who makes the decisions! I never saw Craig at all, even though I saw him leaving the house 5 minutes later. Complete cowardice. It really was a horrible experience and he simply didn’t care. Don’t stay there. Stay with lovely Camien at 8 palms who couldn’t do enough for me even though I wasn’t even her...

Good location..large rooms.

I didn't discover the portable fan until the end of my stay! There is no washing machine but the owner kindly did some of mine
