Guest Reviews
- Donovan (10/5): - Everything Nothing
- Fuzeka (9/5): -
- Carmen (6/5): Good option for a 2/3 day stay - Great view and location. Place was decent but could have provided the basic toiletries. Overall though good value for money The place had a musky smell and we noticed there was mold in the bathroom and kitchen.
There was no shower gel/shampoo which would have been nice to know ahead. Would even have paid slightly more for these basics to be provided (including hairdryer) as with minimal luggage on flights now these take up unnecessary space/weight.
- Lindelo (9/5): Perfect relaxed stay - Beachfront Nothing
- Kamva (8/5): - Great location, close to the beach and other amenities. In the secondary bedroom, there's a loud plumbing noise (sounds like the neighbor is flushing the toilet or using the shower) during random hours of the day.
- ROBYN ANN (7/5): Pleasant - The location was exceptional, right on the beach. The owner is also great with communication and attended to our queries timeously. Access was easy. Kitchen stocked with essentials. The apartment needs a major revamp, the fixtures, curtains, bedding, towels etc needed to be updated. The air fryer was left uncleaned. The fridge was leaking all over the kitchen floor for our first night and was replaced the next day only so we were left to manage a wet floor for our first day.The sliding door came completely off when we tried to open it and owner had to have that fixed too. Lots of rust on the front door causes the latch to get stuck. Some windows are also stuck. Lovely located apartment just not properly cared for as a beachside property where certain things need extra care due to seaside erosion.
- Allia (9/5): - The place just gives off luxury.
- Nqabakazi (8/5): Pleasant. Quiet. Peaceful. - The location was great. The views were great. The place is spacious and feels like home. The place needs some TLC.

- Ntsapo (9/5): Superb - Loved the location of the property, literally few meters from the beach, the sound of the waves makes for a great ambient noise.
The apartment was clean, comfortable, homey and well-equipped. The owner was polite, forthcoming with communication and helpful which is much appreciated. The kids and I will be back again in the summer Not much we didn’t like except the absence of Wi-Fi, unfortunately it rained 3 of the 6 days we were there so we spent a lot of time indoors, Netflixing in bed would’ve been ideal way to pass time.
The building on the outside needs some general maintenance, a coat of paint would give it a much needed facelift…that’s a body corporate issue though not specific to this property, just thought mentioning might give the owner some leverage 🤷🏽♀️
- Deidre95 (10/5): Very great stay. - Really nice place. Perfecr location just a few steps from the ocean, The view was great, the place was so clean and had everything you could need. Host was super friendly and we will definitely be going there again next time we in EL. Would have liked some board games or wifi to keep the kido entertained but it was not a big trainsmash
- Zikhona (6/5): Pleasant - The Seaview Finding the place dirty and the lady calling me about Coffee instead of looking for it, felt insulted.
- Azola (8/5): Very good - The view from my bedroom and balcony. The rooms are also fully eqipped for a self catering accommodation. While the rooms looked clean, there was a lot of hair on the floor and we were not informed that the geyser was switched off so we struggled with water on the first day.

- Hylton (9/5): Exceptional value, support and location - Stunning view, great beds and amazing support, in accommodating the needs of our two large sons. Great value for money! One bathroom was challenging for a family of four (two large sons), as was lack of gas with load-shedding. Noise only an issue on Saturday night ;-)
