Guest Reviews

• Marlene (7/5): We had a lovely time and the house is great. We however felt that the house lacked tlc to ensure everything was tip top - Location is great. Bed linen was nice and beds were comfortable. One small coffee plunger for a house sleeping 6 guests leaves much to be desired. A proper coffee machine would really have made a difference. Two of the pans we wanted to use were absolutely filthy. They had to be scrubbed before we could use them. Towels were stained. Not dirty stains but like older towels with jik stains. One shower head was completely blocked. We had to clean it in order to use it. One of the bathroom drains was really smelly but improved with use.
• Joka (9/5): Prachtig, groot en compleet huis met een mooie tuin. - Het huis, de inrichting, de ruimte en sfeer. Eigenlijk niets, behalve dat de koffiemachine kapot was en de Wifi niet werkte.
• Roland (9/5): - Having our own private pool The terrace was lovely to relax on and to view the Zebras and other wild life from afar Having every kitchen appliance and utensil you'd need No aircon or fans
• Kgaugelo Sylvia (10/5): We had a wholesome time as a family - Beautiful views and well maintained interior Well thought through plan of the home with all areas clean and fully stocked to our needs. Very relaxed environment. Grass around the pool area could be mowed knowing that guests are arriving and the general outside area needs maintenance-we saw mice/rats during our stay which was disappointing.
• Kabelo (9/5): Perfect accommodation for a quiet getaway, you get best of both worlds with the sea views and being surrounded by the fa - Spacious, great views and clean Late check in (3PM) and early check (10AM) out times.
• Linda (10/5): - Very beautiful property, stunning views everywhere! Everything you could possibly need.
• Collins (9/5): -
• Wijnand (10/5): -
• Wai (5/5): Beautiful home but too many hiccups .. ,will rent another home in community next stay - Location close to my friend who lives in the community . Bright and airy but had many problems …Beautiful location , nice layout … warm welcome The broken locks in the doors .The host who tried to blame us for their broken locks in the doors The house was unlocked first night from key getting stuck in door . Our guest had to make other arrangements they didn’t feel safe we locked ourselves in the back room .We txted right away .The electrical outage from a blown fuse in half house at night coming back from my friends house party.. again the host knew this was recurring problem p/ the electricians and lock smiths we spoke too, Again host tried to blame us for his broken locks .. ridiculous since we own a home in humid climate and know how saltwater and humidity is a cause for keys sticking into locks .. again a simple fix is to have a tube of graphite ! Which I did txt about . Your locksmith was un available for a couple weeks not my problem … Try not to blame guest for your home that needs simple maintenance.
• Jurgens (10/5): Exceptional -
• Xoli (10/5): A Great experience in the prettiest town and hidden gems in SA - I loved the location, Hermanus and Gaansbaai. I want to find a house there after my experience. The check-in and check out process is easy and the staff is very pleasant. We were able to book on late notice(try to be more organized than I was), check in an hour earlier and the host had generously given us a two hour check out extension (I only saw that after checking out). Welcomed with some local wine and local bread! Romansbaai Oceanview Retreat is a great selection from all the Romansbaai homes because it is made for family. The house is clean, modern, but not too contemporary, so great for my little girls. They loved the bunk bed room with an Oceanview. In fact, almost all the house has an Oceanview from every room. The house is bright, sunny and themed appropriately. The kitchen and living area was much larger than it looked on pictures( with a tv). The kitchen has modern appliances(mostly Smeg). The beds were the most comfortable we have ever had. The linens were fantastic! We felt safe with no fences. Some of my guests were from the USA, so we were used to not having fences and burglar proof bars around the doors and windows, but the SA guests took a while to get used to the idea of not living without bars. We walked to the beach, about 5 to 8 min and saw a few creatures from the house. The whole family loved the pool, you can see the ocean from the pool. If the weather had behaved( there were heaters in each of the rooms), we would have stayed an extra day, and the host did generously offer us an extra day( We used WhatsApp to communicate). Now I understand how the hurricane that we get in Florida, USA form and it was a great experience for my kids to hear that wind in its origins. I would recommend Gaansbaai, Hermanus, Romansbaai and Romansbaai Oceanview Retreat to anybody looking for an exclusive, private, safe, and one of a kind experience in the best city and province in SA( it's very hard for me to say that, growing up in JHB... We wished the weather had behaved!
