- Lov3-Child (8/5): Beautiful place, the host could do better - This place is nice and quiet, well furnished and clean. Love that the beach is a short walk away Our request to check in earlier wasn't accommodated and we had to wait hours at the gate exhausted, we weren't even allowed to put our bags in our place. If you're packing heavy please note the place doesn't have lifts to carry your luggage up.

I know its self catering but there was no dishwaser, no mop. The sheets could be changed,they were clean but have stains that are unsettling.
Also the aircon wasn't working and the heat was too much.
But for the value we got for 3 whole days it was worth it
- Nomusa (5/5): - The oceanview was beautiful. The securities and cleaner were friendly. Some Indian neighbors were welcoming and friendly. There was only one pool to share in the complex. Upon arrival, the place was not ready for us to stay. The cleaner was still cleaning. When reporting leaks in the bathroom and lights and fans not working, the host did not come to check and assist until we left. Securities they double book when needed to use the pool.

- Beekarun (7/5): A good stay overall. - The view was great. The apartment was neat and tidy. The location was close to many restaurants and was safe and secure. The main bedroom bed is uncomfortable, seems to be hollow in the middle. The bathrooms had a very bad scent from the point at which we arrived that was either mould or something else. The bathrooms did not have any additional items, not even hand soap or hand wash.
- Tshepo (10/5): Exceptional - The stuff is very friendly quick service nice and clean .very professional would love to visit again soon
- Saviour (5/5): Passable - Place closer to ocean and convenient for us. The main bedroom bed makes a loooot of noise not comfortable at all..Most of the things broken.. the door was broken and couldn't lock , it was so uncomfortable to sleep.
- Andrea (6/5): Pleasant -
- Mlambo (8/5): Very good -
- Legop (7/5): Good - Location is perfect with sea view and secure place, beautiful set up of the apartment. No sufficient cleaning material, toilet paper and rubbish bags provided. Since you are expected to leave the place clean when you check out at least the basics should be made available.
- Dawn (10/5): Mixed emotions - The area is very lovely,the apartment is beautiful and spacious ,very well furnished. 1.The hosts was very horrible to us when we requested the deposit back. He accused us of burning the table even claimed that when they pressed on the mark smoke was coming out (that was 2days after check out), they said we burnt it with coal from the hubbly bubbly, even after telling them we are non smokers. They insisted that the table was fine before we checked in and burnt after out visit, He insisted on that even though there was never a check list or inspection done upon our arrival and stay,we our host never even once showed up..Fortunately for us we had taken videos of the place when we checked in, so we could prove the host wrong, yes the table has.marks but it's not the burnt marks, it's just the kind of wood they used for the table (more like the design), so the hosts doesn't even know what's in his flat,and instead of accusing us immediately he would have just gone to the website and checked the pictures he used for advertising because the marks are clearly visible on the table..All he could say was 'i sincerely apologise ', for what exactly??? This really erased all the beautiful experience we had.
2. The hosts informed is about the stove not working around 18:00 on the day of our check in, so we had technicians coming in the Saturday morning, without supervision because the host was not there.. On Friday he said there's a gas stove we can use in the interim but upon arrival there was not such,there was just a moveable braai.
3. The name is deceiving,Ocean View is the name of the Complex Apartments next to exact place, even on GPS is doesn't state Ocean View..Few days before our check in,We were send a message that the name of the place changed,which is not the case because there's no board or anything to sure,even worse the name they said it changed to it's not even the same at the one on the gate.
3. The 2single beds in the other bedroom are not comfortable and the quality is very poor.
- Phumzile (8/5): My kids loved the place the lady that welcomed us Marina was very kind - Place was perfect
- Modimoonkgopotse (9/5): I would definitely come back to stay at oceanview on hill. It was amazing - The location is amazing. Quiet and peaceful and close to the shopping centre. The view was superb and we had a wonderful time. It was all amazing
- Cynthia (6/5): Pleasant -
- Tshepiso (5/5): It was a beutiful apartment but almost a week later i havent received my breakage deposit back. - The house was morden The pictures of the beach are deciving.it isnt juat outside the door. I was told not to go to that side of the beach as it was not safe.
- Tumi (6/5): Location and access to transport good, but facilities and hygiene not so good - Someone waited for us to hand over the keys The fact that it was being cleaned when we arrived at 16h00(whilst checkin was 15h00). We were given dirty towels and the bedding in the main bedroom dirty with stains and very creased) No complementary tea/coffee provided, only a few glass containers and very minimal cutlery including a cracked cup provided with one dishcloth. Not fully equipped for a self catering . Cracked stove top which we were scared to use and had to ask for a washing hanging line as non was provided. With 6 guests booked, we were given 2 low quality 2 ply toilet rolls.

various reasons..
- Onalenna (9/5): Superb -
- Tshegofatso (9/5): Itās a very beautiful place I would come back - Everything The carpert,flees and pillows on the sofas needs to be washed as I have sinuses
- Tejula (10/5): Exceptional -
- Imran (4/5): Disappointing - Not much The arrogance of the owner.The oven was broken. The bathroom drain was blocked. The TV never worked because there was no wifi for our entire stay.The pool was not operational and we were not told about it. The owner always had excuses he never apologized about all our complaints let alone fix anything. He always used the phrase BUT instead of just taking the blame for poor maintenance to his property. The oven was tripping because of a rusted element which could have been replaced in a day but we had no oven for our entire stay. On the day we were leaving the freezer packed up. I never ever read any emails or messages from booking. Com after paying for my accommodation so I didn't know I had to pay a R2000 breakage deposit ahead of arrival. I paid the amount 4 hours prior to my arrival so it didn't reflect on the owners bank account but I sent proof of payment to him via sms from my EFT. The arrogant man only gave me my keys after 18h00 that night. I've never dealt with such a arrogant person ever.......Definitely don't ever consider booking this place. Worst experience ever
