Guest Reviews
- Tredoux (9/5): -
- Michaela (9/5): Immer wieder gerne, sehr freundliches Personal, Faith absolut hilfsbereit und immer erreichbar - Super Lage , groß genug, alles vorhanden was man braucht nichts zu bemängeln
- Anita & Bert (9/5): Geweldig huis op een supermooi locatie dicht bij restaurantjes en winkeltjes - Het huis, de locatie en van alle gemakken voorzien nvt
- Michelle (10/5): We loved it thank you. - I liked that there was everything we needed if we wanted to cook or braai. The whole kitchen is full of ants. All our food were taken over by ants.
- Carey (9/5): - We loved the location
- Deon (9/5): -
- John (10/5): Pure Bliss - It was such a beautiful property with a great location - inteior had everything one needed and so comfortable and welcoming. Included items like nespresso machine, cooler box for day trips, good wifi, canoe (even saw a cuttle fish from the jetty), great braai (BBQ) area, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer.
Location just perfect - walking distance to bakery, coffee shops, restuarants, etc
- Michael (10/5): Lovely accommodation and Faith was so friendly and welcoming on arrival. - Convenient. Safe. Close to restaurants. Plenty of space for a family of four. Nothing. Everything was good.
- Gawie (8/5): Very good -
- Ian (10/5): Great location nice host would recommend a friend - Closest to the city, Faith was a wonderful host, the kayak added value, good facilities, and clean Minimal toiletries provided, no shampoo.
- Susan (10/5): Stylish accommodation in excellent location - Location Nothing all was fabulous
- Martin (8/5): Very good - Location was great, very safe and close to the town The Staircase, the concrete floor had some sort of waxy finish which we thought was very dangerous. If you had socks on it was like a skating rink. Lots of tiny ants as well, not that we minded them but some people might.
- Charmaine (8/5): The place was value for money. - The whole estate is exceptionally beautiful. The unit itself is also extraordinary. For a self catering facility,I think it would be good for the place to have basics like salt,pepper and milk. I did not see these there. But this does not take away from the beauty of the place and the great service from Faith.
- Ian (8/5): Very good -
- Greg (2/5): Misrepresentation Galore - Our holiday started off great with a beautiful sunset and effortless checkin. The unit is beautiful with everything one could need. The location is perfect as it is close to shops and restaurants.
We specifically booked this unit, as we have done before, due it being advertised as PET FRIENDLY - the disclaimer clearly indicated pets stay for free.
Our dogs barked at the neighbour’s dog - as dogs do - which resulted in a complaint to security and the agent. We were informed that pets are not allowed, estate rules, and we should vacate the unit. No solutions or alternatives offered, no apologies, nor any ownership taken for the misrepresentation of the listing.
We were not allowed to stay there with our pets, regardless of the fact that the unit was advertised as pet friendly. Before we were packed up to leave the listing disclaimer was changed to no pets allowed.
Utterly disappointed in the agency and the manner in which this was handled.
This misrepresentation left a sour aftertaste.
Note: Hotels.com effortlessly assisted us afterwards with a refund.
