Pragtige uitsig en direkte toegang tot die strand was 'n groot pluspunt!

Woonstel is gerieflik en het 'n mooi see-uitsig. Die enigste negatief was die apies wat ons woonstel geplunder het, net nadat ons ons kruideniers vir die week gaan koop het. Die badkamervenster was op 'n skrefie oop, waardeur hulle toegang verkry het. Die skade was 'n bietjie van 'n demper op ons geesdrif.

Beautiful view and direct access to the beach was a big plus!

Apartment is comfortable and has a nice sea view. The only negative was the monkeys that ransacked our apartment, right after we went to buy our groceries for the week. The bathroom window was open a crack, through which they gained entry. The damage was a bit of a dampener on our spirits.

Hi Emmerentia,
I am truly sorry about your experience with the monkeys.
However, monkey disturbances around food are a common occurrence in KwaZulu-Natal & its coastline.
This is particularly so when residences are located within large gardens, like the Santorini Estate.
As you will recall, I had warned you in my mail of the 28th of August before your departure about monkeys, as follows:
“Monkeys:
Be aware of the monkeys who are cute and funny, but at times a nuisance.
If they see food or fruits on the kitchen counter, given a chance they will slip into the apartment in a flash and run away with whatever food they can grab and, in the process, make a mess.
It is best to hide, cover or store your food in the fridge or cupboards when not in use, as well as closing the bedroom windows and sitting room sliding door when going out or to the beach.”
In closing, we should also recognise the privilege, as South Africans, to live so close to nature in our fantastic Southern African environment.

Apologies once again for the inconvenience.

Kind regards,
George

Griekeland in die hartjie van Ballito.

Dit was een van die beste seevakansies. Die plekkies is pragtig en die groot TV met WiFi was 'n treffer in die aande met die tieners. Die plek is baie mooier as die foto's. Ons sal beslis weer gaan en beslis volgende keer langer bly.

Greece in the heart of Ballito.

It was one of the best sea holidays. The places are beautiful and the large TV with WiFi was a hit in the evenings with the teenagers. The place is much nicer than the pictures. We will definitely go again and definitely stay longer next time.

Uitstekende ligging in Santorini en heerlike grasperk op grondvloer.

Baie lekker gebly. Staproetes is mooi uitgelê. Eenheid is skoon - matte kan dalk gewas word. Goeie en aangename kommunikasie van eienaar. Sekuriteitspersoneel was baie professioneel.

A great place. George is a very helpful host. Really went the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable.

Great place, an awesome view. Beach right on your doorstep. There is a gate from Santorini to Thompson's Beach. Close to good restaurants and amenities in Ballito and Salt Rock. Will be back.

Very comfortable and tastefully furnished apartment. We enjoyed the beach access and dining on the covered patio with a view. Had hoped to enjoy a game of tennis but seems the court is no more?

Ons het baie lekker gebly!

Ons het 4 kinders en die woonstel was ruim genoeg vir ons almal. Die eenheid se badkamers is onlangs oorgedoen en baie mooi netjies. Die yskas en skottelgoedwasser is splinternuut. 'n Vorige resensie van 'n gas het gemeld dat daar nie genoeg eetgerei/breekware was nie, maar daar was oorgenoeg! Die kombuis is ten volle toegerus. Daar is selfs 'n elektriese klitser. Pragtige tuintjie, mooi kompleks met baie lekker swembaddens. Daar is 'n swembad met 'n vlak swembadjie ongeveer 10m van hierdie woonstel af. Die enigste iets wat miskien kan verbeter is die badkamer en kombuis se linne; dit was gewas, maar sommige het kolle/merke op. Dit is ook verstaanbaar, aangesien gaste nie dit altyd oppas nie. Dit sal nie keer dat ons weer gaan nie. Ek laai net my eie vadoek in. Ons sal graag weer hierdie heerlike woonstel huur. Regtig waarde vir mens se geld!

We had a great stay!

We have 4 children and the apartment was spacious enough for all of us. The unit's bathrooms have recently been redone and are very nice and tidy. The fridge and dishwasher are brand new. A previous review from a guest stated that there was not enough cutlery/crockery, but there was more than enough! The kitchen is fully equipped. There is even an electric beater. Beautiful little garden, nice complex with lots of nice swimming pools. There is a swimming pool with a shallow pool about 10m from this apartment. The only thing that could perhaps improve is the bathroom and kitchen linen; it was washed, but some have spots/marks on them. It's also understandable, since guests don't always notice it. It won't stop us from going again. I just load my own dish towel. We would love to rent this lovely apartment again. Really value for money!

Very pleasant with great gardens and good security at the gates.

The ground floor apartment was nice for the children and the garden well maintained. The cleaning service was a benefit and the 2 bathrooms with one shower and the other bath tap was a benefit. The rooms are large and spacious and the bed is in excellent condition. The bath towels were changed and the line during the week. Nicely decorated and pleasant to stay in. Only one remark the ants were a little bit of a hassle.

13 Pyrgos - Santorini Estate 's response

Thank you for the compliments.
Lately we noted that Ants appear on occasion, sometime seasonally.
We will try to find a slighly stronger dose of repellent, and arrange with the Cleaning Manager to apply if and when the issue props up again.

Lekker gerus.

Die eienaar, George, was gereeld met ons in kontak en het alles omtrent die verblyf mooi verduidelik. Ons het onmiddellik tuis en welkom gevoel. Die sekuriteit by die kompleks is uitmuntend. Die verblyf was baie gerieflik en skoon. Dit sluit alles in wat jy kan benodig en dit grens aan Thompson-strand waar daar lewensredders en 'n getypoel is. Ons sal beslis weer hier vakansie gaan hou.

Have fun.

The owner, George, was in regular contact with us and explained everything about the accommodation nicely. We immediately felt at home and welcome. The security at the complex is excellent. The accommodation was very comfortable and clean. It includes everything you could need and it borders Thompson Beach where there are lifeguards and a tide pool. We will definitely vacation here again.

Vir die prys van die eenheid, is dit veels te veel. Daar is nie eetgerei vir 'n 6-slaapeenheid nie.

Daar was nie 'n besem nie, van die kamers se bedkassielampe werk nie. Een lampie se drade het uitgesteek wat lewensgevaarlik was. Baie hartseer oor dit so 'n pragtige plek kon wees.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

For the price of the unit, it is way too much. There is no cutlery for a 6-sleeper unit.

There was no broom, some of the rooms' bedside lamps did not work. One lamp's wires protruded, which was life-threatening. Very sad that it could be such a beautiful place.

Disappointed with the review, the apartment has 3 bedrooms, not 6, as, stated, and it accommodates 6 guests. There is in fact, at all times cutlery for more than 6 guests. In fact 6 cutlery for 6+ and some items up to 12 to circumvent breakages by guests, so as to make sure that there is always more than required. Each bedroom and sitting room have side lamps in addition to mail light. There is no need to move them around and for that matter pull the side lamp cord, hence curious about this comment. Similarly, there has always been a broom in the cupboard. In any case, overseas currently, hence unable to personally check. I have asked the Cleaning Company Manager to review and address the issue if required.

Lekker gemaklik en toeganklik vir gesin met klein kinders.

Ek moet erkenning gee aan die host/eienaar George. Hy het uit sy pad uit gegaan om ons vakansie so lekker en gemaklik as moontlik te maak. Die eenheid was nie baie skoon nie, maar ek dink die eienaar doen sy bes om dit binne sy beheer skoon te hou. Die eenheid is gerieflik met die lekkerste privaat strande en mens voel veilig.

Beautiful place and private beach, a great plus.

The accommodation was fantastic. We had a great vacation. I would only recommend that focus be placed on the cleanliness of the kitchenware. A lot was quite horribly dirty. Except for this it was a really great place to stay and we will definitely be back. George was very helpful and made sure our stay was totally hassle free.
