It's was perfect, and we're definitely going back.

It was perfectly peaceful, just what we needed. And the owner is very friendly and we loved her doggies.

Wonderlike uitsig, pragtig, netjies.

Agv my broer se skielikse afsterwe kon ek self nie meer reis nie, maar my seun het die verblyf terdeë geniet. Dis 'n pragtige plek.

Wonderful view, beautiful, neat.

Due to my brother's sudden death, I could no longer travel myself, but my son thoroughly enjoyed the stay. It's a beautiful place.

Heerlike wegbreek naweek in 'n pragtige ligging.

Ons wegbreek naweek was heerlik rustig. Met die geluid van die golwe op ons voorstoep, pragtige sonsondergange wat ons van die stoep af kon bewonder. Alle geriewe wat ons nodig het. Kon ons nie vir meer gevra het nie. Daar is natuurlik ander plekke wat meer modern is, maar hierdie eenheid was net wat ons nodig gehad het. Ons sal weer kom.

Great weekend getaway in a beautiful location.

Our getaway weekend was delightfully peaceful. With the sound of the waves on our front porch, beautiful sunsets that we could admire from the porch. All amenities we need. Couldn't have asked for more. There are of course other places that are more modern, but this unit was just what we needed. We will come again.

Nie te sleg nie.

Kamers het 'n pragtige uitsig oor die see. Ons kamer se lugreëling het in die kombuis gesit, so die kamer het nie koud genoeg geraak nie. Was 'n ongemaklike warm nag. Bly ons het net 1 nag bespreek.

Not too bad.

Rooms have a beautiful view of the sea. Our room's air conditioner was located in the kitchen, so the room did not get cold enough. Was an uncomfortably hot night. Glad we only booked 1 night.

It was horrible, no hospitality. The owner does not have a way of speaking to guests. No professionalism.

Owner does not know anything about professionalism. She does not know how to communicate with individuals. Her wording she uses in order to approach is terrible. And we will not suggest this place to anyone.

Ons verblyf hier was baie aangenaam. Sal in toekoms weer gaan.

Reg op die strand en baie rustig, goed ontspan. Vriendelike gasvrou en heer en netjiese huis. Beveel aan dat jy eerder twee kamers bespreek as jy met gesin op vakansie is.

Asemrowende uitsigte!

We loved our 1 night stay at 14 Penguin Place, the room was clean and nicely made up and the kitchen is very cute and compact, perfect for a holiday stay and had everything we needed. Santie was quick on the ball when we had a question with regards to the swimming pool (which is not included in your stay, although it looks like it from the pictures) and did allow us to make use of it. With the help of Ronnie (the owner) opening the pool for us, we had a great time and we appreciate it very much. We will def be back and would like to bring some of our friends.

Fantastiese ligging.

Enigste klagte was dat gaste in 'n ander eenheid toegang gehad het tot die kombuis en toilet wat aan hierdie spesifieke eenheid behoort het. Daar is geen kontrole om te verhoed dat die ander eenheid se inwoners nie toegang tot hierdie spesifieke eenheid het nie.

Die gaste in die ander eenheid was en is glad nie veronderstel om naby die ander eenheid se kombuis en toilet te kom nie. Dit het na my wete nog nooit van tevore gebeur nie, maar hierdie keer het dit beslis gebeur en ek vra om verskoning daarvoor. Glo my dit sal nie weer gebeur nie.

The staff treated us very unprofessionally and inappropriately after they falsely accused us of killing their puppy.

It is a very well located place with neat rooms, but the owner was very unprofessional by making false accusations for which she had no evidence, and after I wanted to talk to her that evening they didn't even open the door for us.

Baie aangename verblyf met lekker atmosfeer, ruim kuier- en leefspasie naby die see en besighede.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die vertrekke is groot genoeg dat mens spasie het vir jou bagasie. Die kombuis het alles in om self kos voor te berei. Besighede is net 'n entjie daarvandaan en die see sommer net buite die tuinhekkie! Baie dankie, Santie.

Fantasties ligging op die strand by Melkbos, maar nie groot genoeg vir 'n gesin nie.

Die eenheid is geadverteer as 'n Tripple Delux Unit vir 4 mense. Die badkamer en slaapkamer is egter een vertrek, met geen sitkamer nie. Daar is geen privaatheid nie - ons het die ouderdomme aangedui van ons tieners. Daar is ook geen spasie om bv. TV te kyk anders as om op die bed te sit nie. Die aircon het nie gewerk nie en geen verduideliking daarvoor is gegee nie.

Fantastic location on the beach at Melkbos, but not big enough for a family.

The unit is advertised as a Tripple Delux Unit for 4 people. However, the bathroom and bedroom are one room, with no living room. There is no privacy - we have indicated the ages of our teenagers. There is also no space to e.g. watching TV other than sitting on the bed. The aircon did not work and no explanation was given for it.

Not what I expected or hoped for.

The owner was very friendly when we got there. But the apartment was not quite what we expected or was advertised. You share the bathroom and kitchen with other guests. The kitchen is also an old bar. Very dark, a one plate stove that looks like it's going to catch fire when you turn it on. We just weren't comfortable making anything there to eat at all. I don't remember at all that on the ad it says we share the toilet and kitchen?. Fortunately there were no other guests but this was not acceptable to me. The braai and swimming pool are also not for guests' use. You get an old rusty webber door. The braai and swimming pool as in the main photo are private. So I feel we are a bit done and will not use them again. It was on the beach and it was really fun!

Ons het die bedrading van die kombuis onder die eienaar se aandag gebring. Dit kan gevaarlik wees aangesien soveel elektriese drade en kabels by die "plugs" saam gevoeg word.

Teleurgesteld - as dit nie vir die uitsig oor die see was en die feit dat verblyf klaar betaal was nie het ons ander blyplek gesoek.

Pragtige uitsig op see en vriendelike ontvangs. Die foto's op webwerf en die realiteit is vêr verwyderd van mekaar. Geen melding gemaak in advertensie dat die toegang na die wooneenhede deur die huis (waskamer) is nie en ook nie dat ander gaste in en uitbeweeg deur wooneenheid - geen privaatheid. Wooneenheid het teveel beddens en meubels in en is baie beknop. Matrasse se "springs" steek in jou rug en moes al lankal vervang gewees het. Instandhouding nie op standaard bv. gesigwasbak se afvoerpyp loop in die stort uit.

Disappointed - if it wasn't for the sea view and the fact that accommodation was already paid, we would've looked for other accommodation.

Beautiful views of the sea and friendly reception. The photos on the website and the reality are far removed from one another. No mention was made in the advertisement that access to the units is through the house (laundry) is not, nor that other guests are moving in and out of the accommodation units - no privacy. The unit has too many beds and furniture and is very cramped. Mattresses' springs stick in your back and had to be replaced long ago. Maintenance not standard eg. sink drainage pipe runs out into the shower.

Ongelooflik.

Tannie Santie is die mees dierbare en gasvrye vrou op aarde en stap regtig 'n myl verder vir haar gaste. Dis 'n rustige en gees-vervullende omgewing om net weer opnuut krag te kry.

Aunt Santie is the most lovely and hospitable woman on earth and really goes the extra mile for her guests. It's a peaceful and soul-fulfilling environment to just get renewed strength.

Heerlik.

Lekker om uit te stap op die stoep en oor tuin te kyk na die see. Het dit baie geniet om die strand en swembad vir onsself te hê. Eienaars baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Sal beslis weer gaan.

Dis amper soos jou eie tuiste.

Alles omtrent die gastehuis is puik. Dis soos jou eie woonstelletjie. Die gasvrou is baie vriendelik en pla nie elke 5 minute nie. Dis voorwaar op die strand en rustig. Hier kan jy in vrede rus met jou eie braai ook nogal.

Santie se gasvryheid en karakter is die siel van daai plek.

Santie Loubser het ons werklik soos familie laat voel op ons aankoms. Die kamer wat ons bespreek het was "a room with a view". Dit is net soos op die werfblad, asemrowend. Dit het gevoel soos 'n tweede wittebrood om net te kan opstaan en direk van die kamer strand toe te kan loop. Die prys is billik en die kamer dekor gepas vir die prys. Ons gaan definitief weer bespreek. Dankie Santie vir 'n onvergeetlike naweek.

Santie's hospitality and character are the soul of that place.

Santie Loubser truly made us feel like family upon our arrival. The room we booked was "a room with a view". It is just like on the site page, stunning. It felt like a second honeymoon just to be able to get up and walk directly from the room to the beach. The price is reasonable and the room decor appropriate for the price. We will definitely book again. Thank you Santie for an unforgettable weekend.

Goeie basiese akkommodasie teen 'n billike prys met pragtige ligging op die strand.

Ontbyt bietjie teleurstellend - net vrugtesap, graankos en koffie/tee.

14 Penguin Place Melkbosstrand 's response

Ek waardeer die positiewe en opbouende terugvoer. Ek wil egter net daarop wys dat my gastehuis ten volle self-catering is en dat die basiese ontbyt bestaande uit cereals, vrugtesap, koffie en tee wat ek aanbied, nie veronderstel is on n volle gekookte ontbyt te vervang nie, maar bedoel is as n goodwill token vir my gaste. Dit is ingesluit by die prys. Gaste is welkom om n gekookte ontbyt, teen n ekstra tarief, aan te vra.

Rustig en kalm by die see.

My kort verblyf by 14 Penguin Place, was presies wat ek gesoek het. 'n Kamer met die mees ideale see-uitsig, op die strand, klein en-suite badkamer (beide staan- en sitstort en 'n bad). Plus 'n klein kombuisie (met gratis pap, koffie, melk en sap). Die gashere is vriendelik en plat op die aarde. Ek sou vir enige enkellopende of paartjie wat graag wou wegbreek vir 'n naweek by die see (op 'n begroting), 14 Penguin Place voorstel. Dit was lekker!

Peaceful and calm at the ocean.

My short stay at 14 Penguin Place was exactly what I needed. Room with the most ideal sea view, on the beac, small en-suite bathroom (standing and sit shower and a bath). Plus a kitchenette (with complimentary cereal, coffee, milk and juice). The hosts were friendly and down to earth. I recommend this 14 Penguin Place to any couple or single person (on a budget) for a weekend at the sea. It was lovely!

Die see.

Was baie vriendelik ontvang deur eienaars waarby hulle ons (my man en 7 jarige) na ons verblyf heen begelei het. Toegang to die verblyf vorm deel van eienaar se huis - sou verkies vir 'n afsonderlike toegang. Die uitleg van die verblyf was ongemaklik. Een groot pluspunt van die verblyf is dat dit reg op die strand is.

Die ligging reg op Melkbosstrand is onverbeterlik. Kamer ongelukkig nie van dieselfde gehalte nie, maar die ligging maak op daarvoor.

Ons het die sonsondergang vanaf die stoep voor ons kamer geniet, Lang wandelinge op Melkbosstrand met ons twee Yorkies was onvergeetlik. Ongelukkig is die algehele indruk van 14 Penguin Place dat dit verwaarloos is en nie behoorlik in stand gehou word nie. Dit skep ook 'n "laslappie indruk". Maar ten spyte daarvan was ons naweekverblyf heerlik gewees. Sal ons weer daar bly? Waarskynlik, want dit sal moeilik wees om 'n ander plek met dieselfde ligging en prysklas te vind wat troeteldiervreindelik is.

The location right on Melkbosstrand is unbeatable. Room unfortunately not of the same quality, but the location makes up for it.

We enjoyed the sunset from the veranda in front of our room, Long walks on Melkbosstrand with our two Yorkies were unforgettable. Unfortunately, the overall impression of 14 Penguin Place is that it is neglected and not properly maintained. It also creates a "patch patch impression". But despite that, our weekend stay was wonderful. Would we stay there again? Probably because it would be hard to find another place with the same location and price range that is pet friendly.
