Great view but too many hitches.
The house offers a fantastic view of the sea. We could see dolphins from the balcony. Unfortunately, the ramp and the hill to the sea are so steep that they are not suitable at all, and there are many rocks down by the beach that you have to climb over. Fans in some of the rooms also didn't work at all. We had to buy drying cloths and a bucket ourselves, it was not provided which was not said in advance. The caretaker/gardener was disruptive so it didn't really feel private. You can't get in the front doors and have to go through the back door. It was also not told in advance, and the key for the back door was not provided. The caretaker provided it. The agents first said we owed extra money, even though we paid in full. We asked them for the WiFi password. It was never provided, so we had to dig around in a drawer for it. The WiFi is nice and fast and we had no problem watching TV. On top of that, the paperwork you have to sign is ridiculously long, and to top it all off, we were falsely accused by the caretaker of 'drawing' on the walls (apparently it was previous people). We were just a group of adults with no children. Overall we made the most of our holiday and it was nice that the place was pet friendly. It is well fenced and there are beams outside with armed response which made you feel safe. The worst part was that the entire lawn in front of the deck was cordoned off which completely spoiled the view.

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Al die inligting is aan jou voorsien op die WhatsApp wat voor julle aankoms aan jou gestuur is. Die eenheid is naby aan die see, so soms steek die rotse uit en soms is daar sand daaroor. Op die foto's kon jy 'n prentjie vorm van die omgewing. Die opsigter, tuinier, sekuriteitwag, is die persoon wat jou gehelp het met nuwe sleutels vir die slotte, want by die see vervang ons nogal baie slotte.

Breathtaking view.
House is neat with a wonderful view. It's very style down to the beach but it's a private beach. There were many whales that we could see in the 2 days.

Most beautiful view and lovely, spacious house.
Perfect for a quiet family break, and enough room for everyone to have their own space too. The house is also very well equipped.

Good afternoon Samantha, thank you for your feedback. We were also not aware that the owner had arranged garden services, so apologies for that.
Have added this info to our listings now.
Kind Regards

Incredible sea view.
House's location is ideal. Unfortunately had bad weather, but house big enough for us to hang out inside.

Incredible view on a beautiful, quiet beach.
We really enjoyed our short stay here! The whole place is fenced and dog friendly, so our dogs could explore the place safely. And the lower gate opens straight onto the beach. The view, especially from the top floor, is amazing! The driveway to the house is very steep, but our all wheel drive vehicle was able to handle it comfortably. And the steep uphill between the house and the beach is also a steep walk. There are stairs that help, so we were able to get up and down easily enough. But do keep this in mind. The amount of paperwork required for the reservation almost made me give up more than once. It's more like entering into a long-term lease (with an administration fee and deposit to be paid directly). The booking process is therefore less convenient than other places we have already booked on the website. That said, it was so worth it! The house has plenty of space, with a wonderful open plan lounge/dining/kitchen area. The kitchen is well equipped. And we could subscribe to the TV with our own Netflix account. The WiFi is not quite as good as ours in the city, but was good enough to keep in touch with the world as much as we wanted. There are good takeaways in the area if you don't want to cook (Indian food, seafood, ice cream!). Even though the house feels like it's on a tropical island in the middle of the ocean, you can find takeaway within 5 km or so. The beach is fantastic. We chose this location because the beach is dog friendly. Large parts of the beach have rocks, which we love. So much new to see every time you walk. And the swimming beach is further down the coast, so this stretch of beach is really nice and quiet (at least it was in early December when we were there). And with the incredible view from the top, it feels like you're permanently on the beach. I wish we could stay longer. I would absolutely recommend the place!

Weak. Accommodation was dirty, taps leaking, toilet blocked. Not a pleasure at all.

Breathtaking view. Poor neatness and hygiene.
Beautiful view of the beach. General state of accommodation poor and untidy, showers are dirty and the towels not up to standard. Had to clean the cutlery myself before it could be used and tte pots didn't have handles. Not a good image of this place. A lot of money for poor service.
