Fantastic view, relaxed atmosphere, great support.

The place looked amazing and we felt immediately comfortable. The view is hard to beat, looking straight out over the ocean. The most complicated thing was the gas braai, which Brenda and her husband were incredibly supportive of in getting started. Thank you so much!

Asemrowende uitsig met baie trappe.

Die uitsig is fantasties. Die woonstel is baie ruim en het omtrent alles wat jy kan nodig hê. Die wasmasjien was 'n bonus om die klere skoon te kry voor ons terug is huistoe. Maar daar was regtig baie steil trappe om te klim. As jy enige probleem het met trappe klim, wees gewaarsku. Die gasbraai op die stoep was lekker want jy kan braai en die uitsig geniet. Die braai het net bietjie gesukkel want die see het al sy tol op hom geëis. Die eenheid was meestal skoon, maar die badkamers het meer aandag nodig. Die teëls en stortdeure was nie baie skoon nie en die vorige gaste se seepoorblyfsels was nog daar. Maar ons het lekker gebly.

Breathtaking view with many stairs.

The view is fantastic. The apartment is very spacious and has almost everything you could need. The washing machine was a bonus to get the clothes clean before we returned home. But there were really very steep stairs to climb. If you have any problem climbing stairs, be warned. The gas barbecue on the stoep was nice because you can barbecue and enjoy the view. The braai only struggled a little because the sea took its toll on him. The unit was mostly clean, but the bathrooms need more attention. The tiles and shower doors were not very clean and the previous guests' sea pore remains were still there. But we had a nice stay.

Beste Johan
Baie dankie vir jou opsomming.
Dit is vir ons baie belangrik in ons pogings om standaarde te handhaaf, en vir hierdie rede het ons n betroubare maatskappy aangestel om the woonstel te diens en skoon te hou. Die feit dat die stort nie behoorlik skoongemaak was nie, is onder die aandag van die skoonmaak maatskappy gebring en is nou reggestel.
Met betrekking tot die kommentaar oor die waarde van geld vir die huur, word die woonstel geadverteer bestaande uit drie slaapkamers wat ses mense akkommodeer. In jou geval was die bespreking vir net twee gaste. In die geval waar daar net twee gaste is, is die koste wel per persoon meer.
Om n fantasies uitsig te kry, is dit ongelukkig dikwels nodig om baaie stappe te bou.
Ons dank jy vir jou verblyf met ons, en hopelik sal die weer n bietjie beter wees wanneer jy weer na die kus reis.
Beste wense. Brenda

Opregte gasvryheid met die mooiste uitsig.

Een van my lekkerste seevakansies ooit, die woonstel was pragtig, ruim en skoon. Die eienaar het my tot bederf met 'n bottle sjampanje vir my verjaarsdag. Liefste mense ek sal definitief weer hier kom vakansie hou.

Genuine hospitality with the most beautiful view.

One of my best sea holidays ever, the apartment was beautiful, spacious and clean. The owner treated me to a bottle of champagne for my birthday. Dearest people, I will definitely come here again for a holiday.

Beautiful apartment!

Beautiful flat, very friendly owner, quick responses, super equipment with everything that you might need, nice view on the ocean. Late checkout has been offered although we haven't even asked for it. There is nothing we could complain about! We could have stayed there forever.

Onvergeetlik.

Die eienaar Brenda, is so vriendelik en bereid om die ekstra myl te gaan. Die plekkie het 'n onvergeetlike uitsig oor die see. Die plekkie het alles wat 'n mens nodig het en nog meer. Loopafstand van die strand. Baie netjies en veilig.

Fantastiese ligging. Eenheid kort onderhoudswerk.

Baie vriendelike en behulpsame eienaar. Glo nie die eenheid is op standaard in terme van soortgelyke verblyf beskikbaar nie. Dit het 'n fantastiese ligging en uitsig, maar die eenheid kort baie onderhoud. Die stoofplate, los matte en braaier was glad nie skoon nie. Daar was vere linne in die hoofslaapkamer en sommige mense kan allergies wees daarvoor. Algemeen: fantastiese uitsig en ligging, maar ouerige woonstel wat heelwat werk benodig en items was hier en daar nie skoon nie.

Fantastic location. Unit needs maintenance work.

Very friendly and helpful owner. Do not believe the unit is up to standard in terms of similar accommodation available. It has a fantastic location and view, but the unit needs a lot of maintenance. The stove plates, loose carpets and braai were not clean at all. There was feather linen in the master bedroom and some people may be allergic to it. Overall: fantastic view and location, but older apartment that needs a lot of work and items were not clean here and there.
