Pragtige uitsig, goed toegerus. Rustige omgewing, pragtige strand.

Amazing.

8 on Penguin at Melkbosstrand has become my yearly retreat from the hustle and bustle of Johannesburg. It never disappoints, and it is central and close to areas worth exploring. It has an amazing sea view from the apartment to enjoy a drink and is extremely close to the beach.

Lekker gebly, perfekte ligging.

Baie lekker gebly, naby die see, naby die winkels. Daar moet dalk net volgende keer melk in die yskas wees. Sommige mense bly net vir een aand en pak nie alles in nie, omdat hulle dink die plek sal reeds die nodige hê, bv. melk, koffie.

Nice stay, perfect location.

Very nice stay, close to the sea, close to the shops. Maybe there should be milk in the fridge next time. Some people only stay for one night and don't pack everything, because they think the place will already have what they need, e.g. milk, coffee.

Ons het lekker gekuier.

Goeie ligging. Die plek was skoon en netjies en het alles wat mens nodig het. 'n Handreling op die trap wat blootgestel is aan die element sal 'n aanwins wees. Die trappe is nogal glad as dit nat is.

Gemaklik en lekker.

Ons het 2 agtereenvolgende naweke daar gebly. Alhoewel ons gereël het vir 'n vroeë inboek vir die eerste naweek, was die sleutel nie beskikbaar nie. Die motorhuis is nie baie ruim nie, en my dubbelkajuitbakkie sou nie inpas nie. Gelukkig was ons daar met my vrou se kar. Handreëlings sal nogal handig wees by trappe, want die trappe word nat as dit reën.

Easy and delicious.

We stayed there 2 consecutive weekends. Although we arranged for an early check-in for the first weekend, the key was not available. The garage is not very spacious, and my double cab pickup would not fit. Luckily we were there with my wife's car. Hand arrangements will be quite handy on stairs, because the stairs get wet when it rains.

Dear George, thank you for your review. I have checked the last 50 or more reviews on our booking site on this platform, and we have never received a '1' for customer service. This rating has not been given on any of our other booking sites either. We average between 4 and 5 for 90% of our ratings on this booking platform. Regarding the customer service for this booking, you wanted to check in at 08:00 in the morning, which goes against our 15:00 check-in time. Understandably, with back-to-back bookings, we could not accommodate this. You also insisted on charging your large off-road refrigerator in our garage, which used a significant amount of electricity, for which we did not charge. When you arrived, you had a very large vehicle that did not fit in the garage, and you requested to have it accommodated elsewhere on the property. Unfortunately, we were unable to fulfil this request. We pride ourselves on offering a valuable option for guests, which is very close to the sea, with private beach access and a perfect view of Table Mountain, which all our guests rave about. As previously mentioned, 90% of the past 50 guest reviews have rated us top 5 for cleanliness, customer service, and total value for money. These reviews are similar to those received on our other booking sites where we are rated as super hosts, etc. and where guests have rated our customer service as excellent. Regards, 8 on Penguin.

Excellent beach view, relaxing, comfortable, clean & excellent service by owners.

I would like to say thank you very much to Michelle and Mike for allowing our family to spend our holidays in your accommodation. Will definitely book again this holiday apartment. Stunning beach view from upstairs and very nice and relaxing. Nice braai area with a lovely beach view. The entire apartment was clean and comfortable when we checked in. Clean bedding, towels, etc. You and Mike assisted us at all times and went the extra mile for us. It was very private and nice and quiet. Loved the balcony and swimming pool. Nice coffee, sugar, and tea provided. Plenty of cutlery to use. Could sit every day and watch the beach view and take walks on the beach as well.

Lekker rustig en 'n mooi uitsig op Tafelberg en see.

Vir seker waarde vir jou geld. Die woonstel het alles wat mens nodig het en baie ruimte, so as daar 'n reendag is, kan mens lekker net daar kuier. Lekker binne braai. Die see is wel loopafstand van die woonstel, maar dit is lekkerder om na die strand se piekniekplek te ry. Die vensters van die woonstel maak ook groot oop, so jy weet verseker jy is by die see. En ons gasvrou was baie behulpsaam met enige iets op WhatsApp en het ook vir ons eetplekke aanbeveel. Dankie weer eens, ons het dit verskriklik geniet.

For sure value for money. The apartment has everything you need and a lot of space, so if there is a rainy day, you can just hang out there. Have a good barbecue inside. The sea is within walking distance of the apartment, but it is more pleasant to drive to the beach's picnic area. The windows of the apartment also open wide, so you know for sure that you are by the sea. And our hostess was very helpful with anything on WhatsApp and also recommended us places to eat. Thanks again, we really enjoyed it.

Heerlik uitgerus!

Michelle was baie gasvry. Die eenheid was netjies, skoon en goed toegerus. Die uitsig was asemrowend en die strand was regtig baie naby. Ek kon elke aand die gedruis van die see hoor. Ons was gelukkig met goeie weer en kon oggend en saans heerlik op die strand gaan draf en loop. Dit is baie privaat en as jy vir 'n wegbreek van die stad se lawaai soek en net na stilte en vrede smag, is dit die plek vir jou. Die eenheid was binne loopafstand van die hoofstrand met verkeie restaurante, maar wees gewaarsku, dit is 'n entjie se stap, veral as jy nie gewoond is aan ver loop nie. Die meeste restaurante is vol op naweke en moet met Dineplan bespreek word, maar gelukkig nie almal nie. Nogal 'n verskeidenheid eetplekke om van te kies, afhangende na die "vibe" waarna jy soek. Die winkelsentrums is klein, maar voorsien die nodigste, daar was darem ook 'n Woollies. Ek sal 8 on Penguin in Melkbos weer besoek, my tipe verbyf uit die stad se gewoel en die area is nie so kommersieël nie.

Nicely rested!

Michelle was very hospitable. The unit was neat, clean and well equipped. The view was breathtaking and the beach was really close. I could hear the roar of the sea every night. We were lucky with good weather and could go jogging and walking on the beach in the morning and evening. It's very private and if you're looking for a break from the city noise and just want some peace and quiet, this is the place for you. The unit was within walking distance of the main beach with several restaurants, but be warned, it's a bit of a walk, especially if you're not used to walking far. Most restaurants are full on weekends and must be booked with Dineplan, but fortunately not all. Quite a variety of eateries to choose from depending on the "vibe" you're after. The shopping centers are small, but provide the essentials, at least there was also a Woollies. I will visit 8 on Penguin in Melkbos again, my type escapes the hustle and bustle of the city and the area is not so commercial.

Al is daar nie regtig buite speelplek vir die kinders nie, maak die lekker baie spasie in die woonstel op vir dit. Baie rustig en net wat mens nodig het. Ongelooflike uitsig en lekker naby aan die strand. Ons het dit baie geniet en sal verseker teruggaan.

Ons het verblyf benodig om die Imagine Dragons vertoning by te woon.

Ons het verblyf benodig om die Imagine Dragons vertoning by te woon. Na ure in die verkeer na die vertoning kom ons oggendure by woonstel aan. Load shedding het veroorsaak dat ons nie die garagedeur kon oopmaak om toegang tot die woonstel te kry nie. Ons het baie sleg gevoel om die eienaars in die oggendure wakker te moes bel vir hulp. Tog het hulle ons steeds vriendelik gehelp om die deur van binne oop te maak. Baie dankie vir 'n mooi en skoon blyplek en hul behulpsaamheid.

We needed accommodation to attend the Imagine Dragons show. After hours in traffic after the show, we arrive at the apartment in the morning hours. Load shedding caused us to be unable to open the garage door to access the apartment. We felt very bad about having to call the owners awake in the morning hours for help. Yet they still kindly helped us open the door from the inside. Many thanks for a nice and clean place to stay and their helpfulness.

Baie gemaklike woonstel.

Ons het heerlik gebly - gesin met 2 kinders. Kinders het lekker geswem. As ek moet fout vind - ons is baie lief vir diere, so die honde het ons nie gepla nie, maar die honde se gemors was op die gras toe ons daar gesit het, 'n hele paar wat nie opgetel was nie.

Big and convenient but needing repairs.

The apartment is huge. Lots of space, equipment, etc. But needing a makeover. Needs to get rid of the rust, cracks, and fittings that need painting. This would suit someone needing lots of space and classiness is not a requirement.

Many thanks for your comments. Please note that we kindly request guests to clean up their dishes and not to leave them unwashed. We clean the apartment ourselves and take care to ensure that the unit is in pristine condition when our guests arrive.

Beslis die moeite werd vir 'n wegbreek na die see.

Baie nice en cosy woonstelletjie met als wat jy nodig het op die eienaar se perseel. Groot skuifvensters waardeur jy die see-briesie kan voel en die see kan hoor, maar heeltemal op sy eie. Veilige parkering in 'n motorhuis wat met 'n remote oop en toe maak. Sal die plekkie enigetyd aanbeveel, en sal ook weer 'n besoekie in die toekoms doen. Baie dankie vir die goeie kommunikasie en tuis-voel! Waardeer dit!

Very nice and cozy little apartment with everything you need on the owner's premises. Large sliding windows through which you can feel the sea breeze and hear the sea, but completely on its own. Secure parking in a garage that opens and closes with a remote. Would recommend the place anytime, and will visit again in the future. Thank you very much for the good communication and feeling at home! Appreciate it!

Rustige Webreek, perfek geleë met 'n mooi uitsig.

8 On Penguin is die perfekte woonstel vir 'n klein gesin van vier mense, lieflike braai-area, sitkamer, groot kamers en veilige parkeerplek, maak dat mens van die stad se gedruis kan wegglip en die rustigheid geniet saam met 'n pragtige uitsig, sonder dat jy op mekaar se voete trap of enige bekommernis oor veiligheid hoef te hê. Dit is 'n lieflike woonstel wat met ons aankoms verhit was (dit was 'n koue dag met ons aankoms), wat nogals 'n baie besonderse ekstra is wat mens laat welkom voel by jou bestemming. Sal 8 on Penguin beslis aanbeveel.

It's a lovely apartment that was heated when we arrived (it was a cold day when we arrived), which is a very special extra that makes you feel welcome at your destination. Would definitely recommend 8 on Penguin.

Rustig, lekker privaat en baie geniet.

Die ruim woonstel was baie gemaklik vir ons gesin van vier. Dit was baie skoon en netjies en alles nodig was voorsien. Die binnebraai was ook 'n groot bonus, veral vir die koel aande en as windjie so 'n bietjie druk en dan natuurlik die pragtige uitsig van die see en die lekker koel seelug wat alles komplementeer. Ons sal definitief weer 'n bespreking doen. Dankie Michelle, ons tydjie was onvergeetlik.

Quiet, nice private and very much enjoyed.

The spacious apartment was very comfortable for our family of four. It was very clean and tidy and everything needed was provided. The indoor braai was also a big bonus, especially for the cool evenings and when the wind picked up a bit and then of course the beautiful view of the sea and the cool sea air that complements everything. We will definitely book again. Thank you Michelle, our time was unforgettable.

'n Rustige atmosfeer met pragtige vistas en die gedruis van golwe.

Hierdie verblyf bied 'n gerieflike wegbreek vir 4 persone wat opsoek is na die rustige deel van die Kaap. Tog is jy naby aan talle besienswaardighede soos Darling en Paternoster. Die eenheid is baie netjies en goed toegerus. Die binnebraaier is natuurlik 'n bonus teen die Kaapse winde.

A peaceful atmosphere with beautiful vistas and the sound of waves.

This accommodation offers a comfortable break for 4 people who are looking for the peaceful part of the Cape. Yet you are close to many attractions such as Darling and Paternoster. The unit is very neat and well equipped. The indoor grill is of course a bonus against the Cape winds.

Netjiese en gerieflike plek.

Trappe is baie gevaarlik wanneer dit nat is. Relings binne die trappe om aan vas te hou tydens op- of afgaan sal baie waardevol wees. Enige persoon kan gly en val en ernstig beseer word. DStv sal baie waarde toevoeg, almal kyk nie net flieks nie.

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

Neat and comfortable place.

Stairs are very dangerous when wet. Railings inside the stairs to hold on to when going up or down would be very valuable. Any person can slip and fall and be seriously injured. DStv will add a lot of value, everyone doesn't just watch movies.

Die woonstel is ruim. Die netjiese badkamer en die ingeboude braai is goeie aspekte van die woonstel. Die beddens kort aandag. 'n Reuk van muf wat uit die een yskas kom, het in die plek gehang, wat verblyf onaangenaam gemaak het.

Ons het Oktober 4 plekke deur webtuiste bespreek en kan daarom goed vergelyk. Die kommunikasie met die verhuurder was moeilik. Die dag van ons aankoms kon ek haar glad nie bereik nie. Dit is nie aanvaarbaar nie. Die beskrywing op webtuiste is verkeerd en dis nie net iets klein nie. Daar is nie gratis WiFi nie. Ons moes werk doen en het daarop gereken. Daar is ook nie DStv nie. Die tweede slaapkamer is eintlik omskep in 'n slaapvertrek wat aan die eenkant met 'n skuifgordyn toemaak. Daar is nie regtig die uitsig na Tafelberg soos die advertensie sê nie. Ek het foto's van 'n digitale kamera na die see toe om dit te bevestig. Die woonstel is ruim en veilig. Maar die mufreuk wat uit die een yskas gekom het, het die verblyf onaangenaam gemaak. Om hierdie woonstel 'n hoë gradering te gee, soos baie resensies doen, is onbillik teenoor eienaars wat hulle verblyfplekke regtig netjies en goed toegerus gemaak het, soos die ander drie plekke waar ons die afgelope maand gebly het. Jammer oor die negatiewe opmerkings, maar dit is soos ons die verblyf beleef het en vir ander daarvan gaan vertel.

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

The apartment is spacious. The neat bathroom and the built-in braai are good aspects of the apartment. The beds need attention. A musty smell coming from the one fridge hung in the place, making stay unpleasant.

We booked 4 places through the website in October and can therefore compare well. The communication with the landlord was difficult. The day of our arrival I could not reach her at all. This is not acceptable. The description on the website is wrong and it's not just something small. There is no free WiFi. We had to do work and counted on it. There is also no DStv. The second bedroom has actually been converted into a bedroom that closes on one side with a sliding curtain. There is not really the view to Table Mountain as the advertisement says. I have pictures from a digital camera facing the sea to confirm this. The apartment is spacious and safe. But the musty smell coming from the one fridge made the stay unpleasant. To give this apartment a high rating, as many reviews do, is unfair to owners who have made their accommodations really neat and well equipped, like the other three places we've stayed in the past month. Sorry about the negative comments, but this is how we experienced the stay and will tell others about it.

Safe, quiet and calm.

It was a lovely getaway. The accommodation was spacious, clean with all the necessary amenities. Owners were friendly, helpful and very hospitable. I will gladly book there again. Thank you very much!

Perfek vir lang of kort wegbreek.

8 on Penguin het alles en meer as wat ons nodig gehad het gebied. Die plek is lekker ruim vir 'n familie.

Baie skoon en netjies.

Ek was nie baie daar gewees nie, net daar geslaap. Die twee woonstelle is reg langs mekaar so as die mense langs rondbeweeg het, vroeg en laat, kon jy als hoor. Ek is 'n baie ligte slaper so dis verstaanbaar.

Very clean and neat.

I wasn't there often, just slept there. The two apartments are right next to each other so if the people moved around, early and late, you could hear everything. I'm a very light sleeper so it's understandable.

Gerieflike, ruim verblyf. Veilige omgewing.

8 on Penguin bied 'n gerieflike, ruim eenheid. Mike en Michelle baie behulpsaam wanneer iets nodig was. Ons is op hoogte gehou van (onverwagse) load shedding-fases.

Dis 'n ruim, netjiese plek.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Daar is genoeg ruimte en dis skoon en netjies en gerieflik met alles wat nodig was. Ons motor kon egter nie in die motorhuis nie, en moes dus op straat staan, wat ek anders sou verkies.

It's a spacious, neat place.

We had a very nice stay. There is enough space and it is clean and tidy and comfortable with everything that was needed. However, our car couldn't fit in the garage, so had to park on the street, which I would have preferred otherwise.

Was baie lekker, rustige plek. Dis 'n lekker plek net om weg te breek vir rustige tyd alleen.

Baie lieflike plek, eienaar was baie vriendelik, kar parkeerplek is safe, ons as gaste het veilig gevoel. Dis 'n baie mooi plek, groot, baie space wat ek baie van hou. Sal weer wil gaan en ek sal ander verwys na die plek.

Een van die beste verblyf waar ons nog tuisgegaan het.

Ek sal dit vir enige iemand aanbeveel, dit was skoon, netjies, uitsig was baie mooi, sonsondergang was pragtig, die rustigheid en die mooi strand. Die eienaars het uit hulle pad uit gegaan om ons tuis te laat voel, het vir ons 'n sak hout en melk gegee dat ons nie weer hoef te ry nie, baie vriendelik, wens ons kon langer daar gebly het.

One of the best stays we have ever stayed at.

I would recommend it to anyone, it was clean, neat, the view was very great, the sunset was beautiful, the tranquillity and the beautiful beach. The owners went out of their way to make us feel at home, gave us a sack of wood and milk so that we wouldn't have to drive again, very friendly, wishing we could have stayed longer.

Dit was presies wat ons nodig gehad het, ons eie plekkie naby die see.

Met die see-uitsig en lekker binnebraai het ons as gesin die plekkie vreeslik geniet. Dit was skoon en goed uigelê. My 6 jarige wou sommer daarnatoe verhuis.

It was exactly what we needed, our own little place near the sea.

With the sea view and nice indoor barbecue, we as a family really enjoyed the place. It was clean and well laid out. My 6 year old just wanted to move there.

Dit is beslis die moeite en geld werd om by 8 on Penguin oor te bly. Regtig 'n baie oulike plekkie en ek sal dit beslis aanbeveel.
