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.

Nice and quiet and a nice view of Table Mountain and the sea.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dear Johan
Many thanks for your comments, we appreciate feedback on our apartment.
Please note that there is wifi available, as our guests are aware.
You just needed to request the password in order to connect, or we were happy to assist you with connectivity.
We send our guests a welcoming sms prior to their arrival in which is indicated that Netflix is available in the apartment.
We have clear views of Table Mountain and the ocean, as many of our guests feedback will attest to.
All advertising photographs are taken from the lounge and braai area inside of the apartment.
We trust that you will enjoy your day further.
Stay safe and all the best for the remainder of the year ahead.
Kindest regards
Michelle
