The unit is clean and safe with easy access to the beach.

The Complex also has a separate exit and entrance when going to the Shelly Mall so that you don't have to use the busy Marine Drive. The unit is spacious with ceiling fans and is a true reflection of the online pictures.

Baie lekker kompleks wat so mooi onderhou word.

Al wat ek anders sou wou hê is 'n see-uitsig, maar gelukkig is die see sommer loopafstand. Die eenheid is baie gerieflik ingerig. Die tennisbaan is ook 'n lekker bonus. Swembaddens is pragtig skoon.

Very nice complex that is so well maintained.

All I would have liked otherwise is a sea view, but luckily the sea is within walking distance. The unit is very comfortably furnished. The tennis court is also a nice bonus. Swimming pools are beautifully clean.

Wonderlike oord en eenheid was puik toegerus.

Het dit baie geniet, kan die eenheid aanbeveel. Dit was net belaglik dat die oord die tennisbaan en braaiers gesluit het weens die vlak 3 inperking. Kan verstaan dat die swembad 'n risiko inhou, maar hoe op aarde gaan gesinslede wat tennis speel of saam braai omdat daar nie ander geriewe vir braai in die eenheid is nie, enigsins 'n risiko loop om Covid-19 te kry. Belaglike besluitneming vanaf die oord wat ons laaste 5 dae onsmaaklik gemaak het.

Wonderful resort and unit was well equipped.

Really enjoyed it, can recommend the unit. It was just ridiculous that the resort closed the tennis court and braaiers due to the level 3 containment. Can understand that the swimming pool poses a risk, but how on earth are family members playing tennis or barbecuing together because there are no other facilities for barbeque in the unit, at all at risk of getting Covid-19. Ridiculous decision making from the resort which made our last 5 days unpleasant.

Beautiful family vacation.

Beautiful accommodation with most necessary amenities for self catering apartment. Laundry was a bit difficult as the facility offers a coin operated system, in house would have been better. Overall, excellent place for kids and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Very pleasant, clean and relaxing.

Trampoline, tennis court, playground and pond with ducks, terrapins, peacock and tilapia fish were very well maintained. Quiet and relaxing complex. Just remember to bring your own putt-putt clubs and golf balls. Our unit, number 80, was well stocked with kitchen equipment and very clean. Braai areas ample and in good condition, with a roof over them.

Met die rustige omgewing kon ons lekker rus.

Ons verblyf was fantasties! Ons drie het elke dag geniet. Drie kamers en 2 badkamers met 'n oopplan-sitkamer, -eetkamer en -kombuis kon ons nie vir meer vra nie. Volledig toegerus en geen afskeep nie. Ons parkering is by ons deur en dit is 'n grondvloereenheid. Skoon en netjies!

Baie lekker eenheid, maar ver van swemstrand, anders as wat adverteer is, en ook dat jy gou mall toe kan stap is ook nie waar nie. Dankie aan Surf Bay Sands, baie lekker gekuier.

Heerlike vakansie op die strand. Baie veilig vir kinders!

Dit was die tweede keer dat ons by 80 Surf Bay Sands vakansie hou. Ons geniet dit die meeste om net by die agterste hek uit te loop en dan is jy op die strand. Die kleinkinders geniet die rotspoele - swem en vang vissies met hulle nette. Surf Bay Sands se terrein self is baie netjies en skoon, met baie dinge om die kinders besig te hou. Voorwaar 'n plek waar 'n gesin heerlik vakansie kan hou! Baie dankie! Sien julle weer!

Great holiday on the beach. Very safe for children!

This was our second time vacationing at 80 Surf Bay Sands. We enjoy the most just walking out the back gate and then you are on the beach. The grandchildren enjoy the rock pools - swimming and catching fish with their nets. Surf Bay Sands grounds themselves are very neat and clean, with plenty of things to keep the kids busy. Truly a place where a family can have a wonderful holiday! Thank you very much! See you again!

Surf Bay Sands is a perfect holiday venue.

Surf Bay Sands is an excellent complex with wonderful facilities. Unit 80 has small issues, that if resolved, would be the a very comfortable and pleasant holiday apartment.

Ons het verskriklik lekker gebly.

Ons was baie beïndruk met 80 Surf Bay. Dit wat mens betaal en dit wat mens kry is amazing. Regtig waarde vir geld. Die eenheid is mooi en het lekker gemaklike banke. Die kinders het die speelarea en swembad baie geniet en die strand is binne loopafstand.

Perfek vir 'n groot gesin met klein kindertjies. Baie aktiwiteite om die kinders besig te hou en oor as genoeg privaatheid en stilte vir mamma en pappa om ook lekker te rus.

Baie lekker.

Die twee hekke help met roete-beplanning veral met die besige Desember-verkeer. Die tennisbaan en swembaddens hou die kinders lekker besig wanneer ons daar is. Al wat kortkom is lugversorging.

Swak diens

Tydens my besoek het ek 'n trustee ontmoet op die perseel. Volgens die persoon is daar tydens 'n vergadering besluit dat die tariewe gedurende die winter R500 per nag beloop en nie R800 soos ek betaal het nie. Volgens die persoon moes die deposito ook terugbetaal word. Daar was geen skoonmaakdiens in 9 dae nie en geen skoon beddegoed of besem in die eenheid nie.Ek voel dat ek ingeloop is na aanleiding van my gesprek met 'n trustee op die perseel. Die persoon was verbaas om te hoor wat ek per nag betaal het aangesien dit verskil van 'n vergaderings-besluit wat hulle geneem het . Ander plekke wat ek in die verlede besoek het, laat daagliks die eenhede skoonmaak! Teen die prys wat ek betaal het, het ek beter diens verwag. Die kompleks was netjies en pas glad nie by die swak diens nie

Poor service

During my visit I met a trustee on site. According to the person, it was decided during a meeting that the rates during the winter amount to R500 per night and not R800 as I paid. According to the person, the deposit also had to be returned. There was no cleaning service in 9 days and no clean bedding or broom in the unit. I feel like I was walked in following my conversation with a trustee on the premises. The person was surprised to hear what I paid per night as it was different from a meeting decision they made. Other places I have visited in the past have the units cleaned daily! For the price I paid, I expected better service. The complex was neat and did not match the poor service at all

80 Surf Bay Sands 's response

Goeie dag Brandon, kan jy asb vir my die trustee se naam en besonderhede gee sodat ek die aangeleentheid met hul kan opneem aangesien ons 'n private eenheid het, en ons die enigste trustees van die betrokke eenheid is. Ek het persoonlik die kwotasie vir jou gedoen en gestuur - nêrens was daar genoem dat daar 'n daaglikse skoonmaakdiens en 'n terugbetaling van die deposito is nie. Jy het ook tydens 'n skoolvakansie gegaan waar die pryse normaalweg duurder is. Ander plekke vra 'n breekdeposito wat terugbetaalbaar is - ons vra nie die deposito tans nie.

Groete Elmarie
