It was fine I guess - very basic. Don't recommend going in winter though.

We stayed at 9 on Dolfyn from mid to end of July 2024. Check-in went smoothly, and we settled in well enough. However, things started going backwards from there. The hot water was off for the first 24 hours of our stay. We were told there was maintenance done on the geyser before our arrival, and the host neglected to check that everything was working before our check-in. Our stay was also in the midst of winter. Other than the fireplace in the lounge and a small oil heater in the main bedroom, there were no other sources of heat. The duvets on all the beds were thin summer duvets, and there were no winter blankets anywhere to be found. The outside lights on the downstairs patio were also not working, so we had to have electricians and plumbers come in to fix things during our stay, which is not ideal, although we appreciate the host tending to things quickly. The only cleaning implements left for us were a sponge and some Sunlight liquid. Not even a broom to sweep up beach sand off the floors or a surface cleaner to wipe down the counters with. We were also only left with 1 trash bag, even though we booked a stay for just under a week long. Overall, the stay was fine, but not at all what we were used to or expecting based on previous stays in Yzerfontein. It just felt like the host took no care to make sure the accommodations were suitable before check-in or that things were working before we arrived.

Hi Monlee,
Thank you for the time you took to give us the detailed information. We will immediately pass this information on to the owner as these issues are quite unexpected for us as agents. Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience.

Die verblyf was aangenaam, maar daar was geen tee of koffiepakkies beskikbaar nie.

Die huis was ruim en redelik toegerus.

Fantasties.

Ons sal defintief weer na die plekkie toe gaan, dis rustig, netjies en naby alles. Een van die bestes waar ons al was en perfek as jy met 'n hondjie gaan.

Fantastic.

We will definitely go to the place again, it's quiet, tidy and close to everything. One of the best we've been to and perfect if you're going with a dog.

Peaceful and tranquil stay at an excellent establishment.

Thanks so much to the owners and agents of this establishment - excellent service from Renaldi and Helena. We had a lovely, peaceful stay at 9 on Dolfyn. Excellent location, close to all amenities. The house was clean, neat, and beautiful. Hassle-free check-in and check-out. Will definitely be staying there again.

Lekker by die see saam met ons honde.

Die verblyf is absoluut perfek vir reis saam met honde en die ligging is binne stapafstand van die strand. Ons het 'n heerlike en rustige tydjie gehad. Baie dankie!

Wonderlike tyd naby alles en stapafstand van see.

Was 'n lekker 10 dae breek. Baie vir kinders om te doen op die strand.

One het baie lekker gebly.

Die huis is mooi, goed toegerus en netjies. Daar is niks wat ons gesoek het of gemis het nie, veral die kombuis is ten volle toegerus. Daar is oorgenoeg badkamers en slaapkamers. Die huis was wel koud binne en dit is winter, maar daar is niks matte of verwarmers in die huis nie.

One had a very nice stay.

The house is beautiful, well equipped and tidy. There is nothing we were looking for or missed, especially the kitchen is fully equipped. There are ample bathrooms and bedrooms. The house was cold inside and it is winter, but there are no carpets or heaters in the house.

Dankie vir jou terugvoer Morne. Ek sal jou dit aan die eienaars noem.
Hierdie is 'n dierevriendelik eenheid en daarom verkies ons om geen matte te gebruik nie. Ons het nou vir twee winters nie vreeslik koud gekry aan die Weskus nie, maar die weer is duidelik dié jaar so bietjie anders. Hoop om julle spoedig weer in Yzerfontein te ontvang!
Groete,
Karen Schrader

Rustig en gemaklik naby die see.

Ons het heerlik gebly by 9 on Dolfyn. Die huis is baie goed toegerus en netjies met ruim kamers. Die stoep en die braaikamer was veral goeie pluspunte. Dit het ons veral gepas omdat die huis troeteldiervriendelik is en baie naby die see is.

Quiet and comfortable near the sea.

We had a wonderful stay at 9 on Dolfyn. The house is very well equipped and tidy with spacious rooms. The porch and the braai room were particularly good pluses. It suited us especially because the house is pet friendly and very close to the sea.
