Charming and cozy cottage with a wonderful host.

A Stones Throw Cottage was exactly what we were looking for. It was the most beautiful little cottage, clean, tidy and the most perfect host, always at the end of the phone if we had any queries. This was our first time travelling to South Africa and we felt very safe in the area, and it was ideally located. A Stones Throw Cottage was in a quiet location and only a 5-minute walk to the shops and beach. If you are looking to stay in Fish Hoek, I would highly recommend staying at A Stones Throw Cottage.

Baie lekker.

Alles was 100%. Ek het die tyd baie geniet. Die braaifasiliteit was baie mooi en die ligging buite perfek.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Clean, central, safe.

Very nice cottage close to the beach and grocery stores. We felt at home and safe from the beginning. Very good communication with the owner. Price/value is unbeatable.

Glad nie positief nie.

Die plekkie is pragtig ingerig en het al die basiese fasiliteite. Ons het Vrydagmiddag gearriveer en gesien die toilet se water styg nadat mens die toilet getrek het, maar omdat dit weer afgesak het daarna, het ons gedink dis dalk maar hoe die toilet werk. Teen 10 uur die aand wou die water egter nie meer afsak nie en het ons besef die toilet is geblok. Ons wou nie die eienaar so laat pla nie en ek het die volgende oggend vir haar 'n boodskap gestuur. Sy het my daarna gebel en gesê dat daar niks fout was met die toilet nie en dat dit net kan gebeur as mens te veel toiletpapier gebruik. Ek het haar verseker dat ons dit nie gedoen het nie en dat ons nou 'n probleem het wat uitgesorteer moes word. Sy het allerhande verskonings gehad van hoe besig sy is en dat dit te duur is om 'n loodgieter op 'n Saterdag te laat uitkom. Toe ons vir haar sê dat ons betaal vir die akkommodasie en sy die probleem sal moet uitsorteer, was sy nog steeds nie gelukkig om iets daaraan te doen nie. Ons vier volwassenes moes na die winkelsentrum toe ry om die toilet daar te gebruik. Ons het selfs aangebied dat ons die toilet self sal probeer regmaak as sy 'n plunger sou bring. Sy het eventually 'n loodgieter laat kom en die toilet was teen 3 nm weer in 'n werkende toestand. Dit het gevoel asof sy ons blameer vir die geblokte toilet en sy was geensins simpatiek teenoor die dilemma nie. Ek is net dankbaar dat sy dit uiteindelik wel uitgesorteer het. Ons het ongeveer 11 uur die aand van 'n troue afgekom en my man het die 2 voertuie omgeruil omdat die ander egpaar vroeg die volgende oggend sou ry. Hy was skaars terug in die woonstel toe sy deur die muur skree dat ons die hek oop vergeet het. Ons het glad nie welkom op haar perseel gevoel nie en sal die blyplek glad nie aanbeveel nie.

Not positive at all.

The place is beautifully furnished and has all the basic facilities. We arrived on Friday afternoon and saw the toilet's water rise after you flushed the toilet, but because it went down again afterwards, we thought maybe that's just how the toilet works. By 10 o'clock in the evening, however, the water would no longer go down and we realized that the toilet was blocked. We didn't want to bother the owner like that and I sent her a message the next morning. She called me afterwards and said that there was nothing wrong with the toilet and that it can only happen if you use too much toilet paper. I assured her that we hadn't and that we now had a problem that needed to be sorted out. She had all kinds of excuses about how busy she was and that it was too expensive to have a plumber come out on a Saturday. When we told her that we were paying for the accommodation and she would have to sort out the problem, she was still not happy to do anything about it. We four adults had to drive to the shopping center to use the toilet there. We even offered that we would try to fix the toilet ourselves if she would bring a plunger. She eventually had a plumber come and the toilet was back in working order by 3 pm. It felt like she was blaming us for the blocked toilet and she was in no way sympathetic to the dilemma. I'm just thankful that she finally sorted it out. We got off a wedding at about 11 o'clock the night before and my husband swapped the 2 vehicles because the other couple would be driving early the next morning. He was barely back in the apartment when she shouted through the wall that we had left the gate open. We did not feel welcome at all on her premises and would not recommend the place to stay at all.

Baie netjies en baie goed toegerus met alles wat nodig is.

Die woonstel is baie duidelik onlangs gebou want al die binnetoerusting is modern en baie netjiese afwerking. Baie stil en privaat. Vyf minute se ry na die strand.

Very tidy and very well equipped with everything you need.

The apartment is very clearly recently built because all the interior equipment is modern and very neat finish. Very quiet and private. Five minutes drive to the beach.

Kuier was lieflik en het dit verskriklik baie geniet. Dit was in 'n lieflike omgewing en baie rustig en stil. Ek sal enige tyd weer daar bly.

Asemrowende plek. Sal enige tyd weer daar slaap. Alles was net wow en dit het definitely my expectations exceeded.
