Wonderlike luukse verblyf.

Wonderlike kuierplek. Die blyplek is ten volle toegerus, selfs as jy iets vergeet het. Die plek kan maklik baie mense entertain, binne of op die stoep. Baie vriendelik ontvang en ekstra moeite gedoen. Kamers is baie netjies, skoon en van goeie gehalte beddens.

Wonderful luxury accommodation.

Wonderful place to visit. The accommodation is fully equipped, even if you have forgotten something. The place can easily entertain many people, inside or on the porch. Very friendly welcome and extra effort made. Rooms are very neat, clean and of good quality beds.

Super spacious and comfortable. Fully equipped. Accommodating. Perfectly positioned. Wonderful hosts. The only negatives were mosquitos and leaking showers.

Home away from home.

Dankie Albert vir 'n lekker tyd in jou pragtige huis. Huis is ten volle ingerig. Van 2-punt-plugs, Nespresso, boogie boards, 2 plekke om te braai en die lys kan aangaan. Huis is sentraal as 'n basis in Hermanus en baie veilig al is dit op die hoofpad.

Gemaklik en groot ruimte.

Gemaklike beddens. Goed toegeruste kombuis. Geleë op die hoofpad deur Hermanus, maar 'n kort en vinnige ry na die see.

Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Located on the main road through Hermanus, but a short and quick drive to the sea.

Lekker gekuier met alles wat nodig is om te onthaal en nog meer!

Die groot eetkamertafel was ‘n wonderlike kuierplek vir ons as gesin. Die binnebraai het ons in staat gestel om potjiekos te maak waar almal saam kon kuier in gure weer. Beveel die huis aan vir vriende en familie vir wonderlike saamkuier!

The large dining room table was a wonderful meeting place for us as a family. The indoor barbecue enabled us to make potjie food where everyone could hang out together in inclement weather. Recommend the house to friends and family for a great get together!

We promise to be back soon!

We were met on arrival by our hostess Jacqui, who impressed us with her friendly hospitable welcome and no-nonsense direct attitude of pragmatism, matter-of-fact business-like introduction to a cooks’ tour of the premises, which was a revelation in that it surpassed our expectations – your photographs do not do justice to the place. The house was spacious, comfortable, and well appointed; the texture and colours easy, not to mention the magnificent dining table! Thank you Jacqui.

Dear Mr Bhettay,

It was an absolute pleasure to have you stay with us and we are glad that everything was up to and more than expectation.

Looking forward to welcoming you back soon.

Baie lekker!

Ons het baie lekker en warm gekuier! Daar is alles en nog meer in die huis. Die ekstra kombersie in die sitkamer was ook 'n ekstra verrassing. Die huis was ideaal vir ons 2 gesinne en ouma.

Ongelooflik!

Ons het verskriklik lekker gebly! Die huis roem die mooiste see-uitsig en die voorste stoep was ideaal vir sundowners. Ons het meeste van die naweek op die agterste stoep en om die enorme eetkamertafel deurgebring en net lekker opgevang en gekuier! Die huis is ongelooflik mooi en is uitge-"kit" met net die beste kwalitiet kombuistoerusting, meubels en kunswerke. Alhoewel die huis aan die buitewyke van Hermanus geleë is, het dit ons glad nie gepla nie - jy ry vyf minute en jy's in die dorp. Ons was gewaarsku teen bobbejane en dat ons alles moet toe hou wanneer ons nie by die huis is nie, maar dink hulle was seker ook met vakansie. Baie dankie Whale of a Time, hopelik sien julle ons gou weer! Dit was 'n naweek vir die boekies!

Unbelievable!

We had a great stay! The house boasts the most beautiful sea views and the front porch was ideal for sundowners. We spent most of the weekend on the back porch and around the huge dining table, just catching up and enjoying ourselves! The house is incredibly beautiful and is kitted out with the best quality kitchenware, furniture and art. Although the house is located on the outskirts of Hermanus, it did not bother us at all - it's only a five minute drive and you'll find yourself in town. We were warned against baboons and that we should keep everything closed when we are not at home, but we think they were also on holiday. Thank you very much, Whale of a Time, hopefully you will see us soon again! It was a weekend for the books!
