Altyd lekker!

Fantasties! Ons kan nie wag om weer te gaan nie. Die uitsig en rustigheid is presies wat jy nodig het. Alles wat jy benodig, is daar en nog meer. Ons 3de kuier by Alambra gewees en sien uit na die volgende.

Nice quiet, peaceful and wonderful sea views house.

Our stay was wonderful, peaceful and we loved the sea views from the deck and within the house. Very spacious house with an alarm for safety. Also, we had nice weather in Franskraal and the owner of the house is very nice. We would stay there again most definitely.

'n Baie lekker naweek wegbreek.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Alles is baie gerieflik en die mense baie vriendelik. Die erf is ook goed omhein met 'n behoorlike hek, sodat ons honde lekker kon rondhardloop. Die uitsig is wonderlik en dit is baie naby aan die see.

A very nice weekend getaway.

We had a very nice stay. Everything is very comfortable and the people very friendly. The yard is also well fenced with a proper gate, so our dogs could run around. The view is great and it is very close to the sea.

Glad nie geniet nie.

Die kombuis area was lekker maar die res van die huise het 'n baie onaangename reuk gehad en ons kon glad nie die sitkamer en TV gebruik nie, baie onaangenaam. Gelukkig kon ons dit toemaak en het maar in die ander deel van die huise gebly. Baie koud in die winter met geen verhitting nie, baie onaangenaam en sal dit vir seker nie in die winter aanbeveel nie. Vloere was ook nie baie skoon nie.

Not enjoying at all.

The kitchen area was nice but the rest of the houses had a very unpleasant smell and we could not use the lounge and TV at all, very unpleasant. Luckily we were able to close it and just stayed in the other part of the houses. Very cold in winter with no heating, very unpleasant and for sure would not recommend in winter. Floors were not very clean either.

Relaxing escape.

It was a great relaxing getaway, and it was an added bonus that we could bring our furbabies. The only downside was that there is no main gate to the actual property, so we weren't able to let the dogs run around outside as they could run into the road. This was also a small safety concern as you can walk into the property with ease. The house came equipped with a gas plate for load shedding, WiFi, and DSTV. We didn't use the latter two, but it's great to have them available.

Alambra Beach House 's response

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Unfortunately, the main gate was delayed and is going up this week! Hope that the beams added the extra level of security.

Ruim huis ideaal vir groot gesinne.

Ons was 5 volwassenes en 'n 10-maande-oue baba. Die leefvertrek is ruim met 'n mat, ideaal vir die baba om op te speel/kruip. Sondek is ruim, maar het min sitplek vir kuier, tuinstoele sal beter werk saam met die braai. Binnekaggel is onbruikbaar en die nuwe deel se toilette spoel nie ordentlik nie. Linne was skoon, bed en kussings gemaklik. Gerieflike kombuis met potte/panne en eetgerei, dubbelyskaste is definitief 'n wenner in 'n vakansiehuis. Baie parkering voor die huis, gastetoilet 'n wenner vir vriende wat oorkom. Moet nie 'n luukse huis verwag nie, net 'n lekker gemaklike vakansiehuis naby die Franskraal/Uilkraal-strand. Goeie diens ontvang.

Spacious house ideal for large families.

We were 5 adults and a 10-month-old baby. The living room is spacious with a carpet, ideal for the baby to play/crawl on. Sun deck is spacious, but has little seating for hanging out, garden chairs would work better with the braai. Indoor fireplace is unusable and the new part's toilets do not flush properly. Linen was clean, bed and pillows comfortable. Comfortable kitchen with pots/pans and cutlery, double fridges is definitely a winner in a holiday home. Plenty of parking in front of the house, guest toilet a winner for friends coming over. Don't expect a luxury home, just a nice and comfortable holiday home near the Franskraal/Uilkraal beach. Good service received.

Baie gerieflik ingerig, netjies en goed geleë. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel vir ander.

Was slegs vir 3 aande daar, maar het dit baie geniet. Plek is ruim, veral vir groot klompie gaste. Sondek is 'n groot bonus met uitsig op branders en redelik beskut teen wind. Enigste negatiewe kommentaar is die kaggel wat rook en nie lekker trek nie. Agent was ook baie behulpsaam, vriendelik en goeie diens gelewer.

Very comfortably furnished, tidy and well located. Would definitely recommend to others.

Was only there for 3 nights but really enjoyed it. Place is spacious, especially for large group of guests. Sun deck is a big bonus with a view of the waves and quite sheltered from the wind. Only negative comment is the fireplace that smokes and doesn't smoke well. Agent was also very helpful, friendly and provided good service.

We arrived after the Jacuzzi fire incident so the deck was partially unusable but the stay was still great. The fridge in the one kitchen smelt of fish so we didn't use it. We used the other two main fridges instead.

Wonderful long weekend away.

We really enjoyed our stay at Alambra, and would definitely return or suggest the place to friends. The beds are super comfy, and the rooms are nice and spacious. The kitchen has everything you need, and the two fridges and the dishwasher were a bonus. The large dining room table is great and we spent loads of time around that table eating, chatting and playing games.

Ruim strandhuis met goeie ligging.

Alambra Beach House was 'n baie lekker huis om in te bly. Die kwaliteit van die slaapkamers en kombuis was veral goed. Goeie uitsig, lang aande in die borrelbad en goeie kliëntediens wat om die draai is, maak dit 'n baie aangename huis om in vakansie te hou. Ek dink sekuriteit kan seker 'n bietjie verbeter word met die deure wat nie almal maklik kan sluit nie en die feit dat daar geen heining is nie en enige iemand van die straat af by die erf kan inloop. Ek sal beslis die huis kan aanbeveel aan families met kinders.

Spacious beach house with good location.

Alambra Beach House was a very nice house to stay in. The quality of the bedrooms and kitchen was particularly good. Good view, long evenings in the hot tub and good customer service that is just around the corner, make this a very pleasant home to keep on vacation. I think security could probably be improved a bit with the doors not all locking easily and the fact that there is no fence and anyone can walk into the yard from the street. I would definitely be able to recommend the house to families with children.

A quintessential beach house, a comfy home-from-home with stunning ocean views.

This cleverly designed, two-winged old Beach House is ideal for a large family, or two couples with a bevy of kids. A home-from-home within easy walking distance to the sea. Views are to die for!
