Baie lekker gebly.

Die "agent" wat sleutel moes verskaf ens. was baie behulpsaam en stiptelik. Die cottage is goed toegerus. In vergelyking met ander selfsorg-eenhede tydens ons toer is dit dalk effe duur.

Very nice stay.

The "agent" who had to provide key etc. was very helpful and prompt. The cottage is well equipped. Compared to other self-catering units during our tour, it may be a bit expensive.

Very pleasant stay, Elma was very helpful and the flat met our requirements.

The security gate lock at the kitchen door does not work.

Baie onaangenaam om langs 'n konstruksie site vakansie te hou.

Ek en my man was in Maart vanjaar (2022) met twee weke vakansie in die Tuinroete, van Danabaai tot Stormsrivier. Ons het by vyf verskillende plekke tuisgegaan en by vier van hierdie verblyfplekke was ons verblyf baie aangenaam. Ongelukkig kan ons nie dieselfde sê van ons verblyf by Amicus in Nature Valley nie. In plaas van die rus en vrede in die natuur wat ons te wagte was, was ons verblyf by Amicus langs ‘n konstruksie site. So, in plaas van voëlsang en stilte was ons onderworpe aan die onophoudelike geraas van ‘n gesaag, geboor, gekap en ‘n knaende jackhammer gemeng met die bulderende stemme van die konstruksiewerkers. Die geraas en die konstruksiestof was so erg dat ons verplig was om ons verblyf by Amicus voortydig moes op sê en op eie onkoste ander verblyf gaan soek. Ons besef dat die eienaars van Amicus nie verantwoordelik is vir konstruksiewerk langsaan Amicus nie, maar die ordentilike ding sou gewees het om ons te waarsku dat ons langs ‘n konstruksie site gaan vakansie hou en ons die opsie gegee het om: steeds daar tuis te gegaan of ons geld vir ons teruggegee het indien ons ander verblyf sou verkies.

Very unpleasant to holiday next to a construction site.

My husband and I went on a two-week holiday in March this year (2022) in the Garden Route, from Dana Bay to Storms River. We stayed at five different places and at four of these places our stay was very pleasant. Unfortunately, we can't say the same about our stay at Amicus in Nature Valley. Instead of the peace and quiet in nature that awaited us, our stay at Amicus was next to a construction site. So, instead of birdsong and silence, we were subjected to the non-stop noise of a saw, drilled, chopped and a grinding jackhammer mixed with the booming voices of the construction workers. The noise and the construction dust were so bad that we had to cancel our stay at Amicus prematurely and look for other accommodation at our own expense. We realize that the owners of Amicus are not responsible for construction work next to Amicus, but the decent thing would have been to warn us that we were going to be holidaying next to a construction site and gave us the option to: still stay there or refunded our money if we chose other accommodation.

Dit was soos 'n huis weg van die huis af. Ons het baie welkom gevoel en alles as mooi uitgelê.

Sal net voorstel vir 'n tafeldoek of twee vir die tafels as ons buite braai of eet om die tafels te beskerm.

It was like a home away from home. We felt very welcome and everything was beautifully laid out.

Would only suggest a tablecloth or two for the tables if we are barbecuing or eating outside to protect the tables.

Uiters teleurgesteld. Eenheid nie op standaard nie.

Ek voel die tarief is te hoog vir die eenheid. Donker en koud. Geen ordentlike sitplek nie. Die badkamer is uiters swak. Kyk na die "groud" in die stort en die muf tussen die teels. Ek was grillerig om te stort. Vir die prys swak. Plek kort net n bietjie opgradering en liefde.

Extremely disappointed. Unit not up to standard.

I feel the rate is too high for the unit. Dark and cold. No decent seat. The bathroom is extremely poor. Look at the "groud" in the shower and the mold between the tiles. I was freaking out about taking a shower. For the price poor. Place just needs a little upgrade and love.

Old fashioned holiday accommodation. Practical facility, peaceful neighbourhood. Excellent location.

The flatlet was suitable except it could have been aired and cleaned more thoroughly before we arrived. Otherwise we loved the little garden with happy birdlife. I found much joy in reading a Hardy boys book which I found on the bookshelf.

Verblyf was volgens verwagting. Skoon kamers met die nodige funksionele geriewe.

As gesin van 6 met twee tieners was die 3-slaapkamerverblyf knap maar tog gerieflik genoeg vir aangename verblyf. Eetgerei en potte en panne is egter presies vir 6 mense en daar moet dus na elke maal volledig opgewas word. Slegs 1 stort maar dit is gerieflik en werk vir 'n see-vakansie met die nodige geduld en beplanning. Kuier-area kan doen met 'n braai-area vir vuurmaak (Weber-ketelbraai was wel beskikbaar).

Accommodation was as expected. Clean rooms with the necessary functional facilities.

As a family of 6 with two teenagers, the 3-bedroom accommodation was neat but comfortable enough for a pleasant stay. Cutlery and pots and pans are, however, exactly for 6 people and must therefore be fully washed after each meal. Only 1 shower but it is convenient and works for a seaside holiday with the necessary patience and planning. Hangout area could do with a braai area for making a fire (Weber kettle braai was available).

Lekker huisie vir lekker vakansie.

Oulike blyplek. Goed toegerus. Pasop vir die bobbejane. Die braai-area kort dalk net bietjie skaduwee. Ek is bly dat daar geen TV was nie.

Nice house for a nice vacation.

Cute place to stay. Well equipped. Watch out for the baboons. The braai area may just need some shade. I'm glad there was no TV.

Baie dankie! Ek en my twee susters het heerlik gekuier die drie dae, daarna het ek en my ander suster die oorblywende dae geweldig geniet. Hoop om dalk in die toekoms weer daar te kan spandeer.

Heerlik gekuier, sal graag weer in die toekoms daar wil tuisgaan. Baie dankie.

Thank you very much! My 2 sisters and I had a lovely stay the three days, after that my other sister and I really enjoyed ourselves the rest of the time. Hopefully we could spend some more time there in the future.

Lovely stay, hopefully we could spend some more time there in the future. Thank you very much.

Suited our needs, but dissapointed by the cleanliness; otherwise great spot.

Both dish clothes were dirty, one was very dirty. Some of the pots/pans were dirty. Large cobwebs were visible. We ran out of toilet paper with no replacements evident. A heater would have been very helpful on the cold days. The flat is quite cold generally. There was nobody present on arrival and we spent 15/20 minutes trying to find out how to enter or what to do. The manager did however offer to come and meet us when we eventually made contact. The flat is definitely ideal for its purpose and nicely situated and barring the need for a heater requires no further items. The dirty items did not overshadow the stay as it was very pleasant but it did create disappointment. Amicus staff were very helpful when required and when we phoned.
