Comfortable and cosy.

Golfing tour party of 9 adults. Enough rooms and beds for us all. Home is spacious and plenty of room to move around. Walking distance to Spar, Tops, pharmacy and various restaurants. Walking distance to the beach. Our early mornings were well enjoyed on the veranda with a Tequila Sunrise in one hand, eyes focused on the horizon for the break of a new dawn and every day (August) we were fortunate enough to spot whales swimming about. Backup systems in place and a cosy corner to watch the Springboks maul the Aussies.

Just okay, we made our own fun.

Old furniture, they need to upgrade even though they prefer the antique look. They really need to upgrade their furniture and improve on maintaining their cleanliness. We were only offered 1 toilet paper in each toilet for the entire 3-night stay and were told to go buy our own. Other than that, we had a great stay.

B'Lenghi Beach House 's response

Thank you for the review, Pontsho!

Yes, our property is styled with vintage furniture, which has all been re-upholstered and updated to suit the rest of the decor. This may not be to everyone's taste, but it is as shown on all our photos for the listing.

Again, I apologise for the toilet paper that our cleaning lady did not place out for you. We spoke to you about this when you notified us. We have since spoken to the cleaning lady about it as part of her ongoing training. You mentioned in your private message to us about dust in certain areas. We have also addressed this with the cleaner.

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay overall. You mentioned this to us privately on your day of departure. I would like to share a copy of your comments here: "We had a beautiful stay overall and the house accommodated us all."

Overall the stay was nice, the host was very accommodating, but we hard a bad experience with the cleaning manager.

We requested to arrive 2 hours before check-in to set up a nice dinner table and a few items as we were celebrating a very special occasion, my parent in-laws "50th Anniversary". There weren’t non-paying guests joining us, just the 10 guests that were booked for the home. Somehow it seems the permission granted wasn’t filtered to the cleaning manager. She was irate when she saw us at the property. Initially, we planned with the owner to come through at 1200hrs but due to late guests we understood and only came through at 1315hrs. Upon arrival, I was yelled at, and she made me feel as if we weren’t paying customers and the house was loaned to us. I tried to explain and show the manager messages between myself and the host, but she refused to look at them. She went to the extent to send the host pics and telling him we are having a party. I think a party would involve drinks, loud music, lots of people etc., but that wasn’t the case. She even lied to the host saying we started occupying the other areas of the house before our check-in time, we didn’t even have luggage. All our stuff was coming through with my husband as he was working that morning. Our idea of a celebration was a pretty setup with a small backdrop and a table set for 10. If we wanted to party, we would have booked a proper venue and invited numerous guests. We didn’t invite guests or have music at all (for the entire weekend) and nor do we drink alcohol! The cleaning lady took 1 set of the studio keys with her (by mistake - maybe) which delayed us getting our luggage to the room. She only dropped it off around 6 pm. Staff like this often chase away customers. I wouldn’t bother booking this place again!

Dear Fatima,

Thank you for you compliment and also mentioning the stay overall was good.

I do however feel obliged to comment on the inaccuracies of your feedback regarding the party setup mentioned in your review. As requested prior to arrival we agreed to provide you with access to the dining area. In your review, you falsely accuse our cleaning manager of lying about using areas other than what was agreed as well as understating the extend of actions upon arrival. I need remind you that on arrival, you proceeded to completely rearrange and move all the furniture in the lounge area in order to set up and decorate an extended dining table despite this being completely against the house rules. As you've also mentioned in your feedback, we informed you that the cleaners were dealing with a very challenging check out and were under a lot of pressure to return the property to the high cleanliness standards expected. You can see how it was unfair to add the further stress to the cleaning team with the upheaval of trying to clean and reset the house whilst also having to accommodate your plans of rearranging the set lay-out.

I would like to add however, upon check out you and the rest of the members in you group left the house in a very clean and orderly fashion which was much appreciated and demonstrates great respect on you behalf. Thank you.

Kind regards,
Ian

Beautiful, loved everything about B'Lenghi Beach House.

My family that consist of adult children, a teenager and a 5-year-old all loved B'Lenghi Beach House. The short walk to the beach was awesome and the beach is not overcrowded. Definitely returning soon. The downside was an Uber network that doesn't reach the house, but a short walk to the second street or so gets you connected.

Was great! So mooi huis met beste uitsig.

Die enigste negatief wat ons ervaar het was die "tavern" tipe kuierplek wat onder die huis geleë is. Dan speel hulle heavy metal musiek tot laat in die aand. Van Vrydag deur tot in die week. Dan kan mens nie op die heerlike stoep sit en kuier nie want jy moet heeltyd na 'n geskree luister. Verder is dit die mooiste huis met die mooiste dekor en die aircons was soo lekker!

Was great! Beautiful house with beautiful views.

The only negative we experienced was the tavern type bar beneath the house. They play heavy metal music til late at night. From Friday through til the week. Then you can't relax on the beautiful patio as you have to listen to screaming all the time. Apart from that it's the most beautiful house with the prettiest decor, and the aircon was wonderful!

Heerlike, goed toegeruste huis met pragtige uitsig oor die see.

Die huis is baie ruim, het heerlike kuier-areas en is goed toegerus met alles wat 'n mens nodig het. Dis stapafstand van die see en naaste winkels. Met 'n onverwagte bonus van 'n skoonmaakdiens elke dag. Ons kon heerlik ontspan en sou graag nog langer wou bly.

Wonderful, well equipped house with a wonderful sea view.

The house is very spacious with wonderful areas for socialising. It is equipped with everything you could possibly need and it is walking distance from the sea and the closest shops. It also has the added bonus of a daily cleaning service. We could relax and would have liked to stay longer.

Pragtig, gemaklik, sentraal en 'n wonderlike plek! Vir vriende, gesinne of families is dit perfek.

Wonderlike ervaring by B'Lenghi, nie net pragtig en goed ingerig nie, maar baie goed geleë en uitmuntende verblyf. Was 'n heerlike week en Ian was so 'n goeie gasheer - ons seuntjie het siek geword in hierdie tyd en was gehospitaliseer en Ian het tot die verblyf vir 'n ekstra aand verniet aangebied asook die uitkloktyd vir ons aangeskuif. Hy's 'n wonderlike, gasvrye en vriendelike gasheer.

Wonderful experience at B'Lenghi, not only beautiful and well appointed, but very well located and excellent accommodation. Was a lovely week and Ian was such a good host - our little boy fell ill during this time and was hospitalized and Ian offered to stay for an extra night for free as well as move up the check out time for us. He's a wonderful, hospitable and friendly host.

Wonderlike blyplek met asemrowende uitsig.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, die plek was skoon, die elektriese toebehore was modern, die dekor smaakvol, alles wat jy nodig het en meer. Ons het die meeste tyd op die stoep ontspan met die wonderlike uitsig. Die bestuur se diens was baie goed en vriendelik.
