Safe, spacious, affordable, clean and close to the beach.

The apartment is amazing and perfect. It ticked all the boxes. Safe, spacious, affordable, clean and close to the beach. There were ample parking spaces on-site. The security was friendly. The booking agent's customer service was 5-star.

Baie lekker kuier.

Baie goeie ligging. Baie skoon. Vinnige loop afstand na hoofstrand. Sal aanbeveel dat WiFi geïnstalleer sal word. Vat baie lank om die deposito van R terug te betaal.

Very nice visit.

Very good location. Very clean. Quick walking distance to main beach. Would recommend that WiFi be installed. Takes a very long time to refund the deposit of R.

Om soggens wakker te word en die son oor die see te sien opkom, is onbeskryflik.

Asemrowende uitsig en vriendelike personeel.

View was good but the service was bad.

There was no toilet paper in the apartment. Not enough plastic bins in the house, only one plastic bin for the whole weekend, and we were expected to clean the apartment by ourselves. Very bad service, and no reception.

Balooga Unit C 's response

Unfortunately, this is not a hotel or resort service, it is a self-catering apartment; as such, there is no reception. The accommodation that was reserved was self-catering, and you were provided with all the relevant information prior to arriving. We provide guests with a roll of toilet paper per bathroom on arrival as well as a black bag, but do inform guests that thereafter they need to cater for themselves. This was also addressed with you whilst you were in occupation of the property.

Loved the location, the view was amazing. Your place is clean and safe.

Security check at the gate great. The place is well taken care of. The fact that you also provide a safe place to braai meat. Those are good enough reason to bring my family with next time.

Amazing

I loved the check in/out process which was very quick. Very secure place which is close to the beach. Waking up to the sound of the sea from the main bedroom was a cherry on top. Very clean and well kept. I loved the pool in the premises as well, very clean. Overall experience was nothing but amazing.

Was so nice to stay.

It was nice to stay at Balooga Unit C. I am disappointed about my refundable which I am still waiting for. I am very disappointed and am tired of calling them about this issue.

Balooga Unit C 's response

We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and sorry to hear you are disappointed. However, firstly, please read your documentation, it clearly states that the breakage deposit is refundable within 30 working days, we are still within the 30 days window. However, your breakage deposit has been waiting to be refunded for a while now, but we are unable to do so, as our communication with you requesting this was not been complied with. In order to refund you, we require your banking details. To date, we have not received this information.

They don't pay back security deposit.

They keep your breakage deposit and said we broke key locker and bunk bed ladder which was not true, if they really wanted to give our money they were supposed to send someone to check everything before we left, it took them 2 weeks before telling us we're not gonna get the money back, TV and radio wasn't working apparently we were supposed to hire the decoder we had to go buy speaker for R500 because we were hoping we get our money and this is a second time something like this happens.

Baie lekker, skoon verblyf.

Ek stel voor dat daar miskien moet gekyk word na glasbakke wat jy in die oond kan gebruik en miskien 'n elektriese braaipan.

Very nice, clean stay.

I suggest that maybe looking at glass bowls that you can use in the oven and maybe an electric frying pan.

The place was great, but the bunk beds are not suitable for sleeping. Disappointed with the bunk beds.

The chalet is excellent, 4 star accommodation at most. The negative part of my trip was that one of my family members during his deep sleep, the bottom bunk bed broke causing an unpleasant fall. That was the only thing that was negative about the Balooga experience.

Unit could do with an upgrade.

Ceiling fan in master bedroom didn't work and the one in children's room makes so much noise that you can't use it. The gas braai needs "Lava Rocks", so our braai nights were also gone. The fridge doesn't get cold either, meat in the freezer section was just very cold but not frozen after a week.

It was a very pleasant stay.

Beautiful sea view and close to the beach. Unit was well laid out except for the one bedroom with 4 bunk beds for adults. It should in fact be a 6 sleeper with 2 proper beds replacing 4 bunk beds in that bedroom. Safety was an issue as one the folding glass doors came off the hinges. Fortunately we were closeby to help it hurting the person who the door fell on. The lady at the emergency number was not keen to provide assistance as it was on a Sunday. We had to convince her to send someone. The emergency maintenance person was not available to fix the door on that day as he did not have the correct rivet sizes.

Balooga Unit C 's response

Dear Surend, thank you for your review. As per the description and photographs on this unit, we do inform our guests that this is a 3 bedroom unit which sleeps 8 people, main bedroom comprises a queen-size bed and the second bedroom has a double bed, the third bedroom comprises 2 bunk beds. In terms of the stacker door, this incident occurred on a Wednesday night and not a Sunday night as stated in the review. The lady who handled the call was merely trying to advise that, due to the nature of the incident, we would try to find a service provider that was willing to go out at that time of night, which we did find and who did attend to the call immediately. They managed to secure the door and explained that someone would attend to it first thing in the morning. However, when the maintenance team arrived the next day the door was laying on the ground and they repaired it that same day.
