Was lovely and the host was very friendly and helpful.
There were only unwanted guests who made a lot of noise one night throughout the night. At least the host sorted it out after we complained. Rules say no music and noise, and they hung out and drank all night until the next morning, and had guests stick in a van next to us and walk back and forth through our place and tease kids in front of us through the glass door the dogs .

Very pleasant, comfortable and relaxing.
We stayed in Jolly 2 which is very comfortably furnished for 2 people. Everything we needed was there and the two bonuses were that I could pull my vehicle directly in front of Jolly 2's sliding door and that there was also a lovely built-in braai area right by the door. It just made everything so much more convenient. From there we could walk to the sea which is very close but far enough from the public car park that we couldn't be bothered by anyone. In terms of privacy, Jolly 2 completely met our requirements. There are sufficient curtains to draw if one finds it necessary and in terms of safety, Jolly 2 is located in such a way that one does not feel threatened or uncomfortable in any way.

You won't find better value for money in Witsand than at Barnacles. Colin the host was very helpful and friendly. The apartment had everything one could need and the TV with Netflix and YouTube was perfect for keeping our 6 year old busy at night. We were walking distance from the beach as well as a nice restaurant on the sea front. Would definitely recommend Barnacles.

The unit is comfortable and one does not need much more, the TV with Netflix in a pleasant bonus for the little ones. It is also located very close to the beach. If I could make one recommendation it would be that attention should be paid to the fact that the cutlery must be clean. We had to wash some of the cutlery before we could use it, but that's not the end of the world. There is also no tongs, but other than that it was really, really nice. Colin is very pleasant and received us kindly, he also allowed us on the last day to leave later to spend the rest of the day there. I would definitely stay there again.

At first we were only going to get away for 4 days, but we had such a good time that we didn't really want to leave and so the break was extended to a whole week. Colin is the perfect host, friendly and helpful. The highlight was the delicious nutritious soup he treated us to when the power was out and we couldn't cook ourselves. If our health and finances allow it, we will definitely visit Barnacles again.

Location is great and walking distance to the beach.
Barnacles was clean, but the furniture too big for the place, the sofas were broken and worn, bedding old and laundered. The curtains are moldy on the inside and also old and had too much sun. Hopelessly too little freezer space. There is WiFi, but we were told about it by the way a day before we left. Some of the lights did not work. The owner told us how expensive everything was and that he would not replace the shower door because it costs too much money.

Nice for men's weekend - not suitable for family.
The cottage is quite cramped with only 1 bathroom and toilet for 4 people. The DStv gave many problems and we specifically looked for a place with DStv to watch rugby. Parking for car is next to the house without cover. No cupboard to pack away food in kitchen. A few basic items were missing in the kitchen, such as wooden spoon, only 2 steak knives. We had a great time in Witsand, but were definitely not very happy with the accommodation.

Thank you for a fantastic weekend and clean, tidy, practical accommodation in Pansy Shell. Good quality linen and bed in master bedroom. Within 1 minute walk from the beach, located on the top floor, so there are some stairs (for if you have difficulty walking). 2 small apartments on the ground floor are the most adorable places I've ever seen, so cute and small and cozy - ideal for a romantic getaway for two, or a nice relaxing weekend for 2, young and old! The apartments are fully equipped with everything you could need. Colin was very helpful, right next to your flat if you need him - yet you have your own privacy. Pansy Shell does not have outdoor barbecue facilities, but a very nice indoor barbecue, charcoal grill available on request! Collin was so lovely and let us have a BBQ at one of the other apartments on the Friday night! (My husband doesn't understand a charcoal grill.) Any suggestions: future planning - maybe a canopy over Pansy Shell's porch with an outdoor grill, then you're 101% ready for any guests! Thanks Collin, see you again one of these days - we still have to go swimming in the pool next time!

The apartment is very convenient, except for the shower. There needs to be a space for soap dishes and so forth in the shower and the bathroom has a normal window which makes it uncomfortable seeing as how the hallway next to it is a thoroughfare and is open to the house above. The microwave's turntable's glass is broken. The second place was very pleasant. We were upgraded to a bigger unit at the beginning.

Barnacles self-catering unit's location is ideal.
And we planned our getaway accordingly. However, our disappointment was great when, upon arrival, other guests were mistakenly placed in our unit. The situation was unpleasant and the end result was that after more than 3 hours of travel to Witsand we had to drive around for more than an hour while the unit could be sorted out. This put a damper on our getaway and first visit to Witsand.

The place is fantastically set up for 2 people and you don't have to look for anything and nothing is in your way. Clean, tidy warm place and an even warmer and very friendly owner. I will recommend the place to my family and friends anytime! The sea/beach is a stone's throw away. When you stand on that porch, you see the people walking, fishing and playing on the beach. We really enjoyed it. And then Colin, the owner, makes it even more comfortable and enjoyable by chatting with you often and many times giving advice on where to go for the day. Thanks for the reference to entertainment! It was an experience.
