Amazing.

The location is perfect for when you just want to get away and unwind. Although the area is remote, you don't feel excluded from society. Checkers and Pick n Pay deliver in the area, so you'll never run out of food or beverages.

Fabulous beach stay in a beautiful location!

We couldn't have asked for more from our host and had an absuloutely perfect weekend in Scarborough. The place is well located, spotless and has everything you need.

Heaven on earth.

This house is perfect for anyone wanting to relax and to not get into a car. Easy walk to the beach. Beds for 10 people. Everything one could possibly want in terms of amenities. Two lovely patio areas. Beautiful outside boma area. Honestly, we could not fault this property - it was perfect.

Lekker gekuier ten spyte die inbraak en die brand wat ons laat ontruim het.

Ons het lekker gebly, maar nadat ons 'n inbraak gehad het, was ons maar bietjie ongemaklik oor die veiligheid van die area. Die kinders was maar baie skrikkerig. Ons het heelwat skade gely. Die kommunikasie met die eienaar/agent kan baie verbeter, veral as daar probleme is. Kon haar nie in die hande kry toe ons in die aand 'n kragprobleem gehad het nie. Verkeerde sleutels is ook vir ons gegee met aankoms. Die dame wat gegee is vir wasgoed en stryk benodig baie opleiding, want sy weet nie hoe om klere op te vou nie.

Had a great time despite the break-in and the fire that forced us to evacuate.

We had a nice stay, but after having a break-in, we were a little uneasy about the safety of the area. The children were very scary. We suffered a lot of damage. The communication with the owner/agent could improve a lot, especially if there are problems. Couldn't get hold of her when we had a power problem in the evening. We were also given wrong keys on arrival. The lady given to washing and ironing needs a lot of training because she doesn't know how to fold clothes.

Hi Willie,

In response to your review (it's interesting how my overall rating over 7 years is 5/5), I have read your comments and feel it's only fair to put things into context for future guests. We need to clarify a few details which you left out:

In 35 years, we have not had a single break in. Unfortunately, you did not mention in your review that you left the downstairs windows open when you went out. You were informed on arrival to close and lock all doors and windows when you left the premises, but it seems this advice was not heeded. As a result, I cannot take responsibility for the lack of security at the house. To assist you, I spent a considerable amount of time connecting with the police station to ask for their assistance, as you didn't want to go to the station yourself. I realise that this occurrence is not something you would anticipate during your holiday.

Regarding the fire, it was on the mountain, not at the house - an event completely beyond my control and thus has no relevance to your stay at the house. For the safety of the entire neighbourhood, residents had to leave their homes for a few hours, after which they could return safely.

About the electricity, an unprecedented incident took place at midnight due to a faulty side light, something that has never happened in 35 years. I acted promptly and had it sorted the very next morning, alongside replacing the side lamp. You also had full backup power to compensate for load-shedding. The key replacement issue in the morning was an honest mistake from my housekeeper, which we rectified immediately.

With regard to the laundry, expecting one person to wash, fold and iron eight loads of laundry in an afternoon is quite challenging. Nevertheless, I absorbed the cost of additional help to complete your request. I was in constant communication with you throughout your stay, and have taken your feedback into consideration. We strive to treat our staff with respect, so any form of negativity towards them from guests is disheartening.

In terms of additional requests from you: a fan was provided, DSTV was installed, and extra cleaning services were arranged upon your request. All these additional services were provided at my own expense. I explained the situation regarding our regular cleaning lady being on leave and arranged a replacement accordingly. We provide assistance with every request and pride ourselves on our commitment to guest satisfaction.

Yes, there were a few unexpected incidents, out of my control, barring one. However, we stepped up each time and provided assistance where we could. I regret that you did not fully enjoy your stay, though some responsibility also falls on the guests.

Stilte vir die siel.

Die huis is perfek geleë vir 'n rustige seewegbreek. Scarborough is 'n lieflike dorpie. Die huis het alles in wat mens aan kan dink. Alles wat skoon en netjies en die kombuis is perfek toegerus.

Hi Marisca,
Thank you for your feedback. I was just wondering what you were not happy about with customer service.

Thank you.
