Rustige plaas atmosfeer met lekker kaggel vir die koue aande maak dit 'n lekker wegbreek bestemming.

Quiet farm atmosphere with nice fireplace for the cold evenings makes it a nice getaway destination.
Upon arrival the staff were very friendly and helpful. One immediately feels at home and safe with the open spaces and farm atmosphere. The ample wood for the braai and fireplace was very welcome, and even fire lighters were provided. A bottle of the farm's wine was complimentary and in the fridge. We can highly recommend Black Oystercatcher Cottages.

Rustig en in natuur, maar kort herstelwerk.

Peaceful and in nature, but in need of repairs.
The view is beautiful from the balcony. There are braai facilities and an equipped kitchen. We stayed 4 days, I was able to cycle and walk in nature. We were just not satisfied with the cobwebs in the corners of the windows and under all the furniture and did some cleaning ourselves the first day. The electric frying pan had mold on it (from the moldy kitchen cupboard under the sink) so didn't use it and preferred to cook on the fire. Overall it was nice, but advise that they take better care of repair work and cleaning.

Reception was very poor.
Very poor reception! Reception was very poor. Young man who helped us very unfit and showed no respect towards us as a customer. He spoke English and out of respect I answered him in English even though my first language is Afrikaans. He then replied, just speak Afrikaans because I see you can't speak English. I work every day with clients many of whom are English and although I am Afrikaans, my English is very good. He didn't even bother to introduce himself.

Black Oystercatcher Cottages 's response
Goeiemiddag Attie
Ek vra nederig onverskoning vir u slegte ervaring. Dis eintlik vir my n skok om dit te hoor, want my personeel is altyd oorvriendelik.
Ek sal intussen ondersoek instel wie u gehelp het en seker maak daar is nie weer so 'n geval nie.
Ons wil graag hê dat ons gaste oor en oor moet terugkom en ek voel ook so 'n verwelkoming is onaanvaarbaar. Veral as jy so 'n mooi plek soos Black Oystercatcher besoek.
Baie dankie dat u dit onder my aandag gebring het. Ek hoop dat ons u in die toekoms weer kan verwag om op te maak vir u slegte ervaring.
Vriendelike Groete
Nikki

Here you can relax with ease.
My wife and I walked the Pilgrimage of Hope and slept at Black Oystercatcher Cottages on the 11th night of the walk. We were there a little before check-in time and the staff were welcoming by immediately offering us something ice cold as we had just walked from Elim. We were then able to check in earlier and enjoy the quiet and cool house with all the luxuries and more. Thank you very much for a great time with you!

Not a recommendation.
Our overall feeling was that the 4 cottages are not a priority for Black Oystercatcher. On arrival we were told the keys to the sleeping units were in the doors. Units not up to standard due to smelly and dirty braai area with minimal necessities e.g. proper braai wood. To our surprise, we were also informed that meals are not served after 1600. Security some concern seeing as the main road is only 50 meters from the units with no security in sight. Unfortunately will not use the facility again.

It was fantastic and very peaceful, just what we needed.
It was very nice and we really enjoyed it. The cottages have everything you need and the restaurant is the best. The best food and the friendliest people. Many thanks to Salmon for looking after us so well. We will definitely see Black Oystercatcher Cottages again.

Wou nie by die besige dorpe oor Desembervakansie bly nie en het elke dag Struisbaai toe gery om te swem en kon rustig saans by die kothuise braai en die natuurskoon geniet.

Didn't want to stay in the busy towns over the December holidays and drove to Struisbaai every day to swim and could have a quiet evening barbecue at the cottages and enjoy the scenery.
It has a beautiful view and is very peaceful. There was plenty of wood provided for barbecuing each evening and the unit had everything one could need available. From salad bowls to a vegetable peeler! I would recommend it to anyone looking for peace and quiet. It's close enough to Struisbaai and Bredasdorp to zip around every day and then return to the peace and quiet.
