Rest, rest, rest.

Then the owner contacted us earlier on Friday to let us know that the Cottage was ready for us. When we arrived, everything was sorted. Fridge on, windows open and just the best feeling. We enjoyed every minute of the rest of the weekend. Thank you.

Ons het baie gemaklik gebly. Alles wat nodig is, is voorsien.

Die woonstel is ruim en alles wat nodig is, is beskikbaar. Die omgewing is heerlik stil en die strand was maklik bereikbaar.

Kuier was goed.

Toilet papier kon meer gelos het as een rol per badkamer, omdat die verblyf nie vir so lank was nie en omdat 'n R500.00 skoonmaakfooi gevra word. Fotos moet van hulle webwerf afgehaal word, aangesien daar geen swembad is nie. Voorstel is vir 'n opvouwasgoeddroograkke, omdat dit bietjie gereën het. Nerens is daar plek vir die swemhanddoeke om op te hang nie. Die groot asblik in die kombuis was 'n pluspunt. Verder was die verblyf goed.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Visit was good.

Toilet paper could have left more than one roll per bathroom, because the stay was not for that long and because a R500.00 cleaning fee is asked. Photos must be taken from their website as there is no pool. Suggestion is for a folding laundry drying rack, because it rained a bit. Nowhere is there room for the swimming towels to hang up. The large trash can in the kitchen was a plus. Other than that, the stay was good.

Die verblyf is naby die see, jammer daar was geen see-uitsig nie.

Nee, die verblyf was teleurstellend. Die fotos op die webwerf is misleidend. Dit is glad nie hoe ons die plek voorgestel het nie. Die wag op die erf het Sondag kort-kort kuiergaste ontvang. Elke keer as jy daar is, is daar 'n nuwe gesig op die erf. Dit het ons onveilig laat voel, asook geen privaatheid nie. Die erf en huis kort baie "TLC". Daar is baie potensiaal as dit reg bestuur word. Baie bouval wat onnodig rondlê. Dit is 'n gevaar vir klein kinders.

Translate to English.

The accommodation is close to the sea, sorry there was no sea view.

No, the stay was disappointing. The photos on the website are misleading. This is not at all how we imagined the place. The guard on the yard occasionally received visitors on Sunday. Every time you're there, there's a new face on the lot. It made us feel unsafe, as well as no privacy. The yard and house need a lot of "TLC". There is a lot of potential if managed correctly. A lot of building debris lying around unnecessarily. It is a danger to small children.

Ligging fantasties. Plek het aandag nodig. Tuinwoonstel het nie buite kuierplek nie.

Groter eenhede het lekker buitekuierplek, maar nie die tuinwoonstel nie. Jy kuier onder die karafdak wat jammer is. Geen permanente braai nie, sleep maar die klein braaiertjie waar jy hom wil hê. Plek het 'n fantastiese ligging en uitstekende diens. Maar dit het 'n bietjie opknappingswerk nodig. Die dak het gelek van die baie reën byvoorbeeld. Sal definitef weer gaan, maar moet geen luukshede verwag nie.

Location fantastic. Place needs attention. Garden apartment does not have outdoor space.

Larger units have a nice outdoor space, but not the garden apartment. You hang out under the carafe roof which is a shame. No permanent grilling, just drag the little grill where you want it. Place has a fantastic location and excellent service. But it needs some renovation. The roof leaked from the many rains for example. Would definitely go again but don't expect any luxuries.

Bouwerk langsaan. Voel oor die algemeen nie veilig nie.

Voordeur kan nie oopmaak nie - laat mens benoud voel. Plek is oud maar skoon. Lae trappe tussen vertrekke is toonbrekers.

Black Rock Beach Cottage 's response

Good Day Peter, thank you for the feedback. We do apologise for your bad experience. We do urge guests to keep both gates by the beach closed especially early in the new year as masses of people flock to the beaches. This only happens the day after Christmas and early on in the new year. Being a public beach it is difficult to control this as the beach goers look for shade, grass etc. The gate might have been left open by one of the other guests which resulted in people entering the bottom of the property. Again please accept our apologies.
Kind Regards,
Marc Smit

'n Baie rustige, verfrissende venue wat alle verwagtinge oortref het.

Ons was 'n groep van 7 volwassenes (4 ouers en 3 tieners) en het die groter boonste gedeelte van die eiendom benut. Die baie ruim eenheid was netjies en skoon met ons aankoms. Daar is werklik baie ruim en groot spasie, en ons het heerlik gekuier. Die ruim balkon met see-uitsig was 'n bonus, en ons kon ook die see sien en duidelik hoor vanuit die groot leefarea. Die eenheid is goed toegerus met die nodigste. Ons het tydens ons verblyf baie veilig gevoel met 'n veiligheidswag wat gereeld in die aand aangemeld het. Ander gaste in die ander 2 kleiner eenhede was baie rustig en vriendelik, en daar is genoeg privaatheid vir almal aangesien die erf baie groot is. Daar is ook ruim parkeerplek vir heelwat voertuie. Die groot grasperk bied baie speelplek vir kinders, en die tuinhekkie bied direkte toegang tot 'n pragtige skoon en veilige wyd uitgestrekte strand. Die swemstrand is ongeveer 300 meter vanaf die eiendom en 'n werklike oase langs die strandmeer. Daar is werklik soveel positiewe aspekte dat ons moeilik enige negatiewe kan uitwys. Die badkamer/stortgeriewe in die boonste eenheid is baie knap, en gaste moet die hooflaapkamer se en suite-badkamer gebruik as addisionele gerief. Die tweede slaapkamer is ook baie klein en beknop, en kan moontlik in die somer baie warm wees. In geheel is Black Rock Cottage 'n heerlike rustige vakansiebestemming. Ons sal dit beslis graag weer wil besoek. Die diens van die eienaar Marc en die agent Tracy was besonder vriendelik en professioneel. Dankie julle!

A very peaceful, refreshing venue that exceeded all expectations.

We were a group of 7 adults (4 parents and 3 teenagers) and took advantage of the larger upper part of the property. The very spacious unit was neat and clean upon our arrival. There is really very spacious and big space, and we had a great time. The spacious balcony with sea view was a bonus, and we could also see and hear the sea clearly from the large living area. The unit is well equipped with the essentials. We felt very safe during our stay with a security guard checking in regularly in the evening. Other guests in the other 2 smaller units were very quiet and friendly, and there is enough privacy for everyone as the yard is very large. There is also ample parking for many vehicles. The large lawn provides plenty of space for children to play, and the garden gate provides direct access to a beautiful clean and safe wide expanse of beach. The swimming beach is approximately 300 meters from the property and a real oasis by the lagoon. There are really so many positive aspects that it is difficult to point out any negatives. The bathroom/shower facilities in the upper unit are very nice, and guests should use the master bedroom's en-suite bathroom as an additional convenience. The second bedroom is also very small and cramped, and could potentially be very hot in the summer. All in all, Black Rock Cottage is a delightfully peaceful holiday destination. We would definitely like to visit again. The service from the owner Marc and the agent Tracy was exceptionally friendly and professional. Thank you guys!

Strand toe gaan was heerlik, maar verblyf kort bietjie werk.

Die ligging is uitstekend en die toegang tot die strand was heerlik. Die verblyf was oukei behalwe dat daar nie gesê is dat daar 'n wag op die perseel bly. Die persoon se kamer was direk langs ons braai-area en die persoon het deur ons private kuier-area beweeg. Die tuimeldroër was ook stukkend so ons kon dit nie gebruik nie.

Going to the beach was great, but accommodation needs some work.

The location is excellent and the access to the beach was great. The accommodation was okay except that it was not said that there was a guard staying on the premises. The person's room was directly next to our braai area and the person moved through our private visiting area. The tumble dryer was also broken so we couldn't use it.

Rustig en stil omgewing. Net die plek om te rus.

Hierdie wooneenheid is 'n heerlike wegkomtuiste. Ruim en skoon, hoewel die badkamer baie onprakties is. Dis lekker teen die strand en die grasperk voor die huis is ideaal vir balspeletjies en kuier onder bome. As jy wil kom rus en naby die strand wees, is dit die ideale tuiste.

Dis die plek om te gaan rus en tyd saam jou familie te spandeer.

Die winkels en garage is net ver so sal aanbeveel dat jy jou goed saamvat. Dit is 'n stil strand, daar is baie rotse maar dit pla my nie, ek geniet dit om te hoor hoe naby jy aan strand is en elke brander kan oor breek.

Pragtige area met gerieflike huis.

Ons het die naweek baie geniet. Die verblyf is gerieflik en die diens hulpvaardig. Die enigste eienskap van die huis wat privaatheid beïnvloed, is dat die woning meer as een groep gaste kan akkommodeer. PS: Ek het ook nie reg gelees nie en die R500 skoonmaak-administrasiefooi misgekyk, wat my begroting bietjie gesny het.

Beautiful area with comfortable house.

We really enjoyed the weekend. The accommodation is comfortable and the service helpful. The only property of the house that affects privacy is that the residence can accommodate more than one group of guests. PS: I also didn't read correctly and overlooked the R500 cleaning administration fee, which cut my budget a bit.
