Very nice stay. The shower's drainage just needs checking, but otherwise everything was 100%.

Good value for money, owners can make small changes to improve.
We had a nice stay, there were only little things that bothered us. There were not enough warm blankets. There was a loud water drip in the small bathroom which bothered us at night, and the high chairs on the porch were broken.

View is a bit limited, unit is in 2nd row. Still nice view of the river from the top floor. Very friendly hostess. Unit is comfortable and clean, thank you very much. Clearly a lot of effort has gone into renovations and upgrades, we had a great stay. Thank you.

Therese who received us is very friendly and helpful. She helped at very short notice with accommodation for an additional person who came along. The lodge is very neat and has everything you need. Very close to sea and restaurant. Nice view.

Place was clean, but that's about it.
The television does not work, cupboard doors are hanging, sliding door in the room cannot be opened, the most dangerous of all is the stove. The plates stand in the air of rust, think it is very unsafe. Everything in the cupboards is good. No shower curtain in master bedroom. Really think this owner should be arrested!

Blue Bayou at the Breede River Lodge 's response
Unfortunately with the record rainfall that was experienced in Witsand almost all house roofs leaked. The curtains, towels, and bedding have all been replaced with new as of last Wednesday 8th November, Painting is set to start.
Sorry for the bad experience.

Fortunately, Witsand is a safe place.
The "swing chair" on the porch was a pleasant surprise. It was my favorite place to sit, rock and appreciate the view. Unfortunately, the bedroom and second floor patio door could not close. We had a bit of a struggle to firstly get the bedroom door open and secondly to close it again. The sliding door lock would not turn, so the doors could not close. Apparently new door tracks have been ordered so hopefully they will be repaired soon. Fortunately, Witsand is a safe place.

Was a bit disappointed.
The photos were much nicer than the actual place. Many things need attention such as all the wooden sliding doors could not close, off hinges or so tight we struggled. Bedding in 2 single rooms was old and full of stains. Curtains in master bedroom were rusted and full of dirty spots. Toilets, shower and sinks have not been properly cleaned. The TV was balanced in the living room on a towel and tilted. The fireplace was broken and could not have been used. If I honestly compare the photos with the reality it is a bit misleading especially for the price I paid. The location is very nice and check-in was easy.

It was OK, but not wow.
Having a good bed is super important to me. The bed was hard and the mattress worn. Not good quality. With the price one expects a few bags of coffee, tea, and sugar, and a milkie. It's not a big expense. And a nice bottle of cold water. They can also provide extra toilet paper. The shower was clogged.

Downstairs two bedrooms each with their own bathroom. One has a bath and one a shower. Heaters in rooms, plenty of extra blankets and warm blankets on all the beds. Excellent value for money.

Nice place, but lacks attention.
The stairs are quite problematic, especially if luggage has to be carried up. It was mentioned that there are steep stairs inside the place to the living area. The sliding doors to the outside need attention. Had terrible trouble opening it. The kitchen cabinets by the sink have become wet and cannot be opened or closed easily. Stove plates are rusted. The place needs serious maintenance.

Nice and relaxing. Nice view.
The unit was tidy, with enough warm bedding. The only problems that made it unpleasant was the shower door, it needs to be replaced. In the kitchen by the sink, the wooden countertop is already so damaged from the water that it is constantly dripping onto the floor. Fridge smelled of fish or something unpleasant. The website's advertisement needs to be adjusted, as there is no braai area at the pool.

Very nice, location and view fantastic. Very neat and clean.
However, we were not happy with Terese - I had to call her 3 times to make arrangements about the key. I couldn't get the key until around 14:15 (I pay for accommodation from 14:00) and she couldn't show me around. When we got there, the cleaners were still busy and the bedclothes were still being changed. After they got out they later knocked again and the mop and broom were given to me to keep. She did not tell us that the remote control of the TV in the living room was not working nor that the TV in the bedroom was not working at all. We also only had to notice after dark that the light bulb in the small bathroom didn't work and therefore had to shower in the dark etc. In terms of value for money, after searching a bit further I was able to compare prices for adjoining units for cheaper per night. I was shocked and pretty upset.
