Bretton Beach Crest Holiday Cottages 's response
Hi Charne, thanks so much for taking the time to comment on your stay. I'm pleased you enjoyed it. I am rather concerned about the rating of 1 for security. It's a pity you didn't advise us upon your departure, as we need to know these things. Each cottage is equipped with monitored security linked to Multi Security armed response and it also goes off in our home so we are immediately notified if it went off, just like with the panic button. There are also security cameras and beams at the entrance which notify us (even when the buck sets it off) and we've not had any security issues in many years. Nowhere is completely safe these days but we do make a concerted effort, so I'm just sorry you felt insecure. Looking forward to welcoming you back again in the not too distant future.

Great getaway, fantastic location and friendly owners.
We had a wonderful time relaxing in unit number 1. Lovely, peaceful and still unspoiled environment with a sea view and within walking distance of the beach. Accommodation was comfortable and very neat and clean with a lovely modern shower, small but well-functioning kitchen and nice porch and braai area. The host and his wife were friendly and helpful and were able to provide us with very good information about "things to do" in the area. Thank you very much, you will definitely see us again.

Hi Ian, thank you for the review and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and had a good rest. I'm a bit concerned about your rating for customer service, as I must have interacted with you at least 4 times during your stay. I would be interested to know why you've given this rating. As for the WiFi, I checked for a solid week that it was working at your cottage, and it still is. If you were encountering issues, I wish you had told me when you were here so that I could have rectified the situation. It's too late once you have left.

Dit klink asof u die twee dae in April maand by ons geniet het. Ons WiFi is nie die sterkste nie, dit hang af van die versorger of gebied, maar die uitsig was mooi en "gasvrou praat te veel" noem ons "vriendelikheid". Die huisie en TV is altyd voor en na verblyf deur ek of my vrou deurgegaan om te sorg dat alles reg is. As die TV iewerskielik nie werk nie, kan dit enige iets wees, tog kommunikeer dadelik met ons, drie weke na die tyd is nikswerd, ander mense is klaar in en uit daai huisie sonder probleme. Skottelgoed was is nie 'n vereiste by selfsorg akkommodasie nie, vir die meeste mense is dit normaal so. Nogtans, dankie vir die terugvoer. Onthou, 'your pleasure is our passion'.

Eish! Mrs Selani. Sorry that you did not find our cottages up to your liking and standard. I can assure you that our maintenance is up to date, it would be interesting to know what was not working. Perhaps you are referring to the cottages not being new and modern, you should have viewed our webpage before booking. We advertise as simply furnished, comfortable beach cottages. Sadly, you did not give us the opportunity to discuss your grievances with you whilst you were here, despite my wife chatting to you on the beach one day. Trust you had a good trip home.

Family break away.
We enjoyed our stay at Bretton Beach Crest, but the hostess can change her attitude and be much more friendly just because I sent her a message via you to say what is mentioned on the list of items that are in the cottage should be, but which was not in our cottage, almost immediately I get a very inappropriate phone call from the hostess telling me to check if I didn't send her the message via you that just me and her and you can see, can't remove because it makes her look bad and puts the place in a bad light and that she is penalized by you for what I mentioned that was not in our cottage. It then clearly says let us know immediately if anything mentioned on the list is not in the units then you get such an inappropriate call and it was late at night and I can't access my emails on my mobile no, she won't tell me I couldn't have emailed or WhatsApp her directly, but I didn't even have her mobile number until she called me. With such an attitude don't talk about unnecessary and she will tell me that they haven't had time to update the list of items that must be in the cottages, that's not my problem, they need to be in their place as soon as possible get standard and height. Urgent instant maintenance work is needed everywhere and for the price per night not worth it at all. The photos shown are very old and no longer relevant at all, need to be updated as soon as possible. The unit we got was number 1, specifically asked for unit with better WiFi reception, but was still very bad, most of the time didn't work or pick up signal and was very slow. I also mentioned to the hostess who was so inept that the shower didn't have a curtain in front then she said it was no longer needed because they are replacing the units shower over bath with just a shower with a very thin glass in front and then there is a gap between the wall and the shower, so when you have finished showering then you have to use a mop, because the whole floor is then under water as it leaks out at the side where the openings are.

You were supposed to come to relax and enjoy your weekend with your parents, not add to your anxiety attacks. You had previously stayed with us and then went somewhere else the following time as we were fully booked so you know our setting and conditions. You had sent a message on the booking platform enquiry page at 8pm on the Friday you arrived, which the booking agents can read if not public, was how I explained it. I came first thing on Saturday morning to attend to your grievances. One being no fan which I said we remove in winter when not needed and instead add the extra blankets on each bed and then change again for summer. The missing pegs were in fact under the sink in a plastic container which I showed you. In No 1 we have removed the bath and replaced it with a shower to see if it is more popular which has a SABS standard glass frame and now does not require a shower curtain, which was previously used for the shower over the bath. If something is missing or no longer works, please come and tell us so we can remedy the situation immediately, or even when you leave.
Constructive criticism is welcome should we have missed something as we, as resident owners, check the units ourselves after being cleaned and before guests arrival but one can miss something from time to time.
You did not notice the brand-new Volpes quilts on the lounge beds – you were the first to use them.

Comfortable, clean, safe and walking distance from the beach.
We really enjoyed our visit. Children could just walk down the few steps to the clean and safe beach. Everything needed is there. Not even load shedding was a challenge, with temporary lighting set up for that. Gas stove and gas geyser there was always hot water and could cook at any time. Grill was cleaned early every morning even before we got up. We definitely recommend Bretten Beach Crest to anyone, young or old.

My husband and I enjoyed every moment at Bretton Beach Crest. Our unit was very tidy and had everything we needed. The location is fantastic and we could quickly walk to the beach whenever we wanted. The beach was very quiet and some days it felt like we were there alone. The braai area was nicely placed so that we could appreciate the sea view morning, afternoon and evening. I would definitely recommend Bretton Beach Creast Holiday Cottages if you want to get away and live in silence.

It was one of the nicest breakout sessions. The units take you back and make you remember the good times when kids could still play and weren't trapped behind technology. A beautiful beach that is quiet for miles. Dolphins coming to say hello in the afternoon, not too far from the rocks. The units have DStv, should you perhaps bring your mother-in-law or you and the boys want to watch rugby, but I can honestly say that with the natural beauty and the seclusion, you will want to appreciate nature and relax more than you will want to touch technology. I recommend the place to anyone who wants to escape the hustle and bustle and see if your children still know what frisbee, beach cricket and touchies are. The place is really a forest jewel by the sea. Remember your wood and fire lighters and you will have an unforgettable holiday.

The accommodation itself - everything you need is provided, and Colette and Lee took it upon themselves to provide us with clean bedding as we were there for a few days.

What a neat place, in a very nice area. The owners are very hospitable - do ask about places to visit in the area. It will make your stay much more worthwhile. Each unit has its unique setting, surrounded by vegetation that makes it private. The units are clean and tidy, and although close to town, it feels like one is deep in nature. It is meters from the sea, with a safe tidal pool and miles of vast private beach to explore. I would definitely recommend it for couples or families wanting to get away from the busy city life, and just looking for a bit of silence. Although not five-star, all the basics are there, and one needs nothing more. If you are a nature lover, this is the place to visit. I will definitely go back again.

Die huisie kan regtig opgeknap word, selfs net 'n bietjie aandag aan die dekor sal ver gaan - daardie gordyne en beddegoed lyk ongeveer 30 jaar oud en daar is niks smaakvol oor die binnekant nie. Teen die prys wat ons betaal het, was ons 'n bietjie teleurgesteld, ons het gevoel dat ons net vir die uitsig betaal. Ten minste was die beddens gemaklik en die gashere was vriendelik en vinnig om te reageer op probleme met die badkamer se lig en gas wat klaar word.

It was very dirty and full of dust, bathroom very disgusting, parking is horrible, bedding is just as horrible. Had a very bad night. Booked for 2 nights. But after 1 day immediately looked for another place to sleep for the evening.

Quiet accommodation at an affordable price - definitely worth a try!
Being able to stay so close to the beach was just fantastic! We really enjoyed the silence, the sound of the waves, the green forests and the birdsong. The accommodation was simple, but neat and everything we needed was there. We were only there for a short time and will stay longer next time, value for money, nice and private. Thank you also for allowing us to take our small dog with us on request. We can definitely recommend Bretton Beach Crest Holiday Cottages - the security made us feel safe too. Thanks for a nice place to sleep! The many steps ensured that we could get in some good exercises.

Sea view limited at number 1. The microwave had a bit of trouble working! The facility is neat and well appointed. Nice steep walk to the sea, but very nice beach to walk along. Just a pity the poachers eradicate all sea life there by e.o. taking out all that is undersized. Steep driveway to cottage to drive out. Braai area could perhaps be more protected from annoying wind from the sea. Otherwise great stay!

Very disappointing.
I stayed in number 6. At no point are you told that there is only breakwater, so you can't drink it. Your drinking water is in a plastic bowl that you scoop out to drink. The rest is in an asbestos tank, poor quality, water was brown in colour. The toilet system's trade was not working properly. The TV is so small and even if the sound is set to maximum (from TV and DSTV remote, you can't hear anything. The DSTV channels you are told you can watch, if I remember correctly, most of them didn't exist (not part of the package). The pots and pans were still burnt dirty from the previous person's food. There are no sharp knives, so cutting meat is a nightmare. The beds are already hollowed out, so your body is just sore the next day. The cupboards have no doors, just old curtains in front of them which you then open and close. The kitchen sink stopper doesn't work, water keeps coming out slowly when you wash dishes. The driveway to the cottage is terrible style, so suggest you on reverse. The mop in the kitchen was awful, so cleaning floors with it is a "no no"! The furniture is very "outdated", so be prepared for that. The sea is close and if you only walking on the beach you can relax.To sum up, very very disappointing!

We were very disappointed to read your review and comments and regret that you obviously did not enjoy your stay. As resident owners, we wish you had come and discussed your grievances with us, even upon departure. We personally check for cleanliness, no-one is perfect and I must apologize for the outside of the pots being stained. Miscommunication with the cleaner I'm afraid. Most definitely no food inside. The hospitality quality bed and base sets in the main bedroom are only a year old, the 2 in the lounge are 3 years old. Constructive criticism is appreciated and always helpful. Thanks for your feedback.

It was a nice break with a good view of the sea.
The stay is a bit far from the normal activities, but it was still very nice. The view and location overlooking the sea is very pleasant. The accommodation is passable, but the furniture is not the best and the double bed in the "cottage" was already very hollow. The bedding is also not really guest house quality, but at least it was clean. Overall it was a relatively cheap break and can be recommended, provided you are prepared to accept that it is not a guest house but a family holiday spot.

Baie dankie vir u opmerkings en ek is bly dat u, u verblyf by ons geniet het. Ek is jammer dat u gedink het dat ons 'n gastehuis is. Ons adverteer op ons webblad dat ons familie selfsorg kothuise is, so dit is 'n bietjie onbillik om van ons gastehuis gehalte akkommodasie te verwag.
Pryse buite seisoen vir net 2 persone is ook goedkoper as skoolvakansie tydperke, wanneer u gebly het.

We will recommend Bretton Beach anytime. The unit has everything you need like a kitchen, rooms and bathrooms. The patio with a sea view is unbeatable. A surprise was that each unit is connected to an alarm with a security service. Bretton Beach is ideal for a family with children. It is very safe and 2 minutes' walk from the beach, away from the main beach. The business part of the town is also conveniently closeby. Colin and Lee are fantastic hosts and makes it all very easy. For those who value privacy, a sea view, comfort and quiet, look no further.

Rustige stil atmosfeer, net wat mens nodig het om "af te skakel"!

Peaceful atmosphere, just what one needs to switch off!
Certainly not the most modern accommodation that one can find, but it is neat, clean and with all of the amenities that one would need to break away from the daily activities for a couple of days. I will definitely do it again!
