Value for money for a large group, good location.

Good experience. Well equipped. For summer time I would recommend an aircon gets installed in the living room kitchen area, at least some fans. We were on a business break away and everybody enjoyed it. Rustic, but good value for money. Very close to the ocean, even though you do not have an ocean view. Thank you to the cleaning staff who came in regularly to clean.

Dit was 'n wonderlike ervaring. Ons as familie het dit baie geniet. Die plek is perfek ingerig. Sal dit aanbeveel enige tyd.

Was 'n onvergeetlike naweek en diens was uitstekend wat ons gekry het van die webtuiste tot Buffalo Drift tot die skoonmaker.

Het dit baie geniet om in buitelug te wees en so naby die see.

Baie teleurgesteld oor die plek. Die foto's op die website is baie ver van die werklikheid. Foto's lyk na 'n baie netjiese, idilliese plek. Definitief nie die geld se waarde nie. Beligting swak, veral op stoep. Kamervenster maak nie behoorlik toe nie. Jy lê saans dan lyk dit asof vensters oop is met die gevolg dat beddegoed nat voel. Badkamers in 'n haglike toestand. Toiletbakke kan nie eens behoorlik toemaak nie. As jy stort is die hele badkamer nat. Kombuis kan toegerus word met 'n beter stoof en yskaste veral omdat dit so baie mense kan akkommodeer. Ons het ook 'n slang in een van die kamers gekry. Website sê dis rustic, maar daar is 'n verskil tussen rustic en oud! Update asb. foto's op for website na hoe die plek huidiglik lyk.

Really enjoyed being outdoors and so close to the sea.

Very disappointed with the place. The photos on the website are very far from reality. Photos look like a very neat, idyllic place. Definitely not the money's worth. Poor lighting, especially on the porch. Room window does not close properly. You lie down at night and it seems as if the windows are open with the result that the bedding feels wet. Bathrooms in terrible condition. Toilet bowls can't even close properly. When you shower, the whole bathroom is wet. Kitchen can be equipped with a better stove and refrigerators especially because it can accommodate so many people. We also found a snake in one of the rooms. Website says it's rustic, but there is a difference between rustic and old! Please update photos on for website to what the place looks like now.

Thank you for your review and for sharing feedback on your stay Joanne.

I am glad that you enjoyed your time being outdoors and that you loved the location of the house with it being so near to the ocean. With the house being so close to nature we can sometimes have visitors, although we have had far more sightings of tortoises than anything else. Milky the caretaker is on-site and his number is shared with guests to assist with any queries or concerns during their stay.

I apologize that you didn't find the house to your standards. Regarding your comments about the windows and bathroom sinks not closing as well as other issues, we will definitely look into this and really appreciate the feedback.

With regards to Fridge space, we do have 4 fridges, 2 standard fridge/freezers in the kitchen area, as well as an under-sink fridge below the workspace in the kitchen and a bar fridge and separate deep freeze in the lounge, I do apologize if you didn't find this to be enough space for your group's needs.

Guests feedback is always appreciated so thank you.

Kind regards
Kate Hawkins

Lekker plek om memories te maak saam met vriende.

Perfekte wegbreekplekkie waar groot groep saam kan kuier en nie in mekaar se spasie is nie. Sal vir seker weer gaan.

Nice place to make memories with friends.

Perfect getaway spot where a large group can hang out together and not be in each other's space. Will go again for sure.

Great place for a large group of friends to get away for the weekend, lots of space & daily cleaning service included is amazing.

Great place to get away with friends or family. Right on the beach and close to restaurants and shops. Has a daily cleaning service included which makes the world of difference. Lots of fridge space too. Gets very cold at night in the winter time. Extra blankets & heaters will be needed! Some of the rooms had great heaters and others not so much. Bring an extra blanket. Overall, value for money would be better if towels, some bathroom amenities, extra blankets & better heaters were included.

Thanks Lauren, glad you had a good time!
We will definitely look into adding extra blankets during winter.
Hope to see you again.
Thanks

Gemaklik.

Baie gemaklike kuier- en slaapplek vir groot groep vriende en jy hoef nie te voel dat kinders iets gaan breek of banke gaan vuilmaak nie!

Comfortable.

Very comfortable stay and sleeps a large group of friends and you don't have to feel that the children will break something.

Asemrowend.

Ek sal Captains Cabin aanbeveel vir enige groep vriende of familie vir 'n ongelooflike naweek. Ek en 11 vriende het daar gekuier vir die naweek en dit was onvergeetlik - die plek en die ligging is wonderlik. Ons gaan dit beslis gou weer doen.

Baie ontspanne!

Perfekte plek vir baie mense. Twee van die warmwatersilinders was koud en ons moes koud stort. Van die goed wat in die huis sou wees soos hout en lappe was nie daar nie. Nadat ons paar keer vir lappe gevra het, het ons dit nooit gekry nie. Plek was ook nie baie skoon nie. Verder was alles goed en dit was perfek gewees vir 'n familienaweek.

Very relaxed!

Perfect place for many people. Two of the hot water cylinders were cold and we had to take a cold shower. Some of the things that would be in the house such as wood and cloths were not there. After asking for rags several times, we never got them. Place was not very clean either. Other than that, everything was good and it had been perfect for a family weekend.
