Dit was 'n heerlike ontspanne naweek!

Dit was heerlik. Selfs 'n skottelgoedwasser! Dis letterlik op die see. Met hoogwater kom die water tot teen die muur. Sonsondergang is hemels! Koffie en beskuit op die stoep. "Breathtaking"!

It was a lovely relaxing weekend!

It was delicious. Even a dishwasher! It's literally on the sea. At high tide the water comes up to the wall. Sunset is heavenly! Coffee and biscuits on the porch. "Breathtaking"!

Fantastiese plek.

Die huis se naam moet verander na "Op die see". 'n Beter ligging vir 'n vakansieplek kan daar nie wees nie. Die see is by die voordeur. Goed toegeruste huis wat in al mens se behoeftes voorsien. Al wat nog waarde kan byvoeg, sal 'n afdak wees om onder te parkeer.

Fantastic place.

The house's name should change to "On the sea". There could not be a better location for a vacation spot. The sea is at the front door. Well-equipped house that meets all one's needs. All that could add value would be a canopy to park under.

Wat kan mens sê? As ek begin liries raak gaan en kan ek nie ophou nie - laat ek daarom net sê: die beste en as ek weer Kaap toe kom is daar net een bestemming en veel langer. Baie, baie, baie dankie!

Onverbeterlike ligging en uitsig. Ruim en goed toegerus. Uiters netjies en uitsonderlik skoon. Alles wat mens nodig het, van skottelgoedwasser tot seep; van heerlike stoele tot WiFi; van leesstof tot veilgheid, en, en, en.

Ons kuiertjie By Die See was voorwaar kos vir die siel!

Die ondervinding was baie baie meer as wat ons ooit verwag het, die ligging, die gerieflikheid van die eenheid en die vriendelike ontvangs, asook die uitsig so naby die see was ongelooflik! Ons kon nie vir meer gevra het nie en sal definitief weer daar gaan kuier! Weereens baie dankie vir die heerlike wegbreek!

By Die See se toerusting is van uitstaande gehalte en die smaakvolle en netheid is opvallend, al die ekstra klein items het ons verblyf baie aangenaam gemaak.

Gerieflik met 'n salige uitsig.

Nader aan die see gaan jy nie sommer kry as By Die See nie, en die uitsig is salig. Die keurig versierde eenheid is ruim genoeg vir 'n gesin en toegerus met alles wat 'n vakansie gerieflik maak, en eet- of roomysplekke is naby genoeg om te stap. Dankie Rika, ons het heerlik uitgespan.

Eenvoudig: Wow!

Die beste bestemming ooit! Pragtige uitsig. Rustige omgewing. Alles (en meer) wat nodig is in die woonstel. Mooiste kombuisware en aandag word aan die kleinste "detail" gegee. Mooiste bestemming om jou siel te reinig!

Superb!

Situated with views of the Helderberg Mountains with the beach on your doorstep in a secluded corner of Gordons Bay. Luxury accommodation. Numerous restaurants and small shops within walking distance, easy access to surrounding areas. We could not have asked more of the establishment, everything was laid out which made for such a relaxing and comfortable experience for all. Would highly recommend for a quiet, relaxing holiday.

Amazing ervaring!

Al kon ons nie die weer kies nie was ons verblyf perfek!! Ons is hartlik ontvang en het sommer dadelik tuis gevoel. Wat 'n plesier was dit nie om in 'n pragtige plekkie te bly en te kon rus met niks meer wat ons nodig gehad het nie. Baie dankie julle vir 'n lieflike ervaring!

Beautiful location and welcoming hosts.

A lovely unit with a home away from home feel. We loved the mix of old and new beach front décor. Although the unit caters for 4, there is enough extra cutlery, glasses, mugs etc. so that family and friends can come over for a meal. Beautifully located right on the beach with private access. Safe and secure.

Die ligging is beslis perfek en die woonstel is baie goed toegerus

Nader aan die see kan 'n mens nie kry nie. Die woonstel is baie goed toegerus met alles wat nodig is vir selfsorg. Die enigste moeilike aspek was die trappe wat nogal 'n uitdaging kan wees vir ouerige mense. Maar Rika en Francois, sowel as hulle ouers is verskriklik vriendelik en reageer vinnig op enige navrae.

The location is definitely perfect and the apartment is very well equipped

One cannot get closer to the sea. The apartment is very well equipped with everything needed for self-catering. The only difficult aspect was the stairs which can be quite a challenge for elderly people. But Rika and Francois, as well as their parents, are extremely friendly and respond quickly to any queries.

By die See is a gorgeous, fully equipped cottage. Rika and Francios have thought of everything and then some. It is the perfect getaway if you want to relax, with direct beach access and mountain views from all windows, it really is a little gem. The warm and friendly welcome from the family leading up to and on arrival made us feel at home and really just rounded off the stay for us. We certainly will be back, thank you.
