Little touches could have gone a long way.

Firstly, the owner tried to convince us that we had booked the cottage as I did change my booking on the website, but selected the main house when paying. He told us that "usually when it is two people they are automatically put in the cottage" , that after a really bad week did not sit well with us and was not the welcome we were expecting. I was literally ready to sleep in the cottage for the night and go back home the next day. After checking he said he was under correction and that we had booked the main house and it would be ready in 1/2 an hour, which it was. Rated 1 for safety for the following reason: We had booked a long weekend during stage 4 loadshedding. I asked in advance whether they had an inverter for tv and use of my laptop for work. The answer was "Yes, just come and relax." There was only 1 plug for the tv which was connected to the owner's home's inverter. We had to ask for a portable light as there were only a couple of candles and it is a large space. We asked for something to boil water on and the owner boiled water and gave it to us in a flask! No gas supplied to cook on during 11:00-1:30 and 19:00-21:30. I guess we were expected to just make do before and after the time. I suggest the owners make the place more loadshedding friendly, this is South Africa and it happens all the time. If one is not up to having guests stay in one's home it is perhaps not the industry to be in anymore. I have worked in the hospitality industry for years and have come to expect the same standard as I would offer to my clients in order for them to feel welcome and make their stay as comfortable as possible.

Cape Cod Accommodation 's response

We apologize for the misunderstanding after the guest changed the booking at short notice, and only on arrival did they request two separate bedrooms due to the partner's sleep problem.
Our guest called and asked if we had an inverter for TV and Wi-Fi in the event of load shedding. I confirmed that we did. During the stay, our guests had full uninterrupted service for both TV and Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, the guest was not satisfied with the fact that one inverter serviced the property and was not situated in their unit.
We are happy that our guest recognizes that we are in South Africa and load shedding is a fact of life for us all. My wife and I have run Cape Cod Accommodation for the past15 years, and go out of our way to satisfy our guests and we are sorry to hear that they arrived unhappy at our venue. We do sincerely hope the guests find comfort in their future travels.

Lovely!

It was a very pleasant experience. We enjoyed the accommodation. The house was lovely. We have three children under the age of 5, and the house had more than enough space for all of us. We could see the ocean from almost every room. Marvyn and Leona are lovely hosts and really went out of their way for us. Thank you very much. Will recommend the house over and over to anyone.

Die kothuis is goed ingerig en mooi. Pragtige stoep om te braai en te sit en die see-uitsig te geniet. Netjies en skoon - als wat mens voor kan vra.

Ongemaklik, teleurstellend.

Ongelukkig het ek aangedring dat ons saam met vriende hier bly vir die jaarlikse wegkomkans. Dit was baie ongemaklik om twee kinders stil te hou aangesien die eienaars in 'n vertrek onder die huis bly, wat nog meer met hout vloere. Die beddegoed was vuil in die gastekamers, die lakens het muf op gehad. Vir die prys wat gevra word verwag ek skoon beddegoed en 'n aangename ruskans. Sal nie weer hier bly nie.

Uncomfortable, disappointing.

Unfortunately, I insisted that we stay here with friends for the annual getaway. It was very uncomfortable to keep two children quiet as the owners stayed in a room under the house, even more with wooden floors. The bedding was dirty in the guest rooms, the sheets had mould on it. For the price, I expect clean bedding and a pleasant break. Will not stay here again.

We Regret that you were unhappy with the fact that we live in an apartment on the property. This has been the situation for the past 11 years of running Cape Cod Self Catering Accommodation and has not been an issue with any previous guests.
We pride ourselves on the quality, cleanliness and clean bedding was put on the beds.

Asemrowende uitsig en verblyf!

Wat 'n aangename verrassing met ons aankoms by Cape Cod. Bo en behalwe die gasvrye ontvangs van Mervyn en sy vrou, het die huis en omgewing ons selfs meer gebied as wat ons verwag het. Huis is lekker ruim, huislik en pragtig gemeubileer! See-uitsig van verskeie vertrekke, is onbeskryflik mooi! Baie mooi herinneringe is geskep by Cape Cod! Kan verblyf by Cape Cod, definitief hoogs aanbeveel! Dankie, ons het die 4 dae regtig baie geniet!

Breathtaking view and accommodation!

What a pleasant surprise upon our arrival at Cape Cod. On top of the hospitable welcome from Mervyn and his wife, the house and surroundings offered us even more than we expected. House is nice and spacious, homely and beautifully furnished! Sea view from several rooms is indescribably beautiful! Many beautiful memories were created at Cape Cod! Can definitely recommend staying at Cape Cod! Thank you, we really enjoyed the 4 days!

Accommodation totally unacceptable for 3 adults.

We felt extremely let down by the owner who had assured me that the cottage/flatlet has housed three adults “many times” before, that the couch was large enough for a tall adult woman to sleep on. Not only is this absolutely not so, but the only bathroom is an en-suite (through the cupboard doors!) off the main bedroom. We were thrown into a complete panic on arrival. Fortunately there was plenty of other accommodation available - what a pity he hadn’t tried to be genuinely helpful.

Cape Cod Accommodation 's response

Cape Cod offered Lyn the apartment and stated that this unit, as per our web page, is for two adults but the third person could sleep on the large couch at no extra charge if they so wished. At no time was it ever implied that hosting a third person in the apartment was common practice. Alternative accommodation was secured and offered to the guest who declined the offer and stayed on at Cape Cod for two nights at the original rate for two guests.
We regret any inconvenience caused.

Letterlik huis weg van die huis - nommerpas vir ons gesin se behoeftes.

Dit is nie aldag dat verblyf so gerieflik en goed toegerus is vir 'n groot gesin met klein kindertjes die. Dit is skoon, netjes, perfek geleë, kindervriendelik en veilig. Ons sal beslis weer hiernatoe toe kom, hierdie keer net met ouma en oupa ook - die ruimte en hoeveelheid slaapplek was 'n groot verrassing, asook die feit dat die pragtige, volledig toegeruste kothuis verdere opsies bied.

Literally home away from home - tailored to our family's needs.

It is not everyday that accommodation is so comfortable and well-equipped for a large family with small children. It is clean, tidy, perfectly located, child-friendly and safe. We will definitely come here again, this time with grandmother and grandpa too - the space and amount of sleeping space was a big surprise as well as the fact that the beautiful fully equipped cottage offers further options.

Die vierde slaapkamer moet geadverteer word as 'n slaapplek vir 'n kind.

Alles was puik en Mervyn was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die huis is baie goed toegerus, netjies, skoon en die beddegoed word gereeld vervang. Daar is voldoende spasie en parkering vir twee gesinne. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel.
