Cape St Francis Resort
Review Summary
Anonymous Guest - Jul 2023

Comfortable, well equipped just think it might be a little overpriced.
The resort itself is quite busy, lots of traffic and can't just let children walk around alone. Cute little place just think the price for the unit is a bit too expensive.

Very nice "setup". Close to the sea and has a holiday feel.
The top floor and the bathroom roof don't go all the way to the ceiling, so it's a bit "awkward", but otherwise everything is very nice clean and well equipped.

Overnight accommodation.
We were looking for overnight accommodation and decided on St Francis. St Francis is beautiful and the location is perfect. Unfortunately, the unit we were given was incredibly dirty and not sanitized. So I can't give any stars for cleanliness. I could not bathe the children as the bath's enamel was peeling off. The cobwebs and dust accumulated in every nook and cranny. The roof in one room was leaking terribly after all the rain throughout the night and the next morning it was pouring in properly. I would definitely go to St Francis again, but not stay in one of the units again. The fact that we were allowed to enter the unit without being thoroughly cleaned or disinfected with the Covid pandemic is terrifying.

We spent 8 days at Cape St Francis Resort and had a great time resting and relaxing. The facilities were clean, tidy and well maintained.
If I can suggest something: remove the plug from the bath, because if it is there people will use the bath and not save water. Try to make a stand for prams, because sometimes 3 of the prams park next to each other and it takes the place of 2 vehicles.

Good day Rudolph,
Thanks for reviewing your stay with us, your input is most valued. We generally had wi-fi issues in the greater St Francis area this season so I must apologize but there was very little that we could do.
Joe Fish and Full Stop Cafe , our restaurants have very strong hot spots for those frustrating times.

Beautiful place to stay and safe. Because we were there mid-week, it was very quiet.
We had a great stay and the apartment met all our needs. What really messed up was that DSTV channel 201 was advertised as available, but channel 202 only for sports was available. On arrival there was a notice (only at the restaurant's entrance) that the restaurant (Joe Fish) was not open to guests as it was being used (for 2 days!) for a function. Immediately, our convenience of the on-site restaurant was taken away, as was the use of that pool as well as the bar facilities. There was no breakfast room available for the two days, everything was taken away without announcement and/or rate reduction.

Good Afternoon Jakkie,
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our resort.
I am sorry you were disappointed that you could not enjoy Joefish Restaurant for the full duration of your stay. I hope you managed to enjoy our other restaurant full stop and a swimming pool next to your unit.
Your feedback is valuable to us and we will try our best to make sure all our customers are happy.

The resort is very beautiful with lots to do in and around the area.
The house was nice and sleeping space was enough, but the house is not at all suitable for 8 people in terms of space in the kitchen and living area, especially with small children when the weather is bad. The reception there is very bad. For people who want to cook, the kitchen is more of a kitchenette with limited cooking facilities and you cannot swim at the swimming beach because of rip currents.

There is a swimming beach on the right of the Resort beach entrance. This is where there are life gaurds and demarcated swimming areas. Rip currents are real along our coastlines and are particularly strong on new and full moons, so one has to be extra cautious.

Nice close to the beach and yet peaceful.
We only stayed one night and decided that next time we will visit longer. The resort is quite densely populated but out of season it is not overly busy. It was nice to walk through the resort and follow the path to the beach. The unit we were booked into was well appointed with a nice large bathroom. Only had a problem using the kettle in the kitchen as I couldn't locate a power plug nearby. Had to plug the boiler near the balcony. There was bottled water for us which we really appreciated.

Nice and tidy, but sharing a house with strangers.
Perhaps it can only be clearly stated in advance that this accommodation is in one large house, which you share with strangers. So the room right next to you in the house is also available to others. You also share a kitchen and living room, as well as grass and swimming pool. Good for families but not for romantic getaways.

Had a wonderful stay. Quiet and very safe. Children really enjoyed the pool and beach. Things that bothered were few but if I can suggest something is that they put blinds or curtains in front of the small windows. The sun rises very early and rushes you out of bed early. Braai facilities can also improve. For such a lovely place, I don't want to barbecue on the ground. The location is wonderfully quiet. Really enjoyed it!

We had a wonderful stay with all the necessary facilities. Thank you
Our stay at CSF Resort was wonderful and the setting is beautiful. I think that they can pay attention to the sofa bed that was in our 'little house'. Furthermore, I would also like to advise them to save water and energy by putting a note in the bathroom, as in other holiday places and hotels, that if you want to wash the towels, you must throw them in the bath. They replaced our 5 towels every day which is 'nice' but unnecessary. In the 10 days, they e.g. 50 towels just from our wash and tumble dry instead of e.g. 10 if they did replace it every 5 days. It can save water and for their soap, labor and electricity. Furthermore, Lekke slaap's WEB HOME is a wonderful consumer friendly web home - thank you very much!
