Perfekte plekkie vir gesin wegbreek.

Lieflik, veilig en skoon. Ons het 'n heerlike tydjie gehad en ons gasheer het ons so welkom laat voel. Lekker ruim kamers. Ver bo ons verwagting gewees!

'n Wonderlike blaaskans, in 'n lieflike luukse huis, in 'n rustigste omgewing.

Ons het heerlik gebly en lekker ontspan ook, in die luukse, ruim 'kothuis'. Ons kon nie vir enigiets meer gevra het nie, en is aangenaam verras deur die rustigheid en privaatheid van Carnelie. Lekker gebraai en gekuier op die stoepie, en sommer baie lus gehad om langer te bly. Die strand en winkels is naby geleë, en tog het ons kompleet gevoel asof ons op 'n landgoed woon, ver van alles wat raas en pla. Sal definitief terugkeer!

A wonderful break, in a lovely luxury home, in a most peaceful setting.

We had a wonderful stay and also relaxed, in the luxurious, spacious 'cottage'. We couldn't have asked for anything more, and were pleasantly surprised by the tranquility and privacy of Carnelie. We had a nice braai and spent time on the stoep, and really wanted to stay longer. The beach and shops are nearby, and yet we completely felt as if we were living on an estate, far from all the noise and bother. Will definitely return!

Vroeg oggend vars lug in die stilte, geen gedruis nie! Kalm atmosfeer, goed vir die siel!

Absoluut fantasties, dankie.

Dit was die mooiste plekkie waarin ons al gebly het. Dit was asof ons by huis was. Net een aand daar, maar dit was absoluut fantasties. Baie dankie.

Uitstekend. Dit was net een aand maar dit was soos 'n week se vakansie.

Wat 'n aangename verrassing toe ons daar opdaag wat vir ons gewag het. Die gasheer was asof ons mekaar jare al ken. Die gasvryheid wat ons daar ontvang het, was uitstekend. Dit was 'n pragtige huis. Dit lyk splinternuut. Die beddens is definitief nie van die goedkoop soort nie. Dit is van daardie soort wat jy in jou eie slaapkamer wil hê. Ek is so dankbaar ons het op hierdie wonderlike plek afgekom.

Outstanding. It was only one night but it was like a week's vacation.

What a pleasant surprise when we got there that was waiting for us. The host was as if we had known each other for years. The hospitality we received there was excellent. It was a beautiful house. It looks brand new. The beds are definitely not of the cheap kind. It's the kind you want in your own bedroom. I am so thankful we came across this wonderful place.

Great stay with solar power.

The cottage was spacious and clean. Very practical layout. Comfortable with modern finishings. Having solar power was amazing as we were not affected by load shedding at all. WiFi was great. The host was amazing. Will definitely book here again!
