Uitstekende diens en pragtige verblyf.

Baie netjies, goed toegeruste huis met 'n pragtige see-uitsig. Die gasvrou was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam en het ons baie welkom laat voel.

Heerlik gewees! Gasvrou Jenny is baie hulpvaardig en vriendelik. Sy kry 5 sterre.

Lekker gebly. Ek is in 'n rolstoel en het bietjie gesukkel in die woonstel. Die hele kompleks is ongelukkig baie rolstoelonvriendelik, baie trappe en geen ramps nie. Sal wonderlik wees as daar ook rolstoeltoegang tot die pragtige strand kan wees!

It was great! Hostess Jenny is very helpful and friendly. She gets 5 stars.

Nice stay. I am in a wheelchair and had some difficulty in the apartment. The whole complex is unfortunately very wheelchair-unfriendly, lots of stairs and no ramps. Would be great if there could also be wheelchair access to the beautiful beach!

Baie mooi see uitsig en veilig.

Ons het lekker gebly, dis 'n baie mooi see uitsig, maar vir die prys wat betaal is, moet hulle asb. kyk of alles 100% is voor mense inboek. Die microwave maak nie warm nie, die waaier in die sitkamer werk nie, en so ook op al die foto's wys geen trappe nie. My man is in 'n rolstoel en was baie ongemaklik vir hom.

Very nice sea view and safe.

We had a nice stay, it's a very nice sea view, but for the price paid, they should please. check that everything is 100% before people check in. The microwave does not heat up, the fan in the living room does not work, and likewise in all the photos no stairs are shown. My husband is in a wheelchair and was very uncomfortable for him.

Die see was mooi. Die weer was lekker.

Die plek is op 'n lekker plek geleë en beskik oor die nodige. Met die bespreking is daar gesê daar sal skoonmaakdienste x3 keer wees vir die tydperk van ons verblyf. Dit was ongelukkig onwaar en die skoonmaakdame was slegs 1 keer daar. 'n Duimeldroër is regtig nodig vir die plek aangesien die wasgoed wat gewas word met die wasmasjien te lank vat om droog te word met die weer. Dit beteken mens moet jou wasgoed in vat om gewas te word en raak nogal duur vir 6 mense. Die mense bo ons het vreeslik geraas en die meubels erg deur die nag geskuif. Dit was ook nie lekker as die mense bo ons rook en dit trek in ons eenheid in nie, en as hulle van hul stoep skud onder na ons toe. Die elektrisiteit, as jy 'n skakelaar aansit of die waaier stel, was skrikwekkend. Mens sukkel om die lig aan te skakel of alles glitz. Verder was dit lekker en gemaklik met twee ouer mense en 2 klein kindertjies. Ons was ook nie in kennis gestel waar die swembad was nie en hoe ons toegang daartoe kon kry nie. Sou lekker gewees het om dit met die kinders te kon gebruik.

The sea was beautiful. The weather was nice.

The place is located in a nice place and has the necessary. On booking it was said that there would be cleaning services x3 times for the period of our stay. Unfortunately this was untrue and the cleaning lady was only there 1 time. A thumb dryer is really needed for the place as the clothes washed in the washing machine take too long to dry in the weather. This means you have to take your laundry in to be washed and it gets quite expensive for 6 people. The people above us made a lot of noise and moved the furniture badly during the night. It was also not nice when the people above us smoked and it seeped into our unit, and when they shook from their porch below towards us. The electricity, if you turned on a switch or set the fan, was terrifying. One struggles to turn on the light or everything glitz. Furthermore, it was nice and comfortable with two older people and 2 small children. We were also not informed where the pool was and how we could access it. Would have been nice to be able to use it with the kids.

Pragtige uitsig.

Ons verblyf was heel gemaklik. Die ligging en uitsig van die wooneenheid is onverbeterlik! Die ketel het nie gewerk nie, maar die eienaar het toegesien dat dit onmiddellik vervang word. Soos met enige eiendom langs die see geleë, verg die eenheid 'n bietjie onderhoud op dinge soos kasskaniere en deurslotte.

Beautiful view.

Our stay was very comfortable. The location and view of the residential unit is unbeatable! The boiler did not work, but the owner saw to it that it was replaced immediately. As with any oceanfront property, the unit requires some maintenance on things like cabinet hinges and door locks.

Haal asb. af dat daar 'n tuimeldroër is.

Want daar is nie een nie en dit het baie dinge ongemaklik gemaak omdat ons baie mense is wat swem al die handoeke was elkedag nat! Dit was regtig sleg, want dit was een van die goed wat ons versoek het.

Please fetch down that there is a tumble dryer.

Because there isn't one and it made a lot of things uncomfortable because we are a lot of people who swim all the towels were wet every day! It was really bad because it was one of the things we requested.

We were 5 adults attending a wedding.

We will not book this unit again because of the poor maintenance and if the one of two showers is not working. Poor maintenance. We were locked in the first day. Front door did not open, so we left it open and used the security gate only. The bathroom/toilet door does not close, so could not lock. The bathroom shower in the en-suite cannot be used! We were 5 adults. All lights did not work, so dim. Kitchen plug is faulty. Large cockroaches. Jenny, a pleasant person, was told about the above.

Chakas Cove Seaside Home from Home 's response

Both showers work perfectly. The door lock is also just fine. Unfortunately, 2 bulbs had blown but have now been replaced. The bathroom door is lacking a key, apologies for that.
There are absolutely no cockroaches, possibly 1 flying in but definitely none in the apartment.

Die eienaar het ons persoonlik kom verwelkom, verblyf is sentraal geleë.

Daar is ongelukkig 3 stelle trappe, bietjie gesukkel aangesien my moeder met 'n kierie loop. Die paadjie af strand toe is baie steil, miskien moet daar 'n reling geplaas word. Bekostigbaar en sentraal geleë.

The owner came to welcome us personally, accommodation is centrally located.

Unfortunately there are 3 sets of stairs, a bit of a struggle as my mother walks with a cane. The path down to the beach is very steep, perhaps a railing should be placed. Affordable and centrally located.

Was in Ballito vir 10 dae saam met kinders en kleinkinders.

En het vakansie met 2 dae verleng na kinders en kleinkinders terug huis toe is. Ons het op kort kennisgewing plek gesoek en by Chakas Cove nr 6 gekry. Ongelukkig sterk winde gewaai, was nie op die strand nie, maar het lekker ontspan.

Ideaal vir kinders!

Wonderlike plek met pragtige uitsig! Jenny het ons so vriendelik gehelp! Kan dalk net iewers noem dat daar nie 'n hysbak is nie en heelwat trappe, ons het 'n bejaarde gehad wat moeilik loop wat dinge effens moeiliker gemaak het.

Kuier was kort, weer het nie saamgespeel nie.

Hoofslaapkamer het skuifdeur na buite maar geen veiligheidshek/deur nie. Kan nie snags of selfs bedags oop los nie, dit is in 'n stegie en uit die oog, bietjie onveilig. 'n Tuimeldroër in die eenheid sal 'n bonus wees, met 'n week van reën het niks droog geword nie. Wasmasjien moet gediens of vervang word. Verder baie aangenaam. Dankie.

Visit was short, weather did not cooperate.

Master bedroom has sliding door to outside but no security gate/door. Can't leave open at night or even during the day, it's in an alley and out of sight, a bit unsafe. A tumble dryer in the unit would be a bonus, with a week of rain nothing got dry. Washing machine needs to be serviced or replaced. Also very pleasant. Thank you.

Wonderful view punctuated by dolphins and whales.

This flat has a stunning view and would be a perfect place to visit for a family with young children as the tidal pools below are spectacular and safe for children to swim in. I would, however, never go to a place like this in season as it's very busy. It was disappointing for us to have the neighbour's smoke blowing into our apartment.
