Aangename tyd gehad.

Aangename verblyf. Aangename stil omgewing vir Oktober. Streng geen geraas met streng reëls. Loopafstand van die see. Nie geskik vir persone wat nie trappies kan klim nie. Sal vir seker weer daar bespreek. Dankie.

Pleasant stay. Pleasant quiet environment for October. Strict no noise with strict rules. Walking distance from the sea. Not suitable for persons who cannot climb stairs. Will definitely book there again. Thank you.

Interessante en vreemde verblyf.

Die huis kort bietjie aandag en opgradering. Die huis was naby die strand en in 'n veilige kompleks. Vreeslik baie reëls, posters en stikkers in die huis, voel bietjie geintimideerd en onverwelkomend.

Interesting and strange accommodation.

The house needs some attention and upgrading. The house was close to the beach and in a safe complex. An awful lot of rules, posters and stickers in the house, feeling a bit intimidated and unwelcome.

Dis rêrig 'n baie nice plek, die permanente inwoners rondom jou lyk my hou nie van nuwe mense wat daar kom vakansie hou nie.

Dink as die mense meer vriendelik is - en nie kort-kort kla as jy swem nie, want die inwoners daar soek nie ander mense wat vakansie hou in die swembad nie. Jy voel rêrig onwelkom, ons het voorheen hier al gebly maar, vir seker kry jy maar 'n snaakse vibe van mense af.

Translate to English.

It's really a very nice place, the permanent residents around you don't seem to like new people who come to holiday there.

Think if the people were more friendly - and didn't complain every now and then when you swim, because the residents there don't look for other people vacationing in the pool. You feel quite unwelcome, we have stayed here before but, for sure you just get a funny vibe from people.

Rustig en ontspanne.

Die huisie het alles wat mens nodig het met baie elektriese kombuis toebehore. Binne loopafstand van die see. Groot, oop strand met sandduine soos in die woestyn. Mooi, veilig omheinde kompleks op die rand van die "lagoon".

Die plek word nie vooraf inspekteer nie en die beddegoed na urine geruik. Die stort in bad werk nie, hulle sou nuwe een gebring het tot laaste dag het niks gekom nie.

Foto's bietjie misleidend, plek slaap 6, maar nie groot nie. Geyser was nog af toe ons aankom niemand reggemaak vir ons aankoms nie. Ek sal weer bly maar met kleiner groep. Ek gesien daar is Wifi maar daar was geen.

The place is not pre-inspected and the bedding smells of urine. The shower in bath is not working, they would have brought a new one until last day nothing came.

Photos a bit misleading, place sleeps 6, but not big. Geyser was still down when we arrived no one prepared for our arrival. I would stay again but with a smaller group. I saw there was Wifi but there was none.

Was nie baie aangenaam nie, want die weer was nie lekker en daar is nie 'n dak buite om te kuier by die vuur as dit reën nie.

'n Self-catering moet ook voorsorg maak vir wanneer dit reën sodat gaste steeds buite by 'n vuur kan kuier. Maak dit gerieflik teen alle tye, ons kon nie nie eens buite sit, want die wind was baie sleg.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Wasn't very pleasant because the weather wasn't nice and there is no roof outside to hang out by the fire when it rains.

A self-catering must also make provision for when it rains so that guests can still visit outside by a fire. Make it comfortable at all times, we couldn't even sit outside because the wind was very bad.

Waarde vir geld en ligging perfek!

Claptons 17 is waarlik 'n plek om rustig te kuier om die braaivleisvuur terwyl die kinders onder 'n wakende oog swem in die swembad of kanaal met die see se dreuning in die agtergrond. Jy kan selfs visvang in die kanaal. Met 'n paar tree is jy by die veiligheidshekkie uit en op die strand (let wel nie 'n swemstrand) met 2 restaurante om van te kies. Die eenheid sowel as die kompleks is netjies en silwerskoon. Sal hulle beslis weer besoek.

Value for money and location perfect!

Claptons 17 is truly a place to relax around the barbecue fire while the children swim under a watchful eye in the pool or canal with the roar of the sea in the background. You can even fish in the canal. In a few steps you are out of the security gate and onto the beach (mind you not a swimming beach) with 2 restaurants to choose from. The unit as well as the complex is neat and clean. Will definitely visit them again.

Dit was redelik, maar nie fantasties nie.

Daar was 3 gloeilampe wat geblaas was en die eienaar het verwag dat ek dit self regmaak. Ons het dit toe maar gelos en een kamer het dus geen lig gehad nie. Die waaier se knoppie was stukkend. Die bad se sproeikop pas nie in die stort-eenheid nie en ons kon dus nie in die badkamer stort nie. Die plek behoort ondersoek te word en als reggemaak te word voor nuwe huurders daar in gaan. Die ketel het ook nie gewerk nie, maar daar was gelukkig 'n ekstra ketel bo op die rak in die kombuis. Die eienaar het ook 'n R450.00 skoonmaakfooi geëis waarvan ek nie bewus was nie.

Translate to English.

It was reasonable, but not fantastic.

There were 3 light bulbs that were blown out and the owner expected me to fix it myself. We left it then and one room had no light. The fan's button was broken. The bathtub's nozzle did not fit in the shower unit and so we could not shower in the bathroom. The place should be checked and all fixed before new tenants move in. The kettle didn't work either, but luckily there was an extra kettle on top of the kitchen shelf. The owner also claimed a R450 cleaning fee which I was unaware of.

Rustig.

Is net ongelukkig oor die feit dat ons met aankoms deur Deon Coetzee ingelig is om sleutel op ander perseel in Jeffreysbaai te gaan afhaal en weer te gaan afgee. Voel ook dit is belaglik om R400 te betaal vir skoonmaak na verblyf van 2 dae.

Relaxing.

I am unhappy that on our arrival we were told by Deon Coetzee to pick up the key from another place in Jeffreys Bay and then go and drop it off there again later. I also feel it is absurd to have to pay R400 for a cleaning service after only 2 day's stay.

Dit is 'n baie lekker en goed geleë plekkie. Kindervriendelik. Dis amper my tuiste weg van my huis af. Strand is baie naby en daar is lekker eetplekke by die agterhek. Veilige, skoon plek en ek hou baie van die groot grasperk en die lekker oop swembad sal beslis weer gaan kuier.

Swakste wat ek nog gebly het vir so baie geld.

Die blyplek is vol kennisgewings met reëls. Dit laat jou nie voel of jy rustig kan vakansie hou nie. Dit laat jou eerder voel soos 'n kind op kosskool en nie soos 'n verantwoordelike grootmens nie. Met aankoms was daar geen afstandbeheer vir die TV nie, ons moes die eienaar bel. Die afstandbeheer was by hom. Die geiser was afgeskakel en ons het dit eers agtergekom toe ons die aand wou stort. Hulle laat mens glad nie welkom voel nie. Eienaar kon ons gerus meegedeel het dat ons die geiser met aankoms moet aansit. Die blyplek is 'n dupleks met baie styl trappe na die slaapkamers. Aangesien my skoonmoeder wat 80 jaar oud is, saam was, was dit 'n probleem want sy het met die trappe gesukkel. Sy moes op 'n bitter ongemaklike slaapbank in die sitarea slaap. Die feit dat daar trappe is behoort in die advertensie aangedui te word. Die skoonmaakfooi is ook buitensporig.

Worst I've ever stayed for so much money.

The place of residence is full of notices with rules. It doesn't make you feel like you can have a peaceful vacation. Rather, it makes you feel like a child at boarding school and not like a responsible adult. On arrival there was no remote control for the TV, we had to call the owner. The remote control was with him. The geyser was turned off and we only noticed it when we wanted to take a shower that night. They don't make you feel welcome at all. Owner could have informed us that we should turn on the geyser upon arrival. The accommodation is a duplex with very stylish stairs to the bedrooms. As my mother-in-law who is 80 years old was with me, it was a problem as she struggled with the stairs. She had to sleep on a very uncomfortable sofa bed in the lounge area. The fact that there are stairs should be indicated in the advertisement. The cleaning fee is also exorbitant.
