Cockleshell Beach House

Perfect and relaxing.

The stay was excellent. Loved the environment, house, and tranquility. The host and hostess were brilliant, very accommodating and went out of their way to make sure our stay was comfortable. Will definitely be coming back.

Birthday weekend to remember.

Lovely location, hop, skip and a jump from Cape Town.

Pragtige omgewing en baie rustig.

Pragtige huis met alles wat jy nodig het in 'n pragtige omgewing. Sal graag weer kom kuier.

Beautiful, peaceful!

See stars.

Relaxing and enjoyable.

Loved that each bedroom is en-suite. Bring all you need in terms of ice and food. No nearby shop to pop into.

Beautiful house in pristine fynbos landscape with a lovely sea view.

We had a family reunion at Cockleshell House - 8 people staying over and more visiting for lunch/dinners. The house held us all comfortably. At one stage, we were 12 people for Sunday lunch and it still didn't feel overcrowded. There was enough crockery, cutlery and glasses for everyone. The weather was atrocious, but the wood-burning stove kept us warm. We drove out to enjoy olive, beer and wine tasting in the area. When it wasn't raining, we went for long walks amongst the fynbos. We had a little buck nibbling on leaves in front of the house and a flock of Franklins coming to look for food on the veranda. It was the perfect place to host our family gathering and make wonderful memories. Would highly recommend.

Beste plek om 2024 te begin.

Ja, die plek was goed geleë en 'n lekker plek om te ontspan.

Highly recommended.

Fully equipped house, perfect for a weekend getaway.

Wonderlike huis!

Pragtige see-uitsig en vakansiehuis, volledig toegerus vir 8 mense. Daar is battery-stelsel wat TV en ligte aanhou gedurende loadshedding, en die en suite-kamers is 'n bonus. Let wel 2 kamers is op tweede verdieping en een het net 'n bad, maar dit was vir ons geen probleem nie. Sal beslis weer hier boek!

It was very peaceful and close to the beach.

The house was neat and clean and had everything that we needed. The plus for us was that there was no load shedding so we could watch our sports programmes.

Rus en vrede met 'n pragtige uitsig!

Indien jy jou batterye wil herlaai deur ure na die mooiste sonsondergang te staar, staproetes aan te durf of bloot net die mooi seelewe en ander kreature te aanskou, sal ek hierdie bestemming aanbeveel. Jy sal nie spyt wees nie!

One of the best places I have ever stayed at. Greatest host and safe. So clean and so close to the beach. Will go back as soon as I get the chance.

Clean, close to the beach, great view, and is safe.

Rus vir jou siel en stilte.

Lieflike huis en ligging. Naby aan Kaapstad.

Gerieflike huis, pragtige omgewing.

Die huis is toegerus met al die geriewe wat mens kan nodig kry, baie netjies en stapafstand van die strand af. Ons het heerlik gekuier op die stoep. Dit kan aanbeveel word vir almal wat 'n behoefte het aan 'n wegbreek in die natuur.

Wonderlike belewenis.

Ons het 'n besondere familienaweek gehad met die mooiste herinneringe. Liewe hemel, die natuur en uitsigte is asemrowend en sag op die oog. Mens kuier heerlik op die stoep. Die huis is ruim en baie gemaklik, bring net kos en jy kuier sommer lekker. Baie dankie julle. Baie dankie Martin.

Rustig.

Dis ń juweel in ons Weskus. Huisie is pragtig en het alles wat jy nodig het. Dis ń plek waar jy jouself weer kan vind. Die sonsopkoms en sonsondergang was iets om te beleef.

Beautiful and peaceful.

As many people have said, you do need to bring absolutely everything (even toilet paper and soap) since there are no nearby shops, and there's a lovely indoor fireplace (kaggel) so remember to bring wood for that if it's cold! But the house is beautiful, with a fully equipped kitchen, lovely bedrooms (each with private bathroom) and plenty of space. The reserve is stunning and very quiet with a wonderful beach just a few minutes walk away. Martin is the perfect host, very nice and helpful. We will definitely be back for another holiday!

Excellent spot for a weekend away.

This is our third stay here - love that their are en-suite bathrooms for each room. Location is perfect. Just a great short getaway from the city - peaceful and quiet. A good addition would be a filter on the kitchen tap for drinking water as we had to go out to buy filtered water for drinking.

Wonderlike plek in 'n pragtige natuurreservaat saam met familie.

Ons vakansie hier was heerlik. Dit is 'n pragtige huis in 'n pragtige bestemming. Goed toegerus en naby aan Kaapstad.

Fantasties en asemrowend.

Ons het ons kuiertjie verskriklik geniet, dit was net te kort. Sal weer bespreek.

Heerlike huis!

Heerlike huis met baie vriendelike gasheer. Die gasheer het 'n draai kom maak om seker te maak ons benodig nie enigiets nie. Die huis is so mooi skoon, heerlike strand tema en mooiste uitsig.

Lekker gekuier met die familie.

Huis is baie gerieflik en goed toegerus. Die see-uitsig is 'n bonus.

Baie gerieflik en goed toegerus

Baie skoon en netjies. Die mense is vriendelik en dit was aangenaam om van hierdie verblyf gebruik te maak.

What a beautiful setting!

We cannot wait to stay here again, the view and positioning were perfect. Our kids had an absolute ball being so close to the beach. The house was more than we expected.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location.

Very neat house in a great location in Grotto Bay. Very peaceful and relaxing. We took a few strolls on the beach and around the estate, which was great. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, which allowed for some personal space, and always a plus to have a dishwasher. You do have to take a lot of your own things with you, like wood, firelighters and matches, basic condiments, tea and coffee, etc.

Ongelooflike plek!

Die uitsig is asemrowend. En die huis baie goed toegerus. Sal dit beslis weer oorweeg.

Dit was 'n heerlike wegbreek van ons normale roetine, lekker gekuier saam met familie!

Grotto se asemrowende natuurskoon en Cockleshell se wonderlike ligging sal ons altyd bybly. Die huis is goed toegerus en silwerskoon, sal defnitief weer hier besoek aflê en dit aanbeveel vir vriende.

Great views. Very clean, neat and tidy.

Our car was unfortunately not licensed and they would not let us in the gate to even drop our stuff off at the house. We had a 5 year old and an 8 month old baby with us. We were not advised this before we arrived. Apparently this is a new thing and was only passed the day before we arrived. I still don't understand what our vehicle licence has to do with the stay. The owner did honestly try everything to get us in but they were not budging. Maybe they need to mention that to the next guests.

Rustig en mooi.

Ons het dit vreeslik geniet.

Wonderlike vankansiehuis

Ons was verskriklik vriendelik ontvang. Almal in Grotto Bay is baie vriendelik.

Great stay. Awesome location. Will definitely be back.

I would recommend ceiling fans / mounted fans in the rooms for summer and maybe softer pillows. Otherwise can not fault the house at all, we had an awesome time.

Perfekte wegbreek uit die stad.

Cockleshell Beach House was 'n ongelooflike ondervinding. Ons het onmiddellik ontspan en gevoel of ons in die hartjie van die natuur was. Ons kom definitief weer.

Pragtige plek, mooiste ligging.

Baie dankie dat ons daar kon bly. Wil net vra vir 'n spieël in die kamers, baie moeilik om lang hare droog te blaas sonder 'n spieël. Verder was alles wonderlik.

Pragtig mooi en skoon!

Ons sal beslis weer gaan!

Salig!

Ons almal (4 oues en 4 jonges), het die naweek ongelooflik geniet. So 'n mooi, goed toegeruste en baie gerieflike huis. Alles silwerskoon. Al 4 kamers het 'n see-uitsig en eie badkamers ─ wat 'n bonus! Die omgewing is salig, veilig en die mooiste natuurskoon. Baie dankie Martin vir die vriendelike en maklike inboek. Ons sal graag weer hier wil bly.

Heerlike familie-verblyf.

Ligging, spasie, check-in en check-out. Geen sout en peper en slegs een swartsak.

Fantastic place.

Close to Cape Town. Safe, clean, comfortable for group with each room having en-suite. Will go back there any time.

Fantasties wegbreek naweek met heerlike huis.

Dit was 'n heerlike wegbreek naweek. Omring deur die see en fynbos, lekker wandelpaaie in 'n baie veilige omgewing. Die huis is goed toegerus met 'n skottelgoedwasser as bonus. Onthou net om hout saam te neem. Ons wil beslis weer gaan kuier.

Pragtige plek. Baie baie mooi.

Hierdie pragtige strandhuis was soveel mooier as wat ons verwag het. Die kaggel in die tuiskamer het die hele huis opgewarm en alles was perfek.

Onge-flippen-looflik!

Dit was fantasties. Die huis, ligging, diens, alles het ons verwagtinge oortref. Martin is so behulpsaam, vriendelik en het ons dadelik welkom laat voel. Die huis is pragtig en het alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Daai stoep, daai hangbanke, daai uitsig is wow. Ons sal vir seker weer gaan!

Spectacular and an amazing view.

Definitely have to go back.

Awesome, peaceful holiday with the best sea view.

Best place to stay even during cold days as ithas an amazing fireplace that heats up the whole house and giving comfort indeed throughout. Most definitely a place to revisit again.

Puik.

Heerlik ontspan in 'n rustige atmosfeer.

Asemrowend!

Baie mooi plek, met genoeg spasie vir 8 volwassenes. Mooi strand en mooi uitsig.

Baie lekke!

Baie netjies en goed geleë.

Ons het heerlik gerus!

Dankie vir die heerlike kuier! Ons sal beslis weer kom!
