Top notch location for a quiet romantic getaway.

The units are beautiful, the area is peaceful and quiet. The hosts are as friendly as can be; even their dogs and cats are welcoming.

Perfect intimate stay, on a budget!

On arrival we were greeted by the friendly host, and after a tour of our own place, Cottage A, we were immediately shown the communal areas. Wood and firelighter were also offered. The hot tub, electric blanket, fireplaces, and hot water from the taps kept us nice and warm from the cold temperatures. Let me not even begin to express how 'lekker' the shower is. Everything was clean and extremely safe. We could even watch the Bokke play while braaing, as the TV is able to rotate, whether in the bedroom, living room, or outside. There are shopping malls and stores 12 minutes away, where we could buy all our goodies we forgot. Will definitely return! Highly recommend to anyone interested.

Ons het dit gelove!

Ons het heerlik gebly, en die hot tub en privaatheid is 'n bonus! Die kombuis is goed toegerus en ons het die honde baie geniet. De Ware Jacob is 'n moet-besoek. Ons is baie lief vir die Weskus, dit doen nie siel altyd goed!

Tranquility, relaxed and romantic.

Absolutely lovely stay. The tranquility and ambiance are breathtaking. My partner and I really loved the quietness and seclusion of the cottages to celebrate his birthday. The hosts were readily available to assist with any of our needs, and the hot tub was just the extra touch of romance. It was beautiful to relax under the stars and take in the beauty of it all. I would recommend this place anytime for a couple looking for a quick getaway.

Just what we wanted for this trip, relaxing, cosy and private. Great birdlife. Close to everything we wanted to do. Swimming pool, although shared, was great and we didn't see anyone at all. This unit provided everything we needed, and the personal touches like a rose in the bathroom were appreciated.

Relaxing and peaceful - perfect for the summer!

The Garden cottage at De Ware Jacob is unique and delightful. Private and idyllic. The hot tub is amazing and the bed is very comfy! The double shower is also superb. There is no covering on the hot tubs, which makes a stay in winter a bit risky. The e-bike option was a fantastic activity to do! I saw the whole town and bays.

Perfekte wegbreek.

Baie goed ingerig met alles wat nodig is. Perfek vir n spesiale wegbreek met 'hot tub'. As gevolg van reënerige weer kon ons dit ongelukkig net Vrydag gebruik. Sou voorstel dat dit beskud word vir deurlopende gebruik (slegs voorstel - was perfek om wel te kon gebruik). Kaggel het verder die meerderheid van tyd gebrand vir perfekte atmosfeer.

Perfect getaway.

Very well furnished with everything needed. Perfect for a special getaway with a hot tub. Unfortunately due to rainy weather we could only use it on Friday. Would suggest rocking it for continuous use (suggestion only - was perfect to be able to use). Fireplace was also burning most of the time for perfect atmosphere.

We had a lovely time. The garden cottage is beautiful and cosy. Kitchen and toilet are separate from the cottage, didn't mind that but the kitchen is a bit cramped for 2 but was well equipped. Love the option of indoor and outdoor fireplace which accommodates all weather types. Chris and Tarryn were great hosts. Will definitely be back to try the other cottages.

Perfekte area, maklik bekombaar, privaat en word sterk aanbeveel.

De Ware Jakob was die perfekte plek vir ons naweek weg. Ons was daar vir die Oppiwa fees en was die ideale plek vir kuier, rustig wees en net om die area lekker te kon geniet. Ruim kamers met pragtige afwerkings, heerlike kuierarea by die kamers, asook by die publieke swemarea. Klein, intiem en ongelooflik mooi. Al kretiek is hulle adres lees Vredenburg, so mens is bietjie onder die indruk dat hulle nie direk geleë is in Jacobsbaai nie.

Perfect area, easily accessible, private and highly recommended.

De Ware Jakob was the perfect place for our weekend away. We were there for the Oppiwa festival and it was the ideal place to hang out, relax and just enjoy the area. Spacious rooms with beautiful finishes, lovely sitting area in the rooms, as well as in the public swimming area. Small, intimate and incredibly beautiful. Although their address is critical, it reads Vredenburg, so one is a bit under the impression that they are not located directly in Jacobsbaai.

We were looking for a quiet, romantic, relaxing place with privacy to celebrate our anniversary. We were welcomed with a cute heart made of petals on the bed, smelling beautifully in Cottage b. Definitely value for money, lovely hot tub and has everything you need including loadshedding lights. Hosts very helpful. Not far from the beach, and we were literally the only ones on the beach, bliss. A truly enjoyable stay, will definitely be back!

Most romantic place ever! Beautiful. Quiet. Private. Piece of paradise.

We absolutely loved our stay and thoroughly enjoyed the braai area and hot tub. It could be a bit more private and enclosed. But other than that it was perfect.

Wifi not available in your private unit. Very uncomfortable to walk to another place and sit there and work.

Although the weather did not cooperate, our visit was still wonderful.

The place is beautifully and comfortably furnished. Private and clean and romantic. The geyser's hot water pump broke but the owners went out of their way to accommodate us. They gave us access to another unit that was empty, to take a shower. They immediately accommodated every request and we had a great time relaxing. The gardens are beautiful and the fireplace worked well for the cold days. I only wish the hot bath was already running when we got there because it took almost 4 hours before it was hot. The fridge is still not on either.

Ons wou 'n bietjie wegbreek van die stad se geraas en net as 'n paartjie kwaliteit-tyd saam spandeer. De Ware Jacob was die perfékte keuse. Vanaf ons die plekkie bespreek het, was als aan ons gekommunikeer en hulp is deurlopend aangebied. De Ware Jacob het glád nie terleurgestel nie. Ons het heerlik ontspan en beslis lekker gerus!. Ek sal hierdie pragplek vir énigiemand aanbeveel!

As a nice relaxing weekend with no disturbance. Just what we needed to get away from the world.

Very nice place to relax and unwind with your partner. Very quiet and private. Just what we needed. The animals are also very friendly. Location not that great if you looking for activities in and around the area. But this is not what we were looking for. For us it was about getting that peace and quiet, as well as alone time that we needed. Would definitely go again.

Ongelooflik!

Ons was baie beïndruk met De Ware Jacob. Die verblyf is top-klas en die dorpie iets besonders. Werklik 'n plek om te ontspan en te ontsnap van die besige lewe daar buite. Ons kon regtig nie fout vind met iets nie en was so vriendelik onvang. Beslis 'n 10/10 vir ons! Een iets wat ek dink bruikbaar kan wees is dalk WiFi by die huisies.

Perfect.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary. We were welcomed with the greatest hospitality and the owners of this place are so friendly they really made us feel at home. We were suppose to stay for two night but the jacuzzi was out of order. They offered us an extra nights stay for free just to accommodate us to use the Jacuzzi. On the morning we had to leave they even offered us to book out at 12:00 and not a 10:00 as normally. I would recommend De Ware Jacob to anyone who really wants a nice quiet peaceful stay in the safest environment. The cottages has everything you need you literally only need to take your luggage and food. We had the best time. Thank you so much.

Weskus hospitaliteit en natuurskoon op sy beste.

De Ware Jacob is beslis die plek as jy luuksheid in die Weskus wil beleef. Die eenheid (kothuis D) was goed toegerus en ruim. Ons kon vooraf ys en hout bestel, wat reeds in die kothuis geplaas was met ons aankoms. Dit is lekker privaat en die houtvuur warmbad was 'n lafenis dag en nag, afkoel bedags en saans lekker warm water. Ons sal beslis weer gaan.

West Coast hospitality and scenery at its finest.

De Ware Jacob is definitely the place if you want to experience luxury on the West Coast. The unit (cottage D) was well equipped and spacious. We were able to pre-order ice and wood, which were already placed in the cottage upon our arrival. It is nice and private and the wood-fired hot tub was a treat day and night, cooling during the day and nice hot water at night. We will definitely go again.

From the moment we arrived we were welcomed and greeted by one of the owners / host and he made us immediately feel welcome and at home. We really enjoyed and appreciated the quietness, the beautiful fynbos and the smell of the ocean in the morning and off course the lovely hot tub. Thank you Chris and your lovely wife for allowing us to share your your beautiful Gem and giving us an unforgettable experience and beautiful memories, just wished we could stay a bit longer.

Rustig, mooi omgewing en in al ons behoeftes is voorsien.

Die aanwysings na ligging was net bietjie verwarrend. i.p.v. net aan te dui dat dit in die hoofstraat is, is die adres aangegee as in Tertiusstraat. 'n Groter naambord by die ingang is ook aan te beveel.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Quiet, beautiful surroundings and all our needs were met.

The directions to location were just a bit confusing. instead of only indicating that it is on the main street, the address is given as Tertius Street. A larger name board at the entrance is also recommended.

Alles wat jy nodig het om te ontspan.

Net die plek om lekker te ontspan saam jou geliefde. Naby genoeg aan Vredenburg om vinnig die nodig te koop en ver genoeg om nie die stadsgeraas te hoor nie. Love die diere wat jou omring.

Awesome, lovely and very peaceful.

I would definitely go back, it was our first time in Jacobsbaai, but it was worth every penny. Even loadshedding didn't affect our visit. I'll recommend De Ware Jacob to any couple, looking for a little break, it's very peaceful and quiet. The Jacuzzi is lovely, just make sure you buy enough fire wood.

'n Onvergeetlike fantastiese ontspannings tyd in 'n omgewing wat privaatheid bied. Ware rus vir die liggaam en siel.

Uitsonderlike verblyf in 'n vriendelike omgewing waar die mense baie hulpvaardig is. Die verblyf wat ons gekry het en die fotos het ooreen gestem dit was waarlik 'n aangename verassing. Die gasvryheid en vriendelikheid van die mense was waarlik gewaardeer. Die omgewing en uitleg van die verskillende eenhede was van so 'n aard dat daar maksimale privaatheid was. Voorwaar 'n paar dae wat ons sal onthou. Sal beslis weer kom.

Exceptional accommodation in a friendly environment where the people are very helpful. The accommodation we got and the photos matched it, it was truly a pleasant surprise. The hospitality and kindness of the people was truly appreciated. The environment and layout of the various units was such that there was maximum privacy. Truly a few days we will remember. Will definitely come again.

Mees romantiese weskus-wegbreek.

Met ons aankoms is ons ontvang deur 'n baie vriendelike man en vrou. Tarryn het die mooiste knibbel mandjie met aarbeie en allerhande kase gepak, bottel vonkelwyn op ys. Hulle het ons gehelp om die warmbad aan die gang te kry. Baie privaat. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel vir jong of oud getroudes.

Upon our arrival we were received by a very friendly man and woman. Tarryn packed the most beautiful nibble basket with strawberries and all kinds of cheeses, bottle of sparkling wine on ice. They helped us get the hot tub up and running. Very private. Would definitely recommend for young or old married.

Great place to stay.

Super clean and a great reception. On request, we could already drop off our luggage in the morning. Towels were by exception also made available. It would be better for the guests to mention in the description. bringing your own towels. Signage along the road could really be better. In bad weather, so eat inside, only 2 very small tables available. Seating comfort outside is not great, a concrete table with ditto benches and a cushion and 2 not really comfortable wooden benches with a cushion.

Lekker warm nessie in gure weer!

Ons s'n was 'n smaakvolle eenheid met alles wat 'n mens kan benodig behalwe handdoeke vir badkamergebruik, waarvan ons eers gedurende ons 'road trip' verwittig is. Ons moes noodgedwonge handdoeke aankoop en toe ook met die gebruikte, klam handdoeke verder reis - 'n onnodige maar belangrike tekortkoming. Die badkamervensterhandvatsel was gebreek en kon nie herstel word nie - veiligheidsrisiko en bron van koue in slegte weer! Geen WiFi in wooneenhede beskikbaar! Verder was ons verblyf uitstekend, onvergeetlik en sal ons De Ware Jacob eerlik aanbeveel. Bestuurslede was ongelooflik vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Nice warm nest in bad weather!

Ours was a tasteful unit with everything one could need except towels for bathroom use, which we were only informed about during our 'road trip'. We were forced to purchase towels and then also travel with the used, damp towels - an unnecessary but important shortcoming. The bathroom window handle was broken and beyond repair - safety hazard and source of cold in bad weather! No WiFi available in residential units! Furthermore, our stay was excellent, unforgettable and we would honestly recommend De Ware Jacob. Management members were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Was a cozy one time stay.

The cottage is nice and cozy, with a fully equipped kitchen for the exact amount of people, however, the wood fire jacuzzi takes over 3 hrs to heat up. I also almost stepped on a scorpion in our kitchen, When I showed the pic to the owners and asked if it was poisonous, he could answer me.

Gemiddeld

Ons het De Ware Jacob gekies op grond van 3 faktore: 1) Jacuzzi - ons verkies 'n jacuzzi bo 'n hot tub, maar sal settle vir 'n hot tub wat effektief werk. 2) Gratis WiFi - ons hou daarvan om 'n fliek te kyk voor ons gaan slaap. 3) Ligging - ons wou stapafstand van die see wees. 1) Jacuzzi: Ons was in eenheid C. Die hot tub is 'n complete fail. Buiten dat die hot tub 3h20min en 3 sakke hout neem voor dit warm genoeg is, is daar nie 'n skoorsteen nie. So die rook waai waar die wind dit neem. Toe ons daar was het die wind dit in ons gesig gewaai. So na 10min van sit met oë wat brand en traan is ons uit die hot tub "ge-smoke". 2) Die WiFi is net in die gemeenskaplike area, nie in die slaapkamers nie. Dit het ons eers uitgevind na ons die deposito betaal het. Toe my man 'n movie probeer download in die gemeenskaplike area was die internet te stadig. So die WiFi moet eintlik glad nie gelys word as a kenmerk nie. 3) Ek kan nie met sekerheid sê hoe ver die naaste strand is nie, want ons het op die ou einde ons beach walkie in Langebaan gaan doen. Die eienaar is baie nice en behulpsaam en die eiendom is besonders mooi, veral die tuin. Maar klein goedjies kan verbeter: ons het nie 'n broodbord of waterglase in ons eenheid gehad nie. Toe ons met ontbyt begin, het ons besef die gas is op. Chris het dit binne 20min vervang, maar 'n mens het tog 'n checklist voor nuwe gaste in check. Tissues is nie 'n groot uitgawe nie, daar was geen tissues of kitchen towels in die eenheid nie. Aan die einde van die naweek het dit bietjie gevoel asof ons by vriende se huis gaan oorslaap het. Behalwe dat ons R2400 daarvoor betaal het. As die hot tub gewerk het soos dit moet dan het ons waarskynlik van die ander kleiner goed vergeet. En dus, as 'n hot tub nie 'n prioriteit vir jou is nie, is hierdie akkommodasie fanatasties. Maar moet dit nie book vir die hot tub nie.

Average

We chose De Ware Jacob based on 3 factors: 1) Jacuzzi - we prefer a jacuzzi over a hot tub, but will settle for a hot tub that works effectively. 2) Free WiFi - we like to watch a movie before going to bed. 3) Location - we wanted to be within walking distance of the sea. 1) Jacuzzi: We were in unit C. The hot tub is a complete fail. Apart from the fact that the hot tub takes 3h20min and 3 bags of wood before it is hot enough, there is no chimney. So the smoke blows where the wind takes it. When we were there the wind blew it in our face. So after 10 minutes of sitting with burning eyes and tears we were "smoked" out of the hot tub. 2) The WiFi is only in the common area, not in the bedrooms. We only found out after we paid the deposit. When my husband tried to download a movie in the common area the internet was too slow. So the WiFi really shouldn't be listed as a feature at all. 3) I can't say for sure how far the nearest beach is, because we ended up doing our beach walk in Langebaan. The owner is very nice and helpful and the property is particularly beautiful, especially the garden. But small things could improve: we didn't have a bread plate or water glasses in our unit. As we started breakfast, we realized the gas was out. Chris replaced it within 20 minutes, but you have a checklist before checking in new guests. Tissues are not a big expense, there were no tissues or kitchen towels in the unit. At the end of the weekend it felt a bit like we had gone to spend the night at a friends house. Except that we paid R2400 for it. If the hot tub worked as it should then we probably forgot about the other smaller things. And so, if a hot tub is not a priority for you, this accommodation is fanatical. But don't book it for the hot tub.

Friendly and hospitable rest for the soul.

The difference in services as advertised and offered by De Ware Jacob was quickly and satisfactorily sorted out by the people of De Ware Jacob. I would not advertise the availability of "free" WiFi as an amenity. It is only available in the communal pool area where most will not use it. Would recommend that the catchment be provided to also be available inside the cottages.

Would not recommend.

The roof of unit D creaks during the night, loud enough to wake you. The host asked for our check-in time twice. I don't want to be punctual when on holiday. The host messaged again to make sure we checked out on time. I feel guests should be trusted to check out on time without being contacted again, it leaves a sense of hastiness. Double bed in room. No wifi at unit D.

Tranquil, stunning, a bit of paradise on earth.

My group (8 of us) booked out a few units and weren't disappointed. It's a bit of paradise on earth. You can hear the running water from the various water features, you hear the birds chirping and can literally smell the flowers, plants and trees. The hot tubs were a must as it was a bit too chilly for a swim. The wood tub surprised us at how hot it got - it was awesome sitting in it at night with the stars overhead. Each unit's decor is perfectly chosen and of the highest quality. We had an absolutely fantastic, relaxing, tranquil, stunning time at De Ware Jacob and will definitely be back.

We stayed 2 nights, the hot tub was super great. It takes a while so give it time to work , don't add so much wood, the tub became super hot, a point too hot because there was too much wood burning. I really wished the place had a mop, wet feet coming or our spilling things, just missed that.

Ons het in Kothuis B gebly, 'n privaat Jacuzzi onder die sterre, maar ons het ook van die onderdak Jacuzzi gebruik gemaak. Die reën was fantasties op die dak, die kaggel het ons heerlik snoesig gehou. Romanties. Sal ook heerlik wees met vriende.

Romantic, private, great location.

We stayed in Cottage B, a private Jacuzzi under the stars, but we also used the indoor Jacuzzi. The rain was fantastic on the roof, the fireplace kept us wonderfully cozy. Romantic. Would also be great with friends.

Peaceful, beautiful place.

If you need a break from the city life, then this is the best place. One of the best places we have been too. We will definitely be going back soon. It's neat and tidy, it's very quiet and peaceful. Nobody bothers you. Everything is in its place and easy to use. The hot tub works very well. The owners are friendly and are willing to assist you should you need anything.

A romantic getaway with my partner for my birthday!

My husband and I were looking for a quiet, romantic getaway for my birthday and after much searching we found De Ware Jacob on LekkeSlaap. We were very impressed with De Ware Jacob on the website, which was very user-friendly and provided us with beautiful pictures that did not disappoint on arrival. The whole experience was amazing, from the little WhatsApp messages from Ian confirming our booking ahead of time and the update a week before we arrived. He was super attentive to all my questions and his responses were on point. Even with the Covid-19 restrictions, he was very helpful in pointing out the security and safety measures that are taken in order to protect all the guests. On arrival we were met by Chris, who took us into the cottage (we booked Cottage D for 5 nights with its own private wood-burning hot tub). Chris showed us around the cottage and was extremely helpful in assisting us with the gas stove - which neither of us had used before (but it is so easy in hindsight). Our stay was magical. We enjoyed complete privacy. A romantic getaway that was much needed after being locked down for so long. Whilst we didn't venture out too much (mostly because of the weather), we did visit neighbouring towns like Velddrif and Vredenburg. Sadly we didn't make it to Saldanha or Hopefield (which we will definitely be doing in summer - taking advantage of the quad biking on offer). Whilst there, we were advised via WhatsApp that Wednesday night is Pizza Night at De Ware Jacob, whilst we didn't order the pizza as we had arranged to have a potjie that night, they have a wide selection of pizza that is made in their own wood-burning oven on the property, just give them the time you want to collect and dinner is sorted. Another amazing service they offer is a breakfast basket or a braai basket, all of them amazing value for money. We took advantage of the breakfast basket on my birthday and my hubby proudly cooked me a breakfast with the fresh ingredients provided by De Ware Jacob. The personal touches added by Tarryn (a birthday note, fresh little flowers) made the experience that much more special. Whilst there is no internet connection in the cottage, in the common area (pool/entertainment room) you have access to free WiFi which came in super handy when I had to join an impromptu meeting for work. And whilst I was in the meeting, my husband enjoyed the use of the hot tub in the common area. Our experience with Ian, Tarryn and Chris has made a huge impact on us and we would highly recommend booking a cottage at De Ware Jacob. FYI one of the nicest surprises about the cottage (that isn't mentioned anywhere) is the heater as you step out of the shower - amazing feature! Perfect for those cold winter evenings/mornings when you stepping out of your hot shower. If you are looking for an evening with your loved one/s spent around the fire or playing board games and having a laugh whilst been surrounded by the beauty that is Jacobs Bay, then this place is for you! Our cottage offered the luxury that was promised and during our stay became a home away from home. We will be back soon De Ware Jacob, thank you so much for hosting us! This was definitely a 10/10 experience and you have won our hearts over with your amazing welcome and generous hosting. See you soon Ian, Tarryn and Chris!

I always enjoy the tranquility and beauty of De Ware Jacob. Each cottage is impeccably and comfortably furnished with just enough luxury and gorgeousness needed to make you feel so special! The gardens are absolutely stunning and the running water of the fountains and birdlife are heard from everywhere. The pool area and jacuzzi are perfect for the relaxation and tranquility needed for a perfect getaway.

Baie romantiese en rustige verblyf.

Ek en my man het ons naweek ten volle geniet by De Ware Jacob. Volgende keer sal ons definitief langer bly. Die huis was baie netjies en skoon, en ek was mal oor die decor. Daar is mooi tuine en groenigheid en die lig is lekker skoon. Ons het die Jacuzzi ook geniet in die aande en die eienaar het ons baie welkom laat voel en ons gehelp as ons enige iets nodig gehad het. Ek sal dit aanbeveel vir mense wat wil rus en relax, asook paartjies wat 'n romantiese plekkie soek vir 'n naweek.

Magical venue.

Hard to believe one is in South Africa. Like a little oasis tucked away. The owners have given attention to detail and used the natural environment as part of their design. They have given sustainability a whole new meaning. So many water tanks, that feed the rainwater back into watering their natural gardens. They grow their own vegetables and herbs. The layout of all the cottages are done so beautifully, little pathways leading up to each one. Will definitely be returning.

De Ware Jacob is 'n ongelooflike lekker plek om net weer die batterye te laai. Ek en my man het dit so baie geniet. Die stilte is heerlik en alles is netjies en skoon. Niemand rondom jou nie en jy kan net lekker ontspan. Jy kan heerlik gaan stap deur Jacobsbaai so pak jou tekkies in of vat jou fiets. En onthou ook jou Peaceful Sleep, daar is muskiete. Sal definitief weer gaan.

A beautiful relaxing stay.

De Ware Jacob is extremely beautiful and the perfect place to come and relax with your partner. We did struggle a bit with the hot tub the first night however the owners were extremely helpful and generous with extra wood. The shower doesn't stay hot for very long but I'm assuming it is to save electricity, other than that our stay was perfect and Jacobsbaai is really peaceful and beautiful with all the spring flowers.

The place look exactly as advertised in the pictures. Clean and comfortable. Owners are very friendly and helpful. On calling on them they attend to your queries instantly. Only problem we had was that we paid extra to have the hot bath but then it did not work. That was a bit of a disappointment. Otherwise, I would recommend this place to anybody who just needs to go chill for the weekend.

We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at De Ware Jacob.
We can only assume that you forgot to followed the instructions on how to use the wood burning hot-tub that we sent you on Whatsapp; this would gave given you a wonderful hot-tub.

De Ware amazing week away!

This was home away from home for a week and we cannot wait to go back there one day again! The layout of the bungalow is extremely well thought out in terms of comfort and total privacy. The hosts are most welcoming and were on hand to help out whenever needed (e.g they sell wood and deliver this to the bungalow with a smile!) The bungalows are fully self catering, but for convenience, breakfast options and braai packs can be ordered (the provisions are provided, which you then prepare for yourself). We opted to make use of this service and were not disappointed, as the quality of the provisions was superb and also beautifully presented. They certainly know how to make their guests feel very special

Dit was werklik 'n diamant tussen die wit klippe van Jakobsbaai.

Ian en sy seun Chris was fantasties om enige vrae wat ons oor die area gehad het te antwoord en sodoende het ek en my vrou 'n wonderlike huweliksherdending by die Weskus restaurant gespandeer. Ook toe ons vir 'n rukkie sonder warm water was het hulle dit onmiddellik aangespreek. Ek raai die Ware Jakob aan as een van daai baie spesiale plekke om te besoek. Sal julle weer sien!

Great visit

We had a lovely time at De Ware Jacob. The accommodation is highly modern and minimalistic. Location is very peaceful and a good "change of scenery". I do have the following suggestions: 1. It was not clear upon our arrival where we had to stop for reception or which unit we had to drive to. Directional signs on site will help a lot. 2. Our unit (Cottage D) also did not have oven gloves to handle the pots that get hot. A mop would also be very handy. Our only disappointment was that the hot tub was dirty and the water was not already hot when we arrived. Although we were told that it only takes 2 hours to warm up, it took us much longer and we couldn't get the water to a very lukewarm temperature. I expected the water to be at least lukewarm to warm when we arrived and of course clean. Having said that, we will definitely go back again and look forward to our next visit.

Dit was uitsonderlik, ons het gevoel asof ons alleen daar was. Tog was hulp net 'n oproep ver. Die personeel is vriendelik en baie hulpvaardig. Ons het 'n volledige oriëntasie van alles gehad. Wonderlike verblyf gehad.

Relaxing and amazing.

An amazing place away from home! Very relaxing and beautiful. Only problem is the communal jacuzzi needs just a little bit heating up as it was luke warm considering the cold weather. Other than that we will definitely be coming back!

De Ware Jacob 's response

We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at De Ware Jacob. Unfortunately, the load shedding does at times cause the communal Jacuzzi to cool down a bit from its normal temperature of 38 C. If you book one of our cottages with its own private wood-burning hot tub then you can control your own temperature. Wishing you all the best. Ian

The stay was pleasant and quiet.

The accommodation was not conducive for my travel as there were no internet available in the cottage. Internet was only available in the communal area. There were no remote for the gate and one has to get out of your car to open and close this caused a bit of an inconvenience especially during the rainy whether. Other than that it was a pleasant stay.

Goed, maar nie uitstaande.

Adverteer as luuks, maar eenhede onder gemiddelde standaard. Adverteer as rustige plek om te 'rewind' terwyl baie luide gaste in ander 3 eenhede die Saterdag die gesamentlike area oorgeneem het. Hottub waarna ons meeste uitgesien het is van laatoggend oorgeneem deur die 3 pare wat geen rus toegelaat het nie. Wag ook nou nog dat Chris wat ons ontvang het terugkom na ons om WiFi te kon kry. Dus nie luuks en nie rustige blyplek nie. Dit was 'n teleurstelling juis omdat dit ons 40e huweliksherdenking was en rustigheid en net effe luuksheid belangrik was.

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

Good, but not outstanding.

Advertised as luxury, but units below average standard. Advertised as quiet place to 'rewind' while very loud guests in other 3 units took over the common area on Saturday. Hottub, which we were most looking forward to, was taken over from late morning by the 3 couples who did not allow any rest. Still waiting for Chris who received us to get back to us to get WiFi. So not luxurious and not a peaceful place to stay. It was a disappointment precisely because it was our 40th wedding anniversary and tranquility and just a touch of luxury were important.

Dear Elsabe,
Our apologies that you were disappointed in your stay. We totally discourage group bookings as we market our cottages as romantic getaways for couples. However, sometimes we are unaware that people know one another. We would like to apologize as we were not aware of this.

Worst birthday weekend ever.

Die plek is skoon en netjies. Ek het probleem opgetel met stort wat net een mens kan gebruik dan is die water op. Ook ons kon nie die al geriewe geniet nie, daar's altyd 'n excuse. Ek moes in wash basin was en moes ketelwater gebruik, want die warm water was op. Die instansie-eienaar was net vol excuses. En dit was my verjaardag so almal het Veels Geluk gesing en die instansie-eienaar het ons elke keer kom stil maak. Die mense kon nie eens lag of praat nie. Was baie disturbing. Bad experience en het so 'n klomp geld betaal, maar was nie waarde vir die geld nie. Baie ongelukkig!

De Ware Jacob 's response

We were so pleased that you had such lovely weather for your party and spent Saturday from 08:00 around the pool, swimming, using the Jacuzzi, playing music and enjoying the day. We would like to thank you for leaving all of the cottages so neat and tidy.
A week before arrival, you received the house rules which clearly state that we are not a party destination. At 24:00 we kindly requested for you to go indoors as the music and very loud talking was sure to disturb the neighbours. At 02:00 we had no choice but to tell you that the party is over.
You were given clear instructions as to how the heat pump for the geyser works. Had you followed the instructions, you would have had no problem.
Wishing you all the best, Ian.

Rustige verblyf op 'n rustige dorpie.

Ons het heerlik gebly by De Ware Jacob. Die verblyf is baie netjies en modern, elke huisie het privaatheid van die ander huisies. Die Jacuzzi was heerlik, selfs in die reën. My enigste kritiek is dat daar te min koffie was. Dis nie 'n moet nie, maar ek sal aanbeveel dat daar 'n koffie is per persoon per dag van die verblyf.

This is an absolute Instagramable paradise. The residents in Jacobsbaai were all extremely friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the privacy we had in Luxury Cottage D, however, the Jacuzzi didn't really warm up so we made use of the communal Jacuzzi which was lovely and we weren't disturbed at all.

We took a stroll down to the beach, visited the fairy and Pixie Village as well as the Westcoast Mall. The friendly and loving dogs on the property put smiles on our faces every time they came to visit. I highly recommend it. Perfect stay for some quality time with your spouse/partner.

It is a nice place to go for if you want to rest or escape the city.

The only issue was during our karaoke session we were asked to turn it down in the afternoon. I understand there are people staying there but it is a holiday destination, people are going to come there to have fun and make noise too. I think that is something to consider and explain to other guests that there might be noise between certain hours.

Ek is reeds besig om my volgende kuier te beplan!

Van "the word go" was Ian en Diane super gasvry en behulpsaam en ons het sommer dadelik tuis en gemaklik gevoel. Die kothuise is almal baie netjies en goed toegerus! Behalwe vir die feit dat die perseel verskriklik mooi en goed na gekyk is, het die veiligheid van die perseel my die meeste stom geslaan. Ons was 8 dames en was nooit bekommerd oor enige iets wat gaan wegraak of bang gevoel om rond te beweeg nie. Ons gaan vir Lulu die meeste mis en hoop om hulle sommer gou gou weer te sien!

'n Plekkie naby die hartklop van moeder aarde.

Of dit die attentheid tot klein detail, die warm harte van sy mense of net die magic van die hele pakkie is, De Ware Jakob doen sy naam gestand. Pragtige huisie, wonderlike mense en die lewenslus wat borrel van bokkies, blomme en vetpensvarkies. En wat 'n besonderse mens is Simba - altyd 'n glimlag en 'n vriendelike woord.

Sielsrus en lekker Jacuzzi!

Baie dankie aan Ian wat 'n wonderlike gasheer was - hy het ons gasvry ontvang en ons dadelik tuis laat voel, daar was totale privaatheid en ons het dit vreeslik geniet. As ons 'n voorstel kan maak sal dit wees om 'n hekmotor te installeer by die ingang van die eiendom, 'n automatise hek sal die in-en-uitbeweging baie makliker maak vir gaste.

Die stilte was absoluut fantasties.

Die Jacuzzi was die hoogtepunt en die kothuis waarin ons gewoon het was baie gerieflik en naby an als. Ian en sy vrou is baie gasvry. Twee nagte was te kort, volgende keer bly ons definitief langer.

Great place, very quiet and restful, excellent hosts, Dianne and Ian were always available and helpful, but not necessary to contact them as everything was in place.

Premises are well appointed, and very comfortable. Amenities excellent, braai facility, spa, pool, comfortable bed and furniture and a lot of trouble has been taken with the decor to make the accommodation homely and welcoming. The ideal place for a restful breakaway. Not a lot to do in Jacobs Baai, other than walks and swimming if you are of a mind to do so. We just chilled, with forays into Paternoster and Veldrift, which are a short drive away, to see the sights there.

Salig, stil en stylvol.

De Ware Jacob was 'n uitsekende keuse vir ons kuier aan die Weskus. Die kothuis is baie gerieflik en stylvol met 'n heerlike buite kuier- en braaiplek. Die tuin en swembad is pragtig - alles is selfs nog mooier as op die foto's! Ons het die Jacuzzi geniet en kon te voet al die wandelpaadjies langs die see verken. 10 uit 10 vir Ian en Diane se gasvryheid!

De Ware Jacob is die wonderlikste plek waar ons nog ooit oorgebly het.

Ons twee dae by De Ware Jacob was 'n uitsonderlike ervaring en hoogtepunt. Die kothuis is baie spesiaal en privaat, die uitleg is interessant en opwindend en die afwerkings besonders. Die tuin is pragtig uitgelê. Alles is netjes en goed versorg. Diane is die volmaakte gasvrou. Ons sal beslis terugkeer na die plekkie in die paradys.

Juweel. Voorwaardelik 'n besondere plek.

De Ware Jacob is absoluut meer as wat jy sien en verwag. Ons gashere Ian en Dianne is die beste. Ons het so welkom en spesiaal gevoel. Ian het ons vergesel na die eenheid. Ons gewys hoe alles binne werk asook die Jacuzzi. Hy het ons die tuin gewys wat Dianne beplan het asook al die pragtige kunswerke wat sy skep. Al die eenhede is ook beplan deur haar met die gaste se privaatheid en gemak as kern. 100%+ vir gasvryheid. Hierdie plekkie was die hoogtepunt van ons vakansie. Smaakvol en luuks gemeubileer so uit 'n boek. Skoon, netjies en veilig. Alles wat jy benodig in die eenheid. Privaat en stil. Bekoorlik en romanties. Van die kersies wat buite hang, bed wat aan toue hang asook die lekker warm kaggel vuurtjie wat jy kan aansteek so ook was die Jacuzzi 'n wenner in die winter. Dianne se boeke wat sy in die eenheid tot jou beskikking stel het ek so geniet. Hierdie instansie het my hart gewen en sal ek weer en weer terug gaan en aanbeveel aan almal wat in bekostigbaar in styl en privaatheid will bly.

Jewel. Conditionally a special place.

De Ware Jacob is absolutely more than you see and expect. Our hosts Ian and Dianne are the best. We felt so welcome and special. Ian accompanied us to the unit. We showed how everything works inside as well as the Jacuzzi. He showed us the garden that Dianne planned as well as all the beautiful works of art that she creates. All the units were also planned by her with the guests' privacy and comfort as the core. 100%+ for hospitality. This place was the highlight of our vacation. Tastefully and luxuriously furnished like out of a book. Clean, tidy and safe. Everything you need in the unit. Private and quiet. Charming and romantic. From the cherries hanging outside, bed hanging from ropes as well as the nice warm fireplace fire that you can light, the Jacuzzi was also a winner in the winter. I really enjoyed Dianne's books that she makes available to you in the unit. This establishment has won my heart and I will go back again and again and recommend it to everyone who wants to stay affordably in style and privacy.

Dianne and Ian were for sure the "hosts with the mosts" and ever so accommodating! This venue offers stylish accommodation, tastefully decorated yet cosy and comfortable. The cottages and braai room area was well equipped with everything one would need. The property caretaker, Simba, was most friendly and courteous, always standing by to assist. I would highly recommend this venue and cant wait to return! Thank you once again for an unforgettable weekend!

De Ware Jacob bied 'n pragtige omgewing met stylvolle en moderne meubelering. Ons het die rustigheid baie geniet. Die kamers lyk net soos op die foto's en ons was beïndruk met ons plekkie wat mooi skoon en netjies was. Dankie vir die lekker verblyf. Julle sal ons beslis weer sien.

Little luxurious west coast gem!

Hospitality at its best from arrival to departure. Upon arrival Ian was present to welcome us, gave us a tour of the grounds and explained the significance of the area as well as what was on offer in the town and its surroundings. We stayed in the Luxury Cottage-B. The cottage is fully equipped with all you need for a self-catering weekend away. The creative use of space and lighting, coupled with the attention to detail in the décor creates a sense of comfort and luxury while still being close to nature. Each cottage offers a lovely private outside area and braai space. Lulu was a welcomed guest and enjoyed snoozing on the patio! De Ware Jacob could be enjoyed by partners, and families with kids alike. The Jacuzzi was a good way to end off evenings and the pool looked very refreshing. Thank you to the hosts who really went the extra mile to accommodate us. We would definitely recommend De Ware Jacob and will be returning to this west coast gem soon!

A great drive up the West Coast to a little slice of heaven.

To start with we had a scenic drive up the West Coast all the way to this secluded little farm. A really well thought out set up with the friendliest owners. The cabins are spacious, clean and well equipped. The beach is very close for some adventure and all the bays are within walking distance. If you need to relax to escape the business of everyday life you really cannot go wrong here. I highly recommend this to young couples looking for affordable accommodation at one of the most beautiful locations in the Western Cape.

Peaceful setting, comfortable, tasteful clean accommodation, friendly, helpful owners and staff make it a place for a return visit! All you could want for a winter or summer stay.

A big thanks to Ian and Diane and their helpful friendly staff for making it such a wonderful stay. The setting is peaceful and lovely with clean beautifully appointed accommodation. The indoor fireplace, electric blanket, undercover braai area and communal Jacuzzi made it cosy and warm for our winter stay and the swimming pool and great entertainment area is inviting for a summer stay. It takes just a few minutes to walk down to the sea and the walk along the paths there enjoyable. A short drive away is some spectacular scenery. Thank you Ian for making sure we enjoyed all aspects of your lovely town.

Perfekte naweek vir ontspan in 'n luukse Weskus-omgewing waar jy alles kan doen en het op een perseel, absoluut perfek!

Ons was vriendelik verwelkom en mooi rondgewys oor die hele perseel met die aankomslag. Die cottages was so mooi opgemaak met 'n goeie balans van gemaklikheid en luuksheid. Dit is die perfekte plek gewees om net te gaan ontspan en terselfdetyd die bederf gehad van die Jacuizzi en kaggel in die sitkamer. Ons kan nie wag om weer terug te gaan na De Ware Jacob nie (somer of winter). Dankie Ian vir al jou vriendelikheid en uitmuntende sorg aan ons!

It was the perfect place to just relax and at the same time have the pampering of the Jacuzzi and fireplace in the living room. We can't wait to go back to De Ware Jacob again (summer or winter). Thank you Ian for all your kindness and excellent care of us!

Die plekke was netjies, maar eienaar het mens nie altyd jou privaatheid gegun nie en wil heeltyd vir jou sê hoe en wat om te doen. Kon skaars gebruik maak van die swembad, dan was hy daar om dit toe te maak. Hy het ons grootmense heeltyd soos 'n klomp stoute kinders laat voel wat alles verkeerd doen.

It was nice, but the owner did not always respect one's privacy.

The places were neat, but the owner didn't always give you privacy and wanted to tell you all the time how and what to do. Could hardly use the pool, then he was there to close it. He kept making us adults feel like a bunch of naughty kids doing everything wrong.

It is very unfortunate that the luxury and hospitality we always offer our guests was perceived so negatively by you. Wishing you all the best. Ian

Wonderlike oase in die middel van die Weskus.

Skoon, netjies en attention to detail. Baie gasvry! Home away from home met 'n luxury twist. Privaat en romanties. Een van ons beste wegbreke ooit!

Saligheid en vrede, die perfekte wegbreek van die jaag en geraas.

Ons het ons verblyf by De Ware Jacob regtig geniet. Die huisie is pragtig met die mooiste dekor. Die natuurlike aardse kleure omhels mens met rustigheid en jy kan dadelik ontspan en herlaai. Die geriewe is perfek, Dianne was die gemaklikste gasvrou en ons het vriende gemaak met Molly en Lulu, die twee St Bernard honde wat so nou en dan kom groet het. Heerlik geslaap met die oggendson wat deurskyn en branders wat breek teen die kus. Rustig en salig, dis 'n plekkie wat ons beslis weer sal besoek.

Bliss and peace, the perfect break away from the rush and noise.

We really enjoyed our stay at De Ware Jacob. The house is lovely with the most beautiful decor. The natural earthy colours has a calming effect. The facilities are perfect. Dianne was such an easy-going hostess and we befriended Molly and Lulu, the two St Bernard dogs that came to greet us every now and then. We got such a good night's rest with the morning sun shining through and the sounds of the breaking waves. Tranquil, blissful, a place we would gladly return to.

'n Absolute verkwikking vir die siel.

Wow! Diane, baie dankie weereens vir die ongvergeetlike naweek. Die stadslewe kan 'n mens soms onderkry, maar na net een naweek by De Ware Jacob was my siel verkwik en sien ek weer kans om die lewe aan te pak. Ons het dit so baie geniet ek het reeds ons volgende naweek geboek en betaal. Die hoogtepunte van De Ware Jacob: Gerustellende veiligheid, plaasatmosfeer, pragtige uitleg van tuin en gebruik van plante eie aan die distrik, pragtige skoon eenhede met top gehalte meubels met 'n kreatiewe invloed, vriendelike diens, plaasdiertjies en die honde wat so goed was met ons jong dogtertjie, stilte, rus en vrede, alles wat jy nodig het, swembad, borrelbad, braaikamer, ten volle gemeubileerde selfsorg-eenhede. Dit was absoluut stunning! Dankie ook aan Tredoux se vriendelikheid en lekker geselsies. Dankie, Diane. Julle is wonderlik.

Refreshing!

Wow! Diane, thank you for the unforgettable weekend. Sometimes, life in the city is just too much to handle. However, after just one weekend at De Ware Jacob my soul was refreshed and I have new energy to seize life. We enjoyed it so much I even already booked my next weekend. Highlights: peace of mind security, farm atmosphere, lovely layout of garden with local plant species, lovely clean units with top quality furniture and a creative influence, friendly service, farm animals and dogs that were so friendly to our little daughter, quiet, tranquility, peacefulness, everything you need, swimming pool, jacuzzi, braai room, fully furnished self catering units. It was absolutely stunning! Thanks to Tredoux for his kindness and nice chats. Thank you Diane. You guys are wonderful.

Moderne plaas-atmosfeer met kos vir die siel.

Hierdie was een van die beste plekke wat ons nog besoek het. Plaas, maar tog modern. Rustig en perfek geleë om die omgewing te verken. Baie dankie Diane vir 'n heerlike langnaweek by julle stunning plek. Dankie vir die vriendelikheid en waardevolle inligting van die besienswaardighede in die omgewing. Ons beleid is om elke keer by 'n ander plek te bly maar die is een bestemming wat ons definitief weer sal besoek. Heerlike naweek saam met die liefde van my lewe.

Modern farm atmosphere with food for the soul.

This was one of the best places we have ever visited. Farm, yet modern. Quiet and perfectly located to explore the area. Thank you very much Diane for a lovely long weekend at your stunning place. Thank you for the kindness and valuable information about the attractions in the area. Our policy is to stay at a different place each time but this is one destination we will definitely visit again. Great weekend with the love of my life.

Natuurlike luuksheid met gasvryheid.

Hierdie pragtige plek is perfek vir wegbreek in die winter. 'n Kaggel wat warm brand, Karoo-agtige natuur buite die venster, die druppels wat val, maak dit storieboek pragtig. Die voorreg om jou kamerdeur oop te maak om die koue seelug in die oggend in te laat sonder om bang te voel. Die gasvryheid is pragtig, en voel jy eerder soos verlangs familie wat kom kuier as vreemdelinge op 'n perseel. Dus voel jy wonderlik in plek. Die bokkies, honde en eende gee 'n regte plaasgevoel. Hierdie is 'n pragtige plek en ons sal terugkom en die hele plek bespreek vir ons familie. Dink dis ideaal vir 'n groot groepwegbreek. Dankie vir alles.

Natural luxury with hospitality.

This beautiful place is perfect for a winter getaway. A fireplace that crackles warmly, Karoo-like nature outside the window, raindrops falling, all makes it picture book perfect. The privilege to open your room door to let in the cold sea air in the mornings without feeling scared. The hospitality is gorgeous, and you feel like distantly related family rather than strangers on the premises. Thus you feel wonderful there. The goats, dogs and ducks give it a true farm feeling. This is a beautiful place and we will come again and book the whole place for our family. Think it's ideal for a big group getaway. Thanks for everything.

A place called home.

What an awesome time we've had at De Ware Jacob. Ohhhh! We would love to go back there if the opportunity arises. The environment really stepped up to our expectations. Just what we needed, A must to go back. The warm welcome, the hospitality, the quietness in the surrounding. It really creates the togetherness when couples go there for a quiet time of relaxing in the Jacuzzi, exploring the surrounding and the Weskus Mall is like 8 min away. Many thanks to Dianne for making our stay so pleasant.

Welcoming, attractive and friendly.

We recently stayed for 4 nights with our daughter, son-in-law and 2 grandchildren aged 7 and 4. We were greeted on arrival and shown to our accommodation which was spotlessly clean, well appointed with artistic flair. Everything that was needed was available from dishwashing machine in both the main chalet and the lapa to swimming pool, Jacuzzi and dry braaiwood. The grandchildren were even allowed to take the dwarf goat Milly for a walk. We all had a fantastic time. Bookings are going to be difficult to get once the secret of this place becomes known. Many thanks to Dianne and Ian.

Definitief 'n plekkie waarna ons weer sal gaan.

Ek en my 9-jarige dogter het besluit om 'n mamma-dogter naweek alleen weg te hê. Die eenheid wat ons gehad het wat so geleë dat dit op die swembad uitkyk. My dogter was letterlik die hele naweek in die swembad. Terwyl ek dus met dingetjies besig was in die eenheid, kon ek heeltyd 'n ogie oor haar hou. Ek het ook saam met haar geswem en dit was heerlik om uit die koue swembad in die warm Jacuzzi te kon klim. Al die geriewe is uitstekend. Diane is baie vriendelik en Simba baie behulpsaam.

Definitely a place to go back to.

My 9 year old daughter and I decided to have a mother-daughter weekend away. The unit we had looked over the swimming pool. My daughter was in the pool literally the whole weekend. So while I was busy with stuff in the unit, I could keep an eye on her the whole time. I also swam with her and it was lovely to get out of the cold pool and into the warm Jacuzzi. All the facilities are excellent. Diane is very friendly and Simba is very helpful.

Bitter mooi plek, maar ver van see.

Positief: Nuwe, skoon, netjies plekke met als wat jy nodig het; Baie modern en regtig baie mooi plek; Die duurder huisies lekker privaat; Lekker kuier- en braaiplek onder dak en kaggel binne huisie. Negatief: De Ware Jacob is nie stapafstand van die see nie en verseker ook nie "5 min" se stap nie. Jy kan nie eers die see ruik of sien of hoor nie. Was glad nie gelukkig hiermee nie; Ek was onder die indruk dat ons 'n privaat Jacuzzi het by ons huisie en was selfs gevra of ons dit gaan gebruik sodat hulle kan weet of hulle dit moet aansit vir ons. Dit was een van die groot redes hoekom ek die plek geboek het. Die Jacuzzi word gedeel met al die ander huisies en dit werk op first come first serve basis. Ons het dit glad nie gebruik nie; Die kaggel binne huisie se skoorsteun se haan raas vreeslik.

Beautiful place, but far from the sea.

One the positive side, this place is new, clean and neat with everything you could need. It is very modern and really quite beautiful. You get a lot of privacy when you book one of the more expensive houses. There is a very nice area outside which is set out for socialising and braais and a fireplace inside the house. The negative side is that De Ware Jacob is not walking distance from the sea and certainly not a "5 minute walk" from the ocean. You can't even smell or see the ocean. We really weren't happy about this. We were under the impression that we'd have a private Jacuzzi by our house and were even asked whether or not we would be using it so that they could come and switch it on for us. It was one of the major reasons I booked this place. But the Jacuzzi is shared by all the houses and works on a first come first serve basis. We couldn't use it at all. The weathercock atop the chimney is very noisy.
