We had a nice time off with the sea on our doorstep.
Die Anker is very conveniently located with the sea literally on the doorstep. The basic necessities are there although we feel that a little maintenance is needed. A fresh coat of paint, especially in the bathroom, will make a big difference. The bedding and towels are also tired and run down. We would also like to open the curtain to see the beautiful sea, but then there is no privacy in the room. Blinds may be a better option. Despite this we had a nice stay.

Good potential but needs some attention.
Thea was very friendly and helpful. The Snookie unit can develop into very good accommodation, but it definitely needs some work. The unit has a great view and is also nice and private. Would suggest the owner pay some attention to the furniture. Although we didn't use the roof fan, I suggest the owner look into it as it seems not very safe. Would also suggest replacing some of the kitchen utensils (grater, vegetable peeler). Otherwise we had a very nice stay and Doringbaai is a very cute place.

Somewhat of a disappointment! Bitterly basic, really just a place to sleep. Would not like to stay here again. It needs a lot of love and attention to make it a choice of accommodation for the future, despite the fantastic location. It gives a feeling of a backpackers accommodation.

It really is value for money. There is only one window next to the door in the room which needs to be either taped or painted over as it feels like you have no privacy. Thea was really great and the people who work for her very helpful. We also had our laundry done there for a minimal fee. The ladies in the restaurant are also very friendly and the breakfast is value for money!

The Anker Guesthouse has a very good location and overlooks the sea and the harbor with its wine cellar and restaurant. The unit is very nice and well equipped. A visit to the Fryers Cove Wine Cellar and restaurant in the harbor is a definite must when visiting Doring Bay. However, if you want to visit the restaurant on a weekend, make sure to book in advance - it's worth it.

Very disappointing.
There was no one to receive us. Neighbors informed us that we should call a certain number that was on the door for someone to receive us. Did not take any food or things to make our own food. On booking I was informed that there is a restaurant right next to the guest house where we can eat. Restaurant was already closed at 15:00. The neighbors informed us that the restaurant was closed due to a power outage. There are two other restaurants open. We visited one, but it was so dirty that we didn't get a chance to eat there. We then went to the harbor where there was another restaurant with a generator. It was then already 16:30. We were informed that the restaurant closes at 17:00 but that they would help us. Luckily we were able to have a good meal there. Thanks for managing the restaurant. It might have been good if the guest house could have informed us that we would have to cook ourselves, then we could bring the necessary equipment. Then left the next day for Melkbosstrand where we could stay at a much neater guest house at a lower cost. Lost the money that had already been paid at Die Anker. Unfortunately, I would not be able to recommend the place to any other person. The website might just need to make sure about the location before they support it.

The location is unbeatable, which can be recommended! Guest house appears a bit dilapidated.
The guesthouse will be recommended for its location. However, the facility appears a bit dilapidated. The room was spacious though. Privacy was an issue when the curtains were opened to enjoy the view. There was also uncertainty about the safety of the parking at the guest house as there was no fence. We are also of the opinion that the accommodation is somewhat overpriced.

Would definitely recommend Die Anker.
There was a power outage for 2 hours. Luckily I brought my own small flashlight. Had to eat in the dark. There was indeed a black box on wheels under the table. No indication what it could be. No signal when the power went out so I couldn't call or do anything. Next day when I see her again she will tell me that the black box is a power box with batteries in it if the power goes out. Then she arrived with bedside light to show how it works. Also told me if I would turn on the TV then at least we would have light. No indication or instructions what to do if the power went out. Unacceptable!

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer op die verblyf en dat u ons wel aanbeveel en die ster-gradering regverdig gedoen het.
Beurtkrag is 'n baie onaangename situasie vir gastehuiseienaars. Ons het "inverters" (die swart boks met batterye) wat outomaties aan gaan wanneer die munisipaliteit beurtkrag aktiveer. Daar is geen instruksies of aanduidings nie omdat u niks moet doen nie, behalwe om die lampie wat aan die inverter gekoppel is aan te skakel indien beurtkrag plaasvind nadat dit reeds donker is.
In vorige gevalle waar die stelsel nie outomaties gebeur het nie het die gaste die stelsel afgeskakel by die muurprop sonder dat hulle besef het wat hulle alles afgeskakel het.
Ons besef daardie tegnologie is vreemd vir iemand wat nie voorheen daarmee te doen gehad het nie en vra om verskoning as ons kommunikasie met u gebrekkig was. Indien die stelsel werk soos dit hoort sal die televisie, Wi-fi, selfoonlaaiers en een lig steeds werk gedurende beurtkrag.
Baie dankie dat u hierdie kwessie opgehaal het, want nou kan ons, ons kommunikasie met ons gaste ten opsigte van beurtkrag verbeter.

Unfortunately, the Anker's restaurant (The Cabin) was not yet back in business due to Covid-19 - and the room is not set up for self-catering (only coffee/tea facilities, kettle and small fridge) [This would not have been a problem if the restaurant was open or we were informed in advance of the current situation.] Hostess very friendly and helpful. Excellent location with a lovely view of the sea. WiFi was a bonus.

Die Anker Guesthouse 's response
Goeie dag Frans,
Dankie vir jou resensie.
Ek waardeer dat jy tyd geneem het om die na vore te bring en ek stem saam dat die plekkie opknapping kort. Ons is reeds besig daarmee.
Dit is vir my sleg om te sien dat jy customer service, value for money, en cleanliness so laag sterre gegee het, want dit is ons mikpunt om altyd ons gaste vriendelik te hanteer en welkom te laat voel. Ek voel dat ons eenheid definitief waarde vir geld is en die eenheid is toegerus met platskerm TV met Netflix, SABC 1, 2/3, E-tv en DStv Sport. Ons het ook gratis onbeperkte Wifi en is toegerus dat u tydens beurtkrag die wifi en televisie kan gebruik en ook fone laai en 'n lig het wat werk. Ons probeer ook baie hard om die plekkie altyd skoon te hou en ek wens jy kon vir ons verder verduidelik hoe ons die kon verbeter. Ek wil net onder u aandag bring dat ons restaurant nie permanent toe is nie, maar dit was tydelik toe gemaak weens COVID19. Ons het verkies om langer te wag voordat ons weer oopmaak omdat ons omgee vir ons gaste en hul gesondheid asook ons eie gesondheid. U het nie 'n bespreking vir ete by ons gemaak nie maar 'n selfsorgeenheid vir een aand bespreek. Sou u vooraf bespreek het vir ete sou u ingelig gewees het. Ons het 'n reeling met 'n restaurant minder as 100 meter van ons af dat ons gaste na hulle verwys en ons het u by aankoms daarvan ingelig indien u wel sou wou uiteet in plaas van vir uself sorg.

Baie dankie vir die regverdige terugvoer. Dit help ons om goeie besluite te neem met veranderings/verbeterings.
Whale het twee slaapkamers. In die hoofslaapkamer is 'n dubbelbed en 'n enkelbed en die tweede kamer is 'n oopplan slaapkamer/kitchenette met 'n dubbelbed in die slaapkamer gedeelte. Die kitchette se ligging kan 'n probleem skep met privaatheid vir daardie vroeg oggend koffie en daarom het ons die ketel na die eetkamer toe geskuif.
Volgens terugvoer wat ons kry word die kitchenette veel minder gebruik as die braaiplek op die stoep wat see uitsig het.
Lugversorgers: Dit is 'n gerief wat ons graag in die toekoms vir ons gaste wil aanbied. Omdat ons by die see is het ons gelukkig baie min dae wat die temperatuur onuitstaanbaar hoog is maar Oostewind dae is nie ons gunsteling dae nie. Gelukkig is die heersende wind van die see se kant af so hier is dit meer dikwels te koel as te warm.
Ek sien dat u drie sterre gegee het vir sekuriteit. Ons het op 25 Januarie 2020 CCTV kameras by die publieke areas en parkeer areas op die perseel laat installeer.
Ek sien dat u twee sterre gee vir "Value for Money" maar onder die opskrif is geskryf: Prys is goed.
Dankie daarvoor.

Baie dankie vir resensie. Terugvoer kan ons net laat verbeter.
Die eienaar is onlangs oorlede na ‘n lang tyd van gesondheidsproleme. Ons, as nuwe bestuur, is besig om veranderinge en verberinge aan te bring. Ons het vroeg in Desember nuwe matrasse bestel. Ongelukkig is ons matrasse eers middel Januarie afgelewer omdat die fabrieke toegemaak het oor die kersvakansie en ons het dadelik die ouer matrasse uitgehaal en met die nuwe matrasse vervang.
Ek sien dat u waarde vir geld net 1 ster gegee het. U selfsorg eenheid bied slaapplek vir 4 mense waarvoor u R800.00 betaal het. Die kombuisie is volledig toegerus en die yskas/vrieskas is nuut gekoop en drie maande oud. Die eenheid het gratis onbeperkte Wi-Fi, ‘n slim platskerm televisie met Netflix, Sport en ander kanale. Die eenheid word daagliks gediens, selfs al het u net vir 2 dae. Daar is gratis koffie, tee, melk en suiker wat daagliks aangevul word, selfs al is dit 'n selfsorg woonstel, asook klein houers met bodywash, shampoo en lyfroom wat ook daagliks aangevul word.
Sekuriteit. Die motor parkering is onder skadunet en daar is 'n hek met ketting en 'n slot waarvoor gaste 'n sleutel kry. Ons het op 25 Januarie 2020, ongeveer 'n maand na u verblyf by ons, CCTV kameras op die perseel laat installeer en die parkeerarea van die eenheid word ten volle gedek deur twee CCTV kameras.

Ek sien dat u dit nodig geag het om 'n tweede resensie te gee vir die ekstra dag wat u bespreek het en ek wonder hoekom u vir 'n tweede dag bespreek het nadat u so sleg geslaap het.
Ek het vollledig terugvoer oor die matras situasie gegee by u eerste resensie. In hierdie resensie noem u dat die matras "net materiaal oor 'n klomp springs" is. Miskien is u deurmekaar met ‘n ander gastehuis want ons het nie sulke matrasse nie.
Mop, besem en skoppie, ek wil darem net noem sodat ander gaste nie onder ‘n wanindruk verkeer nie. Die deur waar agter genoemde items gebere is, is die deur tussen die leefarea en die slaapkamer en die items is aan die leefarea net langs die kombuisie se kant van die deur en die rede is omdat die kombuisie klein is. Na aanleiding van wat u geskryf het mag iemand dalk dink dat dit aan die slaapkamer se kant is.
Braaitoerusting, dit is ongelukkig so dat sommige gaste met meer huistoe gaan as waarmee hulle by ons aangekom het. Ons vra dus gewoonlik vir gaste dat hul rapporteer indien hulle enige iets benodig. Sodoende kan ons hul probleme uitstryk sodat hul verblyf aangenaam is en sodat ons nie van hul ongelukkigheid hoor eers wanneer ons ‘n resensie lees nie want dan kan ons nie meer u verblyfsituasie vir u verbeter nie.
