Unbelievable. Okay please. Nice swimming (everything is so close). And dream house.
Thank you very much for the incredibly friendly reception. With a chocolate on each pillow and even hot water bottles for each bed. We really enjoyed it. Very spacious and incredibly good location and view. I can definitely recommend it to any family. Thank you very much for the hospitality and freedom you have offered to us and our children.

Old, but not yet cold.
The old stone house is perfect for larger groups who want a simple holiday. We were just 2 people. The kitchen is well equipped and furniture matches the old nostalgic feel of the house. Note that the home is currently on the market and guests may be asked to allow buyers to view. Well located with a view over the river. Margaret was very friendly and helpful.

Single traveler - for the long weekend.
I was a solo traveler for the long weekend. I was so lucky to find such a beautiful place with the kindest hostess. Everything I needed was in the house. I could buy wood from her - so I didn't even have to go to the store. The place was very neat. I really can't fault the beautiful place. I will definitely go again and again. And I recommend everyone to use The Old Family Beach House. You will not regret it. With such a lovely hostess, one cannot help but feel welcome.

Lovely birthday visit with children and grandchildren. Best location and beautiful view.
This old house is large and has character. Best view and location, especially for children. Very clean and has all amenities. For guests from the wine regions, the glasses are just too small. At least three new, bigger glasses were left after two broke. Margaret is a wonderful hostess and her paintings are beautiful!

Disappointing.
No maintenance done on property for years. My friend's bed was so uncomfortable that she could not enjoy a peaceful night's rest. House is freezing. Two heaters did not work. Boiler turned off the power. It was replaced immediately after we brought it to the owner's attention. Water pipe was damaged by workers laying fiber internet pipeline, leaving us without water. Owner was so kind that she gave braai wood for free.

Hi Thea, ek is so jammer dat julle so ongelukkig was.
Die Ou Familie Strandhuis is 'n ou huis, maar ek hou die huis netjies en skoon. As gevolg van Covid, met sy beperkings die afgelope paar jaar, kon ek nie spandeer soos ek graag sou wou nie, maar die huis binne kort niks om lekker te kuier nie!
Ongelukkig was die dag toe julle hier arriveer het, 'n besonderse koue dag, maar daar is 5 verwarmers en 11 warmwater sakke in die huis. Die 2 paneelverwarmers het elk 'n skakelaar langs die kant, wat af was. Ek sou julle gehelp het, as julle net gesê het.
Die gebarste waterpyp was teen 9nm herstel.
Ek is gelukkig as my huurders gelukkig is en as hulle ongelukkig is, probeer ek iets daaraan doen, indien moontlik.
Ek hoop julle kuier en gesels het opgemaak vir dit wat julle ongelukkig gemaak het!

Thank you for a nice and comfortable guest house. It was very clean, tidy and everything you need is there. Wish we could stay longer. The weather was unfortunately very bad, but the house's plenty of space and indoor barbecue still make it a festival.

Very pleasant stay in a spacious house that is old but very clean.
We were 2 families with 7 children between 9 and 12. Everyone had a wonderful stay. It's close to the river and beach. The house and furniture are very old, but they are kept very clean, so it was perfectly adequate for us. The owner's house is a bit close on the same site, but it didn't bother us at all. March is a good time to go as it is not as busy.

Clean, tidy, spacious and a living nice holiday home.
We enjoyed our stay so much! The house is fully equipped, you can really only arrive with your suitcase of clothes. There is enough space for 2 to 3 families to stay comfortably without it feeling cramped. The enclosed porch and indoor barbecue is a winner and we had a great time. The linen and house are spotless, really have nothing to complain about. Thank you Margaret for your hospitality, we will definitely come again.

Fantastic family guesthouse with everything you need!
We were able to relax and enjoy the beach time with our two-year old without even worrying about her safety or if something was going to break. The place is nice and spacious for play time in side if the weather is bad and there is also space outside when the sun is out. The tidal pools across the road was definitely the highlight of our stay.

Die huis deel 'n erf met die eienaar se privaat woning. Dus, geen privaatheid nie. Eienaar het ons met arendsoog dopgehou.

The house shares a plot with the owner's private residence. So, no privacy. Owner watched us with eagle eye.
Although the house and contents were all old, it was handed over to us clean and tidy. We didn't really want a garden apartment, which is why we booked the house (at the last minute). Great was our disappointment that we nevertheless gave up our privacy. The owner lives in her house on the same plot! We were watched with eagle eyes. There is also no outdoor barbecue area. Even that would be awkward with the owner keeping an eagle eye on the movement in and out of The Old Family Beach House. The house caters for 11 people. We also found it strange that unused beds were not fully made - it's impersonal to find only one made in a room with three beds. No, next time I will research my investigation carefully.

Dankie vir die terugvoering. Met jare se goeie terugvoer oor die huis is ek baie teleurgesteld om te hoor dat mense dink ek hou hulle dop. Ek bly wel langsaan, maar dit is my grootste prioriteit om die huurders welkom en gemaklik te laat voel en te verseker dat hulle die lekkerste tyd op Stilbaai het en weer sal terugkom. Ek respekteer elke huurder se privaatheid as prioriteit. Die toegeboude stoep met uitsig op die rivier het ‘n binne-braai en daar is 'n braaidrom vir buite braai. Die weer daardie tyd was sodanig dat meeste mense binne gebraai het. Jammer vir die gebrek aan kommunikasie. Mense se behoeftes verskil en ek respekteer dit. Ek vra om verskoning as iets onduidelik is op die webtuiste.

Very relaxing although the heaters in the twin room did not work.
It was a nice getaway in the old beach house. Maybe just a warning should be given about the tap water. My husband became terribly ill from the tap water. We had to go to the pharmacy and there they recommended that we drink bottled water.
