It was great. The children loved the pool and beach.

It was great. The children loved the pool and beach. The sad part was that the power went out for 4-5 hours.

Lekker uitgerus - home away from home.

Ons het 'n wonderlike vakansie gehad. Die huis en tuin was netjies en skoon, en alles wat ons nodig gehad het, was daar. Ons was ingelig oor die beurtkrag skedule, en die huishulp was baie behulpsaam. Ons sal enige tyd weer teruggaan. Baie dankie.

Well rested - home away from home.

We had a wonderful holiday. The house and garden were neat and clean, and everything we needed was there. We were informed about the load shedding schedule, and the housekeeper was very helpful. We would go back again anytime. Thank you very much.

Rustig, gerieflik, baie lekker en net te kort.

Ek sal graag weer terugkeer na hierdie lieflike huis. Ruim leefareas, genoeg kamers en badkamers met 'n groot stoep, braai-area en swembad. Direkte strandtoegang en veilig. Al die huishoudelike toerusting wat mens se rustyd net vergemaklik. Die plek het ons verwagtinge oortref.

Quiet, comfortable, very nice and just too short.

I would love to return to this lovely home again. Spacious living areas, enough rooms and bathrooms with a large veranda, braai area and swimming pool. Direct beach access and safe. All the household equipment that makes one's rest time easier. The place exceeded our expectations.

Wonderlik.

Die huisie het genoeg spasie vir 'n groot gesin. Genoeg om klein kinders mee besig te hou.

Lovely.

Such an amazing time was had by all. The ease of access to the beach, which was beautiful and clean, made fishing and play so easy. The home is well maintained, with everything you could possibly need provided. I have already recommended Driftwood to other family and friends.

Will definitely go back.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house and location are great. If I had any comments, it would be that a few things need modernising - i.e. kitchen drawers, painting in bedroom cupboards, but this didn't detract from our stay at all. We didn't get the WiFi password from Happiness, but I should have followed up with her.

Clean, neat, tidy, great beach access and pool.

The property was clean and neat with everything you would require. The beach was a few steps away and the pool was great. The on-site caretaker was not the most friendly person, but overall a decent stay. Be sure to carry your own detergents, etc. WiFi is on-site but coverage (if any) is only good for WhatsApp messaging. Mariki was a pleasure to talk to!

Relaxing but also had disappointments that I've mentioned.

The accommodation and facilities are beautiful, as well as access to the beach and supermarket being convenient. The exception was the kitchen with really sticky pulling drawers and crawling bugs; I guess it's due to the warmer month now. The pools were murky and green. Mariki, who lives off-site, was very friendly and ready to assist, doing her best at the time, and also tried to make up for the issues. The accommodation definitely requires site visits, as Happiness and the gardener are definitely not doing what they should be. We bought bug spray. Happiness just left half a can of Doom with family, pensioners, for the bugs and left who were at the accommodation at the time. If I do recommend the place, I will ensure that friends and family check that all is resolved first.

Beautiful place.

We really had an awesome time at Driftwood Seaview. My kids loved that there was a gate leading us to a safe and beautiful beach, the rooms were clean and spacious enough. Most of all, we had everything we needed right there at the cottage, so we were all very entertained. Definitely recommend it to people who love having fun with their family.

Awesome.

This place is something else. I really enjoyed my stay, although it was too short. I will be booking in soon for a much longer stay. The place is very clean and safe, and the beach is just 10 steps away. That's so cool. Thanks, it was really the best place that my family had been to.

Relaxing getaway.

Exceptionally beautiful house with direct access to the beach. Plants at outside picnic bench and table have grown a bit high so can't see ocean from there. Other than that it was perfect. Will definitely be back.

Die plek is ongelooflik lekker. Die nethheid van die woning en erf is onbeskryflik.

Sonder om te skroom sal ons die plek hoogs aanbeveel en beslis geen ander plek gebruik as ons weer in die omgewing is nie. Dit is van hoë waarde.

The place is incredibly nice. The cleanliness of the house and yard is indescribable.

Without hesitation we would highly recommend the place and definitely not use another place if we are in the area again. It is of high value.

We had an amazing time at this beautiful and comfortable accommodation.

We had the best time at the Driftwood Seaview accommodation. We were especially grateful for the warm and accommodating reception on the first day. Thereafter, we enjoyed all the venue had to offer, from the scenery to the facilities. We will definitely be visiting the Driftwood Seaview accommodation in the future.

Beautiful family beach house.

We enjoyed our weekend at Driftwood. The house is beautiful, neat and clean and fully equipped. The perfect little getaway spot for family time. The beach is just a few steps away. Love the patio! The only downside was the long hours of loadshedding in the Southport area, and unfortunately during loadshedding the showers, toilets and taps cannot be used.

Driftwood Seaview 's response

Thank you for the lovely review. Yes, the load shedding is an issue. It doesn't help we have the JoJo and can't use it. Hopefully, with your next visit, things will have improved.
Kind regards

Stresvrye kuier.

Heerlik gekuier. Baie sentraal geleë. Net jammer oor die lawaaierige dronk bure wat ons 3 aande uit die slaap gehou het.

Great stay, right on the beach and great amenities.

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The beach is steps away and it's lovely to just hear the sound of the ocean, especially as you go to sleep at night. Security is good and facilities overall very comfortable. Will definitely be back.
