It felt like I was coming home.
I had a wonderful stay. My animals were welcome, so much so that my cat decided to stay behind! The pool is a big plus. The representation is nowhere near the amenities offered - for once not a misrepresentation.

Very remote but peaceful and safe. Nice view, but far from the beach.
Very nice stay. It is a bit far from the sea and with the floods and storms the beach was very messy full of logs, rubbish, reeds etc., but it is very beautiful and peaceful there. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place.

The accommodation was neat and the fact that our two Pekingese dogs could go together makes me recommend Driftwood Chalets even more, especially for people who don't go on holiday without their four-legged children.

Stay was nice except for the shower leaking and the power being faulty. They can make a canopy over the porch to make the braai more comfortable. The beach needs a lot of attention and cleaning.

Extremely weak! Will never go there again.
The main gate is on a hill which hinders parking in front of the gate when the gate has to be opened manually. Car doesn't work. When we arrived there was no one to show us the place to stay. I accidentally discovered the key to the unit after a few hours hanging from the sliding door's top safety lock behind the dirty curtains. The unit itself was quite clean under the circumstances. The unit is neglected and needs work. The interior doors have been pulled loose and one has a hole in it. The toilet door was painted, albeit broken, and the oil paint was still wet. The furniture is dirty and of poor quality. There is no toilet paper and/or garbage can or bags. The outdoor bin is overflowing and has rotted. No broom, mop or dishcloth. The ants covered our cooler within an hour of our arrival. The ceiling and walls have no finish and large holes show. The AC is on a prepaid meter, so if you want to turn on AC you have to purchase power yourself. Parking was a big problem for everyone there. The owner was unpolished and like a waffer sergeant was throwing around orders about who should "park" where so that her "beams" wouldn't be blocked, because she said, "There's a guy breaking in there". She demanded that we remove the placemats so our dogs wouldn't spill on them. It was a pet-friendly unit that we booked. Needless to say, we left before 9am the next morning.

It is a very nice area, quiet and not disturbed.
We were quite a large group of people. We enjoyed it very much. The price was pretty good too. But the house is falling apart a little bit. Wall plugs are loose and hanging out of the wall. Some wall plugs don't even work. Bricks above sliding door are loose and hanging there, looking like they could fall on your head at any moment. We had the biggest house of all and not even a washing machine. There are pipes and plugs ready for the washing machine but no washing machine. Some panes cannot be opened and some cannot be fastened, their brackets are broken. We were very disappointed about the purchasing power. 90% of vacation spots we've been to include your power in the price. I find it quite unreasonable and the house's power was inhumanly heavy. We were 10 people yes, but we are very energy conscious and thrifty, we know how expensive power is, and with all our power saving techniques we applied we still had to pay R550 for power for 11 days. Now for people like us, who are on a tight budget, R550 just for power on holiday is ridiculous.

Don't get what you paid for, and owner selectively friendly, grumpy and shows little effort to help.
Accommodation replaced with other accommodation. Unorganized, after we confirmed in advance about arrangements and accommodation. Nevertheless, replacement accommodation was neat and clean, wooden sofas a bit uncomfortable, linen clean, pillows looked like they had stains. Kitchen has all necessities for self-catering. Nice view. No place to hang towels. Need more parking. Gate to beach very rusted, difficult to open. Owner friendly, but not always.
