Was 'n aangename kuier.

Baie lekker gewees. Die huis is in 'n stil omgewing geleë.

Awesome togetherness.

Stay was well enjoyed and comfortable, apart from one bunk mattress being too soft, but otherwise very clean and central to our daily journeys and visits to other family in De Kelder, Perlemoen Baai and Franskraal.

It was very nice.

We had a nice stay. THAT was all we needed. The bunk bed is not scary for a 17 year old boy.

Ongelooflik, die diens is puik en Liesl en Lizette was ongelooflik behulpsaam!

Ons het as 'n gesin besluit om van Bloemfontein en Vanderbijlpark bietjie tyd in die Wes-Kaap te spandeer. Ons het die groot huis bespreek waar almal soggens bymekaargekom het en saans na hulle eie wonings vertrek. My skoonma, skoonpa en swaer het daar oornag. Die huis is toegerus met moontlik alles wat nodig mag wees. Ons sal verseker weer bespreek by Liesl! Baie dankie vir julle gasvryheid!

Unbelievable, the service is great and Liesl and Lizette were incredibly helpful!

We decided as a family to spend some time in the Western Cape from Bloemfontein and Vanderbijlpark. We booked the big house where everyone gathered in the morning and left for their own homes in the evening. My mother-in-law, father-in-law and brother-in-law spent the night there. The house is equipped with possibly everything that may be needed. We will definitely book again with Liesl! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

Versteekte juweel!

Op die oog af lyk Driftwood na net nog 'n eenheid, maar dis wanneer jy jou tuismaak voor die vuurtjie op die stoep dat jy die mooie see-uitsig en sonsondergange waardeer. Die eenheid is stapafstand van die strand, stapafstand van 'n goed-toegeruste kafeetjie en Gansbaai se groter winkels is net om die draai. Absoluut waarde vir geld. Ons kom kuier weer.

Translate to English.

Hidden gem!

On the surface, Driftwood looks like just another unit, but it's when you make yourself at home in front of the fire on the porch that you appreciate the beautiful sea view and sunsets. The unit is walking distance from the beach, walking distance from a well-equipped cafe and Gansbaai's larger shops are just around the corner. Absolutely value for money. We will visit again.

Goed geleë met die nodigste. Die tweede slaapkamer het egter aandag nodig.

Daar was vlekke op my laken (op die stapelbed) wat die indruk wek dat die beddegoed dalk nie silwerskoon is nie. Iets soos plekmatjies vir eet by die ontbyttoonbank sou ook goed gewees het. Dit was nogal steurend dat die gasheer en die persoon wie die sleutels moes kom afhaal nie seker gemaak het wanneer ons uitboek nie. Ons het alarmerende WhatsApps ontvang van altwee partye wat op ons tweede dag gevra wat ons met die sleutels gemaak het.

Translate to English.

Well located with the essentials. However, the second bedroom needs attention.

There were stains on my sheet (on the bunk bed) which gives the impression that the bedding may not be spotless. Something like place mats for eating at the breakfast counter would have been good too. It was quite disturbing that the host and the person who had to come to collect the keys did not check when we checked out. We received alarming WhatsApps from both parties asking what we had done with the keys on our second day.

Ons was 'n gesin met 'n 2 jarige kleinkind vir 6 nagte.

Die eienaar Liesel was baie tegemoetkomend en vriendelik in ons kommunikasie. Die agent wat die sleutel voorsien het, was net so vriendelik. Die krag wat so af was, beïnvloed natuurlik enige vakansie en ek sal aanbeveel dat die eienaars meer voorsiening maak om dit makliker te maak vir huurders met gastoestelle, meer herlaaibare batteryliggies, ens. Dit sou natuurlik wonderlik gewees het as die braai op die stoep meer beskut was, veral met klein kinders en die winderige weer. Om saam te vat, was dit aangename akkommodasie, vriendelike diens en sal ek dit aanbeveel.

We were a family with a 2 year old grandchild for 6 nights.

The owner Liesel was very accommodating and friendly in our communication. The agent who provided the key was just as friendly. The power being out like this obviously affects any holiday and I would recommend that the owners make more provision to make it easier for tenants with gas appliances, more rechargeable battery lights etc. Of course, it would have been great if the braai on the porch was more sheltered, especially with small children and the windy weather. In summary, it was pleasant accommodation, friendly service and I would recommend it.

Nice stay. Nice decor for sea view cottage. View excellent. Got exactly what was advertised.

Storm conditions (wind and rain) no shelter or indoor braai facilities. Water blows in at the front door. Sufficiently equipped for summer conditions.
