We had a great time despite the few obstacles.
The agent who arranged the stay for us did not properly transfer the booking to the owner of the property. When we got there they didn't know about the reservation and they weren't ready to receive us. It was very inconvenient, we drove far and everyone needed the bathroom. When we were finally able to check in, they paid good attention and cleanliness. The places were very clean, the sheets were pure white and everything inside was well taken care of. But. The advertisement on the website does not really give a true picture of where the accommodation is located. I immediately fell in love with the photos on the website. The idea that we were going to be on a farm in the middle of nowhere was very appealing, but the truth is something completely different. They certainly had a very good photographer. You are not in the middle of nowhere on a farm like the pictures sell you. There is a complex with big houses between you and the sea and there is a wire fence around the complex that prevents you from getting to the sea. The cottages are very small, but well equipped for a weekend away. Wood is included and Piet (the owner) was very nice and a good host. The double beds are comfortable, but the sofa beds definitely need an upgrade. To sell DuykersRus and Uilsnes as houses that sleep 4 gives the wrong idea and that each house is suitable for 2 couples. It's not, the bedrooms don't have doors, which makes it difficult even for a household with teenagers. It's another one of those cases where they fit as many people in as possible so they can raise the price. None of the cottages are really suitable for more than 2 people. A couple with 1 child could potentially work. Tolbossie's glass door doesn't close properly and while we were there it rained. Considering all these things, the place is not good value for money, especially since there are many other places in the area that offer better value.

Hi Daar,
Daar was 'n klein kommunikasie glipsie van my kant af (die agent). Ek het dit wel genoem aan die gaste en hulle is gevra om onmiddelik terug te kom. As jy die location van die Gasteplaas gaan kyk op google asook die kaart van Lekkerslaap sal jy sien dat dit nie in die middel van nerens is nie, en reg langs die Cape St Martin Privaat Natuur Reservaat. Jy kan ook die huise op die fotos sien. Die huise is ook nie op die plaas tussen ou nie, maar op die ontwikkel langs aan die plaas. Die fotos is baie mooi, baie dankie. Ek het hulle sommer met my selfoon geneem. Die beskrywing van die eenhede se dat hulle 1 slaapkamer eenhede is met 1 dubbel bed en 'n slaap bank. Dit word uitdruklik genoem sodat gaste weet wat daar is. Jammer as julle verblyf so ongerieflik was.
Groete,
Sune
