Gerieflik en baie naby aan die see.

Wonderlike ligging! Huis is basies toegerus maar heel gerieflik.

Omdat die kuier werksverband was kon ek nie regtig die kuier ten volle geniet nie.

Daar is waterskade teen die 1 muur as gevolg van reënwater wat lek in die huis, dit moet reggestel word. Die area waar die huis geleë is, kan sekere persone 'n bietjie onveilig laat voel, veral die dames, maar ek kan eerlik sê ons het op enige staduim onveilig gevoel nie. Die agente van Dyers House het onder moelike onstandighede alles moontlik gedoen om ons te ondersteun waar hulle kan. Loadshedding stage 2 - 4, kragonderbreekings en DStv wat vervang moes word. Dankie, Michael.

Because the visit was work-related, I couldn't really enjoy the visit to the full.

There is water damage on 1 wall due to rainwater leaking into the house, this needs to be fixed. The area where the house is located can make certain people feel a bit unsafe, especially the ladies, but I can honestly say we didn't feel unsafe at all. The agents of Dyers House have done everything possible under difficult circumstances to support us where they can. Loadshedding stage 2 - 4, power cuts and DStv that had to be replaced. Thank you, Michael.

Dit was 'n ongelooflike unieke ervaring om in Kassiesbaai tuis te gaan. Daar was alles wat ons nodig gehad het.

Ons het soveel méér gekry as wat ons verwag het! 'n Goed toegeruste huis, skoon en modern ingerig, maar wat steeds die outentieke atmosfeer en karakter van 'n vissershuisie behou het. Die beste, wat ons nie verwag het nie, was die lieflike see-uitsig met die witgekalkte visserhuisies op die voorgrond wat ons vanaf ons stoepie kon geniet! Die Kassiesbaai-inwoners was vriendelik en gasvry teenoor die toeriste/besoekers wat eintlik hul outentieke en rustige manier van woon en werk sou kon versteur. Ons is ook binne een uur geholpe deur Suidpunt Sekuriteit nadat ons per ongeluk onsself uit die huisie gesluit het! Ons het nie vir 'n oomblik onveilig gevoel nie. Baie dankie vir uitstekende diens, en dan ook die inwoners van Kassiesbaai wat ons so vriendelik ontvang het. Dankie! Ons waardeer dit en sal vir seker weer teruggaan!

It was an incredibly unique experience to go home in Kassies Bay. There was everything we needed.

We got so much more than we expected! A well-equipped house, clean and modernly furnished, but still retaining the authentic atmosphere and character of a fisherman's cottage. The best, which we did not expect, was the lovely sea view with the whitewashed fishermen's houses in the foreground that we could enjoy from our veranda! The Kassies Bay residents were friendly and hospitable towards the tourists/visitors who would actually disturb their authentic and peaceful way of living and working. We were also helped within one hour by South Point Security after we accidentally locked ourselves out of the cottage! We didn't feel unsafe for a moment. Many thanks for excellent service, and then also the residents of Kassiesbaai who received us so kindly. Thank you! We appreciate it and will definitely go back again!

Great stay.

We had a very nice stay and the staff was helpful and friendly. I would suggest that some of the stuff in the house be replaced and upgraded. The balcony in the front of house should be made more secure.

But only to people who don't have asthma or chest issues.

Place had a terrible mouldy, musty, miff smell. It was really dusty. Cupboards had the same smell. It needs to be aired regularly. Might be due to thatch roof. It's a cute house, close to beach and hotel. Tranquil place. Enjoyed our walks to the beach each morning. We were warned of car break ins. Only one little boy tried his luck but we were all in the house so he got more of a fright than us. Upgrade the blankets. Bed was comfortable great nights sleep. Alarm went off and the security people did come out to check.

Dyers huis was loopafstand van die see.

Die huisie is lekker toegerus met alles wat jy benodig. Sal nogal lekker wees as daar WiFi kan wees. Anders het ons lekker gebly.

Very clean, but did not feel safe.

A local warned us that they will break in. The alarm went off around 11pm, and nobody called, came or even enquired why.

Perfekte plek vir ontspan.

Ons het drie aande bespreek by Dyers house. Die huis is volledig toegerus, skoon en is stap afstand van alles op die dorp en na die strand. Ons het ons kuier baie geniet.

Fantasties!

Dit was nou 'n wonderlike wegbreek. Kon nie vir beter gevra het nie. Dyers House en selfs die ligging was perfek. Waarde vir jou geld. Dyers House is baie goed ingerig en bied alles wat jy nodig het. Perfekte wegbreek vir enige groep. Baie dankie aan die eienaars. Ons kom beslis weer terug.

Authentic cottage. Basic but everything worked.

A traditional cottage by the sea. All household items including towels, and toilet paper need to be bought but we were warned about this. Within walking distance of good hotel bistro. Everyone very friendly.

By die see in geskiedkundige Kassiesbaai.

Ons het verskeie kere alreeds in Arniston tuisgegaan, maar telkens 'n ent van die see af. Ligging van Dyers House kan nie beter wees, dis goed toegerus, met ruim plek vir 5 mense. Ideaal vir 'n naweekwegbreek met die mooiste natuurskoon en rustigheid alles gratis.

At the beach in historic Kassiesbaai.

We have already stayed in Arniston several times, but always some distance from the sea. Location of Dyers House couldn't be better, it's well equipped, with ample space for 5 people. Ideal for a weekend getaway with the most beautiful scenery and tranquility all for free.

Snoesig en vol geskiedenis.

Heerlik naby die see geleë. Kaggel is lekker groot en gee die huisie 'n snoesige atmosfeer. Dit was lekker om deel te raak van die Kassiesbaai-gemeenskap. Die huisie het alles wat jy nodig het en alles was mooi skoon en netjies.

Snug and has lots of history.

Nice and close to the beach. The fireplace is nice and big and gives the house a snug atmosphere. It was nice to be a part of the Kassiesbaai community. The house has everything you need and was clean and neat.

Die kliëntediens kon help met nuwe verblyf.

Dyers House is nie geskik vir die doel waarvoor dit aangewend word nie. Dit skep 'n uiters swak indruk.
