Wonderful.
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Festina Lente and it truly felt like a home away from home. The hospitality and peaceful atmosphere made our stay absolutely worth it. The location was perfect for exploring Onrus. We can highly recommend Festina. This is a gem that exceeded our expectations in every way. We will definitely return. All I regretted was the short time we spent there. The beds are deliciously soft, it feels like you are sleeping on a cloud. Another big plus is that my two four-legged friends could go along and they had so much fun exploring the yard! Many thanks to our hostess for making us feel so at home.

Ag baie dankie, Stephanie, jy laat ons effe verleë voel oor al die mooi woorde. Dis so lekker om te hoor dat gaste ook die rustigheid daar ervaar - ons bedank die voëltjies en paddatjies ook dat hulle julle en die hondekinders verwelkom het. Ons hoop julle kan volgende keer langer kuier. Groete tot dan.

Alconray, baie dankie vir jou aanbeveling. Ons dink ook Festina Lente in Onrus beskryf presies wat gaste daar kan doen - direkte vertaling uit Latyns "wees gou rustig in Onrus". Ons sien uit na julle volgende besoek.

Very nice visit, only the weather that came to play along on the last day.
It's a perfect holiday home, one we definitely want to return to for longer than a weekend. Only recommendation would be for a covered braai area. There are so many good books, the sea is around the corner, shops within walking distance. Festina Lente definitely sees me again.

Festina Lente exceeded our expectations, a compact but well-designed house that is excellently equipped, wonderfully comfortable beds and bath facilities, comfortable indoor and outdoor areas, good books to read - also for the children - and a surprising collection of DVDs! The kitchen is somewhat small, but well equipped with a sophisticated hob and oven. Lindie as hostess is friendly and supportive and all her arrangements work smoothly. The accommodation is affordable. Highly recommended!

Small, but comfortable.
Had a great time. The place was close to the beach and there was a small playground near the house for the children. The living area and kitchen are smaller than the photos indicate and the upstairs floors cracked when you walk on them. There was no place to store clothes in the rooms. Could do with extra blankets and pillows, was very cold in the evenings. The upper living area "loft" was very well equipped with books and DVDs and could have a nice time there, but would like to suggest that better safety arrangements be made, especially with small children. The hostess was great and we could communicate with her easily. There was a lot of information available about the house and surroundings.

It was relaxing, delicious and tastefully decorated yet homely. The many bathrooms are definitely great! I will definitely go back again.
We felt at home. I really felt I could relax there, rest and I enjoyed my time there. During the reservation, I didn't realize that one side of the house bordered the main street and it was sometimes a bit noisy, but we were mostly downstairs because we were few people. I think if there are a lot of people, you will want to visit more upstairs and then the outside doors on the visiting side are not noisy at all, with a nice view of the mountain. The library was great and we didn't want to watch TV once. I will only take more people next time, for two people the house was too big. The fact that I could take my dogs with me (and know they are safe, with no way out) meant a lot to me personally.

Dankie vir jou opregte en openlike terugvoer en jou praktiese voorstelle. Ons sal beslis dink aan maniere om die geraas aan die straat se kant van die huis te verminder; miskien sal ons die boonste bed na die ander kant van die huis toe skuif.
Ons sien beslis uit na jou, jou dierekinders en jou vriende se volgende besoek, want julle is model-gaste!

Artistic, cozy interior immediately says "welcome!" and discovering good books and DVDs makes one want to stay.
Our hostess was personally available by phone and online from the first day and made us feel particularly at home. The location is close enough for the teenagers to the local beaches and pools and within a short drive to the Hermanus beaches, where my grandson sometimes chose to go surfing. The girls had fun working on their tans and enjoyed getting exercise by walking/jogging. I have been sitting quietly knitting and reading and recovering from back surgery! Have fun grilling/hanging out in the sheltered garden lapa outside!
