Jy was nie by Hondeklipbaai as jy nie by Fisherman's Cottage gebly het nie!

Die lekkerste verblyf van ons hele reis was by die Fisherman's Cottage! Dis superskoon, uitstekend ingerig en pragtig - binne en buite! Groot bederf om daar te kon bly!

Net-net aanvaarbaar onder omstandighede.

Waterprobleem in die badkamers, feitlik geen druk nie. Die waterdruk in die kombuis is bevredigend. Die probleem was teenwoordig die hele tyd tydens ons verblyf. Pompe agter die huis is oud en baie verwaarloos en kort bietjie aandag. Sal verkies om maar eerder by 'n ander plek te bespreek totdat die probleem opgelos is.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Just acceptable under the circumstances.

Water problem in the bathrooms, practically no pressure. The water pressure in the kitchen is satisfactory. The problem was present the whole time during our stay. Pumps behind the house are old and very neglected and need some attention. Would prefer to book elsewhere until the issue is resolved.

Na 'n baie lang tyd van geen of net 'n bietjie water, is die tanks deur 'n warboel van lug en sediment onder in die tanks wat deur die stelsel is. Alles is uitgesorteer en werk weer 100%! Julle is enige tyd welkom! Die tanks is weer vol!

Dit is vir seker akkommodasie wat ons kan aanbeveel.

Baie netjiese gastehuis wat loopafstand van die see en restaurante is. Die eienaars was baie behulpsaam toe ons, ons vasgery het teen die rivier waar die brug weggespoel het. Hulle het gereël dat ons deur die myn se gronde kon ry tot op Hondeklipbaai. Jacqueline, ons gasvrou, is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam sy het self vir ons verduidelik waar al die besienswaardighede is. Ons kan Fishermans Cottage hoog aanbeveel. Dankie vir 'n lekker kuier.

This is definitely accommodation we can recommend.

Very neat guest house that is within walking distance of the sea and restaurants. The owners were very helpful when we crashed into the river where the bridge washed away. They arranged that we could drive through the mine's grounds to Hondeklip Bay. Jacqueline, our hostess, is very friendly and helpful, she herself explained to us where all the sights are. We can highly recommend Fishermans Cottage. Thank you for a nice visit.

Vriendelike diens, pragtige see-uitsig met die lekkerste binnebraai!

Ons het op die nipper besluit om twee dae vroeër na Fisherman's Cottage toe te gaan en Mariette was so behulpsaam om dit vir ons te reël. Jaqui het ons ontvang by die cottage, super vriendelik en het als mooi reg gehad vir ons. Fisherman's Cottage is baie goed toegerus en die beddegoed was top kwaliteit. Ons sal verseker weer Fisherman's Cottage besoek.

We decided on the spur of the moment to go to Fisherman's Cottage two days early and Mariette was so helpful in arranging this for us. Jaqui received us at the cottage, super friendly and had everything ready for us. Fisherman's Cottage is very well equipped and the bedding was top quality. We will definitely visit Fisherman's Cottage again.

Location.

The location of the cottage does not match up to the description. Hondeklipbaai has very little to offer the visitor and the poverty of the local population is quite depressing. Fisherman's Cottage was acceptable to stay in. The view of the sea is fairly far from the cottage and includes a number of RDP homes.

Fisherman's Cottage got everything you need.

We enjoyed the inside braai but they have to look at the outside patio area as it is not possible to sit outside and braai with the wind. Overall we enjoyed the well-equipped cottage and the beds were very comfortable.

Gemaklik en stylvol.

Hierdie huisie is 'n lieflike verrassing in die verlate seedorpie. Dit voel asof mens teruggaan in tyd met die netjiese ou huisie, en tog is dit toegerus met al die moderne dinge wat jy ooit kan nodig hê. Ons was bederf deur sjerrie wat vir ons wag op die koue dag wat ons daar aangekom het, en die bestuurder het selfs later vir ons 'n vars, tuisgebakte broodjie gebring. Boek hier as jy wil wegkom van alles, maar nogsteeds in veiligheid en gemak wil bly.

Comfortable and stylish.

This little house is a lovely surprise in the deserted seaside village. It feels like going back in time with the neat old house, and yet it is equipped with all the modern things you could ever need. We were spoiled with sherry waiting for us on the chilly day we arrived, and the manager even brought us a fresh, home-baked sandwich later. Book here if you want to get away from it all, but still want to stay in safety and comfort.

Fisherman's Cottage is 'n perfekte oornag vir 2 pare wat Hondeklipbaai beter wil verken.

Beste verblyf in Hondeklipbaai, naby alles, stapafstand van al die restaurante, selfs Sptitfire klip is 'n heerlike stappie weg. Die plek is baie netjies, beddens slaap heerlik, alle geriewe beskikbaar en die stoepie met die uitsig oor die baai het 'n fantastiese sundowner spot geword elke aand na 'n harde 4x4 roete!

Ons wou net daar slaap en vir aandete na 'n restaurant gaan.

Die advertensies meld dat daar meer as een restaurant op Hondeklipbaai is maar meld nie dat nie een in die blomseisoen oop sal wees na vieruur nie. Mense wat die plek nie ken nie behoort beter ingelig te word.
