One or two things can change. Came short of, but not a train smash.

Was cosy, the view was awesome.

Perfekte wegbreek vir net 'n bietjie ontspan.

Wat 'n fantastiese plekkie! Rustige atmosfeer, nie net kon ons die see sien nie, maar kon hom hoor ook. Lekker sentraal geleë en die see was stapafstand. Baie skoon en netjies. Alhoewel die eenheid op die eienaar se perseel geleë is, was ons heeltemal privaat en afgesonder. Perfekte wegbreek en die eienaars was super vriendelik. Sal Fisherman's Watch definitief aanbeveel vir enige persoon wat op soek is na 'n lekker wegbreek uit die stad uit.

Perfect getaway for just a little relaxation.

What a fantastic place! Peaceful atmosphere, not only could we see the sea, but we could hear it too. Nice and central location and the sea was within walking distance. Very clean and tidy. Although the unit is located on the owner's property, we were completely private and secluded. Perfect getaway and the owners were super friendly. Would definitely recommend Fisherman's Watch to anyone looking for a nice getaway from the city.

Couldn't have been better - absolutely perfect.

Stunning views of the beach, exactly like the pictures. Go to sleep with the waves crashing and wake up to the gentle train horns. Neat and tidy, even a supply of essentials like dish soap and toilet paper. The host was very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect if you plan a several-day stay covering everything from the Boulders, Cape Point, and Simons Town penguins to shopping in Kalk Bay.

Thanks for the kind words, Sandy. It was a pleasure meeting you and your girls - and a real bonus establishing the connection with your Dad.
You will always be welcome back!

Good nice stay.

It was a nice, comfy place, quiet area and safe. The only thing to complain about was the shower drain was clogged and the kettle did not work properly.

Fisherman's Watch 's response

Hi Michelle,
Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention.
The shower drain has been blown clear and flows quickly now. The kettle works, but the automatic cut-off doesn't return the switch to the off position.
The unit has now been replaced.

A glorious view to enjoy the ocean and mountains.

We woke every morning to the sun, the cats, and the glorious view. Very comfortable house and very friendly hosts. Helped carry our luggage up and down the stairs. And, we were able to wash our clothing after 3 weeks of travelling through the country free of charge.

Bathroom was infested with ants.

See stars.

Fisherman's Watch 's response

I'm sorry you didn't bring this to our attention when you were here! Or maybe the infestation had moved on pretty rapidly before you left?
The Argentine ant is prolific in the south peninsula and spends a great deal of time trying to find water. We clean the flat thoroughly before and after each guest and found no sign of ants or ants' nests in the bathroom subsequent to your visit.
We have placed an ant trap there now to ensure this "infestation" doesn't reoccur.

Dit was 'n onvergeetlike naweek!

Die verblyf by Fisherman's Watch was aangenaam en die omgewing is baie baie rustig. Die mense op die perseel is vriendelik en help graag as jy hulp soek. Net die klomp trappe was 'n lekker oefensessie.

Oorweeg om sommige meubels op te gradeer. Dit sal die plekkie net nog meer gewild maak.

Netjiese, goed toegeruste eenheid, als in werkende toestand, goeie ligging met mooi uitsig.

Die wooneenhied is goed toegerus met als wat nodig is vir gerieflike selfsorgverblyf. Goeie waarde vir geld. George (eienaar) was baie hulpvaardig en vriendelik. Goeie verblyfopsie vir so 2-3 dae in Vishoek.

The unit was in clean condition, quite spacious and very well equipped.

The hosts are lovely people and very helpful. Fisherman's Watch has installed solar panels etc. - so a very big bonus is that when power outages take place the Wi-Fi etc. is not affected. We are a middle aged couple, but found the steps down to the unit very steep.

Very peacefully and quiet, with an exceptional, stunning view, would have experienced more of the surrounding walks but unfortunately the weather didn't play along. As for our host, very friendly.

Rustige en veilige verblyf.

Ons het 6 dae gebly. Die woonstel is volledig toegerus en redelik modern. Alles was netjies skoon met ekstra skoonmaakmiddels beskikbaar en selfs 'n wasmasjien wat baie handig te pas gekom het. Sal graag weer daar tuisgaan.
