Rustig veiling en too perfection.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Alles in werkende toestand en die erf was skoon en perfek vir ons skouhonde. Die braai op die stoep was 'n pluspunt. Sal weer daar bly.

Beautiful surroundings, comfortable space to unwind and relax.

This was our second stay at Fynbos. The cottage is comfortable and well-equipped. Swimming beach access is a little bit of a distance from the cottage, but walkable. At the price we paid for our weekend stay, we would definitely return more often.

Telleurstellend.

Die fotos op die webblad lyk glad nie soos die werklikheid nie. Die kombuis was uiters onhigiënies. Die badkamer lyk glad nie soos die gasheer dit voorstel nie. Daar is gekraakte teëls. Die kothuis se matte is vuil en een mat was stukkend. Die gasheer het glad nie kontak gemaak behalwe om aanwysings te stuur nie. Toe ek 'n vraag gehad het, het ek net 'n kort WhatsApp-terug ontvang, sonder enige regte belangstelling nie.

Disappointing.

The photos on the website do not look like reality at all. The kitchen was extremely unhygienic. The bathroom does not look at all like the host imagines. There are cracked tiles. The cottage's carpets are dirty and one carpet was broken. The host did not communicate at all except to send directions. When I had a question, I just received a short WhatsApp back, without any real interest.

Fynbos Cottage 's response

Dear Sonja,

I am sorry that you were disappointed. It’s a pity you gave no indication of this during your stay as we were in contact 3 times via WhatsApp. Once to give you directions, etc. The second time to make sure you got in and the third time to tell you how to get to the penguins. Had you let me know, I would have had the opportunity to rectify the things you weren’t happy with.

We were in contact again via WhatsApp after you left. I explained that we had upgraded the cottage by repainting it and putting in a new TV, stove and couch.

I also explained that the picture of the bathroom on the website is indeed the same bathroom as you can see the same shower handle above the bath. The picture of the other bathroom clearly says 'Fynbos2' underneath. You booked 'Fynbos1'. I was under the impression from your reply that you had accepted this explanation.

I apologise for the mat and it has already been replaced.

I am sorry that you didn’t find the place to be clean enough. We do have an average of 4 and 5 for cleanliness and an overall rating of 4 or 5.

Regards,
Amanda

We were there for a dog show and the garden is securely enclosed which was a must for our dog. Enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Betty's Bay can get very windy, the rattling of the chimney cowl was most disturbing, would be a good idea to investigate reducing the noise.

Baie rustige omgewing en die venue was baie gerieflik en netjies.

Die ontvangspersoon, Innocent, was behulpsaam en het ons vriendelik ontvang. Die kamers is ruim en modern en daar is genoeg slaapplek en beddegoed. Ek beveel egter aan dat die los klerekaste met ingeboude kaste vervang word om by die moderne styl te pas. Die leefarea is oopplan en sluit aan by die moderne kitchenette. Daar was genoeg sitplek in die woonvertrek met 'n gerieflike eetkamertafel en ons kon die Saterdagmiddag lekker daar saam met ons gas vir die dag kuier. Die braaigeriewe was perfek en ons het die middag 'n heerlike braai gehou. Daar was ook 'n sitkamerlamp wat tydens beurtkrag saans lig in die woonkamer gegee het, wat dit baie gerieflik gemaak het. Die tuin en grasperk was mooi versorg. Die area is stil en rustig en die kort naweekkuiertjie was aangenaam.

Very peaceful environment and the venue was very comfortable and tidy.

The receptionist, Innocent, was helpful and received us kindly. The rooms are spacious and modern and there is enough sleeping space and bedding. However, I recommend replacing the loose wardrobes with built-in wardrobes to match the modern style. The living area is open plan and connects to the modern kitchenette. There was enough seating in the living room with a comfortable dining table and we were able to spend the day there with our guest on Saturday afternoon. The braai facilities were perfect and we had a delicious braai in the afternoon. There was also a living room lamp that provided light in the living room during the night when charging, which made it very convenient. The garden and lawn were well maintained. The area is quiet and peaceful and the short weekend visit was pleasant.

Hello Johannes,

I did send you an email on the 6th of March with all the information you needed. You then phoned me on the 7th march and it was established that you had not received the email . I resent the email to the email address you sent me . Which was the same email address that I had sent the Previous email to

When you arrived I was at the cottage and I am the one who let you in.

Perhaps you were not aware that I was the owner but we were in contact several times either via email or telephonically.

I was not impressed however had to stay as payment was completed.

The stove is rusted. Cutlery not sufficient. Cheap pots no stainless steel bottoms, everything burns. The microwave and fridge (rusted) are old and looks tatty. New sleeping couch cheap and hecticly uncomfortable. This place needs to be upgraded as the daily rate is excessive for what the offering is. No linen or towel change in 2 weeks. Twintub washing machine in this day and age? No Wi-Fi at this day and age? Candles to use during loadshedding? In conclusion my worst experience and hard earned money wasted. Did not see the owner, had to deal with her helper. I am sure the owner made enough money to upgrade this place to another level.

Fynbos Cottage 's response

Hello Kobus, I am sorry to hear you were not happy. It is a pity that you made no mention of this during your stay as Inocent would surely have conveyed the message. When he asked you if everything was okay, you said you were loving it. The self-catering industry was severely affected by the pandemic and never really recovered. I went through the trouble to repaint in the interior of the cottage I which you said that it looks better than the pictures. I also bought a new cutlery and a new pan and I made sure there was 6 of everything. There are 2 load shedding bulbs which I believe Inocent showed you. He also informed me that you agreed to not have your towels or linen replaced as you brought your own. We also do not advertise that we have Wi-Fi.
Regards, Amanda.

Not what we expected.

The property did not meet our standards in general and furthermore, my view, is that it is situated on the "wrong side of the railway tracks", but at least within walking distance from the beach which is a positive. The cottage is due for a makeover and some cutlery items are in desperate need of replacing, but the correct type of items are provided. Sofa definitely due for a toss-out. Whilst the cottage appears clean on the surface, it turns out not to be the case. We had the terrible experience of bed bugs which the owner tried to make out as "mosquito bites" - which these weren't. A week has passed and the bite marks are still visible. I trust that the owner will resolve this matter in haste though. Otherwise, a comfortable cottage, if you are only looking for a bed to sleep in. Not ideal for the windy days where one will have to spend most of the time indoors. Innocent was amazing and assisted wherever he could, and promptly so. A pleasure to deal with him.

Fynbos Cottage 's response

Good Day Ilze

Thank you for your feedback. It is unfortunate that you only brought these matters to our attention on the last day of your 9 day stay otherwise we would have addressed them promptly.
We did not find any evidence of bed bugs but as a precautionary measure, we have fumigated and steam cleaned the entire cottage.
We regret that you were disappointed, but as the reviews will attest, our previous guests have thoroughly enjoyed their stay at Fynbos cottage, giving us an average 4.5 star rating.

Relaxing breakaway with the family.

Lovely setting, with the fireplace creating warmth. The kitchen utensils and bedding need to be replaced.

Verfrissend en kalm, en naby aan die see.

Die huis is lekker groot, van die oopplan-leefarea en kombuis, tot die kamers. Die kaggel in die leefarea is perfek geleë om die huis te verhit en 'n vakansie-atmosfeer te skep. Die tuin is baie mooi, veilig en omhein sodat ons 2 jarige kon in- en uitgaan om buite te speel soos wat hy wou. Daar is 'n tafel buite waar mens ook lekker maaltye saam kan geniet.

Refreshing and calm, and close to the sea.

The house is nice and big, from the open-plan living area and kitchen, to the rooms. The fireplace in the living area is perfectly located to heat the house and create a holiday atmosphere. The garden is very nice, safe and fenced so our 2 year old could go in and out to play outside as he wanted. There is a table outside where you can also enjoy nice meals together.

Heerlik samesyn en ontspanningsnaweek rondom braaivuur en wonderlike vriende.

Fynbos is 'n gesellige huisie met al die nodige benodighede. 'n Voorstel: 'n rubbermatjie in die bad om te verhoed dat persoon gly terwyl daar gestort word. Innocent is 'n vriendelike ontvangs en hulp. Hy het gou opgemerk dat oupa se kierie gaan vergeet.

Great togetherness and relaxing weekend around a barbecue and wonderful friends.

Fynbos is a cozy little house with all the necessary necessities. A suggestion: a rubber mat in the bath to prevent a person from slipping while showering. Innocent is a friendly reception and help. He soon noticed that grandfather was going to forget his cane.

If you are wanting a relaxing, clutch-out weekend, this is the place.

The lounge fireplace needs a bit of attention, hole in the chimney, and the one in the bedroom leaks when it rains. Also a leak in the ceiling in the kitchen.

Nie watwonders nie.

Die huiseienaar moet let op dinge wat stukkend is asb. bv. elektriese koord (multiplug), ketel, muurproppe - alles buite werking. Lekkende dak in kombuis - vloer sopnat na reën. Kaggel in kamer sopnat na reën. Ergste was die buurvrou se hond wat aanhoudend nag en dag geblaf het - ons moes met haar gaan praat daaroor terwyl die eienaar van Fynbos Cottage tuis was. Oorkant die straat was 'n mechanic wat 02:00 sy motorfiets start en bakkies regmaak. Die ligging is regtig swak - jammer daaroor. 'n Leë aansteker is gelos met 2 kerse vir beurtkrag. Dit kan potensiaal hê maar daar moet gelet word na detail/basics.

No wonder.

The home owner must pay attention to things that are broken please. e.g. electric cord (multiplug), boiler, wall plugs - all out of order. Leaky roof in kitchen - floor soaked after rain. Fireplace in room soaking wet after rain. The worst was the neighbour's dog, which kept barking day and night - we had to go and talk to her about it while the owner of Fynbos Cottage was at home. Across the street was a mechanic who starts his motorbike at 02:00 and fixes vans. The location is really poor - sorry about that. An empty lighter was left with 2 candles for load shedding. It may have potential but attention must be paid to detail/basics.

Fynbos Cottage 's response

When this guest arrived both the kettle and multi plug WORKED . They admitted that when they plugged her computer in the computer had made a crackling sound . This sounds like a power surge from the computer that affected the multi plug . We tested the multi plug with the kettle and the kettle worked. The next day I was informed that the multi plug no longer worked. I replaced it at my own cost . The next day I was informed that the kettle no longer worked. I replaced that too . Both these problems occurred as a direct result of her plugging the computer in . I have have tried every power point in the cottage and cannot find 1 that doesn’t work . We damp proofed the entire roof before the winter started and did our best . The fireplace does have a slight leak but definitely does not reach the floor . I am especially confused about the comments made by this guest as she was apologetic about the multi plug and kettle and still said to me upon leaving that they would definitely be back . We have a 5 star rating on TravelGround,.

Ongelooflike wegbreek!

Fynbos Cottage is 'n móét-besoek vir enige iemand wat 'n ongelooflike wegbreek en ruskans wil hê. Die ontvangs deur die baie bekwame en perfekte gasheer, Innocent, was die beste toon om die vakansie te begin. Ons het dadelik tuis gevoel. Die huis is heerlik sentraal geleë, 'n kort stappie van die strand en winkels. Dit is ook in 'n stil doodloopstraat, so geen verkeer. Alles was pragtig skoon en goed onderhou en Innocent was net 'n foonoproep weg as jy iets kort. Erf is heeltemal omhein so ons dierekinders het ook lekker gekuier. Ons kan nie wag vir ons volgende besoek nie!

Amazing getaway!

Fynbos Cottage is a must visit for anyone looking for an incredible break and break. The reception by the very capable and perfect host, Innocent, was the best tone to start the holiday. We immediately felt at home. The house is wonderfully centrally located, a short walk from the beach and shops. It's also on a quiet cul-de-sac, so no traffic. Everything was beautifully clean and well maintained and Innocent was only a phone call away if you needed anything. Yard is completely fenced so our animal children also had a good time. We can't wait for our next visit!

Lovely tranquil setting amongst the fynbos.

The house was very tastefully decorated, clean and the beds comfortable. We stayed in the back cottage (Fynbos 2) which had a larger enclosed garden, perfect for the 2 small dogs we brought with. We would've stayed on longer if it wasn't for the famous Cape Doctor which made going to the beach and most outdoor activities impossible. There is only 1 small general shop in Betty's Bay, which is expensive and sells only the bare essentials, so recommend that you stock up on groceries before heading off. There is however a SuperSpar in Kleinmond (15 km from Betty's Bay) which is open until 7 pm every day except Sunday (2 pm).

We loved the little cottage and Innocent was an absolute pleasure to deal with as he was friendly and very helpful.

The only negative the cottage had was the fact that the garage door did not lock and even though it was able to be pulled down we did not feel safe during the night being 2 woman alone as the inter leading door from the garage into the cottage did not have a security gate on it. My suggestion is to get the garage door fixed so that it can be locked as well as install a security gate on the inter leading door.

Thank you for your review Sandra. We are so pleased that you loved the Cottage.

Heerlik gerus en was gemaklik bederf in die kothuis.

Ek het lekker gekuier in die kothuis. Ek voel net as ons 2 of meer was, is R300 per persoon per nag dalk bietjie hoog. 'n Prys per nag vir 'n kothuis mag dalk meer aanloklik wees.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die huisie is 'n lekker grote en dit is baie nice dat daar 'n aparte toilet ook is.

Dit was baie lekker plek om te bly. Ek het wel twee goed wat ek aandag aan sal gee. Gedurende die dag is dit kook warm op die stoep met geen skadu, ons het ons eie skadunet opgesit. Die tweede slaapkamer se matrasse is baie dun. Dit was regtig nie ernstige goed nie, maar dink dit kan die plek net soveel lekkerder maak.
