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

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.

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.

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.

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,.

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!
