We absolutely loved our stay! This was our 2nd time back.

Absolutely fantastic! Would recommend to anyone who loves fishing and relaxing by the ocean. You completely feel at home when you are here. The only downfall is my time is never enough. My family and fur babies enjoyed this spot. Trust me, you will not go wrong booking this place. Aside from being beautiful, it is a great way to take your mind off the busy city life. We will definitely be back for the 3rd time!

It was such a pleasure to host Justene and family once again. It was sad to see them leave, and we do look forward to welcoming them again any time. Thank you so much, Justene, for such a lovely review. Stay blessed.

'n Stukkie hemel op aarde vir sielsvreugde.

As jy opsoek is na 'n rusplek met onverbeterlike see-uitsig en bowenal dierevriendelik is, dan is hierdie Beach Cottage die plek om te besoek. Ons was bevoorreg om die dolfyne vanaf die stoep te sien en ons hondjie het heerlik op die strand baljaar. Die stort buite maak dit gerieflik om die sand van alle pote af te was en die Cottage beskik oor al die basiese fasiliteite wat jy nodig het. Baie dankie aan Jean-Paul vir jul gasvryheid en inligting waar om die beste samoosas te kry! Ons het 2 weke se pure plesier geniet!

A piece of heaven on earth for the joy of the soul.

If you are looking for a place to rest with unbeatable sea views and above all, is pet friendly, then this Beach Cottage is the place to visit. We were privileged to see the dolphins from the veranda and our puppy had a great time playing on the beach. The outside shower makes it convenient to wash the sand off all paws and the Cottage has all the basic facilities you need. Many thanks to Jean-Paul for your hospitality and information on where to get the best samoosas! We enjoyed 2 weeks of pure pleasure!

Fantastic view, comfortable cottage. Felt safe and relaxed. Would definitely return.

A fantastic view, even from the lounge/dining room. A very neat, comfortable cottage. The walls/fence on either side of the patio help greatly on windy days. Having the owners next door added to the feeling of safety. Owners are very helpful but not intrusive. The access to the beach directly below the cottage is fine for the fit/able but not for unfit/disabled people. However, we felt that this adds to the security. Southport Beach, a blue flag beach, is a short 2 km drive away with sea swimming and a lovely tidal pool for both adults and children. We have recommended Galene Beach Cottage and would love to stay again.

Perfect family getaway. Clean, comfortable cottage with everything we need.

Our stay at Galene cottage was absolutely wonderful. This beautifully maintained property proved perfect for our family of 5, offering all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is a major highlight - situated in a peaceful, quiet area just a short distance from South Port beach, making it ideal for family beach outings. The cottage was impeccably clean and well maintained throughout. What truly made our stay special were the hosts, who welcomed us with such warmth that we felt like part of their family. Their hospitality added an extra special touch to our experience. The proximity to the beach combined with the tranquil surroundings created the perfect balance for a relaxing family getaway. Having all necessary amenities at hand meant we could focus entirely on enjoying our time together. We will definitely visit again! Would highly recommend Galene cottage to any family looking for a peaceful, comfortable stay near the beach with exceptional hosts.

Awesome place, fantastic views and extremely loving owners.

The owners of the place are amazing hosts. They made us feel absolutely at home. This place is pet friendly. The backyard of the property has direct access to a very clean beach. We had a situation where we were locked inside. The owner went over and above to ensure that we were out of the situation. They have suggested good places to visit and to eat. The property is very clean and has all the basics that you'd need on a holiday. The house is so artistically designed. Thanks for making us feel at home. We'd definitely visit you again.

Thank you so much, Ravi, it was such a pleasure to have you all here. You have such a beautiful and loving family. We would love to have you back for a longer stay.
