Die beste see wegbreek.

Die beste uitsig uit jou bed vanaf die boonste verdieping! Dis priceless. Ons het nou vir die 2de keer by Gull Cottage gebly en was aangenaam verras oor die opknappings.

Perfect getaway!

It was the perfect getaway for our family! The view from the top bedroom was beautiful. Although pet friendly, there was no gate/fence, which made it a bit tricky. Otherwise, it was an ideal spot to stay.

Enjoyable weekend getaway.

As a group of friends, we really enjoyed our weekend stay. The view of the mountains from the lounge and the view of the sea from upstairs are great. The fireplace kept us warm and sharing a meal around the big table was enjoyable. Be aware that the booking site says there are 2 king beds when actually there's only 1 (upstairs). The other is a Queen bed. Also, for the 6 adults, there wasn't enough comfortable seating in the lounge. The one couch was old and wasn't very comfortable either.

Ideale wegbreekplekkie.

Die huis, hoewel bietjie oud, is ideaal geleë met 'n wonderlike uitsig oor die see en op die berge. Die rustigheid het ons goed gedoen, selfs die tieners het dit geniet en ons kat ook.

Gull Cottage het al ons verwagtinge oortref.

Die kothuis is gelee in 'n baie stil cul-de-sac met die mooiste uitsig oor dei see en berg! Die rotsstrand is 'n paar tree weg en die swemstrand binne 10 minute se stap! Die huis is heerlik ingerig met alles wat ons nodig het, inkluis 'n gasstoof wat baie handig was gedurende beurtkrag. Ons sal beslis weer hier kom bly. En ons hondekinders was welkom en het hulself terdeë geniet!

Gull Cottage exceeded all our expectations.

The cottage is located in a very quiet cul-de-sac with the most beautiful view of the sea and mountain! The rocky beach is a few steps away and the swimming beach within a 10 minute walk! The house is beautifully furnished with everything we need, including a gas stove which was very handy during load shedding. We will definitely stay here again. And our dog children were welcome and thoroughly enjoyed themselves!

Perfekte ligging. Baie rustig.

Met die see van voor en die berge agter, fynbos reg rondom, weg van die geraas en gewoel kon ons nie vir 'n beter naweek verblyf gevra het nie. Perfek en goeie waarde vir geld. Sal beslis weer bespreek.

Heerlik rustig.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die huis is baie goed toegerus en die uitsig van bo af is lieflik. Die trappe boontoe is nogal steil, so nie geskik vir oumense nie. Die uitsig van die see is onder baie beperk deur die hoë bosse. Dit bied wel beskutting teen die wind. Ons kon nie die see sien as ons op stoele of die banke sit nie. Wel as jy regop staan onder in die huis. Daar is slegs rotse voor die huis, so moenie 'n strand verwag nie. Die bobbejane het ons glad nie gepla nie - behalwe dat ons nie met oop vensters kon slaap nie.

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

Wonderfully peaceful.

We had a very nice stay. The house is very well equipped and the view from the top is lovely. The stairs up are quite steep, so not suitable for old people. The view of the sea is very limited below by the tall woods. It does provide shelter from the wind. We could not see the sea when we sat on chairs or the sofas. Well if you stand up at the bottom of the house. There are only rocks in front of the house, so don't expect a beach. The baboons didn't bother us at all - except that we couldn't sleep with the windows open.

Altyd wonderlik om hier te kuier.

Dit was ons tweede verblyf in Gull Cottage en soos die vorige keer, het ons dit baie geniet. Lucille was baie behulpsaam en professioneel en ons was aangenaam verras deur bottel wyn wat gewag het vir ons. Baie dankie weereens, Lucille. Ons sien uit na nog avonture by Gull Cottage.

Family holiday reunion with three generations.

Situated near the sea, but with minimal sea views from the ground floor and garden, Gull Cottage is a peaceful beach house, which suited our three couples and a young baby. The house needs some maintenance and TLC.

Heerlike winterwegbreek by die see!

Gull Cottage is op die perfekte plek! Net voor die huis is daar 'n heerlike plek vir skulpies soek en net om die draai is daar 'n fantastiese klein strandjie. Die hoofstrand is ook loopafstand van die huis. Ons kan nie wag om weer te gaan nie.

Just delightful.

Loved our stay at Gull Cottage, felt more than welcomed by the team. The spot is right by the beach and offers some stunning views. Must be amazing during whale season. The swimming beach is about 10 minutes walk away and is lovely. Also 1.5 km from the beautiful Harold Potter botanical gardens. The cottage is well equipped, has 2.5 bathrooms which suited us perfectly. Lovely area to chill and relax and more than enough board games supplied should the weather not be agreeable (although we had fabulous weather). The braai area and additional outside furniture were welcome to enjoy the lovely summers evenings outside. Thank you for making our stay awesome, we'll definitely be back.
