A very awesome stay. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

Our stay was absolutely amazing, despite the weather. The house was so well equipped that we didn't feel the need to leave to go anywhere. Our aim was to go to Hermanus to see the whales, but lo and behold, there they were right on our front door! We were lucky to arrive early enough on the Friday to take a walk and experience the beauty of the view as well as the whales. It felt like they came to show off just for us. A great experience, which we would like to do again in the future.

Uitgerus en verras.

Dankie, dit was netjies en skoon en was regtig 'n lekker huis vir klonte mense.

Onvergeetlik lekker.

Ons het bitter lekker gebly. Die huis is net vreeslik warm. Daar was lekker waaiers voorsien, maar ons stel aircons voor. Ons het gewens daar was muskietnette en 'n tuimeldroer.

We had a very nice stay. The house is just terribly hot. There were nice fans provided, but we suggest aircons. We wished there were mosquito nets and a tumble dryer.

The area is wonderful and we had a great stay.

To the owners — considering the terrible storms that brought power outage for 2 days of our stay, perhaps consider alternative backup power, no fun in having cold showers in cold weather, there is no covered area for the smokers and the gutter above the mud room was leaking water into the mud room that we had to step over water puddles for 3 of the 4 days.

Thelma is 'n baie goeie gasvrou. Heerlik gekuier en walvisse gesien.

Thelma was regtig baie behulpsaam deurentyd, selfs toe ons moes langer bly a.g.v. die storm. Sy het die water in die huis kom opvee. Daar is 'n paar klein jakkalsies wat pla soos die badkamer sonder enige lig die hele tyd asook 'n druppende stort. Te min vadoeke. Ook geen ordentlike steak messe vir meer as 4 persone nie. Ten spyte hiervan het ons heerlik gebly! Heerlike ruim leefvertrek asook goeie beddens om op te slaap. Sal weer teruggaan. Dankie Thelma!

Thelma is a very good hostess. Had a great time and saw whales.

Thelma was really very helpful all the time, even when we had to stay longer due to the storm. She came to mop up the water in the house. There are some small bugs that bother like the bathroom without any light all the time as well as a dripping shower. Too few dish towels. Also no decent steak knives for more than 4 people. Despite this, we had a great stay! Lovely spacious living room as well as good beds to sleep on. Will go back again. Thanks Thelma!

House needs a lot of work, however we enjoyed our stay very much with the lovely view.

There are a few things that really needs attention: The pool rooms' bathroom has no hot water. The main bedroom's shower is clogged. The house itself needs more maintenance. I would suggest having more glasses. Grass was not cut. Braai roster was not in a usable condition.

Superb location, well-equipped. Key-alike is a superb feature.

The ice trays are missing, or I could not find these. The gutters above the braai area are full of leaves, and rainwater flows over the top. The gate at the back, a brick latch, was not Occupational Health and Safety Compliance-friendly, so two of us cut ourselves.

Was baie lekker.

Veral omdat my hondekind kon saamgaan. Plek is goed toegerus. Miskien 'n braai plek binne of kaggel sal ideaal wees. Ek sal voorstel dat matte vervang moet word met teëls. Daar is 'n spinnekop probleem in die agterplaas so wees versigtig indien julle klein kinders en diere saam neem. Ek het Thelma verwittig daarvan. Maar alles was goed ek sal definitief weer gaan.

Was very nice.

Especially since my dog child could go along. Place is well equipped. Perhaps a braai place inside or fireplace would be ideal. I would suggest replacing carpets with tiles. There is a spider problem in the backyard so be careful if you bring small children and animals. I informed Thelma about it. But everything was good I will definitely go again.

Beautiful views, quiet and secluded - nice for a family/friends holiday with kids

Alarm issues were a bit annoying. Braai and roof for shade in front would have been great. Nice play area in back garden for kids but garden wasn't the most welcoming - needs a bit of TLC.

Happy Family Guest House 's response

Thank you for your review.
We have bought two big umbrellas for shade. One for the front and one for the braai area. Did Thelma not hand them to you?
We have a gardener who should look after it and I am not there to check it. What was wrong with the garden?
TLC - Will do.

Ontspannende vakansie saam met familie.

Die uitsig was ongelooflik mooi met genoeg spasie vir 'n gesin van 10 met kinders. Die gebied is baie veilig en die strande was nie te ver om te gaan ontspan en swem nie. Ons sal dit definitief aanbeveel vir 'n langnaweek of skoolvakansie!

Relaxing holiday with family.

The view was incredibly beautiful with enough space for a family of 10 with children. The area is very safe and the beaches were not too far to relax and swim. We would definitely recommend it for a long weekend or school holiday!

Die akkommodasie was skoon, smaakvol gemeubileer en baie goed gediens. Die uitsig en ligging is ongelooflik mooi!

Ons is baie vriendelike ontvang. Met ons aankoms het ons 'n heerlike bak vol vrugte en yskoue wyn gekry. Die uitsig het ons na ons asems laat snak! Die huis is keurig gemeubileer vir 'n vakansiehuis. Al ons vriende was baie beïndruk en ek is oortuig almal sal graag weer besoek kom aflê.

Die verblyf was wonderlik, fantasties en bitter lekker.

Die hoogtepunt was die amazing see-uitsig. Ons kon die walvisse baie goed sien. Die huis is baie mooi ingerig en daar is alles wat mens benodig, selfs speelgoed vir die kinders en 'n parkie om hul besig te hou. Daar is lekker staproetes en wonderlike grotte om te sien. Die skoonmaker Thelma is 'n baie vriendelike dame en ons was verras met 'n vrugtebak en bottel wyn.

The highlight was the amazing sea view. We could see the whales very well. The house is very nicely furnished and there is everything you need, even toys for the children and a park to keep them busy. There are nice hiking trails and wonderful caves to see. The cleaner Thelma is a very friendly lady and we were surprised with a fruit bowl and bottle of wine.
