Incredibly good time!
We can recommend this gem with the utmost confidence. Very well equipped, very safe, clean and tidy. Everything one needs for a wonderful visit and relaxation. Excellent stay where we could charge "batteries" for 2023. We were there for 3 weeks and enjoyed every minute! The owner, Erna, understands the art of being a hostess very well. She is friendly, very helpful and puts her guests above her own interest. She really goes the extra mile for her guests! There is really nothing we can complain about - everything was just perfect! Thank you very much Erna! Heron's Haven is tops!

Very neat accommodation for 2 people.
We were very kindly received by Erna and immediately felt at home. The house is beautifully situated overlooking the Marina. We would have appreciated it if it was mentioned that the accommodation is private, but it is part of the house where the owners stay, only the lower part is a holiday apartment. The parking of vehicles must also be discussed in advance with the owner as their vehicles and our vehicle are all parked in a row in the panhandle. The unit is beautiful and very neat. The sleeping facilities may have been suitable for 4 adults, but the bathroom was definitely not suitable for 4 adults. It is very small and cramped. This really needs to be taken into account when making reservations. There is no living area if more than 2 people have to stay there. I believe for 2 people it should work very well. However, we had a nice stay.

Beste Adri,
Ons probeer presies aanbied wat op die foto's is. Ek haal aan uit die algemene inligting:"Heron's Haven is op die grondvloer geleë, onder die eienaar se hoofhuis." Ons badkamer is klein, maar ons moes ongelukkig hierdie spasie opoffer om groter leefarea te bied. Ek het ons inhoud gewysig sodat dit nie net op die foto's sigbaar is nie, maar ook in die beskrywing. Ons is bly dat julle lekker gebly het.
