Die verblyf was onaanvaarbaar.

Die huis op DIE webtuiste is nie die huis waarin ons gebly het nie. Die eienaares het erken dit is 'n ander huis. Dit was by 22 Lincolnstraat. Die kombuis was 'n gang wat omskep is. Die breete vir beweging was die breete van die stoof. Daar was nie werkoppervlakte nie, tensy die "breakfast nook" inaggeneem word. Dit was 'n oppervlak van ongeveer 1. 2m by 800cm. Die ketel en koffie was ook daarop, sowel as ons eie items. Die yskas is 'n klein yskassie wat met die hand goud geverf is en baie sleg lyk. Daar is nie warm water in die kombuis nie. Die hoof badkamer het slegs 'n koue kraan by die wasbak. Die badkamermatjies was oud en uitgerafel. Met die 2de badkamer se stort het ek gevoel ek moet "flipflops" aantrek om te stort. Daar was nie seep of toiletspuit nie. Daar was nie voorsiening gemaak vir beurtkrag nie. Die 2de slaapkamer het nie 'n kantgordyn gehad nie, dus moes die skuifdeur of gordyn ten alle tye toe wees, anders kon inwoners van 'n woonstelblok direk inkyk. Die agterplaas was vuil. Daar het uitgedroogte stukke sunlightseep gelê. Die banke in die sitkamer se verf het afgedop. Die kantgordyne was nog op die outydse rek wat gebruik is vir kantgordyne en het in 'n "loop" uitgesteek onder die gordynkap. Ons het 8 gestehuise gebly en al die ander het vol graderings van my ontvang, dus is ek nie 'n moeilike mens om tevrede te stel nie. Ek het die heletyd vir my familie van België omverskoning gevra. Gelukkig het hulle die foto's gesien.

The accommodation was unacceptable.

The house on THE website is not the house we stayed in. The owners admitted it was another house. It was at 22 Lincoln Street. The kitchen was a hallway converted. The width for movement was the width of the stove. There was no work surface, unless the "breakfast nook" is taken into account. It was a surface of about 1.2m by 800cm. The kettle and coffee were also on it, as well as our own items. The fridge is a small fridge that is hand painted gold and looks very badass. There is no hot water in the kitchen. The main bathroom only has a cold tap by the sink. The bathroom mats were old and frayed. With the 2nd bathroom's shower, I felt like I had to put on "flip flops" to shower. There was no soap or toilet spray. There was no provision for load shedding. The 2nd bedroom did not have a side curtain, so the sliding door or curtain had to be closed at all times, otherwise residents of an apartment block could look directly in. The backyard was dirty. There lay dried pieces of sunlight soap. The sofas in the living room had peeling paint. The lace curtains were still on the old fashioned rack used for lace curtains and protruded in a "run" under the curtain hood. We have stayed in 8 guesthouses and all the others have received full ratings from me, so I am not a hard person to please. I kept apologizing to my family from Belgium. Fortunately, they saw the photos.

Strand Holiday Cottage 's response

Omrede jy op die laaste minuut bespreek het ek die plek beskikbaar gekry vir julle. Miskien is die verf van die rusbank n bietjie af en díe badkamermatjies al 'n bietjie verweer maar tog Silwerskoon. So ook die agtererf - 'n ou stukkie uitgedroogde sunlightseep maak tog nie "vuil" nie. Die venster waarvan jy 'n kantgordyn voor wou hê is ge-"tint" sodat jy nie vir buite na binne kan insien nie. Yskas is nie met die hand geverf nie. Die stort wat jy met floppies wil gebruik is nuut oorgedoen. Die hele plek is 2 maande gelede gerestoreer, modern en nuut geverf. Jy het die helfde minder betaal as wat jy sou betaal het in die plek wat jy oorspronklik wou hê en al verskil is die klein kombuis.

Comfortable, clean and conveniently situated.

The host was very accommodating and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Only a short walk to the lovely beach, but far away enough not to be bothered by beachgoers. We were a party of 5 adults and all found it very comfortable.
