Nice and quiet.
It was nice to switch off for a few days. There were many "locals" hanging around at the resort, ready to sell or "organize" anything for you. The unit we stayed in needs some work. There is a lot of mold and one of the windows in the living room is broken. There was also a problem with the WiFi. The beds' mattresses were also not nice to sleep on. We understand it's hard to find goodies in the middle of nowhere. Overall we enjoyed our time at the resort.

Disconnect and reboot.
Beautiful place and incredible scenery, but difficult access roads and safety on walks outside the resort. Motorists should be warned that the road is preferable for vans or four-wheel drive vehicles. Our sedan had a hard time with potholes, dirt roads and steep treks. Outside the resort, you are mobbed by local people who want to help you with everything. No is not accepted. On the way, some lead and others follow you. It makes you feel unsafe and prevents you from really enjoying the trip. Resort may need to control it better and have guides screened by them than arranged at reception. Thus more work will be created and standard fees will be paid.

Beautiful surroundings, but accommodation and safety need attention.
We didn't have a bad stay but the units need attention - they are clean but old and not up to a standard of what one would expect from the iconic place. The bed slept well, but the curtain and bathroom arrangements are coming loose, there is no TV, the toilet spout outside was broken and rubbish spilled onto the floor. The local people are friendly and helpful and the surroundings are beautiful, but the guides outside the accommodation do not leave you alone and you feel unsafe all the time on the beach and where you walk. We did identify a guide via the office who was lovely and looked after us well. The road there is rough, but not impassable - you just have to drive slowly and watch out for animals and children. It would be great if the accommodation was renovated, the feeling of security was better and the road to it was a little better and more accessible. Having said all that, we are glad we went there and got to see and experience this beautiful environment and natural wonder up close.

Hole in the Wall is an incredible sight. Accommodation was substandard.
We stayed in a rondavel which sounded interesting until we moved in. No maintenance is done. The floor tiles are cracked and lift in places. The shower is very primitive and does not have a rim to stop the water. The wet floor after a shower is soapy. The icing on the cake was when I used mosquito spray. Millions of live fish moths rained down on us from the thatch. I reported it and didn't hear a word. The stuff was on the bed, sink, cooking area and floor. The receptionist and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful and the dishes were delicious.

Hi Japie, baie dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ons vra omverskoning oor die sterk skoonmaakmiddelreuk, ongelukkig omdat ons omgewing so humid is, moet ons gereeld die skimmel wat binne 'n paar uur vorm skoonmaak. So, ons eenhede is uitstekend skoon. Jy moet verstaan dat ons eenhede ouer is en ons as 'n 'oulike rustige wegbreek' geklassifiseer word. Die meeste van ons personeel kan nie Engels of Afrikaans praat nie, so dit sal die beste wees om altyd met ontvangs te praat. Geniet jou dag.

Hi Sarah, baie dankie vir jou terugvoer. Hotel unit 11 is skoongemaak voor julle ingeboek het. Die unit is baie oud en verkleur met tyd maar nie vuil nie. Ons wag vir goedkeuring vir 'minor revamping'. Tot tyd en wyl dit goedgekeur is, maak ons seker alles is skoon. Enige iets wat stukkend is word dadelik reggemaak as dit gerapporteer word. Maar ontvangs sê daar was niks aangemeld nie of klagtes toe julle hier was nie. Sou jy dit aangemeld het, sou ons dadelik reggemaak het en seker gemaak het julle is gelukkig.

Hi Gerhard, baie dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ek is bly dat ons jou met 'n gratis ete op die huis kon help die eerste aand om op te maak vir die ongerief. En dat ons julle gratis opgegradeer het na 'n twee slaapkamer hotel eenheid. En dat ons namens julle gery het en 'n paar goed vir julle gekoop het en gebring het. Die lek in die toilet is uitgesorteer (dit was die 2de toilet in die kamer wat julle nie gebruik het nie). Ons is ook bly ons kon bevestig watter roete julle moet terugvat omdat ons paaie deur 'n vloed en storm beskadig is. Hulle het al klaar begin regmaak op al 2 roetes.

However 18km from us is a Mega save that sells everything you can think of fruit, veg, meat, groceries etc, there is even a liquor store, bakery, hardware shop, fuel station, clothing shop etc.

Concerned area, unsafe feeling.
Hole in the Wall Resort was not what we expected to find. From an overflowing septic tank to beer bottles in the parking area. We could watch the rugby here and the food was delicious. The bed was comfortable but didn't feel very clean. Bugs fell from the roof on us. The shower was awful, taps broken and the grout black. You could walk from here to the Hole in the Wall, but we were afraid we would be robbed by the people who escort you there. We drove there the next day. We will not see this place again. To get here, there is a horrible dirt road through an informal settlement. I have my doubts about whether a normal car would come out here.

Dankie vir die e-pos.
Ons is jammer om te hoor dat dit jou ervaring met ons was.
Neem asseblief kennis dat dit nie 'n septiese tenk was nie, maar die stort-, bad- en wasbakwater het oorgeloop (soos ons reën gehad het, het dit oorgeloop namate baie reënwater ingegaan het). Riooltenks word weekliks gedoseer vir vlakbeheer.
Ons het wel sekuriteit gevra om die gaste in sommige hoteleenhede wat in die parkeerarea gedrink het te vra om op te hou, soos hulle weg is, het hulle net al hul rommel agtergelaat en aangesien ons tuiniers net soggens werk moes ons instandhoudingsman kom skoonmaak (maar het 'n bietjie tyd tussen sy ander pligte geneem).
Met grasdakke sou jy van tyd tot tyd goggas kry. Ons vernevel dit gereeld wanneer ons nie gaste in die eenhede het nie.
Ons krane is bietjie aan die hou kant en ons het vorige gaste baie hard laat werk met die krane wat tot 'n stukkende kraan kon gelei het (en die gaste het dit nie aangemeld nie). Ons wag vir goedkeuring vir herstelwerk. Ons sit wel vormborsvorm op al ons grout en maak gereeld skoon, maar die grout het verkleur met ouderdom aangesien hierdie grout al meer as 10 jaar daar is. Dus, om dit helder en lig te kry, sal nuwe grout nodig wees.
Die beddens word gereeld skoongemaak en die linne word gewas, gestoom en gestryk na elke gasuitklok.
Dit is altyd raadsaam om ontvangs te vra vir 'n aanbevole gids om jou na gat in die muur te neem wat jou gemoedsrus sal gee. Ons het egter baie gaste wat op hul eie na gat in die muur stap en geen voorvalle het tot dusver plaasgevind nie.
Ons grondpad word gereeld geskrap (hulle het vandag net weer gedoen) en alle plaaslike inwoners wat jy deur die plaaslike dorpie sien gaan is sover altyd vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons het baie gaste wat met klein motors, groot motors en selfs baie lae sportmotors kom (ons het vandag altesaam 5 in huis). En is baie beter as die teergat gevulde alternatiewe pad.
Hoop in die nabye toekoms word ons 'n geleentheid gegun om te help waar ons kan terwyl jy nog ingeteken is
Geniet 'n super dag.

Hi Diana,
Thank you for your review. Apologies for your inconvenience. Due to the heavy rains and humidity, our units could not air properly, which is what you smelled from the dampness. The place is not dirty, as a thorough clean is done before check-in and every day during your stay. Due to the thatch that sheds, this is a must for us. So, what you experienced is thatch that shed and a dampness smell from the wet thatch. We try our best to remedy this by going the extra mile with housekeeping; we even wash dishes. Linen gets changed every third day and towels are replaced as requested, as they can't always dry naturally.

Hi Nilesh
Thank you for your feedback
Just a quick note.
Your original complaint was only for the shower which was sorted and we had many guests after this with no such incident again.
You asked for a freezer which I myself took up with the bakkie on the first day. Our guests normally only get 1 freezer on request. We had to wait for a second freezer to become available and we took that on the second day.
I myself the manager walked past you several times and also spoke to you. Never once was a complaint raised towards me. Even when I asked you how your stay was, you were happy.

We only stayed overnight but were disappointed with the unit.
The unit is in poor condition. From walking into the kitchen with a rusty microwave and stove, we knew it wasn't going to be a good night's sleep. The zips on the lounge set cushions are broken and the sponge is peeling out. If you sit on the ottoman, you fall almost to the ground. The coffee table is a piece of broken counter (plank) that is just loosely placed on the base piece. There is a shower on the lower floor that sinks into the floor when you step on it. The toilet in the same bathroom has a thick brown ring in it. The kitchen window curtain has holes in it. Upstairs, one single bed's bedding was stained - one child refused to sleep in it. The master bedroom's bed has a three-quarter sheet across the mattress and raw mattress sticking out. Luckily there was a top sheet that we just used as a bottom sheet. The door from the master bedroom onto the wooden deck is not tight and the wind comes through. In the room with 2 three-quarter beds, one's leg broke off during the night. We travel quite often and are really not full of nonsense, but we have unanimously decided that we will not go to Hole in the Wall again. We took photos if you would like to see.

Pictures are deceiving, not the same as resort looked. Resort needs an upgrade.
Haven't had water in a long time and if you have it's a muddy mess, take lots of bottled water with you. Resort needs an urgent upgrade. French drains in front and next to unit overflowed and smelled, reported. But it keeps happening. Kitchen cabinets are done. One of the bathroom doors wouldn't close properly because the floor had sagged. Grill had a hole in it as big as the "hole in the wall". Gillies and guides are a bit troublesome and constantly walk past the fence near the unit and constantly seek your attention. The staff are friendly and helpful and work with what they have.

The next morning I sought help with replacing my caravan's electrical plug. Damien the general manager immediately offered to help me with that. By eleven o'clock the plug had been replaced free of charge. It was excellent service. We also had a nice view of the sea. I would definitely recommend the Hole in the Wall resort to any tour group.

Here we were constantly harassed by the locals for selling everything from lobster to "walking tours". It was quite disturbing and very annoying.

Small shop on premises has very little stock, didn't even have the basics like ice cream, coke and bread. Nearest shop is a long drive. Pool was green. Short quite a few kitchen accessories, such as braai tongs, braai bowls, etc. Grill does not fit on the braai and curtains have holes in them. The whole resort needs TLC.

Nice resort. The unit has everything (stove, microwave, etc.) but it is rustic and blends in nicely with nature. All that bothers you are the people trying to sell you fish, especially the units that are in front of the beach. One also realizes their need. The people are very friendly and we never felt unsafe when you went for a walk. Definitely a place for nature lovers. Beautiful views of the sea and beautiful footpaths. Restaurant's prices are good - nice atmosphere. The ladies who work there are doing very well under the Covid conditions. Interesting road from N2, takes about two hours but it's worth it.

3 week tour along the coast.
My partner and I have been touring for the past 3 weeks and visited absolutely some of the most beautiful places along the coast. Koffiebaai was our third stop on our tour and so was one of the biggest disappointments of the whole tour. From where you turn out of the small town towards Coffee Bay, the tarmac was in a very poor condition. Arriving in Coffee Bay it is dirt road to the resort, the dirt road is in better condition than the tarmac. Reception from staff at Hole in the Wall Resort was very good. Rooms were clean and tidy. We planned to walk the next day to the landmark for which we had driven on bad roads all the way. However, we were warned by the resort's staff not to walk, ''the locals are harassing people''. So, we drove up to the viewpoint, took a picture and returned. The resort's shop is also closed. We couldn't buy anything there. We did enjoy seafood in Koffiebaai at a very nice, small restaurant. I'm glad I went to see it, but I'd rather look at a picture next time I want to go back.

The environment is incredibly beautiful. We really enjoyed the environment as a family. The cottages need an awful lot of maintenance. When it rains, everything is under water - the water runs down the walls like a waterfall. And then you also have to hope the power lasts. The driver is nowhere to be found. The cottages only have the essentials. Weekends are 24-hour festivals of vacationers - no peace and quiet.

Stay was very nice, we were even upgraded to better accommodation on arrival, without us asking. It is very beautiful and staff extremely friendly and helpful. Food in restaurant was delicious. There are only two complaints: the stray dogs in the resort are very annoying and we couldn't leave our doors open and then the locals who are really a nuisance, as soon as you step out of the resort they attack you. We could not look at the beach or the hole in the rock in peace. Everyone just wants to walk together to make a little money out of you, we just turned back to the resort. It's a great shame because it's a beautiful place. Perhaps a project or projects should be looked at where the people can be made part of the tourism package in the area in an organized way, without milking the tourist to death.

Everyone blames Eskom but I paid them for service and facilities. Apparently new management that probably doesn't know how to handle crisis. According to workers, power is often a problem.

Very nice stay. Staff very friendly and helpful. Clean and tidy. All the dogs in the resort are a bit of a nuisance. The restaurant disappointed. The bar is only partitioned off with reeds and during our meal on a Saturday night the TV in the bar area was set to rock hard for some sport while the people were making an awful lot of noise, so our meal in the restaurant was not peaceful at all. There was soft music playing but it was drowned out by the TV's noise. The waitress was absolutely uninformed. She couldn't answer a single question and constantly seemed like she didn't understand us. And she got our order wrong after we repeated it a few times. The wine we wanted to order from the wine list was not in stock. We waited over an hour for our main dish, and when it finally arrived, one dish was cold. After that we waited about an hour for our dessert. People who came in to us got their food before we did. Unfortunately, the restaurant was a huge disappointment.

We live in a beautiful country and it is a privilege to see the splendor of this part of the country. The accommodation was good enough. We looked around at other places and think this "resort" is the best, unless you rent a private cottage. The unit is cleaned every day and the linen is clean but not new. Some of the photos on the website may be misleading as it looks like the units have had a "revamp", but I don't think they made it to all of them.

Well appointed room serviced every day. Close to the beach and the restaurant. There are no shops or doctors nearby, so you will have to bring everything yourself. The lodge is very close to the local village, but it was quiet and peaceful, The clean nature and the beach are the highlight of the visit

Had a great time in a very nice place.
Hole in the Wall is one of the better accommodations in the area and is much nicer than in Coffee Bay. It's nice and close to the real "hole in the wall" It's expensive for what you get. We had a great meal in the Restaurant and the place is kept very clean. Please bring dog food for the hungry local dogs that visit you daily. The nature is beautiful. The local people are very friendly but let them know clearly if you do not want to use their services, otherwise they will continue to burden you.

Nice, tranquil atmosphere.
We had a very good time. Will definitely visit again. Unfortunately we will not support the restaurant again. And rather make everything ourselves. The locals are a petulant but they didn't bother too much. More the dogs that come in from a suburb and bother you while you are eating. The Hole in the Wall is something to see. We will recommend it as a must see.

Nice, but beggars along the wire are a pain.
The accommodation was nice, but needs a drastic renovation. Perfect area but the beggars and locals on beach made it feel very unsafe. Pity.

Not recommended at all! Felt unsafe.
The road is very poor and not at all to be recommended for an ordinary sedan car. The whole resort is fenced, but to view at the beach or the Hole-in-Wall you have to walk out of the resort where you are mobbed by young non-working locals. There are no guided tours of the resort. A big disappointment! Stray dogs also bother you at your accommodation in the resort. A great pity about the rubbish at the beautiful Hole-in-wall as well as the unemployed people standing around there. Devices for children also obsolete.

It was lovely. Very pretty and a great location.
Neat and clean. The beds were just a bit too soft. Maybe they can look at adding firmer mattresses. It is really a beautiful resort with more than enough facilities. The spa was wonderful! The staff are friendly and the service is great. And of course, the "Hole in the Wall" did not disappoint. Absolute worth the effort. Beautiful scenery! The walk from the resort is also very pretty and not too difficult! Thank you very much!

Stunning nature and good facilities.
We've been visiting Hole in the Wall many years, but this was the first time in ages that we stayed in the hotel again. Service was good, furniture, linen was new and clean. Units are serviced daily and you get new towels every second day. Units are very wll equipped and comfortable.

Quiet and secluded in a peaceful setting.
Good for relaxation and rest with select activities. Reception is easy and friendly. Accommodation is simple yet comfortable and very spacious and comfortable with all the necessary equipment. The activities are selected and for the residents. The environment is challenging, but comforting and picturesque. The resort is neatly maintained and well managed except for the locals who can be troublesome at times.

Staff very friendly, but resort itself is not up to standard and very neglected. Location and surroundings are great.
The location is great, but the resort itself is not up to standard. Broken beds, wardrobes etc. Dirty sofa covers. Clean water for showering, washing dishes etc. from the taps is currently not available. All tap water is river water. Clean drinking water is provided free of charge. Nearest supermarket on Mtatha. Environment breathtaking.

Very nice environment!
According to the directions on their booking paper, the road to Koffiebaai is only accessible by SUV or bakkie, but this is not stated anywhere. On the beach you are bothered by people who want to take you to the Hole in the Wall or sell you everything. If you come from Gauteng, it scares you. Restaurant was very good. But we will not go again. LekkeSlaap's service was very good. Thank you.
