Pragtige uitsig en lieflike huis.

Dit was 'n heerlike wegbreek. Die huis het alles wat mens benodig om 'n gerieflike wegbreek te geniet.

It was okay.

Lovely area, but not a lot to do. Hence why we left after day 2.

House Magriet 's response

Hi Raymond. I will recommend you research before you decide to do a getaway to a small coastal town. This platform is not for you to review the area but to review the stay at the house. The location of the house is sea view and there should not be an issue with that on your overall score. There is plenty to do in the area if you know where to go.

Perfectly adequate.

Perfectly adequate, clean and the hostess did her best to assist us. We had a lovely stay. The WiFi did not work, but they said it was a Telkom issue.

Horrific. Uncomfortable. Unhygienic and certainly not homely in the least.

The lounge furniture was so old and uncomfortable and literally falling apart. The house was full of dust. The hob was dirty and so was the oven. The chopping board had mould on it. The road directions we followed as per your advice took us on a horrific private dirt road for 50 km. We had to travel at 20 km/h. Nobody told us to use the highway route. Not even with whom I conversed before we left and on the day we left. She didn't seem to think it was her responsibility and was annoyed that I complained about it. The kitchen blinds have a thick layer of grime on them and the tap handles were full of mould inside the plastic handle. We were given one towel for four people staying there. It was not a pleasant experience and we left two days earlier as we were so unhappy. We were told to complain to the owner directly if we had a problem.

House Magriet 's response

Dear Daryl, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations, and we regret that you left feeling disappointed.
We always appreciate constructive comments, as they help us identify areas for improvement. However, we were surprised by the severity of your review, especially as no concerns were raised with us during your stay. Our caretaker checked in with you on the evening of your arrival, and you mentioned that things were going well. We were later informed that your early departure was due to work-related reasons, rather than dissatisfaction with the accommodation.
We understand that expectations can differ, and we’re sorry to hear that you found the furnishings uncomfortable and the cleanliness lacking. We had carried out a thorough clean before your arrival, especially following a long-term stay and our listing photos accurately represent the layout and condition of our home. That said, we know that Doringbaai’s environment can be challenging; during your visit, strong easterly winds were blowing, which unfortunately brings in dust and sand despite our best efforts.
Regarding the towels, we found and laundered four used towels after your departure, which suggests that more than one was available. We certainly aim to provide sufficient amenities and would have been happy to assist had we known there was an issue at the time.
We do acknowledge that our listing didn’t include written directions at the time of your booking, and we’ve since added this for future guests. However, we also encourage guests to reach out if anything is unclear—our caretaker and owner’s contact details were available, and we’re always happy to help. We understand there may have been some miscommunication on arrival, and we’re sorry if that set a difficult tone for the rest of your visit.
We genuinely value guest feedback, and while we’re disappointed to hear your experience wasn’t a positive one, we remain committed to improving and learning wherever we can.

Gerieflik en prentjie-mooi.

Kamers is ruim. Braaiplek in die kombuis is 'n wenner. Klimaat in die warm somermaande was goed met koel see lug. Genoeg om te doen in en rondom Doringbaai. Waarde vir geld en gesin het dit geniet. Kommunikasie met die gasvrou was baie gemaklik per WhatsApp. Die huis het alles wat jy benodig.

Rooms are spacious. Barbecue in the kitchen is a winner. Climate in the hot summer months was good with cool sea air. Plenty to do in and around Doringbaai. Value for money and family enjoyed it. Communication with the hostess was very comfortable via WhatsApp. The house has everything you need.

Beautiful views. Very quiet. Good for the soul.

We really had an amazing time. There is a small beach like 50 meters from the house. Took my dog for a walk there. Also, if you have kids, there is a safe place on the beach for kiddies to swim in summer. Pubs and restaurants are within walking distance.

Hi Nel, thank you so much for your beautiful comments. It is really a special place glad you could experience it in that way. Regards. Carl

Pragtige uitsig. Groot gerieflike kombuis met ingeboude braai.

Daar is nie parkering vir die voertuie nie en moet buite parkeer word alhoewel hulle sê dit is veilig. Ek sal die plek aanbeveel.

Baie lekker kuiertjie.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier. Die huis kort wel 'n paar goedjies soos kombuisgoedjies en bakke. Die klein vrieskas het baie min spasie, veral as mens vir 'n paar dae bly en alles moet saambring a.g.v. die gebrek aan winkels in die area. Nog 'n kisvrieskas sal perfek wees! Die storte is regtig amazing, wel gedaan!

Very nice visit.

We had a great time. The house does lack a few things such as kitchen utensils and bowls. The small freezer has very little space, especially if you are staying for a few days and have to bring everything with you. the lack of shops in the area. Another chest freezer would be perfect! The showers are really amazing, well done!

Lekker gemaklike huis met uitstekende binnebraai.

Hangplek in badkamers en kamers te min, geen tafels vir tasse in kamers, moet vanaf grond af werk juis omdat hangplek onvoldoende is. Sit net 'n paar groot hake in kamers op, kaste het nie hangers in nie. Maar dit is opbouende kritiek. Algemene probleem met gastehuise.

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

Nice comfortable house with excellent indoor barbecue.

Hanging space in bathrooms and rooms too little, no tables for suitcases in rooms, have to work from the ground precisely because hanging space is insufficient. Just put up some big hooks in rooms, closets don't have hangers in them. But this is constructive criticism. Common problem with guesthouses.
