Fantasties, ek gaan beslis weer. Ek geniet veral die swembad op die stoep.

Baie lekker, die plek is fantasties. Ongelukkig word daarvoor die huis gebou en was die masjiene wat gebruik was deur die bouers baie raserig tot laat Saterdagmiddag. Hoop net die eienaars weet hul seaview word weggeneem. Andersins was ons verblyf baie lekker en ons sal beslis weer die huis bespreek in die toekoms.

Fantastic, I will definitely go again. I especially enjoy the pool on the porch.

Very nice, the place is fantastic. Unfortunately, the house is being built for that and the machines used by the builders were very noisy until late Saturday afternoon. Just hope the owners know their seaview is being taken away. Otherwise, our stay was very nice and we will definitely book the house again in the future.

Heerlik.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier, die huis is definitief 'n "entertainer's dream" met verskeie plekke deur die huis om gesellig te kuier en 'n groot kombuis. Die swembad en grasperk is 'n groot pluspunt. Maryna was baie behulpsaam en het verseker gemaak ons het alles wat ons benodig. Definitief 'n plek wat ek kan aanbeveel.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, alles was van gehalte. Die buurt is veilig en rustig. Die dame wat ons ontvang het, was baie aangenaam, maar haar man het nie 'n manier van praat nie. Hy is baie arrogant en het geen kliënteverhouding nie. Maar buiten dit alles het ons dit baie geniet. Baie dankie.

Ongelooflike naweek In Jacobsbaai.

10/10 vir die huis. Ons is 'n groep vriendinne wat die huis gehuur het vir die naweek. Huis verskaf alles wat jy benodig. Dishwasher en airfryer was 'n bonus gewees. Sal voorstel julle laai nuwe foto's op van die huis, huis is baie beter as wat foto's dit laat lyk. Ons hoop om vinnig weer te kom kuier.

Dit was regtig lekker in daardie lieflike huis met al sy geriewe binne en buite.

Dis nou 'n plek wat jy jouself kan gaan geniet ongeag die seisoen, winter of somer. Ek het vorige comments gelees waar mense praat van stof maar aag dus vir my 'n druppel in die emmer en nie nog iets om oor huis toe te skryf. Ek sal enige tyd weer daardie huis boek. Ons spot wat ons die meeste geniet het was boonste verdieping by bar en braai wat by mekaar is met uitsig oor see. Dit was ons eerste en definitief nie ons laaste nie. Ek wens ek kon booking kry om Xmas daar te kon spend tot na nuwejaar. Sal maar probeer vir 2024 as die Here se wil daar is en niks val voor nie.

It was really nice in that lovely house with all its amenities inside and out.

Now it's a place you can go and enjoy yourself regardless of the season, winter or summer. I have read previous comments where people talk about dust, but for me it is a drop in the bucket and not something to write home about. I would book that house again anytime. We spot what we enjoyed the most was the top floor at the bar and braai which are next to each other with a view of the sea. It was our first and definitely not our last. I wish I could get a booking to be able to spend Xmas there until after New Year. Will try for 2024 if the Lord's will is there and nothing comes up.

Perfekte wegbreek naaweek gewees.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier en gebly. Dit is 'n lieflike plek met oor genoeg spasie vir 8 mense. Al wat ons gepla het was die netheid. Vloere en counters kon bietjie meer aandag gekry het met die skoonmaak. Verder was daar geen probleme nie. Ons het die Paasnaaweek in Jacobsbaai bitter baie geniet.

Pleasant accommodation. Quiet neighbourhood. Nice walks.

The house is very nicely designed with abundant sleeping arrangements. The braai facilities are A1, as is the pool. The agents were very attentive and organised a gas cooker during outages. However, there was a lot of dust under cupboards and beds. For the rest, we had a fabulous stay! Will definitely attempt round number 2.

Ons het so 'n klein probleempie gehad, een van ons vriendinne het verdwaal en die sekuriteit het haar veilig terug aan ons besorg - dis nou wat ek roep uitstekende diens.

Jacobsbaai Self-catering 's response

Hi Sydney,
We sincerely appreciate your gracious review and we are sorry that the pool was not up to the desired temperature. It turned out that previous guests fiddled with the settings which threw it out of sync. Loadshedding permitting, it should be fine now.

Lieflike plek wat so goed uitgerus is met als.

Lieflike huis, wat baie goed uitgerus is met als wat jy nodig het. Selfs 'n skottelgoedwasser, so geen hande het nodig gehad om hande in skottelgoedwater te sit nie! Dit het my verwagting oortref. Die feit dat dit kindervriendelik is, was 'n bonus aangesien ons kleinkind van amper 2 jaar oud ook daar was, en ons kon die hekkie toemaak sodat sy nie die trappe kon opgaan nie. Ons het so lekker ontspan, 4 dae was net te min!

Lovely house, which is very well equipped with everything you need. Even a dishwasher, so no hands needed to put hands in dishwater! It exceeded my expectation. The fact that it is child friendly was a bonus as our almost 2 year old grandchild was also there, and we were able to close the gate so she couldn't go up the stairs. We had such a great time relaxing, 4 days was just too little!

Relaxing family getaway.

Our family had a wonderful time, it was relaxing a true break away. The house is equipped with everything you need and is very spacious. The temperature of the pool could be a bit higher, as it wasn't very warm for a heated pool. I will say that we did go in winter, and perhaps that's why.

Jacobsbaai Self-catering 's response

Hi Tracey. We are happy you enjoyed your stay! The heating system is remarkably efficient even in winter, but the dreaded loadshedding does have a serious impact on it. We have since your stay made some adjustments to the heating timer schedule to compensate for it, and replaced the pool pump with a new one.

Dit was 'n wonderlike wegbreek. Die swembad op die stoep langs die braai met see uitsig was 'n wenner. 'n Regte kuier huis. Perfek vir twee of drie gesinne om saam weg te breek. Ons kinders wou nie huis toe gaan nie, hulle was mal oor die interessante huis met trappe en baie kamers.

We really enjoyed our stay at the house but had an incident where somebody tried to break into one of our cars. The fact that the garage was not available should have been communicated upfront. The security service was fast and quality.

The weather over the weekend was quite cold and even though the pool was heated max 28 degrees, it was still too cold especially for the kids. In summer that temperature is perfect but a few degrees up in winter will be a blessing. The security as stated above was critical seeing that we didn't have parking inside.

Jacobsbaai Self-catering 's response

Hi Laura. Thank you for the review.
To try and make up for the effect of load shedding, we will start the heat pump earlier in the future. Please keep in mind that the pool cover should always be reinstalled when no one is swimming to prevent heat loss, especially in cold weather.
The garages have never been included in the description of the property and its amenities offered. It is for this reason that we installed the beams in the parking area, which in your case proved to be effective and prevented any loss.
Warm regards,
Gys

Hi Mariette, the whole of Jacobsbaai makes use of septic tanks that are regularly emptied by the Municipality. This was the first time in 14 years that they neglected to do so, which caused a terrible mess. I am so sorry that you had to experience this.

Lekker rus in 'n rustige dorpie.

Het heerlik gebly en sal beslis weer boek. Die enigste punte wat na gekyk moet word: party beddens se beddegoed was nie gewas/ vervang nie - was vuil. Kombuis kort blikoopmaker en besem. Die bad (plumbing) lek van hoofslaapkamer se bad na onderste vertrek. As dit reën lek die onderste kamer (agter sitkamer) asook by die twee beddens net voor son stoep. Wat lekker was. Die vuurherd in die kombuis het ure se saamwees en kuier moontlik gemaak - was heerlik. Die skottelgoedwasser is 'n bonus - het perfek gewerk. Die swembad was heerlik! Die kids het dit gelove. Huis lekker groot en gerieflik. Voorstel: sonstoep - haal die twee groot tafels uit en sit counter regom by vensters - met meer stoele.

Have a nice rest in a peaceful village.

Had a great stay and will definitely book again. The only points to look at: some beds' bedding was not washed/replaced - was dirty. Kitchen needs can opener and broom. The bath (plumbing) leaks from the master bedroom's bath to the lower room. When it rains, the lower room (behind the living room) leaks as well as the two beds just in front of the sun porch. Which was nice. The hearth in the kitchen made hours of being together and visiting possible - it was lovely. The dishwasher is a bonus - worked perfectly. The pool was lovely! The kids loved it. Nice big and comfortable house. Suggestion: sun porch - take out the two large tables and put a counter right by the windows - with more chairs.

Beste Gerhard. Ons is regtig jammer om te hoor van die probleme wat julle ervaar het. Ons strewe altyd daarna om ons gaste 'n rustige en sorgelose tyd by ons te besorg. Die bad is reeds herstel en ons vermoed dat dit ook die lek in kamers veroorsaak het. Wat die beddegoed aanbetref, maak ons gebruik van 'n onafhanklike kontrakteur om die huis skoon te maak en beddegoed te ruil. Dit is absoluut onaanvaarbaar en ons sal gepaste stappe neem. Dit is regtig jammer dat ons nou eers daar van te hore kom, aangesien ons dit graag sommer dadelik sou wou regstel.

Rustig maar inkloktyd is te laat en uitkloktyd is te vroeg.

Ek het nie terugvoering gekry na my epos waarin ek gevra het of dit moontlik sal wees om sondag bietjie langer in die huis te bly as daar niemand na ons in die huis ingaan nie. Die DStv was Sondagoggend vroeg Al afgeskakel, die verhitte swembad waarvoor ek ekstra betaal het was nie Saterdagoggend verhit nie maar was wel Sondagoggend. Sondagoggend vroeg het die verhittingspomp al afgeskakel.

Quiet but check-in time is too late and check-out time is too early.

I did not get a response to my email in which I asked if it would be possible to stay in the house a little longer on Sunday if no one comes into the house. The DStv was already switched off early on Sunday morning, the heated pool I paid extra for was not heated on Saturday morning but was on Sunday morning. Early on Sunday morning, the heating pump had already switched off.

Beste Johan, ons is jammer om te verneem dat jy ongelukkig is met die uitkloktyd. Dit was ongelukkig nie vir ons moontlik om julle later te laat uit gaan as die normale 10:00 nie, soos die agent, Marie aan julle verduidelik het met julle aankoms reeds. Die swembadverhitting word reeds 'n paar dae voor die gaste se aankoms aangeskakel en bly darem ook vir 'n dag of wat nadat dit afgeskakel is, steeds aangenaam. Dit sal blote vermorsing van elektrisiteit wees om dit aan te hou verhit die oggend van die gaste se vertrek. Groete, Gys.

Wonderlik.

Absoluut my gunstelingvakansieplekkie, dit was my 3 de keer daar en dis voorwaar home away from home. Die netheid en rustigheid lok my elke keer terug en my hondjies geniet die grasgroen grasperk waarvan grootmense en kinders die warm swembad geniet. Die huis self is van niks tekort en genoeg ruimte vir almal. Die agent Marie van Just Property het ons baie vriendelik ontvang en almal tuis laat voel.Ek kan nie wag vir my terugkeer nie!

Wonderful.

Absolutely my favorite holiday spot, it was my 3rd time there and it truly is home away from home. The cleanliness and tranquility lures me back every time and my dogs enjoy the grassy green lawn from which adults and children enjoy the hot pool. The house itself lacks nothing and enough space for everyone. The agent Marie from Just Property received us very kindly and made everyone feel at home. I can't wait for my return!

Awesome weekend with family.

Spent the weekend at this establishment with the family. The little ones enjoyed the heated pool and the grass around the venue. We found that the place spacious and just loved the rustic furniture. The inside fireplace was used to heat up the place as it got pretty cold at night. Marie who was our contact, was always available and responded immediately when I contacted her. We enjoyed our stay and will certainly try to get back in the warmer months.

It was a relaxing and tranquil weekend with a beautiful sea view.

We really enjoyed our stay there, but the only problem we experienced was the hot pool. The temperature was too low, especially during the cold weather. We didn't enjoy it and didn't make use of it after trying it out.

Jacobsbaai Self-catering 's response

Hi Charlene. It was a pleasure hosting you and your friends. We've had sporadic incidents where previous guests fiddled with the electronic settings of the pool's electrical heat pump, causing it to malfunction. We have since sealed the control panel and only access it remotely. We would love to see you again!

A beautiful oak home, very big and spacious, lovely family holiday and cosy.

A beautiful oak home, very big and can cater up to more than 8 adults sleeping space. Very child friendly with large green grass yard, stunning pool (take the heated option!) and a 10 minute walk to the nearby beach. Every kitchen utensil available as well as extra bedding and towels. Hidden Jacuzzi in main bedroom but noise travels easily (not a train smash).

Tranquil getaway on the West Coast.

The house is great for a large family or group, we counted 4 x double type beds, 4 single beds, a cot and what looks like a sleeper couch, so space for everyone. There are 3 braai places a bar and views and plenty, nothing to complain about except maybe the weather, was a real Cape Town winter effort, and prevented us from using the heated pool. The pool was a fantastic 27 degrees but the wind and rain caused us to rather stay inside at the fire. Great pity, but definitely a great option when the weather is better.

Lekker baie spasie.

’n Lekker groot plek met ’n mooi uitsig oor die see. Daar is nie ’n Jacuzzi nie, net ’n bad bo in die kamer (’n borrelbad). Die swembad is nie warm gemaak nie, ons kon net die eerste aand swem. Anders as dit, is dit ’n lekker plek. Mens kan net nie baie raas nie. Dit is lekker om te gaan stap en die restaurant was baie lekker gewees.

Lots of space.

A nice big place with a nice view of the sea. There is no Jacuzzi, only a bath upstairs in the room (a hot tub). The pool was not heated, we could only swim the first night. Other than that, it's a nice place. You just can't make a lot of noise. It is nice to go for a walk and the restaurant was very nice.

Beste Yolandi. Dis regtig jammer om te hoor dat julle verblyf nie aan verwagtinge voldoen het nie. Soos genoem het iemand die verhitting se instellings verander wat veroorsaak het dat dit nie vir die res van die naweek gewerk het nie. Julle het darem ook nie vir die verhitting betaal nie. Ons hoop om julle weer te kan ontvang en sal alles in ons vermoë doen om dit 'n fantastiese ervaring te maak!

Dit was 'n fantastiese naweek en die huis en swembad was wonderlik!

Die huis is só lekker uiteengesit en met drie braaiplekke om van te kies, kan 'n mens net lekker kuier. Die verhitte swembad buite en Jacuzzi binne is ook albei wenners en het die naweek net nog beter gemaak.

Jacobsbaai Self-catering huis is 'n juweel. Die huis het alles wat jy nodig het en nog meer. Daar is aan alles gedink. Die see-uitsig en briese was lieflik saam met 'n koppie koffie soggens. Die verhitte swembad was 'n nommer een treffer saam met die kinders in die dag en ook saans saam met die volwassenes. En saans na 'n vol dag kan jy ontspan in Jacuzzi-bad.

Die rustigste plek op aarde.

Die huis was ruim genoeg vir ons groep van 11 plus ons hondjie. Die swembad was 'n hoogtepunt. Die braai areas (x3) het vir gesellige aande gesorg. Die gasheer, Cassie, is 'n wonderlike mens en so is sy vrou. Die ligging so na aan die see is asemrowend, veral naby sonsondergang. Ek het so rustig geslaap dat ek nooit die sonsopkoms ervaar het nie, maar ek is seker dit is net so mooi. Ek wens ek kan eendag hier aftree. Die huis self is nie 100% perfek nie. Die toilet van die volle badkamer op grondvloer se deksel moet toegehou word as jy flush om te verhoed dat water, wat met gewel opskiet, die vloer natmaak. Meeste van die sleutels sukkel om te draai, waarskynlik die gevolg van 'n bietjie roes by die see? Die paar klein probleempies waaroor ek die gasheer geskakel het is onmiddellik opgelos, byvoorbeeld toe 'n sleutel gebreek het, is 'n nuwe een binne 'n paar minute deur Cassie gereël.

The house was spacious enough for our group of 11 plus our little dog. The pool was a highlight. The braai areas (x3) ensured cozy evenings. The host, Cassie, is a wonderful person and so is his wife. The location so close to the sea is breathtaking, especially near sunset. I slept so soundly that I never experienced the sunrise, but I'm sure it's just as beautiful. I wish I could retire here one day. The house itself is not 100% perfect. The toilet of the full bathroom on the ground floor must be covered when you flush to prevent water, which shoots up the gable, from wetting the floor. Most of the keys have trouble turning, probably the result of some rust at sea? The few small issues I contacted the host about were resolved immediately, for example when a key broke a new one was arranged by Cassie within minutes.

Heerlike huis met die opsionele ekstra van 'n verhitte swembad.

Die huis en uitsig was wonderlik. Die verhitting vir die swembad is 'n opsionele ekstra en kos R600. Ek is gevra om die swembad af te skakel die aand voor ons loop. Toe het ek dit eers Sondag, voor ons ry, afgeskakel. Die agent was van mening dat ek die pomp onnodig laat loop. Ek verduidelik toe dat ek daarvoor betaal en hy het aanhou redeneer. Verder het ek ge-epos om te reel om my hondjie saam te neem. Hy het nie geantwoord. Ek het hom geskakel om toestemming te kry. Die advertensie is pet friendly. Hy het gesê die hond gaan blaf as ons uit gaan en dit R950 gaan kos vir skoonmaak as ek die hond saambring.

Lovely home with the optional extra of a heated pool.

The house and view were wonderful. The heating for the swimming pool is an optional extra and costs R600. I was asked to turn off the pool the night before we walked. Then I only turned it off on Sunday, before we drove. The agent was of the opinion that I was running the pump unnecessarily. I then explained that I was paying for it and he continued to argue. Furthermore, I emailed to arrange to take my puppy with me. He didn't answer. I called him to get permission. The ad is pet friendly. He said the dog will bark if we go out and it will cost R950 for cleaning if I bring the dog with me.

Hi Elmarie,
Ons is jammer dat jy nie gelukig was met jou verblyf nie, ek sal dit met Cassie opneem. Wat die swembad aanbetref wil ons nie onnodig elektrisiteit verspil deur die water aan te hou verhit as jy reeds die volgende oggend om 10 vertrek nie. Die verhitting was reeds vir drie dae voor julle aankoms aangesit om dit op temperatuur te kry, waarvoor julle nie betaal nie. Dit was in al die jare wat ons die plek verhuur, gelukkig nog nooit nodig om iemand ekstra skoonmaakkostes te vra nie. Ons hou egter ons die reg voor om dit te doen.

Fantasies, luuks, perfek vir ons groot familie!

Die boonste stort se water was koud. Ek neem aan dat daar dalk 'n aparte geyser was daar voor wat nie aangeskakel was nie, maar anders as die koue stort Sondagoggend, was alles absoluut perfek! Baie dankie!

Ons het die heerlike rustige vakansiedorp terdeë geniet.

Dit is die ideale vakansiehuis vir die groter gesin/familie met alle toerusting moontlik in 'n groot kuierkombuis. Die droogte het beslis 'n negatiewe inpak gehad op die grasperk wat speletjies buite gekortwiek het, maar ten minste het die verhitte swembad meer as opgemaak daarvoor. Ons kan die plek beslis aanbeveel.

We had a lovely stay in the quiet holiday village.

It is the ideal holiday home for a larger family with all the necessary utensils possible in a large kitchen. The drought definitely had a negative impact on the lawn that cut the games outside short, but at least the heated pool more than made up for it. We can definitely recommend the place.

Tranquil Jacobs Bay.

It's a wonderful house in a beautiful part of the world. The house has everything one could possibly need for a relaxing holiday. My only suggestion for an even better experience would be to heat the pool to at least 38-40 degrees especially since there is an additional charge for heating and at 30 degrees the water was too cold for us to enjoy.

We had an amazing time and were able to get away from the stress of big cities. We didn't have to worry about anything and could do whatever we wanted to.

We spent wonderful evenings in front of the fire, playing games. We could see the beautiful sunsets and take amazing pictures at the sea. The children could ride their bikes whenever, wherever they wanted to.

My verblyf was uitstekend! Ek het lekker geslaap en ek hou van stap so ek en my vriende het elke dag gaan stap. Ons het die plek verken. Ek sal weer kom en ander daarvan verwittig.

Baie lekker vir 'n groot groep met kinders tussen die ouderdomme van 8 - 17 jaar.

Alles was piekfyn en het voldoen aan verwagtinge. Die huis is baie ruim en het met gemak 3 gesinne met 2 kinders elk gehuisves. Dit het in ons geval ideaal uitgewerk met die 3 tienerseuns in die verste kamer onder en die 3 laerskoolseuns in die kamer bo voor die stoep/kroeg. Ek sal net voorstel (alhoewel ek besef, met gebruik, is dit moeilik om by te bly) dat julle net meer lang glase/glase in die algemeen beskikbaar stel. Ons het ook gevind dat die skerp messe te min was. Die stort op die boonste vlak het ook half 'n probleem geskep (ons is ingelig dat die stort lek). Dan raak "traffic" by die enkelstort op die onderste verdieping erg. Maar oor die algemeen het ons 'n heerlike naweek gehad. Ons kan dit aanbeveel en sal so gou ons almal se programme dit toelaat, beslis weer die huis gebruik! Volgende keer sal ons beslis ook net voorsien vir meer hout! 20 sakkies was te min, daardie huis kuier hopeloos te lekker!

Very nice for a large group with children between the ages of 8 - 17 years.

Everything was perfect and met expectations. The house is very spacious and easily accommodated 3 families with 2 children each. In our case it worked out ideally with the 3 teenage boys in the farthest room downstairs and the 3 primary school boys in the room upstairs in front of the stoep/bar. I would just suggest (although I realize, with use, it's hard to keep up) that you just make more tall glasses/glasses available in general. We also found that the sharp knives were too few. The shower on the upper level also created half a problem (we were informed that the shower was leaking). Then "traffic" gets bad at the single shower on the lower floor. But overall we had a great weekend. We can recommend it and will definitely use the house again as soon as our everyone's programs allow it! Next time we will definitely also just provide for more wood! 20 bags were too few, that house is hopelessly too cozy!

Disappointed.

On the day when we arrived at the house we arrived much earlier than check-in time, it was around 12pm. The ladies who cleaned the house was very nice, welcomed us warmly. I called Cassie to advised him that we have arrived and not to worry we will walk around as I know we are early. He was not friendly he was kinda annoyed that we came early he didn't even introduce himself he just said, 'Why are you doing this to me?". He said it's too early and we should go to the Weskus Restaurant and he will call us when we can come. At 2 pm we left the restaurant and Cassie still did not phone, when we got to the house no one was there. I called him and ask him why he did not phone he said he thought I will phone him. Then he had a fine cheek to say: "Okay, let's start over. I am Cassie and welcome to Jacobsbaai." I just walked in and made my family comfortable. We paid for the house for two days I just wanted to have a wonderful time. Cassie has no courtesy or he was just in a bad mood that day. I suggest he works on that as he is working with people on a daily basis that comes from far and wants to relax and enjoy them. The other issue I had, when we got there he only put on the geyser so the water was cold, also you pay to get the pool heated however he sets a timer on the pool. It only stays warm for 2 hours. Also, please tell the guests on arrival you can't play music. Don't phone the next day when the radio is a bit loud. I will never go to this house again.

Jacobsbaai Self-catering 's response

I have taken this up with Cassie, and he said that there were no complaints, and that everything was in order until the guests started playing music so loudly that various people phoned to complain about the excessive noise. He had no choice but to request the guests to adhere to the municipal by-laws, as Jacobsbaai is a beautiful, serene little town where loud music and screeching tyres are frowned upon. Please be considerate of other guests and residents.

Beautiful house, and well kitted out, suitable if you want to get away from the city.

It's a beautiful house and well kitted out, it was very dusty though and the heated pool wasn't warm at all and that was the main reason we booked the house. We were also charged an extra R150 per day for the use of the pool by the local agent who handed us the keys, which we couldn't use because the water wasn't even lukewarm.

Jacobsbaai Self-catering 's response

The booking was only made one day before arrival, which was unfortunately not enough lead time to have the pool up to temperature on the next day, in the middle of winter. On the following day however, the water would have reached its usual 28 degrees Celsius. We regret only now hearing about the problem that you have had, and will gladly refund you for the heating.

We urge all our guests to familiarise themselves with what 28 degrees feels like. It is definitely not a hot tub, but more like a summer pool in the bushveld! The vast majority of our guests absolutely love the pool though!

Disappointing.

The dwelling is advertised as being able to accommodate 12 people which it can however: 1. It is advertised with two garages of which only one is available. 2. On arrival the pool was green and my grandchildren could not swim in it! 3. The floor pan of the upstairs shower overflowed to such an extent that water leaked through the wooden floor onto the dining room table downstairs and so could not be used! This meant that all seven of us either had to use the shower downstairs or the bath in the master bedroom! 4. The windows in the add-on family braai area upstairs are so ill fitting that both the wind and rain comes through again onto wooden floors. The rain leaks through right next to an electrical wall power point. This is highly dangerous as this is a thatched dwelling. 5. The mobile gas braai is so rusted that we dared not use it! 6. The gates for cars to enter are very badly fitting and difficult to open and close! 7. It is15 kms to nearest general shopping amenities. A plumber was sent round to attend to the shower who advised that nothing could be done, the owners had been advised on more than one occasion that the floor pan is too shallow and the water outflow cannot cope. On the positive side, Cassie Claasens the local agent couldn't do enough to accommodate us, he responded to any issue we had immediately and is not to be seen as responsible especially for the shower issue!

Jacobsbaai Self-catering 's response

Dear Eric,
We are very sorry for your disappointment. We will rebuild the shower, and address all of the other issues. We will be in contact soon to make amends.

Good for big groups.

The house was big enough for what we needed. Nice lawn outside with a pool. Although with the wind pumping right onto the pool, we didn't really use it. The house has 3 fireplaces which is great. We opted to braai in the kitchen area as it was too cold and windy outside. However, the kitchen braai doesn't pull nicely so we had a bit of a smokey issue. The kitchen was well stocked, although it needs a bit of a good clean. Because the place obviously stands vacant most of the time, the kitchen cupboards have a bit of a musty smell. The rooms were good enough. The main bedroom is really nice and spacious and has a jacuzzi bath tub. The shower upstairs in the open sleeping area doesn't drain the water away quickly enough so one has to keep the showers short and sweet. There is also a nice entertainment area on the top floor with a nice view, but also not used much as it is seperate from the downstairs area and kitchen, so instead of carrying everything upstairs it was best to just braai downstairs. The house is overall good for a weekend or few days. It is not a bright sun filled house. It has more of a rustic feel to it with lots of wood and thatch roof, but good enough for a West Coast visit. I think it just needs a bit of TLC and a good clean up.

Jacobsbaai Self-catering 's response

Hi Michelle,
Thank you for your feedback. The upstairs shower has since your visit been ripped out and completely rebuilt in February 2017. It seems to be fine now! The musty smell is a mystery, as we have guests in the house for literally every weekend.

Hierdie plekkie is perfek vir 'n heerlike kuiernaweek saam met familie of vriende. Die ligging is perfek vir 'n asemrowende uitsig van die sonsopkoms of sonsondergang.

Wonderlike ruim huis; goed toegerus met 'n lieflike uitsig en die swembad is 'n besliste wenner.

Ons het heerlik gekuier en uitgerus hier. Die huis is ruim met genoeg braaiplekkie om 'n nasie te voer. Die kombuis en kroegarea was ons gunsteling kuierplekke om nie te praat van die lowergroen grasperk rondom die swembad nie. Alles was netjies en daar is oorgenoeg toerusting om selfs 'n groot Kersmaal te kon voorberei. Die area is stil en rustig en ons het nooit onveilig gevoel nie danksy die alarm, buitesensors en die getroue wag wat snags patrolleer het. Die hoofslaapkamer is enorm en die twee kamers onder is ook pragtig. Die vierde slaapkamer bo was effens beknop en die gebrek aan 'n venster wat kan oopmaak, veral in die somer, kan dalk aangespreek word in die toekoms. Ander kleiner probleme is die boonste stort wat erg lek en die dowwe beligting. Ons het egter ons tydjie op Jacobsbaai terdeë geniet en ek wil graag vir Cassie en Miems bedank vir hul vriendelikheid en behulpsaamheid met die vullisverwydering en elektrisiteitsaanvulling. Dis uitstekende diens. Die huis leen hom uitstekend uit aan groot gesinne of selfs vier paartjies wat wil wegkom van die stadsgewoel. Daar is oorgenoeg ruimte vir lekker saamkuier, maar ook privaatheid om iewers eenkant boek te lees. Ons sal beslis weer kom kuier!

Wonderful spacious home; well equipped with a lovely view and the pool is a definite winner.

We had a great time and rested here. The house is spacious with enough barbecue to feed a nation. The kitchen and bar area were our favorite hangouts not to mention the lush green lawn around the pool. Everything was tidy and there is more than enough equipment to be able to prepare even a large Christmas meal. The area is quiet and peaceful and we never felt unsafe thanks to the alarm, outdoor sensors and the faithful guard patrolling at night. The master bedroom is enormous and the two rooms downstairs are also beautiful. The fourth bedroom upstairs was a bit cramped and the lack of a window that could open, especially in the summer, might be addressed in the future. Other minor problems are the overhead shower that leaks badly and the dim lighting. However, we thoroughly enjoyed our time on Jacobs Bay and I would like to thank Cassie and Miems for their kindness and helpfulness with the rubbish removal and electricity supply. It's excellent service. The house lends itself perfectly to large families or even four couples who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There is more than enough space for nice gatherings, but also privacy to read a book somewhere. We will definitely visit again!

Ons het 'n wonderlike kuier gehad saam met vriende en famlie in hierdie lekker kuierhuis.

Ek was baie beïndruk met Jacobsbaai. Die huis is groot en pragtig! En het absoluut alles wat jy kan aan dink (tot 'n drukkoker). Ons het drie kinders tussen 1 en 5 saam gehad en die huis was kindervriendelik! Ons het ons tydjie by die huis terdeë geniet saam met familie en vriende. Die oopplan slaap deel vir die kinders was 'n absolute wenner, want ons kon braai en hulle kon TV kyk sommer so half by mekaar. En die 2 TV's is die beste, mans kyk rugby en kinders kyk Disney Junior. Groot, netjies en bekostigbaar; ideale kuierhuis vir 'n mediumgrootte-groep.

We had a wonderful visit with friends and family in this nice holiday home.

I was very impressed with Jacobs Bay. The house is big and beautiful! And has absolutely everything you can think of (down to a pressure cooker). We had three children between 1 and 5 together and the house was child friendly! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at home with family and friends. The open plan sleeping area for the children was an absolute winner, because we could have a barbecue and they could watch TV just half with each other. And the 2 TVs are the best, men watch rugby and children watch Disney Junior. Big, neat and affordable; ideal guest house for a medium-sized group.

Verblyf was baie lekker.

Ek sal aanbeveel dat daar diefwering voor die onderste vensters en deure gesit word. Die broodrooster en ysmasjien het nie gewerk nie. Verder was als op standaard.

Stay was very nice.

I would recommend putting burglar bars in front of the lower windows and doors. The toaster and ice machine did not work. Everything else was up to standard.

Jacobsbaai Self-catering 's response

Beste Elizna, Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Ons het intussen die onklaar toerusting vervang, die hele huis oorgeverf, die dak opgeknap en die alarmstelsel met "beams" opgegradeer. Ons hoop om julle weer binnekort te ontvang. Beste wense, Gys.

Not the experience we were looking for.

The place is fine the house and surroundings are beautiful. But this is not a place for a group of friends to go and enjoy themselves. Almost everything was a problem: no music, no speaking in a loud tone. I mean, what do they expect from a group of young people, we paid, and we expected to have a good time. They should clearly state that this place is not for young people. The heated pool was definitely not heated. Never again.

Jacobsbaai Self-catering 's response

Dear Carrone,
We certainly strive to afford our guests the freedom to enjoy their stay, be jubilant, and to have a wonderful time. You are merely expected to consider the neighbours and municipal by-laws in the same way we expect the neighbours to consider our guests. Other than that you are free to have a good time. You are most certainly not prohibited to play music and speak in a loud tone, as long as it is done within reason. In the 9 years of ownership, this is the first time we have ever had any issues in this regard.

Ruim, skoon, en genotvolle verblyf.

Ons het goeie kliëntediens ontvang al het ons net twee dae voor aankoms bespreek. Dit was geen probleem vir die eienaars nie. Die verwarmde swembad was fantasties! Die kinders het dit regtig geniet, al was dit winter. Ons sal definitief weer bespreek.

We received great customer service even though we only booked two days before arrival. This was no problem for the owners. The heated pool was fantastic! The children really enjoyed it, even though it was winter. We will definitely book again.

Baie ruim met uitstekende fasiliteite.

Ons het 'n ongelooflike lekker naweek gehad. Die huis is mooi groot. Daar is baie parkeerplek vir motors en bote. Die honde het hulself gate uit geniet. Die mense is vriendelik en die dorpie ongelooflik mooi.

Die huis is ruim met baie karakter wat aan alle behoeftes voldoen.

Die huis het baie ruimte en baie atmosfeer. Dit is ideaal vir tieners. Die hoofslaapkamer bo was baie spesiaal met die jacuzzi en die dakvensters wat die lui herfs-sonnetjie deurlaat en jou verlei om met 'n boek die oggend deur te bring terwyl die res van die familie in die warm swembad hulself geniet.

The house has a lot of space and a lot of atmosphere. It is ideal for teenagers. The master bedroom upstairs was very special with the jacuzzi and the skylights that let in the lazy autumn sun and tempt you to spend the morning with a book while the rest of the family enjoy themselves in the hot pool.
