Clean, cosy, and comfortable. Accommodating, friendly hosts.

Absolutely cosy! Home away from home. The hosts were so welcoming and took every opportunity to make sure we were happy.

Rustig.

Ons moes bly omdat die volle bedrag betaal was. Wat op die fotos verskyn en wat aangebied is, is verskillend. Minimale eetgerei vir voorbereiding. Breekgoed almal onpas. Geen drinkglase nie. Vatdoek in 'n aaklige toestand. Een duvet per bed. Lugverkoeler kan nie gestel word nie. Stort lek vloer vol water. Swembadwater vuil, borrelbad vol vrot water.

Restful.

We had to stay because the full amount was paid. What appears on the photos and what was presented are different. Minimal utensils for preparation. Baby clothes all inappropriate. No drinking glasses. Barrel cloth in horrible condition. One duvet per bed. Air cooler cannot be set. Shower leaking floor full of water. Pool water dirty, hot tub full of rotten water.

Hi Carolina,

I trust you are well. Thank you for your review, though I am quite surprised at your feedback as after our check in with you once you had left, your reply was very different. (Your response on check out, copied directly from WhatsApp was very positive.) We would have gladly helped with any requests you brought to our attention if you had mentioned them. Every time we checked in with you, you were happy.

We would like to explain the following:
We apologise as the cleaner did forget to add the drinking glasses into the unit, this was an oversight as the previous guests booked both apartments and mixed the glasses up, but we brought these over as soon as you asked on the day of your arrival.

The jacuzzi was filled with water as it rained for a few days and there was quite a heavy storm where leaves settled in it. The air conditioning is not featured as an amenity in our units on TravelGround, we removed it from TravelGround a long time ago. We were not aware of a dirty pool as it is checked daily and you were all swimming in it, but if you had mentioned this at any time we would have gladly attended. We are on-site and available and would have been very happy to attend to anything extra you needed (additional kitchen items/extra linen).

We are upset and so sorry to hear that you were unhappy, we have looked into the leaking shower and are having this repaired. We will also follow up on the dishcloth, we truly try to provide a good service and are very open and appreciative to feedback.

I do feel the review a bit unfair only because we were never aware of you being unhappy or in need at any time despite our check ins and would have honestly been happy to assist. I'm sure with most of the items, barring the leaking shower we would have definitely been able to help. Please consider this in the review of our property.

Best regards,

Cindy

Op ons aankoms was hulle baie vriendelik. Alles was reg vir ons. Paul het kort-kort ingeloer om te hoor of alles reg is. Ek sal hulle definitief weer gebruik. Baie dankie vir julle.

Excellent cabin with excellent location. It's extremely clean and comfortable.

Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the friendly owners. They made our trip more interesting with her advice and tips about the city, supermarket, shops, restaurants within walking distance. Would definitely recommend this cabin to everybody! It's a true sample of excellent cordial and decorum. Thank you again Paul and Cindy for going just that little step extra for the guests! In all my years of travelling, never have I come across such humble people who were just willing to help make our stay better with no extra charge. They have done a great job.

Cindy en haar man is baie aangename persone. Heerlik gebly.

Kombuisie is beknop. Die ligging en uitsig is onverbeterlik. Aangename week gehad. Daar kort dalk 'n tafeltjie en 2 stoele binne in die woonstel. Die stormwind en weer het buite sit en eet bemoeilik.

Cindy and her husband are very pleasant persons. Had a wonderful stay.

Kitchen is cramped. The location and view are unbeatable. Had a pleasant week. There may be a small table and 2 chairs missing inside the apartment. The stormy wind and weather made it difficult to sit and eat outside.

It was a peaceful stay.

The place is lovely, however the room is a bit small for more than 2 individuals. We were a 2 adults and 1 child and found that the space was not enough for the three of us due to the fact that its all open space and not separate bedrooms.

Absolute value for money with friendly hosts and lovely, clean facilities.

We were warmly welcomed and found our flat to be lovely and clean. Sadly the WiFi was cranky and the TV didn't want to log on, but with the load shedding that is to be expected. We can highly recommend Laudin's View and will use them again if they will have us.

Great time out from everything, awesome service and great way to relax.

Perfect for friends, family and a couple looking for a "time-out". The neighbourhood is peaceful and the accommodation of a good standard. The service was great and we will surely do that again.

Aangenaam.

Dit is 'n oulike plekkie. Vir mense wat wil kook neem maar jou eie goed saam. Andersins, baie netjies en die gashere aangenaam en baie behulpsaam.
