A heavenly place to stay between the fynbos and an incredible sea view
Mama Mia is very well located near the hiking trails between the fynbos and has a beautiful sea view. The place is well furnished and the living area is spacious and super neat. The owners are warm, but also allow the visitors their privacy. I will go back again and again if I can.

Nice and quiet.
We stayed at Charlotte House for 3 nights. We had one of the rooms overlooking the nature reserve. It was beautiful and peaceful and we ourselves saw a ibex one afternoon. We had a barbecue the first night and we had everything we needed. Wood was provided which only made it even easier. We booked one of the mornings for breakfast which was delicious and of course the view of the sea also made it even more special. They put a lot of effort into making breakfast for our 5 year old twins which even they enjoyed. Although it was very cold at the time we were there, the electric blanket and the extra blankets helped a lot. The only criticism I could give is that the shower is not necessarily suitable for small children, because the hot water took a while to warm up and the water pressure was only low (which is understandable with water shortages and savings). I would definitely go again and would love to try one of the sea view rooms just because they are beautiful.

Stilbaai was bitter mooi.

Stillbaai was beautiful.
With our arrival we were disappointed to find out that we got the back room with the worst view and braai area. You just see the neighbour's wall. The building material is directly next to the partition. The drawer with the cutlery was so dirty. My family and I didn't feel welcome at all.

Close to everything you want to be.
The bathroom and room are very large, there is only a shower in it which makes it difficult to bathe your small children. It is close to everything you want to be, but still very private.

We were received very kindly. Room was neat and clean. Few tv channels was sometimes a problem, seeing that the weather was not good. Overall we had a nice stay.

Het afgeskeep gevoel omdat ons die slegste opsie uit vier kamers gebied is, terwyl die plek nie vol was nie.

Felt neglected because we were offered the worst option out of four rooms, when the place was not full.
The place has four rooms - as the photos show, two at the front with nice views. Then two 'studio apartments' which I assumed were upstairs with views, but two were at the back. One has the beautiful views of the reserve and a nice braai area (as in the photos) and the other a sloppy braai area and faces the neighbours' brick wall. We then got the last one. I had to ask to move the next day (not a nice thing to do). The first room had a thin duvet, uncomfortable pillows, no soap, no electric blanket (very cold cement floors), no hair dryer, etc. It left a bad taste in my mouth that for some reason we got the worst room while the others were empty. The rooms cost the same.

Mama Mia @ Charlotte House 's response
Dear Elzabe,
It appears since your first review and my first response you do not feel any better? I am unsure of what we did, but I believe we must have personally offended you in some way? I am deeply sorry about this as we enjoy what we do and love the fact that it gives us the opportunity to meet a wide range of people all ages and all nationalities. I do have to say your review is untrue and very unfair. We always offer the best customer service possible to our guests at all times. You stated that you had to ask to be moved, this is completely untrue.
The first untruth: You expressed your unhappiness with the room you were in and Mark gladly offered you the other room, you did not ask. In your defence there is nothing worse than having to tell someone you are unhappy. The other room was booked for the Sunday but the guest went in to the studio you were in first with no complaints. She was very happy as it was her second visit in the same room and she stayed 5 days.
Second untruth: the view is not of the neighbours wall! The side window overlooks the neighbouring property, the the other windows and doors overlook the nature reserve. I will be adding pictures of this view so others can see this.
Third untruth: no electric blanket?! Yes there was? No soap?! There is always hand wash and shower gel in the room and usually a block of wrapped soap.
Just to clarify, the flooring is the exact same in both studios, for some reason the second room you were in felt maybe, less concrete? The braai area is the same only smaller in the second room so I am unsure why you felt this was better, obviously this is down to personal preference.
The bedding is identical in all the rooms also, all the same age and all purchased from the same shop.
We do not have a 'worse room'. all of our rooms are meticulously cared for and have all the same facilities.
This is the second bad review you have left us and it is hard to not take this personal. However, we will still do our very best to offer all of our guests the very best customer service we can, and although your stay with us has 'left a bad taste' in your mouth, I do hope other guests continue to enjoy their stay with us.
Good luck with your future travels!
Kirsty
