Family with teenagers

A harbor in Gansbaai.

We were in Gansbaai for the shark diving and the proximity was perfect. The area was safe and peaceful with good access to amenities. It was a home from home and the beds were very comfortable with great pillows too. We loved the Milkwood forest and balconies and the fact we could bring our dog and stay later on Sunday to explore the area a bit more. My only concern was I thought there were 3 bedrooms as the ad stated it slept 7 and my elderly mom had to sleep on a couch as she couldn't sleep upstairs. In hindsight, I should have double checked.

Melkhout Woud Sprokieshuis 's response

Hi Stephanie,

Thank you for visiting our place and for the great rating and kind words. I am sorry to hear your mum had to sleep on the couch; that is horrible!

Our intention for having so much sleeping space is to make an affordable rental for families who don't mind sharing the space. Our son, for example, celebrated his 18th birthday with his friends, and they all shacked up in the same loft, and they loved all being together in one place.

I do realise though that this is not for everyone.

I have reduced the number of guests to a maximum of 5 to be more reflective of the space. I tried to do it previously but got pushback from some guests, but I think you are right on this.

Perhaps we can change the configuration in the future to only have single beds in the loft if we want to cater for more.

Thanks again for being open with us about this; our reputation is everything to us, and we want our guests to have a full experience without concerns.

Have a lovely year ahead and make some good memories!

Kind regards,

Martin

A true fairytale house.

The accommodation and all facilities were in excellent condition and our dogs enjoyed the covered stoep. We've made another booking for December. A lovely place!

We had such a relaxing stay.

We really had an amazing stay. The house is neat and tidy; you feel so secluded even though you are in a residential area. We had two wonderful days. We will definitely be back.

Tranquil.

Ons het ongelooflik lekker gebly, dit was stil en rustig. Die huis is stunning en skoon. Ons het lekker gekuier op die stoep ook. Ons sal definitief weer terugkom.

Baie lekker gebly, behalwe bome te na aan die huis en rondom die braaiarea.

Ons het lekker gebly, die huis was baie eie huis atmosfeer, warm, aantreklik, vriendelike omgewing.

Very nice stay, apart from trees too close to the house and around the braai area.

We had a nice stay, the house had a very own home atmosphere, warm, attractive, friendly environment.
