Beautiful house with amazing views and close to the beach.

Very clean. Beauty hosted us with great pleasure and took care of us during our stay. Suggested for the owner to install a Jojo tank due to water shortage and water cuts in that area. It was a great trip besides our water problems. Will definitely book again.

Pragtig, rustig en skoon.

Moeite werd vir 'n wegbreek, naby al die groot swemstrande en restaurante. Plekkie is gerieflik vir 'n hele gesin, skoon en veilig. Die hulp is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Nie net 'n vakansiehuis nie, dis 'n huisie weg van jou huis. Sal en het reeds aan vriende en familie aanbeveel. Baie bekostigbaar.

Beautiful, peaceful and clean.

Worth the effort for a getaway, close to all the great swimming beaches and restaurants. Plekkie is comfortable for a whole family, clean and safe. The help is friendly and helpful. Not just a holiday home, it's a home away from home. Will and have already recommended to friends and family. Very affordable.

Rustige omgewing en naby aan die strand.

Die huis was netjies en het alles daar wat ons nodig gehad het. Ons het wel nie kosgemaak nie, het wegneem tes deur die dag gekry en saans gaan uiteet by twee restaurante in die omgewing. Ons het 'n probleem met die alarm gehad, wat die eienaar vinnig uitgesorteer het. Daar was wel 'n insident met "missing plastic containers" wat ons nie verstaan nie, maar ons het vir John gevra om wat ook al en hoeveel containters weg is, van ons deposito te verhaal. Ons het te lekker vakansie gehou om dit te bederf met ou en gebruikte "plastic containers".

Quiet environment and close to the beach.

The house was neat and had everything we needed. We didn't cook, got takeaways throughout the day and went out for dinner at two restaurants in the area. We had a problem with the alarm, which the owner quickly sorted out. There was an incident with "missing plastic containers" which we do not understand, but we asked John to recover whatever and how many containers were gone from our deposit. We had too much fun to spoil it with old and used "plastic containers".

Could have been better.

House is crawling with cockroaches as big as my index finger, pillows on the main bed had a sour smell to them and had mold on them. The cleaner hid the linen and large round pillows we used to help my 2-year-old from rolling off the bed, she was also not very friendly, I put that down to us having our own nanny with us on holiday. Not enough cutlery and we had to go buy, then afterwards, a few more spoons and cups made their appearance. The water issue is a big problem, the owner can really invest in a jojo tank as he is aware of this problem and leaving occupants without water for a week, we had to go fill 5l water bottles at a garage for bath and sanitation purposes upon asking the cleaner to please come to show us exactly where and to help, she declined and said she has her own water, it's not her problem, yard is overgrown and needs a trim. Can't go up the steep driveway without scratching on the branches and can't use the garden outside shower, lastly extremely poor communication from owner.

Huis het alles wat nodig is met mooi uitsig oor die see. Erf en omgewing is troeteldiervriendelik. Voel of jy by jou oupa en ouma se see-kothuis kuier.

A peaceful and cosy home away from home with spectacular sightings.

The cottage was so spacious and so comfortable, we had everything we needed and really enjoyed having our dogs with us too! The kids each had their own room which is so much nicer when one wants to sleep in and the other is up at the crack of dawn. We felt safe and loved the sea view from every window of the house. We spotted whales and dolphins every day which was a first for all of us and really spectacular! It’s not a modern cottage and the driveway takes some maneuvering to get in and out but the location was great and everything we needed was within walking distance. South Port Beach was great and we were sad to leave the area, would definitely recommend it to a family wanting a special seaside holiday away from the crowds!

Most beautiful house, cozy by the sea.

A beautiful house, very comfortable and neatly equipped, close to the sea, with an incredible view of the sea. Beauty, the little woman who came to clean every day, was a suggestion. Our stay took place in the middle of the devastating storms in KZN. We put our feet briefly on the sea sand the first day, and from then on, it just rained and rained. The reason why I do not want to recommend the place is because the house is not sufficiently equipped for the challenges of load shedding and the disaster, as we hit it. There were enough flashlights, but the single gas bottle that Beauty brought, after the power had been out for 6 hours, had a broken plate: the gas was coming out the side and we were afraid that the bottle would explode. There was no second option. I can see previous people have tried to use the gas like this, and probably didn't report it. There is also no kettle or something to boil water on the stove, and no matches or gas lighter - luckily I had my own. With today's power outages, such a place should be equipped to charge cell phones, to at least boil water, and get something to eat. So we cut our stay short by 3 days. It was also a mercy because of the disaster.

Heerlike verblyf wat jou tuis laat voel.

Was een van die lekkerste vakansieverblyfeenhede wat ons nog gehad het. Was lekker om vir Beauty te hê wat elke dag skoon kom maak het en seker maak als is gewas asook klere. Lekker om skaars 200 m vanaf die strand te wees. Die kinders het dit net so geniet, ons het gevoel of ons tuis is. Als was beskikbaar wat ons benodig het, soos 'n wasmasjien, tuimeldroër, skottelgoedwasser was 'n plus. Jy hoef werklik net klere en kos te vat. Sal beslis weer gaan. Baie dankie.

Lovely accommodation that makes you feel at home.

Was one of the nicest holiday accommodation units we have ever had. It was nice to have Beauty who came to clean every day and make sure everything was washed as well as clothes. Nice to be barely 200 m from the beach. The children enjoyed it just as much, we felt like we were at home. Als was available what we needed, such as a washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher was a plus. You really only need to take clothes and food. Will definitely go again. Thank you very much.

Definitely a recommendation to those needing peace, beauty and a home away from home, near the ocean.

We were a group of 4 female pensioners who felt safe at Ocean's Paradise. Enjoyed the beach walks with Sammy, our pet. Beauty was welcoming and helpful. The owner was accommodating and flexible when we needed to adjust our stay. The home had all that one requires.

Beautiful view, easy accessible to beach, dog friendly.

We enjoyed our stay overall with a beautiful view and private deck. Being dog friendly was a great help. The stay-in domestic (Beauty) was a real help to keep house tidy. It would be nice to have an inside shower. A smart-TV would also work well instead of OpenView option.

Netjiese en gerieflike verblyf met asemrowende uitsig!

Die huis is goed versorg, netjies en goed toegerus. Ons verblyf was gerieflik en ons hoogtepunt was die oggendkoffie op die stoep met ons oë vas genael op die see, om die walvisse en dolfyne se skouspel dop te hou. Die strand is 'n gemaklike kort afstand vanaf die huis oor 'n treinspoor wat min verkeer het. Danksy die daaglikse skoonmaakdiens van Beauty, kon ons ten volle ontspan en die vakansie geniet.

Neat and comfortable accommodation with a breathtaking view!

The house is well maintained, tidy and well equipped. Our stay was comfortable and our highlight was the morning coffee on the veranda with our eyes fixed on the sea, to watch the spectacle of the whales and dolphins. The beach is a comfortable short distance from the house over a train track that has little traffic. Thanks to the daily cleaning service from Beauty, we were able to fully relax and enjoy the holiday.

Heaven on Earth.

The name Ocean's Paradise truly doesn't do this house justice. It is more of a snippet of heaven on earth! The atmosphere is so rich with love it feels like a breath of fresh air. Beauty was no exception to this. She was like an angel. The deck was great for having a drink and watching the ocean. We slept like babies in the comfy bed. We thoroughly enjoyed our walks on the long beach, saw whales and dolphins - and even saw a turtle. We are heartbroken to have to leave and return to the real world, but we will definitely be back soon.

Was een ongelooflike vakansie.

Ons het elke oomblik geniet. Stapafstand van die strand af. Sit buite met die mooiste see-uitsig en geniet die walvisse en dolfyne wat baljaar in die see. So rustig, minimum verkeer. Huis is perfek vir 'n gesinsvakansie. Lê in jou bed en luister vir die see. Beveel die plekkie aan vir enige iemand. Ons sal beslis weer volgende jaar wil gaan.

Pragtige uitsig en goeie ligging, maar hier en daar valse advertensie.

Daar is geen DStv skottel nie so moenie die moeite doen om jou eie dekodeerder in te pak nie. Vat ook maar jou eie gas en kerse saam vir Eskom se load-shedding; daar is nie 'n plan B vir kragonderbrekings nie. Die plek is nie elke dag skoongemaak nie - slegs 3 maal in die 10 dae wat ons daar was. Die beddens is ongemaklik. Die tweede badkamer met stort is buitekant die huis. Klein hondjies wat graag verken kan ook maklik uitkom weens die tipe heining om die eiendom. Die verblyf is egter baie bekostigbaar, gerieflik naby aan 2 blouvlagstrande en die uitsig is onverbeterlik mooi. Dit was moeilik om iemand in die hande te kry toe ons 'n probleem ondervind het wat dus tot gevolg gehad het dat ons lank moes wag vir 'n oplossing.

Beautiful view and good location, but here and there false advertisement.

There is no DStv dish so don't bother packing your own decoder. Take your own gas and candles with you for Eskom's load-shedding; there is no plan B for power outages. The place was not cleaned every day - only 3 times in the 10 days we were there. The beds are uncomfortable. The second bathroom with shower is outside the house. Small dogs that like to explore can also get out easily due to the type of fence around the property. However, the accommodation is very affordable, conveniently close to 2 blue flag beaches and the view is incomparably beautiful. It was difficult to get hold of someone when we encountered a problem which resulted in us having to wait a long time for a solution.

Beste Wilma,

Dankie vir die terugvoer. Ons waardeer enige terugvoer en probeer om die plek gemaklik te maak vir ons gaste, maar dit gebeur soms dat dinge breek of nie werk nie. Ons probeer ons bes om op die hoogte te bly van die huis en om die prys so laag as moontlik te hou.

Daar is wel 'n DStv skottel. Ons het net ʼn nuwe een ingesit, net voor julle ingetrek het. Ons het met die installeerder gepraat, en hy sê die skottel sal nie met die nuwe 'Explora' dekodeerder werk nie. Jammer vir die teleurstelling. Ons sal ʼn plan probeer maak.

Daar is herlaaibare flitse in die huis, spesifiek vir beurtkrag, en Beauty hou hulle gereed. Maar as daar te min is, sal ons ʼn paar nuwes moet koop.

Beauty is beskikbaar om die plek elke dag skoon te maak.

Jammer dat julle die beddens ongemaklik gevind het. Ons het ʼn paar maande gelede 'ʼn baie duur 'Queen Ann' matras laat insit. Meeste van ons gaste vind dit baie gemaklik.

Dit is waar, die tweede stort is net buite die agterdeur - dis deel van die karakter van die huis.

Ons het nie gedink dat die gebreekte handstort so ʼn probleem sou wees nie, maar het 'ʼn loodgieter op die naweek uitgeroep om julle te help. Jammer dat julle dit so ongemaklik gevind het.

Al die heinings is vir miniatuur Maltese poedels opgerig. As die hondjies nog kleiner is, dan kan hulle miskien deurkom.

Groete,
Oceans's Paradise Beach Cottage
