The facilities and location are excellent.

Everything about Bahia was excellent, however, with the stairs being as steep as they are, this would be worth mentioning as they would definitely be a problem for the elderly, or someone with leg or knee issues. The only other issue is the reference to Off Street Parking. That is misleading, as it implies that there is a certain level of security, whereas you park on the pavement, with no security at all. Not an issue, but definitely misleading! You may also want to indicate why no children under 7 are allowed, as this is extremely unusual at destinations of this nature.

Heerlik, maar kort 'n paar goed.

On the Rocks is gemaklike verblyf, maar kort 'n paar goed in die plek, en 'n sambreel op die stoep, son is nog skerp, en kan dan nie die stoep ten volle benut nie.

Delicious, but missing a few things.

On the Rocks is comfortable accommodation, but lacks a few things in the place, and an umbrella on the stoep, sun is still sharp, and then can't use the stoep to the full.

Uitstekend.

Ons was 'n groot groep en het albei eenhede bespreek. Dit was ruim en bevat al die geriewe. Die ligging is goed en naby alles. Dit was heerlik! Die stoep bo het 'n pragtige uitsig van 'n beeldkone Afrika-sonsondergang. Ek kan die plek definitief aanbeveel!

We were a large group and booked both units. It was spacious and contained all the amenities. The location is good and close to everything. It was delicious! The veranda upstairs has a beautiful view of an iconic African sunset. I can definitely recommend the place!

Goeie ligging maar duur vir 'n groot gesin.

Die huis was skoon en netjies met moderne meubels en goeie kwaliteit linne. Die linne word halfpad omgeruil. Die ligging is goed direk langs die waterfront. Veiligheid is goed in 'n cul de sac. Alhoewel ons lekker gebly het vir die week het ons gevoel die huis was baie duur, vir 5 mense, vir wat ons gekry het. Daar is geen motorhuis nie en alhoewel dit genoem word in die beskrywing, mag die foto van die motorhuis misleidend wees. Ons moes ons fietse deur die huis stoot tot op die oop stoep. Die tweede kamer is af met steil trappe en die kamer en badkamer is taamlik donker en bedompig met elk slegs 'n klein venster. Daar is 'n skottelgoedwasser maar siende dat daar slegs ses bekers, messegoed, glase ens. is, moet mens steeds gereeld met die hand was. Daar is 'n wasmasjien maar geen rak om op te hang. Ander items wat ons nodig gehad het bv. braaistaander (moet rooster op bakstene sit), warm matjies, warm vat-lappe, tafeldoek. Buite meubels is baie verweer.

Good location but expensive for a large family.

The house was clean and tidy with modern furniture and good quality linen. The linen is changed halfway through. The location is good right next to the waterfront. Safety is good in a cul de sac. Although we had a nice stay for the week we felt the house was very expensive, for 5 people, for what we got. There is no garage and although it is mentioned in the description, the photo of the garage may be misleading. We had to push our bikes through the house to the open porch. The second room is down steep stairs and the room and bathroom are quite dark and stuffy with only a small window each. There is a dishwasher but seeing that there are only six cups, cutlery, glasses etc. is, you still have to wash by hand regularly. There is a washing machine but no shelf to hang. Other items we needed e.g. braai stand (must put grill on bricks), hot mats, hot barrel cloths, tablecloth. Outside furniture is very weathered.

Teleurstellend.

Mooi see uitsig. Net baie teleurgestel in hoe ons behandel was. Die buurmense het konstant gevra dat ons, ons musiek moet sagter sit en sagter praat terwyl ons besig was om speletjies te speel. Ons was daar om onsself te geniet. Sal aanraai dat die eienaar in haar advertensie se dus nie geskik vir jongmense nie.

Disappointing.

Nice sea view. Just very disappointed in how we were treated. The neighbors constantly asked us to turn down our music and speak softly while we were playing games. We were there to enjoy ourselves. Would advise that the owner says in her advertisement that it is therefore not suitable for young people.

Paternoster is a special place! Will return!

On the rocks is a lovely self catering unit. Guests should know that there is a seafood factory not far from the unit so there is a very slight hum 24 hours due to water pumps. Privacy on the deck is not great as the neighbors are very close - perhaps a simple screen would help, if the owners are willing to spend a small amount of money. There are no meat knives or cutting boards in the unit either. If you take this into consideration, it is a lovely place.

Good and comfortable except for some improvement to relax outside.

The unit was fully equipped. The stoep leading from the lounge was not a nice area to relax outside as the big bush/plant that’s on the stoep has a scary feeling as a person have no idea what could crawl out. The TV was blocked on Sunday and we could not watch while having breakfast, and we did not feel comfortable sitting outside on the stoep either. The neighbours should keep their gate closed as I did not know it is private property when I stood there to take a photo, as she questioned me.

Stylvol en gerieflike blyplek sorg vir 'n uiters aangename ondervinding.

Ons was 3 volwassenes wat die onderste (kleiner) eenheid vir 'n naweek bespreek het. Dit was baie gerieflik, skoon en modern ingerig. Die kombuis het alles wat ek benodig het om etes te berei. Ons het lekker geslaap en ook die warm stort het nie teleurgestel nie. Alhoewel ons nie direkte toegang tot die strand het nie, was die wandelpaadjie regtig naby en baie gangbaar. Die trellidor verskaf sekuriteit en ons kon tot na donker met oop stoepdeure na die see luister. As die klein eenheid so goed lyk, kan ek nie wag om die hele huis te bespreek vir 'n familiekuier nie. Ons sal dit beslis weer besoek, en ek beveel dit met 'n geruste hart aan.

Stylish and comfortable accommodation makes for an extremely pleasant experience.

We were 3 adults who booked the lower (smaller) unit for a weekend. It was very comfortable, clean and modernly furnished. The kitchen has everything I needed to prepare meals. We slept well and the hot shower did not disappoint either. Although we didn't have direct access to the beach, the walkway was really close and very walkable. The trellis provides security and we could listen to the sea with the patio doors open until after dark. If the small unit looks this good, I can't wait for the whole house to book for a family visit. We will definitely visit again, and I recommend it with a clear heart.

Die kaggel was heerlik in die koue. Lekker slaapgeriewe. Kon lekker kosmaak. Ek sou graag 'n teepot, melk en suiker potjies wou hê. Veilig en stil omgewing. Dankie vir 'n heerlike 5 dae by die see.

With great assistance we eventually got hold of the lady to open up which is not what you need after travelling. It was 5pm. Very unfriendly welcome blaming us for the event. Nice view from balcony, needed some warning about the steep stairs to downstairs bedroom.

Fantastiese blyplek by die see.

On The Rocks is 'n baie mooi huis naby aan die see, fantastiese ligging, skoon en netjies. Baie lekker vir groepe/groot families en die eienaar is baie vriendelik. Dis net jammer die buurman se alarm het heel naweek afgegaan van mense wat in die paadjie na die see stap wat die atmosfeer total en al bederf het en dit baie onsmaaklik gemaak het. Verna was ongelukkig nie behulpsaam nie en het ons gevra om rond te bel. Nie aanvaarbaar om dit aan jou kliënt te doen nie, jy doen die nodige vir die kliënt. As dit nie daarvoor was nie, sal ek maklik die huis weer bespreek en dit ten sterkste aanbeveel. Net 'n voorstel: meer as een sleutel wanneer daar groepe mense is kan baie help as almal nie dieselfde tyd wil kom en gaan nie.

Fantastic place to stay by the sea.

On The Rocks is a very nice house close to the sea, fantastic location, clean and tidy. Very nice for groups/large families and the owner is very friendly. It's just a shame the neighbor's alarm went off all weekend from people walking down the path to the sea which totally spoiled the atmosphere and made it very unpleasant. Verna was unfortunately not helpful and asked us to call around. Not acceptable to do this to your customer, you do what is necessary for the customer. If it wasn't for that, I would easily book the house again and highly recommend it. Just a suggestion: more than one key when there are groups of people can help a lot if everyone doesn't want to come and go at the same time.

Teleurstellend.

Baie skoon en netjiese eenheid. Die onderste eenheid was nie toegerus met basiese noodsaaklikhede nie. Geen braaibak. Ons het ons braaivleis in 'n slaaibak gesit. Gelukkig het ons tinfoelie gehad en kon ons vleis warm hou. Geen broodbord! Ek moes ons slaai voorberei op 'n kombuisbord. Geen slaailepels. Totale gebrek aan privaatheid. Die bure kon sien wat ons doen en omgekeerd want die onderste eenheid grens reg aan die bure se eiendom. Die onderste eenheid het nie die volle see-uitsig wat ons voor gehoop het, slegs gedeeltelik. Die onderste eenheid het geen DStv wat nogal dalk 'n pluspunt kon wees. Beslis NIE waarde vir geld nie.

Disappointing.

Clean and neat unit. The downstairs unit was not equipped with all the necessities. No braai dish. We put our braai meat in a salad bowl. Luckily we had tinfoil in which we could keep the meat warm. No cutting board! I had to prepare salad on a plate. No salad servers. Total lack of privacy. The neighbours could watch what we were doing and vice versa as the downstairs unit borders the neighbours' property. The downstairs unit also doesn't have the full ocean view we hoped for, just a partial sea view. Also no DStv which would have been a plus. NOT value for money.

Bahia 's response

Hello Christine,
We keep our braai pans in the oven, we only use plastic cutting boards as they can be steralized, wooden ones suffer mould on the seafront and we will not place anyone's health at risk. We use tongs for salad or spoons. All self catering properties in the cul du sac border closely on their neighbours. Up till now we have asked guests to bring their own decoders, we can see it is inconvenient and are rectifying this with our own installation.
We have a staff member on duty for you to call should you not find anything or have any problems, I do wish you would have called her.
