Wonderful. Minimalistic, relaxing and fun.

We visited the accommodation with two young children, aged 9 and 11. The accommodation is right on the water with amazing views. The kids loved swimming in the creek and the swing over the water. The canoeing to the beach was amazing. The host always responded to any inquiries. The fireplace at night was great for family time and atmosphere. We will be going back in the future.

Dit was absoluut heerlik!

Ons het heerlik gebly en Brian en sy vrou was so gasvry gewees! Die loft gedeelte raas nogals en ek sal moontlik aanbeveel om kinders onder te laat slaap! Selfs met ure lange load shedding het die kinders heerlik gespeel en ons het baie veilig gevoel.

It was absolutely delicious!

We had a wonderful stay and Brian and his wife were so hospitable! The loft section is quite noisy and I would possibly recommend letting children sleep downstairs! Even with hours of load shedding, the children played wonderfully and we felt very safe.

Exquisite location and very attentive owner available.

We had a wonderful time at Otters Creek and spotted an owl while canoeing down the river! It's a beautiful short walk or paddle to the beach; our child loved splashing in the estuary. Extraordinary location. We brought two small dogs. Owner was staying in house next door and came over daily to ask if there was anything we needed. Very attentive.

Welcoming and comfortable.

Our hosts went out of their way to make us feel at home, shared information about our environment and shared additional equipment for our 70th birthday party. Thank you.

Tranquil and picturesque.

We loved staying at Otter Creek and will go back many times. The accommodation provided for most of our needs. There were enough plugs, the Wi-Fi was great, they had cleaning products, and my personal favourite, their knives were sharp! All these contributed to a great stay. Only suggest would be that the outdoor shower needs some work and that the loft can be very noisy for those downstairs.

Fantastic location, friendly and accommodating hosts.

Perfect spot for canoeing down the river to the beach or walking (+- 15 min). You can swim in the river the water is warm and clean. The accommodation is clean and you will have everything you need, braai, fire place, outside shower, inside bath, fridges etc. Just take your own duvet covers, pillow cases and towels.

Peaceful and relaxing family weekend away.

The house is ideally situated away from the main Pringle Bay residential area which means it is very quiet. The Richardson's are very helpful and accommodating. The accommodation is suitable for two families - one family downstairs (double room and twin room) and another family upstairs in the open loft area (double bed and two single beds with plenty of space for additional mattresses). The living area and kitchen are compact, but most of the time is spent outdoors. There is a lovely firepit for braais and potjies. The canoes are great fun, the walk to the beach is beautiful and there is plenty of space to walk and contemplate how blessed we are to live in such a beautiful world. Recommended as a destination.

Wonderlike wegbreeknaweek.

Baie sentraal en nie so afgeleë soos wat foto's voorkom nie. Loopafstand van alles en langs die rivier. Heerlik geswem en kano gery. Huis het beskik oor al die geriewe. Brian en Barbara was baie gasvry en altyd beskikbaar. Ons sal beslis weer gaan.

Wonderful getaway weekend.

Very central and not as remote as photos appear. Walking distance to everything and along the river. Great swimming and canoeing. House has all the amenities. Brian and Barbara were very hospitable and always available. We will definitely go again.

Wonderful, relaxing time had by all.

Otters Creek is a special place with its own charm. Loved the proximity to the beach and being surrounded by fynbos. We were 8 people and the cottage was ample for us, comfortable and with all the necessary utensils etc. The upstairs loft area was a huge hit for the teenage children! An outside shower with hot water was a nice touch. Our second visit, and we'll definitely be back.

Heerlik rustig.

Die huis is goed geleë en bied 'n goeie balans tussen die see en natuur. Ons ontvangs was vriendelik. Die meubels en kombuistoebehore voldoen aan die basiese behoeftes, maar is ongelukkig al baie afgeleef. Daar is nie 'n binnebraai nie. Alhoewel die huis 8 slaapplekke het, is daar net gemaklike sitplekke vir 4 persone in die sitkamer. Die kombuis se uitleg is nie prakties nie - veral nie indien daar vir 8 persone kosgemaak moet word nie. Vir die prys sou ek ten minste verwag dat basiese items soos toiletpapier, skottelgoedseep en kombuislappies ingesluit is.

Wonderfully peaceful.

The house is well located and offers a good balance between the sea and nature. Our reception was friendly. The furniture and kitchen accessories meet the basic needs, but are unfortunately already very tired. There is no indoor grill. Although the house sleeps 8, there is only comfortable seating for 4 people in the living room. The kitchen's layout is not practical - especially not if food has to be prepared for 8 people. For the price, I would at least expect basic items like toilet paper, dish soap and kitchen cloths to be included.

Fantastic!

We stayed at Otters Creek for a week - family of 6. What a wonderful place! We were welcomed by Brian and Barbara and their hospitality went far beyond the norm! The cabin is comfortable and cosy - giving the true feeling of being in nature with its lovely view. We loved the privacy and yet it is walking distance from the beach. We highly recommend Otters Creek, and then Brian and Barbara for being such wonderful hosts.
