Cozy, classic Stanford house, perfect for short and long stays.

We had a great stay. The highlight was the spacious and well-kitted-out kitchen with a large table we could kuier around until late. Very close to restaurants and the Saturday market (walk) and short drive from the brewery and wine farms. Will come again, thank you.

Netjies, ruim, goed toegerus en veilige parkering.

Baie netjies en ruim, met baie goeie ligging - stapafstand van middedorp. Goed toegerus as selfsorg. Groot tuin met buitebraai geriewe en veilige toesluitparkering. Baie lekker tuisgegaan.

Very neat and spacious, with a very good location - walking distance from the center of town. Well equipped as self catering. Large garden with outdoor barbecue facilities and secure lock-up parking. Had a great time at home.

Outentiek.

Ons het heerlik gekuier in die hartjie van Stanford. Die huis is stapafstand van alles geleë. Dit is goed toegerus en baie knus. Al verbeteringe wat ons graag sou wou hê, is dat die venster in die een kamer oop was omdat dit vasgeverf was, dus kon die venster glad nie toemaak in die yskoue weer snags nie. Nietemin, sal ons graag weer hier wil kuier. Baie oulike en ruim verblyf!

Authentic.

We had a great time in the heart of Stanford. The house is located within walking distance of everything. It is well equipped and very cozy. All improvements we would like is that the window in one room was open because it was painted over, so the window couldn't close at all in the freezing weather at night. Nevertheless, we would like to visit here again. Very cute and spacious accommodation!

It was very nice, quiet and private.

Overberg Gems - The Blue house is a very nice place to stay, could do with a bit of more upgrading in furniture specifically lounge suite, TV. More plants or fresh flowers and curtains, but we loved the stay. Thanks.

Heerlik en gesellig!

Die blou huis was baie lekker ingerig vir twee gesinne. Die 4 kinders onder die ouderdom van 10 was mal oor die 'bunk beds'. Die kaggel en braaigeriewe het ons warm gehou op 'n koue naweek. Pragtige dorpie!

The blue house was very nicely furnished for two families. The 4 children under the age of 10 loved the 'bunk beds'. The fireplace and braai facilities kept us warm on a cold weekend. Beautiful village!

Excellent visit with some friends to Stanford, exploring as a possible retirement destination.

Good: great location and very informative booklet. Back patio and garden wonderful in the mornings and evenings and short walk to good dining. Felt safe. Could be better: coffee cups chipped, easy aid to the alarm workings would be useful, had some beggars try the front door, might become more of a problem in future, mosquitos, not all windows close properly.

Old house conveniently close to shops and eateries.

The house is very cold with no heaters. The fireplace cannot burn day and night. The third bedroom with 2 bunk beds has no wardrobe, only corners fitted to the wall. The bedroom with en suite's mattress is quite flat. I got up with a sore back. There is no light at the outdoor barbecue, only dim light on the porch. We had to watch TV through our laptop. Better directions on how to use the TV would help. The house is nice and close to the shops and market. The kitchen is spacious with a nice large dining table. We felt that we did not want to pay R2000 a day again.

Wonderlike, rustige wegbreeknaweek in die mooiste dorpie!

Ons het die huis en die dorpie verskriklik geniet! Die huis het alles wat jy nodig het. En die gevoel van die huis sit mens terug in jou ouma se huis. Die lekkerste staproetes net daar! En dis baie naby aan Hermanus.

Pragtige huis, heerlike kuierplek! Ongelooflik!

Wat 'n heerlike kuier! Ons het ontspan, die dorp vol gestap en elke oomblik geniet! Baie dankie! Die huis is pragtig en ons het veilig gevoel en kon selfs as ons gaan stap die alarm aansit (nie dat ek dink dit sou nodig wees - maar ons het) die kinders het hul gate uit geniet! Dis 'n kuier-huis, die kaggel het gebrand, ons het om die kombuistafel gekuier en regtig elke oomblik geniet! Sal beslis weer kom! Baie dankie!

Beautiful house, lovely place to visit! Unbelievable!

What a lovely visit! We relaxed, walked the town and enjoyed every moment! Thank you very much! The house is beautiful and we felt safe and could even set the alarm when we went for a walk (not that I think it would be necessary - but we did) the kids had a blast! It's a cozy house, the fireplace was burning, we hung out around the kitchen table and really enjoyed every moment! Will definitely come again! Thank you very much!

'n Plaasvakansie by die see.

The Blue House is baie uniek en skep die gevoel van 'n plaasvakansie. Die huis beskik oor 'n lekker ruim kombuis en kuiertafel vir aansit-etes en bordspeletjies met die kinders. Die erf is ook lekker groot genoeg vir die kinders om na hartelus te speel. Ons het lekker gebraai en tyd om die kuiertafel op die stoep spandeer.

A farm holiday by the sea.

The Blue House is very unique and creates the feeling of a farm holiday. The house has a nice and spacious kitchen and dining table for sit-down meals and board games with the children. The yard is also nice and big enough for the children to play to their heart's content. We had a nice barbecue and spent time around the picnic table on the porch.

Huis en ligging nommerpas vir 'n heerlike Stanford-ervaring

Dit perfekte huis vir 'n wonderlike naweek saam met vriende - ure om die tafel in die kuierkombuis en op die agterstoep, en saans voor die kaggelstofie. The Blue House is pragtig gerestoureer en baie goed (en met gehalte) toegerus; baie bly dit was ons basis om die dorp te ontdek en beter te leer ken as ons gewone vinnige inloer en stop/straatafstap tydens ons jaarlikse seevakansie in die omstreke. Dankie vir die voorreg en heerlike ervaring.

House and location number match for a delightful Stanford experience

This perfect house for a wonderful weekend with friends - hours around the table in the kitchen and on the back porch, and in the evening in front of the fireplace. The Blue House is beautifully restored and very well (and with quality) equipped; very glad it was our base to discover and get to know the town better than our usual quick pop in and stop/walk down the street during our annual seaside holiday in the area. Thank you for the privilege and wonderful experience.

Wonderlike asemhaal- en rustigword-plek.

Stanford is definitief die plek om die tyd 'n bietjie stadiger te laat draai weg van die gejaag van die stad. Die akkommodasie was baie gerieflik en ek kan dit definitief aanbeveel vir gesinne met kinders of net 'n wegbreek wat benodig word.

Wonderful breathing and calming place.

Stanford is definitely the place to slow down time away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The accommodation was very comfortable and I can definitely recommend it for families with children or just a break that is needed.
