Asemrowende natuurskoon, kwaliteittyd met ons kinders - dit kon nie beter nie!

Ons het baie lekker gebly! Die huis was silwerskoon, is gerieflik en baie ruim. Die uitsig is fantasties, veral vanuit die kombuis se enorme groot venster. Die kombuis is heel goed toegerus.

Breathtaking scenery, quality time with our children - it couldn't be better!

We had a great stay! The house was spotless, comfortable and very spacious. The view is fantastic, especially from the kitchen's enormously large window. The kitchen is very well equipped.

Hartseer.

Ongelukkig het die inverter nie gewerk nie, WiFi is te stadig vir DSTV. Die huis is bietjie vuil. Ons moes alles was voor ons dit kon gebruik in die kombuis. Mooi uitsig.

The fact that Oyster Bay is off the beaten track makes it so exclusive and uncommercialised, quiet and in nature. The house is going to be unavailable and off the booking sites now for 2 months for renovations.

Perfect holiday destination right on the beach with views of the ocean from every room.

The host was perfect and very accommodating. The property was stunning with breathtaking views. Watching pods of dolphins while making your morning coffee or whale watching while you braai, the location assists with instant relaxation. Lovely beach walks and well-marked walks through the bush, the property location is perfect for outdoor lovers and families wanting a break away. Even with the intermittent rain, we had indoor facilities and games with an inverter to make sure we got to see the game and made the most of the outdoors between the rain. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful place, only concern was sewage smell from overflowing septic tank.

The most incredible place and a real pleasure to stay there. It was a pity about the sewerage tank but things happened I believe before we got there. It was paradise and I would definitely go again. Pity there is no dishwasher especially in a drought area, something to consider going forward.

Oyster Bay Sea Haven 's response

Hi,
Glad you enjoyed your stay. A dishwasher is on the cards.
The municipality was very slow over the Christmas period to clean the septic tanks - sorry about that.
Kind regards,
Lizelle.

Pragtige ligging - reg op die strand. Net jammer van die paadjie na die strand vanaf die huis - nie geskik vir ouer mense of mense met klein kinders nie.

Wat ons van gehou het: Die ligging en uitsig vanaf die huis, asook die slaapkamers. Wat ons nie van gehou het nie: Die 2de badkamer se stort het nie gewerk nie, die breekgoed en eetgerei was vuil en ons moes dit alles was voordat ons dit kon gebruik, die asblik was nie uitgegooi met ons aankoms nie, en het gevrot. Die yskas was ook nie skoongemaak nie.

Beautiful location - right on the beach. Only pity about the path to the beach from the house - not suitable for older people or people with small children.

What we liked: The location and view from the house, as well as the bedrooms. What we didn't like: The 2nd bathroom's shower didn't work, the crockery and cutlery were dirty and we had to wash them all before we could use them, the trash wasn't emptied when we arrived, and was rotting. The fridge wasn't cleaned either.

Ek het die skoon makers daarop gewys dat hulle nie die asblikke skoongemaak het nie. julle kon my dalk net vroeēr laat weet het oor die stort dan het ek iemand gestuur om dit uit te sorteer..Julle het die huis laat verlaat, so was vir ons 'n probleem om betyds reg te kry vir die volgende gaste.
Maar julle is welkom

Eenvoudig fantasies.

Pragtigste uitsig oor die see uit elke vertrek. Baie naby aan see, die voetpaadjie net baie ongemaklik.

Ideale verblyf vir 'n familie met tieners!

Ons was gelukkig met heerlike weer en die 4 tienerseuns was permanent op die strand, tussen die rotse of in die water, al was dit vroeg Augustus. Die huis se ligging is perfek en het waarskynlik die beste ligging in die hele Oesterbaai. Die huis self het alle geriewe moontlik en ons kan regtig geen negatiewe oor die huis en sy ligging sê nie. Die enigste klein nadeel is die paadjie na die strand. Dis nie juis geskik vir ouer mense (ouma was saam) of mense wat moeilik beweeg nie. Ons moes ompad stap om by die strand reg voor die huis te kom vir ouma se onthalwe. Andersins 'n perfekte wegbreekplek vir iemand wat hou van stilte.

Ideal accommodation for a family with teenagers!

We were lucky with lovely weather and the 4 teenage boys were permanently on the beach, between the rocks or in the water, even though it was early August. The location of the house is perfect and probably has the best location in all of Oyster Bay. The house itself has all amenities possible and we really can't say anything negative about the house and its location. The only small downside is the path to the beach. It's not particularly suitable for older people (grandmother was with me) or people who have difficulty moving. We had to take a detour to get to the beach right in front of the house for grandma's sake. Otherwise a perfect getaway for someone who likes quiet.

Ons soek lankal na so 'n plek.

Mens kan nie beter as dit kry nie. Op die see, maar hoog op pilare gebou sodat die sand nie inwaai nie. Klomp stoepe. Nuut. Beskutte braaiplek en kaggel. Lekker beddens. Paadjie strand toe. See se gedruis in jou ore.

We have been looking for such a place for a long time.

One cannot get better than that. On the sea, but built high on pillars so that the sand does not blow in. Bunch of porches. New. Sheltered braai area and fireplace. Nice beds. Path to the beach. Sea's roar in your ears.

Asemrowend.

Die natuurskoon is werklik asemrowend mooi en die huis is perfek geleë. Dit is modern, ruim, baie lig, en gerieflik met alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Daar is ook gratis Wi-Fi en DStv. Dit was netjies en baie skoon met ons aankoms. Die uitsig vanuit die huis, oor die fynbos en duine na die see, is prentjiemooi! Woorde beskryf dit nie. Die tjokka-bootjies was die eerste twee aande duidelik sigbaar vanaf die huis, wat nog meer tot die atmosfeer bygedra het. Dis wonderlik om hier so naby die natuur te kan wees. 'n Baie spesiale plek waar 'n mens kan rus, ontspan en get away from it all.

Breathtaking.

The scenery is truly breathtakingly beautiful and the house is perfectly located. It is modern, spacious, very light, and comfortable with everything we needed. There is also free Wi-Fi and DStv. It was neat and very clean upon our arrival. The view from the house, over the fynbos and dunes to the sea, is picture perfect! Words do not describe it. The tchokka boats were clearly visible from the house for the first two nights, which added even more to the atmosphere. It's wonderful to be so close to nature here. A very special place where one can rest, relax and get away from it all.

Fantastiese ligging, maar huis baie verwaarloos.

Die ligging van die huis is fantasties, maar die huis is nie die geld werd nie. Kombuis nie volledig ingerig en die huis is vreeslike vog probleme wat ly tot klam matte wat onaangenaam ruik. Die huis het dringende aandag nodig en ook 'n goeie skoonmaak.

Great location, but the house is neglected.

Excellent location, but the house not worth the price. Kitchen not fully equipped and house has problems with damp leading to damp carpets with unpleasant smell. The house needs serious renovation and cleaning.

Oyster Bay Sea Haven 's response

Goeie dag Sunika,
Kan jy asb 'n aanbeveling wat die kombuis meer volledig ingerig sou maak. Ek weet die wasmasjien was nog nie gekoppel nie, maar ek het julle in kennis gestel. En ek het toegesien dat al die kaste uitgepak en gewas is voor julle gekom het, en alles skoon gemaak is. Die vensters word ongelukkig net 1 x per maand skoon gemaak deur mense wat van Jeffreys kom, maar as die wind 1 keer waai is alles weer vuil. Ek weet die huis het vog probleme, maar so het al die huise in Oesterbaai wat naby die see is, dit is 'n probleem met die wind en reën.

Ek is regtig jammer julle het dit nie geniet nie, julle is die 1ste mense ooit wat nie tevrede was nie.
Is julle die mense wat braai kwotasie gegee het 'n wyle terug?

Rustige gesinsvakansie.

Ons hou van 'n rustige omgewing wat die kinders kan kom en gaan soos hulle wil. Het alles so ervaar. Enigste negatief is die groot hoeveelhede vissersbote met hulle skerp ligte in die aand.

Een van Oesterbaai se kenmerke is die tjokka bote wat sekere maande van die jaar in die baai lê. Hulle vang snags die tjokka met helder ligte - tog bly dit vir my 'n bekoring. Oesterbaai is ook een van die veiligste plekke in Suid-Afrika. Daar is slegs 1 toegangs pad tot in die dorpie, en al die mense ken mekaar. Daar was nog nooit 'n geweldadige voorval in die dorpie nie. Indien enige diefstal plaasgevind het, was dit maar klein misdaad en 9 uit die 10 kere word die persone met die goedere op gespoor. Dit bly 'n wonderlike stil rustige gemeenskap en ongerepte omgewing. Wonderlik dat julle, julle tydjie daar geniet het as 'n pragtige gesin.

Lieflike moderne huis reg op die mooiste strand geleë.

Verblyf was baie aangenaam, het elke aand met die gedruis van die see in die ore aan die slaap geraak. Die huis was groot, netjies en het als wat mens nodig mag kry. Ongelooflike see-uitsigte, voel of mens reg op die strand bly. Ideale wegbreek vir gesinne/paartjies wat bietjie stilte en rus soek, of wil wegbreek van die stadsgewoel vir 'n wyle. Daar is 'n voetpaadjie van onder die huis af tussen bosse direk strand toe, maar wees gewaarsku, gebruik op eie risiko, daar is orals in dorp op asblikke en kus wandelpaaie waarskuwing borde vir slange. Die dorpie Oesterbaai is baie stil en rustig (buiteseisoen en in week gebly), en daar is algemene handelaar, wat met tye baie besig is met rye mense wat wag om gehelp te word. Lyk of dit goeie besigheid doen met plaaslike inwoners van die aanliggende plakkerskamp. Het ook veilig gevoel met die buurtwag wat snags die strate patroleer, want dis baie donker en stil in die aand. Sal die huis aanbeveel vir enigeen wat die natuurskoon en rustigheid kan waardeer, en opsoek is na wegbreek.

Lovely modern house located right on the most beautiful beach.

Stay was very pleasant, fell asleep every night with the roar of the sea in my ears. The house was big, tidy and had everything you could need. Incredible sea views, feel like you are staying right on the beach. Ideal getaway for families/couples looking for some peace and quiet, or want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a while. There is a footpath from below the house between bushes directly to the beach, but be warned, use at your own risk, there are snake warning signs everywhere in town on bins and coastal walkways. The village of Oyster Bay is very quiet and peaceful (stayed out of season and during the week), and there is a general trader, who at times is very busy with lines of people waiting to be helped. Seems to be doing good business with locals from the adjacent squatter camp. Also felt safe with the neighborhood watch patrolling the streets at night, because it's very dark and quiet in the evening. Would recommend the house to anyone who can appreciate the natural beauty and tranquility, and is looking for a getaway.
