Pragtige plekkie.

Heerlike huis met 'n pragtige see-uitsig, die swembad was 'n groot bonus vir die kinders. Onthou net om jou braai-rooster te neem en 'n platter bord, verder was alles daar wat ons nodig gehad het.

Beautiful place.

Lovely house with a beautiful sea view, the pool was a big bonus for the kids. Just remember to take your braai grill and a flat plate, otherwise everything we needed was there.

Lekker huis, lekker geriewe en mooi see-uitsig. Bietjie ver van winkels.

Baie oulike huis. Naby aan die see. Die paadjie af na die privaat strand toe is net 'n bietjie moeilik om op en af te loop vir 'n swanger vrou of mense met baie klein kindertjies. Die huis is goed toegerus met nodighede soos toiletpapier, seep, tee ens. Die huis het ook 'n baie mooi see-uitsig. Dit is goed beplan om lekker familie tyd of tyd met vriende te spandeer. Baie sitplek vir kuiers om die vuur en by die swembad. Daar is nogals baie muskiete. Miskien net ietsie daarvoor saamvat. Die boonste slaapkamer het 'n "spa bath" wat baie oulik is. Albei badkamers is volledige badkamers met 'n stort en bad. Ons het baie lekker gebly en sal beslis weer gaan.

Nice house, nice facilities and nice sea view. A bit far from shops.

Very cute house. Close to the sea. The path down to the private beach is just a bit difficult to walk up and down for a pregnant woman or people with very small children. The house is well equipped with necessities such as toilet paper, soap, tea etc. The house also has a very nice sea view. It is well planned to spend nice family time or time with friends. Plenty of seating for gatherings around the fire and by the pool. There are quite a lot of mosquitoes. Maybe just something to sum it up. The upper bedroom has a "spa bath" which is very cute. Both bathrooms are full bathrooms with a shower and bath. We had a great stay and will definitely go again.

Perfect getaway.

Thank you so much for a beautiful stay. My kids definitely took full advantage of the beautiful clean pool, and the rooms were all so comfortable. I loved the decor, art, and beautiful garden. The jacuzzi was definitely a nice surprise. The kitchen had everything you need. As a private family, we appreciated the peacefulness. The online pics do not do the accommodation any justice. PS: Make sure to bring enough water, drinks, and food since the nearest shop is 17 km away.

We had a wonderful stay at Pelican House. The view and all-round beauty are just awesome. If we could bottle up Grotto Bay's serenity, everywhere we go, it would be pure bliss. Thanks for a wonderful stay. We loved the beach being so near the home, as well as the splash pool for my little one, who just couldn't get enough of the water.

Veilig en skoon huis.

Dit is 'n gerieflike huis vir 'n groep familie. Die braaier was so roesagtig en ook die los braaiers dat ons ons eie gebruik het. Boodskappe en kommunikasie was daar glad nie. Vreemde mense het aan ons deur geklop vroegoggend opsoek na die Cathy.

Safe and clean house.

It is a comfortable house for a group of family. The braai was so rusty and also the loose braai that we used our own. Messages and communication were not there at all. Strange people knocked on our door early in the morning looking for the Cathy.

Fantastic, restful, peaceful. Quiet beautiful.

Fantastic stay, 3 full weeks and we loved it. Wonderful location and quiet peaceful estate. Beautiful sunsets. Kitchen needs some maintenance (a dishwasher would be helpful) and the house needs a deep clean. Staff at the house not super eager to help or go the extra mile. We will definitely return. Aircon or ceiling fans are needed, especially in the upstairs loft.

Pelican House is so 'n lieflike plek. Als was soos dit gewys word op foto's. Die uitsig is was die beste. Sal definitief weer terugkeer. Hulle kan dalk 'n meer gemaklike sitkamerstel kry, maar anders was als perfek.

Rustigheid, see uitsig, pragtige tuin, beeldskone see, swembad baie nice, met braaigeriewe met groot ope area in huis. Veiligheid tops. Was beslis elke rand werd.

Rustig en ontspannend.

Heerlike atmosfeer ten spyte van gure weersomstandighede. Ons het lekker gebly en alles wat ons nodig gehad het, was beskikbaar. Die afstand vanaf die naaste winkel is seker die enigste probleem. Moes gery het tot Melkbosstrand, maar dit is moontlik 'n probleem en voordeel op dieselfde tyd!

Great atmosphere despite bad weather conditions. We had a nice stay and everything we needed was available. The distance from the nearest shop is probably the only problem. Should have driven to Melkbosstrand, but this is possibly a problem and an advantage at the same time!

Kuier by Grotto was stil, rustig en privaat, net wat ons nodig gehad het.

Pragtige en rustige plek met 'n baie mooi sonsondergang. Alles was presies en netjies. Net 'n aanbeveling is dat die foto met die hout vir buitebraai update word aangesien ons onder indruk was dat daar hout beskikbaar was en dat geiser vooraf aangesit was. Ons het eers die volgende dag uitgevind hoekom die stort so koud was. Maar ons het dit verskriklik baie geniet.

Visiting Grotto was quiet, peaceful and private, just what we needed.

Beautiful and peaceful place with a very beautiful sunset. Everything was precise and neat. Just a recommendation is that the photo with the wood for outdoor barbecue be updated as we were under the impression that there was wood available and that the geyser was pre-installed. We didn't find out why the shower was so cold until the next day. But we really enjoyed it.

Heerlike kuierhuis!

Dis 'n heerlike stoep vir kuier in enige weersomstandighede. Fantasties vir kinders met die muur en hekke wat toemaak. Let net op dat daar ’n byenes aan die kant van die huis is. Gelukkig was niemand allergies nie, maar dit was baie ongemaklik met kinders wat op die bye trap en 2 wat gesteek was. Verwyder die nes. Die huis is nie geskik vir persone wat allergies is nie, Grotto Bay is nie naby hospitale nie.

Lovely holiday home!

It's a lovely stoep for hanging out in any weather. Great for kids with the wall and gates that close. Just notice that there is a beehive on the side of the house. Luckily no one was allergic, but it was very uncomfortable with children stepping on the bees and 2 being stung. Remove the nest. The house is not suitable for people with allergies, Grotto Bay is not close to hospitals.

Upon arrival we were greeted with a warm & welcoming smile into a spotless clean home with comfy beds, fresh linen and soft towels. Everything we needed was available plus more. Sitting on the patio was peaceful and relaxing where all you could hear were the birds chirping in the trees and waves in the background. Lovely enclosed and well maintained garden.

The perfect accommodation except for the two problems.

The accommodation was picture perfect. The only downfall is that I booked the accommodation for my daughter and 5 of her friends as a 21st getaway gift. They were so excited to use the hot water pool due to the cold weather, just to be disappointed because the pool never heated up. They also experienced problems with the tripping of the plugs.

Pelican House 's response

Thank you for the review, Suzette. It was a pleasure hosting your daughter and her friends for the special birthday. We do apologise for the inconvenience caused due to the electricity and the swimming pool.
We have found the problem which caused the electricity to trip. The appliance has been replaced.
We have investigated the problems the heater is causing and noticed that the heater of the swimming pool cannot take the strain of heating the pool during the extreme cold conditions. We have decided to not market a heated swimming pool facility during the winter months.
