Beeldskone natuur en huis.

Ons het heerlik gekuier en gebly in Penguin House. Wonderlike uitsig, genoeg ruimte vir 'n groot groep en baie goed toegerus. Die mense wat die pikkewyne besoek het, het ons glad nie gepla nie.

Picturesque nature and home.

We had a great time and stay in Penguin House. Wonderful view, enough space for a large group and very well equipped. The people who visited the penguins did not bother us at all.

Pikkewyne, views en tafel tennis!

Ons was almal baie aangenaam verras oor hoe ongelooflik die huis se ligging is. Die uitsigte van die stoep af is asemrowend en baie spesiaal om so naby die pikkewyne te wees!

Penguins, views and table tennis!

We were all very pleasantly surprised by how amazing the house's location is. The views from the veranda are breathtaking and very special to be so close to the penguins!

It was a wonderful break.

Absolutely beautiful house in a fabulous position. And a surprise of table tennis too. Loved seeing the penguins all around. Enjoyed the bikes too but bring a pump!

Celebrated my daughter's birthday. We had a wonderful time.

Beautiful house with amazing views. The house had everything we needed. The penguins in the backyard were a treasure. Lots of little touches that were really appreciated. Would definitely go back.

Puik ligging.

Die uitsig was onverbeterlik. Die pikkewyne hier op jou eie voorstoep is baie spesiaal.

Great location.

The view was unbeatable. The penguins here on your own doorstep are very special.

Perfect spot for sea views and penguin watching.

Stunning location and beautiful house. We loved spending time watching the dassies, penguins, local birds and even spotted a mongoose. The view from the house was breathtaking. Would definitely recommend.

Heerlike kuierhuis.

Penguin Huis is heerlik toegerus met genoeg spasie vir almal. Ongelooflike uitsig en so spesiaal met al die pikkewyne in jou tuin.

Beautiful view, unfortunately no privacy.

Not very private with everyone coming to view the penguins and overlooking the house, so sitting outside to enjoy the view is not an option, also some people just enter the property to view the penguins. The blue couch and carpet in the living room are disgusting. Roof in the one bathroom is leaking when raining. Otherwise, the house is very beautiful and we enjoyed the view early mornings and late evenings. Bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean. Main beach is a bit far if you have to travel with little ones.

Pikkewynparadys!

Penguin House is binne die bewarea geleë met die allerbeste uitsig oor die baai. Die pikkewyne is oral in die tuin en kan nogal pikkewyngeluide maak, dag en nag! Vir ons was dit 'n fees maar vir mense wat absolute stilte soek sal dit dalk pla. Die huis is baie goed ingerig, skoon en netjies met als wat mens nodig het. Die WiFi is baie stadig maar dit het ons nie gepla nie. Ons was daar vir rus en die pikkewyne en kormorante het ure se kyk genot verskaf. Die huis is vir families wat hou van saam dinge doen. Daar is baie speletjies, tafeltennis en selfs fietse! Dit was absoluut die moeite werd. Die kaggeltjie was 'n bonus. Kan nie wag om weer daar te gaan kuier nie.

Penguin Paradise!

Penguin House is located within the conservation area with the very best view of the bay. The penguins are everywhere in the garden and can make quite a few penguin noises, day and night! For us it was a festival but for people who are looking for absolute silence it might bother them. The house is very well furnished, clean and tidy with everything you need. The WiFi is very slow but it didn't bother us. We were there for rest and the penguins and cormorants provided hours of viewing pleasure. The house is for families who like to do things together. There are lots of games, table tennis and even bicycles! It was absolutely worth it. The fireplace was a bonus. Can't wait to visit again.

Special experience.

The house is lovely - very practical and homely. Of course my favourite part was the fact that the back garden was filled with penguins - incredibly special. A word of warning though - they can get a bit noisy at night so if nature and animals are not your 'thing' then this special blessing may not be for you. There are stern warnings of crime in the area which were a bit daunting - in the same breath I felt quite safe and felt that the warnings were more to create awareness.
