Beautiful place with a nice view. It just needs good maintenance.
Very nice view. The barbecue has rusted and is falling apart. There are very few TV channels. DSTV only had 2 channels that froze. Only the basic amenities are available, like a nice hot tub, but it doesn't work. The water pressure was very low and I almost had to jump around to get wet in the shower. The sink was clogged and the water came out slowly. The sound of the sea was lovely and there is a nice big leather seat. The hostess was very friendly and helped where she could. The place is not wheelchair friendly and the stairs are just bad for people with false hips.

Situation of building is awesome however our apartment at Pip's Place was very basic.
Pip's Place 's response
Dear Tanya,
We unfortunately do not have air conditioning, and therefore it is not on the list of available amenities. The fan, as mentioned, is available on request. The WiFi does work, depending on how many rooms are occupied as it is not fibre and it is free of charge. The flat does have the basics, crockery and cutlery as well as linen. If you would like a sea view unit in future, then book one of our two-bedroom units, which are sea-facing. As stated, it's a unit on the side of the building.
Kind regards,
Val

Family getaway.
View and location are unbeatable! Valeska's reception was very friendly and professional and messages with the load shedding schedules were very welcome. Secure parking under shade net canopy. Wi-fi helped make everyone jealous with photos. But - unfortunately the penthouse apartment needs some attention. The apartment was cleaned nicely, but there was a bad smell on the carpets. The TV had no active channels (but the wi-fi, view and other attractions in the area kept us busy). During our visit the lift was completely out of order which made the calves work a bit, but this could be a problem for someone who can't do the stairs. If I had to compare the apartment with others in the area that we have visited before, I would unfortunately not be able to recommend it.

We enjoyed the Beach.
The cleaning of the apartments will really need to be looked at, we found underwear from the previous tenants behind a sofa. We didn't use the shower at all because there was hair lying around which was very noticeable, my 2 year old saw it and came to call us. It is very impersonal with those that there are no blinds in front of the glass door in the living room, and the bathroom blinds were also broken.

Pleasant apartment walking distance from the sea - You hear the sea when you sleep.
We expected a sea view, which was not the case. It was terribly hot without any cooling. The whole apartment is too cramped for us. The shower is very small. The frying pan 'tripped' the power". The dishes were not adequate (only one pan, no tongs). We would recommend the place but not for us. We like space and comfort and a sea view. We have also needed a mop, which was not available.
