Not on standard.
Place is not up to standard at all. There was a gas leak on the gas stove that was there. We could not use it because it is dangerous and smelled of gas. The microwave's plate is broken and is simply used in reverse of a normal plate. The garden is in a condition. The owner can make a little more effort to tidy up the garden. The shower drain is clogged and pools when you shower. Owner can make more effort to test things before guests enter. The location is good but would not visit again.

A nice getaway before school starts.
I think Plottie's name could be changed to "Plot" since the place is so big! We had a great time and will definitely go to Plottie again. We were very disappointed when we heard it was going to be 4 hours of loadshedding on a Saturday night, but with Andre's help and equipment the hours flew by. The children were very excited because they could still watch TV while the power was actually off. Thank you very much, Andre. See you again soon.

The accommodation came with challenges which made the stay stressful and awkward. The house was not deep cleaned by a cleaning crew and requires a lot of TLC. Disappointing for a R5K per night stay.
Read morePlottie 's response
Thank you for your honest feedback, helping us to improve. To have the house spotlessly cleaned is our top priority. To this end I got a new cleaning crew in mid-2022 and have had only positive feedback since then. If we dropped the ball on your visit, I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience.
In order to improve even further, I have moved to Struisbaai during December to personally supervise and to ensure that maintenance is kept up to date. Since my move here we have made the following improvements:
I have removed all the windows and replaced or repaired the hinges and handles to ensure that all windows now open with ease. I have changed the Wi-Fi from LTE to Fibre and upgraded to an uncapped 50Mb upload/50Mb download package. I am now not only providing portable lights but have lights in the main living areas connected to an uninterrupted power supply (UPS). The TV, DStv, Entertainment system and Wi-Fi are now also connected to the UPS for a seamless transition into and out of load shedding. You won’t even miss one second of your favourite sports or series. We now have a two-plate gas stove as alternative during load shedding. We replaced the two old fridge/freezers with a modern full length fridge and full length freezer. We replaced the old dishwasher with a modern dishwasher. While most guests prefer to use the dishwasher and dishwashing cubes we provide, we do also provide dishwashing liquid and sponges. The toilet paper we provide are normally sufficient for the number of guests for a weekend. Guests sometimes misplace or loose keys and this was the case with the bathroom key for the guests that stayed before you. I apologise that these things were not picked up during the inspection, as it should have been rectified before you checked in. To prevent any issue with lost keys in future, I have replaced it with slide locks to lock the bathroom from the inside.
The one bathroom’s geyser is plugged in behind the bed next to the bedside lamp. Guests do sometimes unplug the geyser to charge their phone or use another device and then neglect to plug the geyser back in. This is what happened in your case. To prevent this from happening in future I have added a second power outlet in the room which is easily accessible to guests and also marked the geyser’s plug clearly.
I am on 24/7 standby to address any issues that may arise and all of the above could have and would have been addressed immediately if I was informed, as demonstrated by the following:
When the house was painted last year, the painters did not properly fix all the curtain rails afterwards. When you informed me of the problem I fixed it immediately. The TV in the children's bedroom was not advertised on the website since it is not connected to the DStv, but only to a DVD player which is sometimes useful to occupy the kids. When you complained about the fact that it was not connected to the DStv I fetched and set up my 50 inch smart TV for the kids. You asked about emergency lighting and I provided you with portable lights immediately. The new fibre Wi-Fi installed shortly before your arrival provided good coverage throughout the property, except for the TV room. From the time you informed me, I literally worked day and night to pull cables and add a second access point which now provides excellent coverage in the TV room and also improved coverage throughout the property. The key hook itself was hanging on hooks and I have never experienced it falling off nor have I ever been informed about it falling off. It is now screwed to the wall, so this will not happen again.

Lovely location. House needs some work.
The house is very big and the location is lovely, we could walk to the beach and it's easy to get to the promenade's starting point. The bedding and bathrooms were spotless, but the rest of the house hadn't been properly cleaned in a long time. The windows that cannot open properly make the house feel stuffy. With a little effort, the house can become a lovely holiday home.

The house was spacious. Enough space for everyone. All the windows could not be opened and this caused a stuffiness in the house.
Only 2 toilet rolls were available and we were a group of 12. We had to buy our own toilet paper, washing up liquid and sponges to clean. The braai facilities were available. The house offers a nice atmosphere. None of our breakage money has been refunded to us yet and it's already almost 2 weeks later after we didn't physically break anything in the house over the whole weekend, because we took our own glasses with us precisely to prevent breakage.

Die vensters is intussen herstel en al die vensters maak nou weer maklik oop. Ek vra opreg om verskoning dat daar nie voldoende toiletpapier, opwasmiddel en sponsies was nie. Ek is 24/7 beskikbaar om enige probleme soos hierdie aan te spreek.
Een van die kaste was gesluit en die sleutel was weg nadat julle vertrek het. Daar was ook onverklaarbare vlekke in die bad. Die skoonmakers gebruik die kas om die beddegoed te bêre terwyl die linne gewas word en het my verseker die kas was nie gesluit nie en die sleutel was daar voor julle verblyf. Julle het gesê dat daar nie ‘n sleutel was nie en dat julle nie die kas gebruik het nie. As gevolg van die teenstrydigheid het ek die deposito teruggehou totdat ek agter die kap van die byl kon kom met die hoop dat ons die sleutel sou kry.
Op 6 Desember, 9 dae na julle verblyf, het jou mans vriend my weer geskakel en op grond van bostaande gesê dat ek ‘n gedeelte van die breekskade deposito kon gebruik om die koste te help dek. Ek het dieselfde dag gedeelte van julle deposito terugbetaal en het nie die volledige koste om die slot te vervang by julle afgetrek nie. Jou stelling oor die breekskade deposito is dus onakkuraat en gee nie al die relevante inligting nie. Verder het dit sedertdien aan die lig gekom dat julle wel die kas gebruik het en dit gesluit het. Jy het self bevestig dat dit jou swembroek is wat ons in die kas gekry het nadat ons dit oopgebreek het. Ek moes dus eintlik die volle koste vir die vervanging van die slot en herstel van die kas by julle afgetrek het.

It was a really nice weekend. The idea of being by the sea was very nice, but the money that was paid for the house I think is too much, the windows can't even be opened properly.
The wind just blows through it. It also leaked a lot in the hallway and on the porch where we have to hang out. I think they should fix the place first and take out all the old stuff and rent it out to the people. It smells very stuffy in the house. I know it might be the wood. There isn't even a decent broom and shovel that's right. Even fewer real winter blankets we could sleep with. It looked like old floor cloths.

Ek is baie bly julle het julle kuier op Struisbaai geniet en vra om verskoning dat alles nie aan julle standaarde voldoen het nie. Ons sal 'n punt maak daarvan om julle klagtes aan te spreek.
Daar is wel van die vensters wat nie kan oopmaak nie, maar Plottie het buitengewoon baie vensters en die oorgrootte meerderheid kan wel oopmaak en hou die wind uit wanneer dit behoorlik toegemaak word. Ons beplan om die vensters te vervang, maar daar is ongelukkig 'n vertraging by diensverskaffers agv COVID-19.
Die geut wat oorgeloop het was ongelukkig onvoorsiene en agv die stormweer op die dag met julle aankoms. Ek het 'n eenvoudige oplossing gegee wat die probleem binne minute aangespreek het.
Die komberse is nog goeie ou wolkomberse. Dit lyk miskien nie modern nie, maar ook definitief nie soos vloerlappe nie, en hou mens nog ordentlik warm al is dit hoe koud.

Affordable and ample space.
Plottie was great. The house is nice and big and the rooms are nicely spread out with plenty of sleeping space. The braai area is very nice to relax and the sea is within walking distance from the house. There were some problems: The internet is extremely slow and you can't do anything with it as well as only 1 GB of data means for the weekend but nothing especially if there is a large group, I will of course uncapped and a better speed is recommended, however, we are already in 2019 and I'm sure many guests are looking for something like this, especially to keep the children busy every now and then in the evenings. The microwave did not heat at all, no matter what setting we used. The tumble dryer warmed up a bit, but didn't spin at all so our clothes couldn't get dry, but we only realized this after we washed them. The main bathroom door has problems if you lock it from the inside you can't get it open again, a few of our people got stuck which meant we had to get the key from the other side of the house to the window and back to come and have trouble unlocking from the outside. There are other appliances in the kitchen that didn't work well either, but we worked around it and had a nice weekend. I will certainly be back once the above is sorted out and I am sure more people will also choose the accommodation in the future if it is sorted out. Thank you very much

Everyone in our party agreed that the place needs a good cleaning and that certain elements such as cracks and wooden windows need to be replaced. We couldn't even open windows for fresh air because the wooden frames were falling apart. Cupboards, drawers, carpets, floors, etc. needs a proper cleaning. We often rent through the website, but this was the worst unit we have ever lived in.

Disappointing and unhygienic.
Upon our arrival, the paint that is falling off the walls created a bad impression. The crockery in the cupboards was dirty and we had to wash everything. The dishwasher had with glasses and water already stinking. The previous tenants spilled in the fridge and it was left like that. In the oven stood a dirty frying pan. The carpets are dirty even the loose mats that are thrown over the dirty spots, perhaps a wash. Upon our arrival, one had a number 2, when he flushed the toilet everything pushed back. We called the owner and his answer was that he would not be able to get hold of anyone on a Friday night. On Saturday, someone came to look, he just said with the start that he was not a plumber, and guess what, he could not fix the toilet. We had to sit there all weekend with a number 2 in the one bathroom. The other bathroom's geyser did not heat up again, as a result, we all had to shower in the bathroom with the number 2 in the toilet. The owner did let us know outside in the square is another room with a toilet, but when we unlocked it, a sign read "please don't open the taps" on the taps. About 50% of the home's windows cannot open. Some of the windows do not close so there is a permanent pull in the rooms. I really feel that it was not value for my money. The layout of the house is very nice, but the owner will really need to renovate the house. I would not recommend Pottie at all.

Ons beplan om ook die vensters te vervang, maar daar is ongelukkig tans 'n vertraging by diensverskaffers agv COVID-19. Die realiteit is dat dit ongelukkig moeilik is om 'n loodgieter in die hande te kry op 'n Vrydagaand. Ek het dit net vooraf uitgewys, maar het wel een probeer kry. Vir die res is dit jammer dat baie van die klagtes nie onmiddelik met my opgeneem is nie aangesien daar eenvoudige oplossings was. In my verwelkomingsboodskap het ek spesifiek gevra dat julle nie moet huiwer om my te kontak indien daar enige vrae of probleme is nie.
1. Ek is nooit ingelig dat die nutsman nie die toilet reggemaak het nie anders sou ek iemand gekry het wat dit wel kon uitsorteer. Dit was dus definitief nie nodig om heel naweek met die probleem te sit nie.
2. Plottie het drie badkamers en al drie was eintlik uit die staanspoor beskikbaar. Dit is net per abuis dat ek agtergekom het julle is besig om die een kamer en badkamer heeltemal mis te kyk.
3. Ek is nooit gevra oor die rede vir die kennisgewing om nie die badkrane oop te maak nie anders sou ek as volg kon verduidelik. Dit is omdat die spesifieke krane foutief is en nie meer gebruik word nie. Die bad is omskep in 'n bad/stort en die oplossing is om eenvoudig die stort se krane te gebruik. Die spesifieke genoemde krane het dus geen impak op die gebruik van die badkamer nie.
4. Ek is nooit ingelig oor die geyser wat nie warm maak nie. Die spesifieke geyser het 'n skakelaar in die kamer wat ongelukkig soms per abuis deur gaste afgesit word.
'n Enkele oproep of boodskap wat vra oor die krane se kennisgewing en koue geyser sou dus onmiddelik verseker het dat julle twee bruikbare toilette en twee warm storte tot julle beskikking sou hê. Dit is nou selfs voordat die probleem in die derde badkamer aangespreek word en hiervoor was dit ook net nodig om my te laat weet dat die nutsman dit nie uitsorteer het nie.

The location of the place is good but the advertisement is not what the place is.
The location of the house is good. My first problem was the WiFi and DStv, the advertisement does not tell the truth about the advantages that the place has. Only when the deposit is paid, then all the disappointments come. The house is not very clean. The curtains, in one of the bedrooms were broken, the bedding in another bedroom was dirty, the other bedding that was provided smelled bad. The stove in the kitchen only has two plates that work. Not enough toilet paper was provided for 16 people, there was hand wash in the bathrooms, but the containers were empty. We did not have access to the DStv and WiFi the first night and only late on the second night were we able to use the television and the WiFi. We as family and friends were not impressed with the place and did not get value for our money. We will therefore never use Plottie again. I also request that the advertisement should be the true reflection of the place and at the moment it is not.

Plottie 's response
Ek wil eerstens opreg om verskoning vra dat Plottie nie aan u verwagtinge voldoen het nie.
Ek verskaf gratis Wi-Fi, maar dit is nie onbeperk nie. Die advertensie sê dat gaste toegang het tot gratis Wi-Fi, nie onbeperkte gratis Wi-Fi nie, en is dus korrek. Die webblad het ongelukkig net 'n opsie om "Gratis Wi-Fi" aan te dui en nie "Gratis Beperkte Wi-Fi" nie. Daarom wys ek die beperking uit in die opvolg e-pos en op Plottie se webblad wat aan gaste gestuur word sodat enige probleem met die beperking vroegtydig aangespreek kan word. Die Wi-Fi is meestal voldoende vir gaste, maar daar is 'n opsie om addisionele data teen die verskaffer se standaard tariewe te koop. Ek het nietemin in u geval gratis addisionele Wi-Fi aan u verskaf toe ek besef dat die beperkte data vir u 'n probleem was.
Ek het die korrekte Wi-Fi wagwoord aan u verskaf die aand van u aankoms en het daardie aand geen verdere navrae hieroor ontvang nie. Ek het eers die tweede aand 'n boodskap oor probleme met die Wi-Fi vanaf u ontvang. Ek het u onmiddellik geskakel, ons het vasgestel dat u aan die verkeerde netwerk probeer verbind het en die probleem was dus onmiddellik aangespreek nadat ek bewus gemaak is daarvan.
Die DStv word aangeskakel vir die spesifieke periode wat gaste bespreek en soms is die eerste poging om dit aanlyn te aktiveer nie suksesvol nie. Ek het dit reeds op die eerste aand vir die tweede keer aktiveer, onmiddellik nadat ek u boodskap ontvang het dat die eerste aktivering onsuksesvol was. Ek het spesifiek gevra dat u moet bevestig of dit aangeskakel is en het daarna geen verdere terugvoer hieroor ontvang nie. Die tweede poging op die eerste aand was dus suksesvol.
Wat u ander klagtes betref. Ek gebruik professionele skoonmaak- en wasgoeddienste ek was dus heeltemal uit die veld geslaan deur u bewerings.
U terugvoer word egter ter harte geneem en ek het dit met die diensverskaffers bespreek. Ons poog altyd om te verbeter.

Fantastic weekend!
I had a wonderful weekend with friends in Struisbaai at Plottie. The house has everything and more. I was very impressed with the DStv. We could watch rugby and chill by the fire. I will recommend this house to a big group of people as there is enough places to sleep for everyone (14). We were just 11. My next outing to Plottie will be during the summer. Thanks very much for a wonderful birthday weekend and thanks to Andre who helped me so much.
