Weekend away in Port Alfred to visit friends who live there.
We had a very nice stay. The place is neat and well equipped. Nice view of the sea and it's close to restaurants and the beach. Everything was very pleasant.

Hi Tshepo,
Thank you for the lovely revue. We are so pleased that you all enjoyed your stay even though Mauwi is a bit of a nuisance. He loves being with people and as you said has been spoilt by other guests who love cats.
Please feel free to come again and we shall try and keep Mauwi on a leash.
Regards, Dave.

Relaxing and peaceful.
Pyramid House By the Sea 's response
Hi Cherean,
I realise now that you have a fear of steps so ours was not the ideal venue. There are one or two guest houses right on the beach road, without any steps, that may have suited you better. Most visitors are on holiday and tend to eat out, negating the need for a bigger fridge. However, I feel sure you enjoyed your relaxing stay.

Very calm.
Apart from the fact that I had trouble finding the place due to the fact that I had lost my accommodation document at the office, Dave was very helpful. The agent was not very accommodating when I contacted to get the contact details of the owner. I was under tremendous stress because I was alone and it was getting dark. After a long conversation she gave me the owner's contact number. My visit was really pleasant, very considerate and accommodating owner with the friendliest dogs and garden help. The interior decoration was also very stylish and warm. Apart from the slight problem I was quite happy there. Thanks Dave.

We felt like we were staying with our parents for the weekend, we had no privacy, owners were not friendly at all.
Pyramid House By the Sea 's response
These four ladies and their driver did not realise that they had booked to stay at a room in a private home, in a quiet, up-market suburb in Port Alfred. I only asked them politely to keep the noise down when they started shouting and laughing in our pool, above the sound of their boom box, to the extent that my wife and could not hear the TV or have a conversation. Their suggestion was that we should close our door as they were having fun. Other than that I allowed them to use our gas braai and did not complain about the driver being around most of the time as their guest. I think their review is harsh but not unexpected considering their attitude.

Not to recommend.
Room was not ready at check-in time. Uncomfortable couch. No water during loadshedding.

I believe people should be fair in their reviews. Catharina booked for the 1st of May which was a public holiday. The previous guests left just after 10:00 which meant my wife and I had to service and clean the apartment as the cleaner had the day off. We did our best to be ready by 14:00 and were a few minutes late. I am not sure which "rusbank" was not comfortable as the double bed has a lovely new mattress and the couches in the lounge are fairly new as I made them not more than two years ago. No previous guests have complained in this respect.
Load shedding is a national problem. Our solar inverter allows all the lights and certain key plugs to keep functioning. As our municipal water supply is very erratic, and often not available, we use rainwater which has to be pumped. Unfortunately, the inverter cannot handle this extra load.

Hi Candice,
Delene and I are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us.
Feel free to contact us again when you need another break.
At present our daughter and her family have returned from a 3 year stint in New Zealand and are occupying the Airbnb until the house they are revamping is finished and their furniture has arrived. Could be quite a few months. Kind regards,
Dave

Die akkommodasie is netjies en luuks met sommige gebreke. Toeganklikheid nie geskik vir senior burgers of mense met klein kinders wat baie steil trappe na die akkommodasie moet op en afklim nie.

The accommodation is neat and luxurious with some flaws. Accessibility not suitable for senior citizens or people with small children who have to go up and down very steep stairs to the accommodation.
The kitchen facilities are inefficient. Tiny sink to wash utensils, no hot water in tap, no stove or hotplates to prepare food, tiny fridge inadequate to store frozen goods, no keys to lock outside doors, windows not allowed to be opened for fresh air. Water problems in bathroom were solved after complaining about it.

The place was absolutely beautiful just a pity that we could not use the swimming pool which my child was looking forward to. Parking was also not secured.
Pyramid House By the Sea 's response
Hi Stefanie, If you recall the weather was cold and windy and certainly not ideal for swimming which is why I suggested you go to the indoor, heated pool.
It certainly was not a case of me not wanting to take off the pool cover as I would gladly have done this if you had asked me.
We have security beams all around our house and protecting the cars parked in the driveway. Should anyone walk past, the siren will sound and we are immediately in contact with Multi Security to sort out any issues.
