We are pensioners and travel around 6 months a year. Our review is always honest.

We are pensioners and travel around 6 months a year. Our review is always honest and objective with the purpose to advise other visitors and the owners to improve where possible. Sea view is nice, veranda is halfway covered with glass on south and east side to protect from rain and wind. The veranda was dirty on arrival with old mop cleaning marks. House not sparkling clean either. House is very spacious for holiday accommodation. Nice genuine leather sofa set corner unit. Adequately equipped. Needs a pasta/rice strainer though, the old small rusted flour sift is really inadequate and not usable at all. BBQ built in on porch very nice, under cover out of sun and rain. However, the braai has a fixed height grid about 30cm above coals, requiring the use of a full 4 to 5kg bag of charcoal for one BBQ that burns out very fast. On our arrival, the BBQ was still full of old ash from previous braai of visitors which I just ignored and made fire on top of it. The braai grid was dirty. The grids at the bottom are totally out of lifespan service and patched with pieces of other dilapidated grid. The road up is very steep and narrow, even for a medium-sized SUV, fold in your mirrors. The garage too is very narrow, passenger/s left must exit vehicle while outside and only the driver can get out when parked close to left wall. Difficult limited manoeuvring space when reversing out of garage with SUVs, but you can get in and out eventually. Entering directly into home from garage is a huge plus, no steps anywhere. Dressing tables had no chairs in all 3 rooms. Dining room seats 6 persons on old nostalgic wooden table/chairs, adequate but the table spread was clearly not washed from previous visitors' use. No decoder, cable is provided to connect own decoder or laptop if you bring it along. Zero WiFi, must bring own. Main bedroom has a bath only, 2nd shared bathroom has a shower. Both have toilets fortunately. Only one roll of toilet tissue is provided per bathroom for a week…bring/buy some more! Only one refuse bag for the week, it smelled horrible the last 2 days if you open the trash storage. The fridge/freezer combo is quite small for a place that can accommodate 6/8 persons, we struggled to fit stuff for 2 persons for 4 nights. More than 2 persons will have to buy provisions rather every day or two. No aircon, only ceiling fans which was fine during our visit, was extremely cold after snow in late Sept 2024. No daily cleaning services, unexpected and not mentioned on website. No towels provided, had to buy our own, unexpected and not mentioned on website. Kitchen needs oven gloves/mittens. The main bedroom does not have a bed headboard. Looks silly and raw bricks behind your head. Mattress in main bedroom very hard, feels like sleeping on floor. But that is personal opinion, many people like such hard mattresses. A small 350ml bottle with dishwashing liquid (1/4 full) is provided, and an old dilapidated rag was provided to dry dishes with. We bought a decent bottle of dishwashing liquid, dishwashing cloth and drying cloth. (And took it when we left.) Neighbours in nr 4 (permanent residents it seems, do not know) were very loud and children extremely irritating at times. Units share a single layer wall and could hear all the loud conversations via wooden door/wall connecting/splitting the units. The dogs opposite the street to the left barked at every pedestrian. To make matters worse, the permanent residents on the stand to the right when facing the sea from unit 3, keep three dogs which woke us up several times a night with barking. Irritating. (Even the unattended garden of neighbours is a sore eye.) Can I recommend this place? After the week we started liking the place more. So many improvements can be made to make it more up to standard. The Google map on the website is indicating a wrong address, there is a Queen Street, Queen Elizabeth Street and Queen Elizabeth Drive in this small area! Fortunately, the map you receive with keys at Sasol in Margate has a correct map. Die water on South Coast is very poor quality, buy some and refill your cans, many places around refilling/selling decent/safe drinking water.

Queen Elizabeth is 'n prag plek,die eenheid is baie skoon en op 'n baie goeie ligging, ons was verbaas dat daar als in die eenheid is wat mens nodig het.

Al wat ek kan voorstel is 'n dubbelbed in die hoofslaapkamer, daar's tans twee goeie enkelbeddens in maar daar's 'n gaping tussen in die twee beddens. Vat vir julle genoeg drink water saam. Die water op die Suidkus is van baie swak gehalte.

Queen Elizabeth is a beautiful place, the unit is very clean and in a very good location, we were surprised that there is everything in the unit that you need.

All I can suggest is a double bed in the main bedroom, there are currently two good single beds in there but there is a gap between the two beds. Take enough drinking water with you. The water on the South Coast is of very poor quality.

Verblyf was meer as wat ons verwag het. Is naby aan als, loopafstand van die strande af, pragtige see-uitsig. Was die moeite werd en sal self weer teruggaan vir 'n vakansie.

Woonstel is gemaklik en die groot braai-area is pragtig met 'n see-uitsig. Sal net woonstel se foto's van binne-in update van die vertrekke en meubels, daar is veranderings aangebring.

Baie, baie lekker.

Dankie dat ons in so 'n netjiese, skoon, ruim en veilige plek kon bly. Die feit dat jou motor in 'n garage is wat aan die eenheid gekoppel is is 'n groot bonus. Die stoep maak als nog meer die moeite werd. Die uitsig oor die see is asemrowend. Die breek van die branders teen die rotse het so 'n rustige effek op jou dat jy al jou probleme vergeet en behoorlik jou batterye kan herlaai. Weereens baie dankie. Sal enige iemand aanbeveel om hier te kom vakansie hou. Alle reëlings was so maklik.

Thank you for staying in such a neat, clean, spacious and safe place. The fact that your car is in a garage attached to the unit is a huge bonus. That pavement makes everything even more worthwhile. The view of the sea is breathtaking. Breaking the waves against the rocks has such a tranquil effect on you that you forget all your problems and properly recharge your batteries. Thanks again. Would recommend anyone to come here for a holiday. All arrangements were so easy.

Iets besonders, baie lekker vakansie gewees.

Wat 'n besonderse vakansie. Die plek was skoon en so mooi toegerus met alles. Die gasbraaier was nou voorwaar 'n wenner gewees. Die beste was om by die vuur te sit en kuier terwyl jy oor die see uitkyk. Dit was regtig iets besonders ons hele ervaring van die dag wat ons daar ingestap het. Ons kan nie wag om weer te gaan nie.

What a special holiday. The place was clean and so nicely equipped with everything. The gas grill was truly a winner. The best was sitting by the fire and visiting while looking out over the sea. It was really something special our whole experience of the day we walked in there. We can't wait to go again.

'n Tuiste weg van jou eie huis!

Dit was 'n ongelooflike gesinsvakansie. Die huis was toeganklik vir ouer gardes en veilig vir babas. Die eienaar was baie gaaf en georganiseerd met die reëlings vir die sleutel. Ons sal nooit weer van ander verblyf gebruik maak nie!

Vakansie bederf deur misdaad en sukkel om deposito van die agent terug te kry.

Kom ons begin by die positiewe. Dis ‘n pragtige, ruim eenheid met ‘n lekker stoep en mooi uitsig oor die branders, teen ‘n billike prys. Ons vakansie is egter bederf deur ‘n inbraak op die eerste aand. Twee selfone en twee tabletrekenaars is gesteel terwyl ons geslaap het. Ek moet noem dat ons die hoofslaapkamer se glasdeur oopgelos het deur die nag, omdat dit op die eerste verdieping is. Daar is egter geen diefwering by die glasdeure nie, en die diefwering by die vensters is onvoldoende. Die agent het my laat weet dat so iets nog nooit gebeur het nie, maar verskeie permanente inwoners in die omgewing het my verseker dat so tipe diefstal baie algemeen is by die eenheid. Ons moes dus die res van die vakansie met toe deure en vensters deurbring en dit was baie bedompig. Die lekker geruis van die see kon ons ook nie meer snags hoor nie. Die meeste van die eenhede in die omgewing het diefwering by alle vensters en deure, selfs tot op die sesde verdiepings. Die advertensie meld ook dat die deposito terugbetaalbaar is binne 30 dae. Dit is nou 42 dae sedert ons vertrek by die eenheid, en die deposito is steeds nie terugbetaal nie. Die agent verseker my hulle gaan dit binnekort terugbetaal. Spaar jouself eerder die moeite om hierdie eenheid te besoek.

Holiday was spoiled by crime and it was difficult to get the deposit back from the agent.

Let's start with the positives. It is a beautiful, spacious unit with a nice patio and a stunning view of the breakers, and it is affordable. But our holiday was spoiled by a burglary on the first night. Two cellphones and two tablet computers stolen while we were asleep. I have to admit we didn't close the glass doors of the main bedroom at night because we were on the first floor. No burglar bars at the glass doors, and the burglar bars at the windows are not up to it. According to the agent this never happened before, but according to the locals this kind of thing is quite common at this unit. So the rest of the holiday we had to keep all the windows and doors closed, so it became very stuffy. So we had to go without the soothing whisper of the ocean in the background. The majority of units in the area have burglar bars at all the windows and doors, all the way up to the sixth story. According to the ad the deposit is refundable within 30 days. We've been waiting 42 days now, still no refund. The agent says it will be paid back soon. Don't bother to book this unit.

Queen Elizabeth 3 's response

Baie dankie vir jou eerlike resensie.
Ek is baie jammer om te hoor van jou verlies. Ons probeer regtig die veiligheid opskerp waar ons kan, maar misdaad bly ‘n algemene probleem maak nie saak waar jy in S.A. kom nie.
Ons gaan verdere verbeteringe aanbring en ons is besig om kwotasies te kry vir tralie deure by die skuifdeure op die stoep. Verder wil ons ook ekstra alarm sensor op die stoep bysit.
Ek het die breekskade deposito terugbetaling, met die agent wat die bespreking gemaak het, op gevolg en dit behoort binnekort in jou rekening te verskyn.
Vriendelike groete
Eienaar
