Peaceful coastal town providing the ideal stay for rest and relaxation.

Witsand was a lovely break away. The cottage was clean and had a great fireplace, which was perfect for the rainy weather we had. The host was so helpful and an excellent hostess. We really enjoyed the large selection of crafts and delicious rosterkoek at the local market.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Hybre! I'm so glad you enjoyed Witsand and the cottage even in the bad weather. Hope to see you again one day! Keep well!

Soos altyd was dit wonderlik!

Enigste negatiewe punt was: Die sambreel vir buite is gebreek - sal great wees as dit vervang of herstel kan word.

As always it was great!

Only negative point was: The outdoor umbrella was broken - would be great if it could be replaced or repaired.

Ons het heerlik gekuier in die pragtige cottage. Als wat mens nodig het, is daar. Ook 'n heerlike kaggel binne. Teresa is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig.

Sal graag weer wil kom.

Pragtige, netjiese plekkie. Sal vir seker weer daarvan gebruik maak.

Dit was so 'n lekker paar dae, die lekker reën het ons van niks teruggehou nie, dankie River View Cottage, julle is awesome, ons sien julle binnekort weer.

Dankie River Lodge Breede River, ons verblyf was baie lekker, so baie dankie vir die gasvryheid, ons waardeer dit baie. En ons het darem nie verniet op 'n mission gegaan nie, die Here het ons geseën met 'n paar visse. Al was die water hoe bruin van al die lekker reën. Witsand sal altyd ons visvangplek bly.

It was such a nice few days, the nice rain didn't hold us back from anything, thank you River View Cottage, you guys are awesome, we'll see you again soon.

Thank you River Lodge Breede River, our stay was very nice, so thank you very much for the hospitality, we really appreciate it. And at least we didn't go on a mission for nothing, the Lord blessed us with a few fish. Even though the water was brown from all the nice rain. Witsand will always remain our fishing spot.

Pikante plekkie - baie goed toegerus

Die eienaars se diens was uiters goed. Die eenheid was baie skoon en alles wat ons nodig gehad het was daar. 'n Bonus was die skottelgoedwasmasjien, privaat braai-area en om die Springbokke se game op die volle DStv-pakket te kon kyk. Ongelukkig het Cell C geen opvangs nie, maar die eenheid se Wi-Fi het gesorg dat ons in kontak kon bly. Die eenheid het wel baie bedompig geruik - volgens die eienaar was dit die onlangse reën en die feit dat die dak van gras is. Ons het wel grondpad Witsand toe gery aangesien ons nie geweet het van die teerpad nie. Volg hulle aanwysings en draai af op die R322 voor Heidelberg.

Spicy place - very well equipped

The owners' service was extremely good. The unit was very clean and everything we needed was there. A bonus was the dishwasher, private braai area and being able to watch the Springboks' game on the full DStv package. Unfortunately, Cell C has no reception, but the unit's Wi-Fi ensured we could stay in touch. The unit did smell very musty - according to the owner it was the recent rain and the fact that the roof is grass. We did drive to Witsand on a dirt road as we didn't know about the tarmac. Follow their directions and turn off onto the R322 before Heidelberg.

We are glad you enjoyed it there as well, and the DStv, dishwasher and braai.
Apologies the thatch was damp after the heavy rains, I will have it looked at as soon as possible.

Lovely view and all necessities available.

Comfortable and the house was equipped with the necessities. Didn't like the fact that the neighbor had a dog that pooed in front of my entrance to cottage. The shower is a bit slippery (ask the wife), noisy neighbors across the way. Other than the interruptions we had an awesome time. Will definitely be coming back.

River View Cottage at the Breede 's response

Dear Tony,

Thanks for your review.

I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for staying.

I'm sorry about the dog situation at the entrance. It must have been the neighbours guests who brought a dog.

I also must apologise about the slippery shower, we have a non slip mat in there all the time as I know it can be slippery but Therese told me her cleaning lady took it home to wash it and forgot to return it.

And the noisy neighbours, sigh, that we unfortunately have no control over. Sorry they disturbed you.

Anytime you want to come again please let me know and I'll look after you.

Thanks again
Best regards
Aissa

Lekker gekuier in 'n oulike kothuis.

Die kothuis is smaakvol gemeubileer en goed toegerus. Dit het sy eie braaiplek agter en lieflike stoep voor met rivier uitsig. Die huisie is op die punt geleë naaste aan die Breede River Lodge se ingang, gevolglik is dit naby die ingangshek. Dit het nie te veel gepla nie en ons sal beslis weer hier tuisgaan.

Have a nice time in a cute cottage.

The cottage is tastefully furnished and well equipped. It has its own braai area at the back and lovely porch at the front with a river view. The cottage is located on the point closest to the Breede River Lodge's entrance, therefore it is close to the entrance gate. It wasn't too much trouble and we would definitely stay here again.

Rustig.

Witsand-winkels se voorraad is baie duur en verskeidenheid is beperk - probeer dus meeste kruideniersware saamneem. Nella se winkel het egter goedkoop en heerlike tuisgebakte brood en lekkernye soos fudge en klapperys.

Restful.

Witsand shops stock is very expensive and variety is limited - so try to take most groceries with you. However, Nella's shop has cheap and delicious home-baked bread and treats such as fudge and coconut rice.
