Comfortable and spacious with beach access.

Great hosts. Good location in Cape St Francis with nearby shops and restaurants. The property has been slightly weathered by the sea air over the years. There is vehicle access right up to the door.

Net wat jy nodig het.

Sandown is op die strand geleë met 'n mooi houtpaadjie wat na die strand toe lei. Die eenheid is baie eenvoudig, maar het alles wat 'n mens sou nodig hê vir 'n naweekwegbreek. Die dorpie is stil, veilig en beskik oor oulike eetplekke, uitkykpunte en staproetes.

Just what you need.

Sandown is situated on the beach with a nice wooden path leading down to the beach. The unit is very basic but has everything one would need for a weekend getaway. The village is quiet, safe and has cute places to eat, lookouts and walking trails.

Sandown Self-Catering was perfect for our needs. Absolutely spotless.

The bonus of the path straight from the property to the beach - saw our boys grab their boards and disappear. Beautiful views from the top unit - wish our stay had been longer.

Net vir jong mense - ander eenheid.

Het nie in Sandown Self-Catering gebly nie a.g.v. troeteldiere. Hulle advertensie gesê jy kan troeteldiere bring indien gereël. Maar by aanhoor van dit geskuif na ander eenheid. Dit is geskik vir jongmense. Bietjie beknop. Was bietjie bang met motor wat buite moes staan deur die nag. Aandag kan gegee word aan linne (kussings en beddens).

Only for young people - other unit.

Did not stay in Sandown Self-Catering due to pets. Their ad said you can bring pets if arranged. But on hearing it moved to another unit. It is suitable for young people. A bit cramped. Was a bit scared with car that had to be parked outside during the night. Attention can be given to linen (pillows and beds).

Sandown Self-Catering 's response

Dear Giep and Enalien, I am sorry you were disappointed with the alternate accommodation provided. The reason why dogs are allowed by arrangement only is that only one of our flats at Sandown is pet-friendly. When you requested to book, that flat was already occupied for your date, so I offered you Mooring 2, a one-bedroom flat, at Anchorage. You were at liberty not to take the offer. The off-street parking is right outside your door, as it would also have been, at Sandown. You will have noticed that very few properties in Cape St Francis have walled gardens. I am sorry you found the beds and pillows uncomfortable. They are all under 3 years old, but I will certainly check their acceptability with future guests. Thank you for taking the time to make me aware.

Sandown is really close to the beach - just a short walk down a path to the dunes, and then the sea!

Oornagverblyf op pad na George.

Ons het heerlik gebly en het sommer ook die geleentheid gebruik om die omgewing te verken. Die krag was af weens stormweer maar die gasvrou was so gaaf om vroegoggend vir ons kookwater te bring.

Overnight stay on the way to George.

We had a wonderful stay and simply took the opportunity to explore the area. The power was out due to stormy weather but the hostess was kind enough to bring us boiling water early in the morning.

Amper op die strand, loopafstand van eetplekke, lekker wegbreek vir die naweek!

Buite seisoen beste tyd om verblyf te benut vir net 2 persone, of om as gesin al die eenhede te bespreek vir meer privaatheid. Baie goeie ligging. Lekker gebly!

Almost on the beach, walking distance to places to eat, nice getaway for the weekend!

Off-season best time to take advantage of accommodation for just 2 people, or to book all the units as a family for more privacy. Very good location. Nice stay!

The accommodation is simple but we loved our stay there and will definitely be going back.

We stayed in the 1st floor apartment and the views are to die for. It is open-plan kitchen, dining and bedroom with a separate toilet and shower. The kitchen facilities are adequate, but would have liked a bigger fridge. It borders a large and bushy open space with a path leading down to the beach. We loved it there and highly recommend it to any couple looking for a relaxed stay in Cape St Francis.

Baie gemiddeld tot pateties.

Die eienaars was met my aankoms teen 14:45 nie voorbereid om my te ontvang nie. Kamer en badkamer was steeds nie gereed nie. Die alternatief was 'n buite gebou/woonstel. Die TV word beheer deur die eienaar vanuit die woning en jy sal maar moet tevrede wees om te kyk wanneer en wat hulle kyk. Na aankoms het die eienaars verdwyn en is hulle nie weer gesien tot met vertrek nie.

Very average to pathetic.

The owners were not prepared to receive me when I arrived at 14:45. Room and bathroom were still not ready. The alternative was an outside building/apartment. The TV is controlled by the owner from the residence and you will just have to be content to watch when and what they watch. Upon arrival the owners disappeared and were not seen again until departure.

Place to sleep after a long day.

There are a lot of cockroaches running around the room and all the cupboards smell like they haven't been opened in a long time. The 2 single bed mattresses are old and should have been changed several years ago.
