Die inboek en verlaat is baie goed gereel. Het die patio baie geniet.

Die verblyf was meer as wat ons kon verwag. Die eenheid was baie netjies en skoon. Alles wat ons benodig het was daar. Baie privaat, ons het dit geniet om die see te hoor, en naby aan die strand.

Dit was grieflik maar nie vir 'n naweek wegbreek nie.

Die verblyf was goed. Daar was net nie 'n ordentlike stofie om kos te maak nie. Slegs 'n gasbottel met 'n cooker top. Die plek is meer geskik vir sakereisigers. Ek wou 'n plekkie hê met 'n braai gerief. Die kuierplek was aan die voorkant (straatkant) van die gebou en nie omhein en privaat nie. Daar was wel 'n klein mobiele braai.

It was awful but not for a weekend getaway.

The stay was good. There just wasn't a decent substance to cook on. Only a gas bottle with a cooker top. The place is more suitable for business travelers. I wanted a place with a barbecue facility. The hangout was at the front (street side) of the building and not fenced and private. There was a small mobile braai.

Hi Marina
Sorry to hear that you did not find the 2-plate stove in the kitchenette cupboard. The gas bottle is primarily there for loadshedding or to cook outside on the patio. Over and above the portable braai, there is also a small Weber too. The road is very quiet with hardly any vehicles over a weekend.

Baie gemiddeld.

Die plekkie is net vir 1 of 2 nagte se oorslaap. Jy braai in die straat en as jy 'n buitekuiermens is, is die plek nie vir jou nie.

Translate to English.

Very average.

The place is only for 1 or 2 nights' sleep. You barbecue in the street and if you are an outdoors person, the place is not for you.

Sandy Footprints 's response

Thank you for your feedback.

Braai: The braaiing area is in front of the unit, with a large driveway area between the unit and the road - you're definitely not braaiing in the street. The patio has astro and a 2-seater bench and table (guests are also welcome to use the chairs from the unit too), with a draw-down blind for added privacy and weather protection. There is a portable braai, along with a small Webber for use by our guests on the pavers.
Location: Our beautiful St Helena Bay is a quiet 'fishing' village that is extremely peaceful, the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of general life. The unit is diagonally across from the beach path that leads to the stunning and pristine Golden Mile Beach itself, allowing for a beautiful mile long, uninterrupted beach walk for guests that enjoy the outdoors.

Baie mooi en netjies en skoon.

Alles was presies soos ons verwag het. Ons het dit baie geniet en sal graag weer daar gaan kuier. Daar kort 'n buite asdrom om die binne asdrom te kan leeg maak. 'n Besem sal ook baie welkom wees om seesand te kan uitvee. Die afdakkie voor die kamer is ook ietwat kort, die middagson brand fel op die kamer en maak dit baie warm. 'n Motorafdak sal ook welkom wees, die motors staan ook heeldag in die felle son. 'n Klein braaitjie sal ook welkom wees.

Very nice and neat and clean.

Everything was exactly as we expected. We really enjoyed it and would love to visit again. There is a lack of an outside ash bin to be able to empty the inside ash bin. A broom would also be very welcome to sweep away sea sand. The canopy in front of the room is also somewhat short, the afternoon sun burns fiercely on the room and makes it very hot. A carport would also be welcome, the cars are also standing in the bright sun all day. A small braai would also be welcome.

Sandy Footprints 's response

Hi Koos,

Thank you for your feedback. The unit is defined as a bachelor unit and has a large window and door for ventilation.

The Braai area is the entire front area of your unit on the pavers and as it is a portable braai, can be placed wherever you would prefer it to be, with a bench with large cushions to sit on, or white chairs that you can place around the braai itself.

We offer a self check-in and check-out facility as we value our guests privacy. Detailed instructions and general info is emailed (and whatsapped) to our guests before your check in time. We are also available on our cell phone at any time during your stay, should you need us to assist. Apologies if we made you feel unwelcome in any way, that was definitely not our intention - we just respected your privacy.

Warm regards,
Sandy Footprints Family

Thank you for your input.

Regarding size, Sandy Footprints is defined as a Bachelor pad with the pictures clearly showing the compactness of the unit. We are fully equipped for self-catering with a 2-plate stove, microwave, bar-fridge etc., including all the necessary pots, crockery and other essentials. There is also a wooden table and bench on the little patio with a portable braai that can be used on the pavers right outside the unit.

We are on Golden Mile Boulevard across the road from the beautiful Golden Mile Beach, not even 80 steps away from the beach path itself. The sound of the waves can even keep you awake at night.

It is self - check in as we value the privacy of our guests. However we send an intro and welcome WhatsApp on the day of arrival assuring you that we are available to assist in any way, should the need arise.

Love the area and the fact that we were a few steps away from the beach!

I would like to make comment of the following: We were very happy with the type of accommodation. Everything was spotless and clean. Thank you for the towels and bathroom accessories, makes a holiday pleasant when the bathrooms are fully equipped with shampoo and shower gel and towels. I have the following points I would like to make. There is a bad smell of mold in the room, and for someone like myself with sinus and hayfever, this smell triggers these ailments. Sandy Footprint needs to sort out the smell as it's not a nice smell, especially when entering the room after being out for the day. Then the shower is extremely slow, we have had to run the water for a period of time (which in my opinion is wasting water) before it actually gets hot and the pressure of the shower is extremely soft. They need to look at these 2 points.

Sandy Footprints 's response

Hi Wendy,
We are so glad that you loved our little St Helena Bay and hope you felt a bit "pampered". Thank you too, for bringing these points to our attention.
With regards to the smell of mould, we will definitely look into it as it is a new build and it could possibly still be the glue from the joinery curing. Apologies for this. On top of it being flower season here, that would not have helped your hay-fever and sinus.
We have called in our plumber to have a look at the shower. Fortunately we do have a Grey Water System, so no water goes to waste, and hopefully he can find a solution.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention and we will endeavor to try and sort the above out as soon as possible. Stay safe.
Warm regards,
Sandy Footprints family.

Good area, nice place if you like to be out all day.

Sewage smell in apartment, no braai facilities. Stoep small and not conducive to sitting outside, otherwise everything good.

Hi Marlene

Thank you for your feedback and glad that you enjoyed your stay.

There is a Braai that is stored in the outside bench, info was supplied on your check-in email and also written on your welcome pamphlet. So sorry you were not aware of that.

The stoep has a wooden bench for 2, with large cushions and a wooden table, along with the use of the white chairs for your added comfort which you can move around when braaing.

We will definitely look into the sewerage smell.
