Amazing.

Awesome! Waking up to the sounds of birds and waves breaking from a distance was my favorite. Very peaceful and safe. Had the pool to ourselves for the entire weekend! Had so much fun. Will definitely go back with my children. They love horses, and the wild horses around there will make their day every day!

Seas the Sun 's response

I'm hoping you will return one day, Gadija. It was a pleasure having you to stay! Thank you for being such lovely guests.
Kindest regards to you both, Lori.

Uitstekende plek vir die professionele sakeman wat stilte en vrede om jou ore nodig het.

Lekker naby aan die Estuary, kan met laagwater deurstap na die ander eiland, maar hou jou handdoek hoog en brille hoog. Baie perde gesien.

Excellent place for the professional businessman who needs silence and peace around your ears.

Nice close to the Estuary, can walk through to the other island at low tide, but keep your towel high and glasses high. Saw many horses.

Heerlik gebly.

Ons gasvrou was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam en het gereeld kontak gemaak om uit te vind of alles reg is. Dis heerlik om op die stoep te sit en ontspan en die voëltjies kuier gereeld. Die huis is gemaklik en die kombuis is goed toegerus. Ons het baie lekker gekuier.

Ons het ons verblyf vreeslik baie geniet. Die huis het alles wat jy nodig het en meer.

Seas the Sun is definitief waarde vir geld. Het sommer van die intrapslag welkom gevoel en het gevoel soos ons huis weg van die huis af. Baie stil en rustig. Ons het die voëltjies vreeslik geniet wat vroegoggend al kom môre sê het en die kinders het dit geniet om hulle te voer. Werklik 'n heerlike plek naby alles. Baie dankie Lori vir die ekstra moeite om ons welkom te laat voel.

We really enjoyed the birds that came early in the morning to say tomorrow and the children enjoyed feeding them. Really a lovely place close to everything. Thank you very much Lori for the extra effort to make us feel welcome.

A restful stay in a comfortable chalet in beautiful, peaceful surroundings.

Our stay at Seas the Sun exceeded our expectations. Located near the mouth of the Bot River estuary on the eastern side, the chalet is in a secure, well-maintained estate. We spent a long weekend there with our daughter and son-in-law. The chalet had everything we needed, with two bathrooms, comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen, two lounges and a covered patio with a built-in braai and shelter from the southeasterly wind. The garden was full of birds that we fed with the supplied birdseed and very small pieces of cheese! Favourites included a very tame fiscal flycatcher, an olive thrush, two Cape robin-chats and a family of Cape spurfowl (francolins). The clear water of the estuary was a five-minute walk away, as was the beach. Although the beach is not suitable for swimming, Onrus Beach is just a 15-minute drive away. We arranged through Lori, the owner, to hire the two waveskis that are kept at the chalet, and members of the group enjoyed paddling on the estuary. Each evening we walked down to the estuary to enjoy the spectacular sunsets. We would unreservedly recommend Seas the Sun for people wanting a restful getaway in beautiful, peaceful surroundings.

Peace and tranquility and family friendly.

Lori, welcomed us after our booking was cancelled by another place. She really went out of her way to accommodate us at a really bad time. The place is on a lagoon and the sound of the ocean was so peaceful. The accommodation itself was more than I expected it was just the right size for a family with young children.

Wi-Fi signal a serious problem.

Little to no Wi-Fi signal which was a very big problem.

Seas the Sun 's response

Just for all our guests information, I have tried all options to improve the strength at Chalet 5 but due to the line of sight there is not much more that the service provider can do. I sincerely apologize for this and will keep trying to improve it. The signal strength is fine for normal communications, emails, cellphone use but slow if you want to download movies etc. We have DStv available for you. I always make this clear on my information letter prior to anyone booking, and I tried to improve the situation to the best of my ability at the time of Vic's booking, but was unable to.
