It was okay.

It is okay if you stay for only 2 nights. Requires you to have your own transport. It was a weird experience. Because their version of self-catering is that they don't provide room service, no change of towels, no tea bags, coffee and sugar sachets, only one toilet paper provided on arrival. Not recommended for 7 nights. Not so comfortable beds.

Serendipity Selfsorg 's response

Dear Valentiah. I do not normally respond to people' s review unless I find it a bit harsh and unfair and I am glad that the booking platform does offer a way to respond. How do I respond to your bad review? I will start to say that it is unfortunate that you did not enjoy your stay and I know that your review mostly is due to the fact that you did not plan well. Being a place suitable for a two night stay only is not what others think. In the past there were bookings from a few weeks to a few months to even a year booking. Selfcatering does however mean that you do supply your own coffee, tea, sugar, toiletries enc. , but as a courtesy some are provided. People sometimes make the mistake to evaluate a place on cleanliness on how the place was left when they departed and not how they had received the place. Being the case a 1 would be appropriate, but do note that your received it as a 5. Since a small once off cleaning fee are added for cleaning when people depart I do not judge people if they do leave the place as a 1, but being oldschool I always leave a place as I had received it. Hotelservices are unfortunately not provided, but again it was never included in the price. I know you expected a place walking distance from the beach since you and your friends did not have or planned on any transport, but that was not what Serendipity selfcatering ever claimed to be. It would be best for any future holiday planning to search for a location that suits your expectations before booking and be disappointed. Despatch is a small to medium size town situated between Uitenhage and Port Elizabeth with about 25min drive to the nearest beach. It is perfect for family visiting, traveling business people staying in a safe and quiet area and even people willing to drive to the beaches and any other tourist destinations like many overseas guests that I had accomodated in the past. People traveling for weddings, funerals, birthdays and functions had find the place a lovely stay with a great value for money.

Ek sal beslis weer daar bly!

Die eienaar van Serendipity Selfsorg het ons baie vriendelik ontvang, al het ons baie laat daar aangekom. Daar is nie onderdak-parkering nie, maar ons voertuig was veilig. Met die prys, kan 'n mens sommer vir lank daar bly en alles wat jy nodig het, is daar binne. Selfs vinnige WiFi, my toets het dit as oor die 50mbps opgetel.

I would definitely stay there again!

The owner of Serendipity Self Care received us very kindly, even though we arrived very late. There is no undercover parking, but our vehicle was safe. With the price, one can stay there for a long time and everything you need is inside. Even fast WiFi, my test picked it up as over 50mbps.

Dis rustig en als was net gerieflik.

Loop afstand na 'n kafee en geen bekommernis oor ons veiligheid nie. Ons kinders het gehou van die wifi.

Was soos 'n eregas behandel.

Uitstekend. Julle is tops, veral my gasheer Etiene. Wat nog verder my dag gemaak het, is dat altyd iemand met my geskakel het (10/10) en verneem het of alles nog reg is. Dit is wat ek diens noem.

Was treated like an honored guest.

Outstanding. You are tops, especially my host Etiene. What made my day even more is that someone always contacted me (10/10) and found out if everything was still okay. That's what I call service.

Dit was 'n huis-weg-van-die-huis gevoel.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die plekkie is gerieflik en bevat alles wat 'n mens van 'n huishouding kan verwag. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en was van begin tot einde heel op ons gemak.

Eenmanwoonstel gevoel.

Solank jy nie 5 ster verwag nie sal jy tevrede wees met die plekkie. Waterdruk was effens sleg met tye en load shedding was maar juis dit. Maak seker jy laai 'n skedule af voor jy gaan.

One-man apartment feel.

As long as you don't expect 5 star you will be satisfied with the place. Water pressure was a little bad at times and load shedding was just that. Make sure you download a schedule before you go.

Gerieflike plekkie vir 'n paar nagte se oorslaap.

Ons het slaapplek gesoek in Despatch vir 'n paar nagte en Serendipity het goed gewerk vir ons. Daar was genoeg slaapplek en alles wat 'n mens nodig het vir 'n nag of wat se verblyf.
