Perfect for a weekend away.

Really enjoyed our 2-night stay. The host was very friendly, and communication for check-in and check-out was really good. Great location, the place was neat and clean, value for money, and I really felt safe as well.

Veilige, skoon en ruim verblyf in Durbanville.

Veilige, skoon en ruim verblyf. Met die aankoms was ons onmiddellik gewys waar alles is. Baie vriendelike ontvangs. Ons het onmiddellik tuis gevoel na 'n byna reis. Verblyf was maklik om te kry. Skoon en netjies. Genoegsame beddegoed vir koue wintersaande. Woonstel is baie ruim. Meer as genoeg spasie vir 4 mense. Ekstra gaste-toilet was handig. Veilige parkering op die erf. Baie dankie.

Safe, clean and spacious accommodation in Durbanville.

Safe, clean and spacious accommodation. Upon arrival we were immediately shown where everything was. Very friendly reception. We immediately felt at home after a long journey. Accommodation was easy to find. Clean and tidy. Sufficient bedding for cold winter nights. Apartment is very spacious. More than enough space for 4 people. Extra guest toilet was handy. Secure parking on the property. Thank you very much.

Nie ten volle tevrede.

Gasvrou Marriete is vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Die plek was egter nie netjies nie. Handemerke teen die mure. Die trappe wat lei na die cottage is vuil, vensters is vuil. Die ekstra vadoek was vuil. Daar kort baie instandhouding. Die spieel in die kamer is nie naby 'n kragpunt nie. Ons het egter die feit geniet dat daar 'n aircon was.

Not fully satisfied.

Hostess Marriete is friendly and very helpful. However, the place was not neat. Handprints on the walls. The stairs leading to the cottage are dirty, windows are dirty. The extra dishcloth was dirty. There is a lot of maintenance needed. The mirror in the room is not near a power point. However, we enjoyed the fact that there was an aircon.

Shambala Cottage 's response

Goeie dag, Celeste
Baie dankie vir jou waardevolle terugvoering. Ons is jammer om te hoor dat jy ‘n negatiewe ervaring by ons verblyf gehad het. Soos gesien kan word in ons vorige resensies, is dit glad nie die norm by ons nie. Ek glo dat ons kan saamstem dat alle versoeke spoedig en effektief gehanteer en opgelos was deur ons. Ons waardeer jou insette opreg. Hoop om julle weer te sien.

Baie lekker gebly. Die woonstel is ruim met alles wat mens nodig het. Baie netjies en veilig en 'n heerlike kalm en rustige omgewing. Mariëtte, die gasvrou, het ons sommer baie tuis laat voel. Ek beveel die plekkie enige tyd aan.

Perfect family stop over!

Verblyf was 10 uit 10. Mariette het ons vriendelik verwelkom en ons sommer daarlik tuis laat voel. Kothuis was baie ruim, skoon en alles was daar wat ons nodig gehad het, en meer! Baie veilige en stil area! Ons sal definitief weer hier kom bly as ons Durbanville toe kom. Dit is ook baie goed geleë, naby alle winkels en hospitale ens.
