Stunning place, amazing for a peaceful getaway.

The host was warm and welcoming and made us feel right at home. They also checked in with us to ask if we had all we needed and to let them know if we required anything else to give them a shout. The apartment was modern and cosy and equipped with all the amenities you would need, and the view from the balcony overlooking the river was stunning. Had an absolutely amazing stay and would recommend to anyone looking for a romantic or quiet getaway.

Gasvry en pragtige ligging.

Richard en Chantel het ons hartlik verwelkom en was uiters gasvry. Die verblyf was goed toegerus en skoon, met 'n rustige atmosfeer. Ons het 'n aangename tyd gehad en sal beslis weer kom bly. Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike ervaring.

What a lovely relaxing weekend! The apartment has a beautiful nautical style with a serene view. They really went the extra mile to make us most comfortable. Anyone looking for a breakaway from civilization should book Shanty's Rest.

Rustig, sielsverkwikkend.

Heerlik gebly, baie netjies en aandag aan detail. Pragtige uitsig geniet. 'n Versteekte juweel, sal beslis weer terugkom! Ons gashere is warm, tegemoetkomende mense en het ons van die intrapslag laat tuis voel.

Shanty's Rest is 'n pragtige woonstel met alles wat jy benodig. Die ligging is perfek. Die eienaars was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons sal enige tyd weer daar tuis gaan.

Kan die plek 100% aanbeveel.

Ons was aangenaam verras met die superskoon, modern en vars blyplekkie! Die vriendelike eienaars het uit hul pad gegaan vir ons! Skoon handdoeke elke dag en daar is 'n omskakelaar, so my man kon sy rugbywedstryd kyk. Heerlik gebly.

Without a doubt, it was one of our best weekends away.

We found everything to our expectations and couldn't have asked for more. Owner of the property was always available and showed genuine interest. Definitely a place I would stay over again, should I travel down the West Coast again.

Netjies, modern, skoon.

Sjoe, ek kan regtig Shanty's Rest aanbeveel. Als is daar, skoon beddegoed, uitsig op die water. Lekker geleë in 'n doodloop straat teen die rivier. Jy sien sommer al die seilbote en bote wat inkom en uitgaan. Ek gee Santy's Rest 'n 5 ster. Sal definitief van hul weer gebruik maak.

Wow, I can really recommend Shanty's Rest. Als is there, clean bedding, view of the water. Nicely located in a dead-end street by the river. You just see all the sailboats and boats coming in and going out. I give Santy's Rest a 5 star. Will definitely use them again.

Ons kom al jare in Port Owen en het al by verskeie plekke gehuur, maar hierdie was die eerste keer wat ons werklik gevoel het dat dit waarde vir geld is.

Richard en Chantel (die eienaars) gaan werklik uit hul pad uit om jou welkom te laat voel. Ons het werklik so lekker gebly en ons is so dankbaar dat hierdie 2 mense op ons pad gekom het. Ons sal hulle vir enige iemand aanbeveel. Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike vakansie by Shantys!

We have been coming to Port Owen for years and have rented from several places, but this was the first time we really felt it was value for money.

Richard and Chantel (the owners) really go out of their way to make you feel welcome. We really had such a nice stay and we are so grateful that these 2 people came our way. We would recommend them to anyone. Thank you very much for a wonderful holiday at Shantys!
