Very pleasant and quiet.

My host was very friendly and went out of her way to make my stay comfortable. She also assisted me by taking me to and collecting me from the medical facility and doing some shopping for me at Woolies.

Great!

Amazing! Beautiful, clean and friendly. They have dogs that are very friendly and like to come and say hello. You have to walk through the front door of their house but would never even say people live there because it's so quiet and you never see or hear anyone. Very private in your unit. Lovely place and amazing value for money, would stay there anytime again.

Heerlike verblyf in besige Knysna.

Michelle is 'n ware gasvrye gasvrou. Ons het heerlik gebly. Enigste negatiewe punt vir my persoonlik is dat ek 'n ligte slaper is en dat die straatlig voor die huis die kamer verlig, maar die stort was bv. een van die beste storte wat ons beleef het.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Great stay in busy Knysna.

Michelle is a truly hospitable hostess. We had a wonderful stay. Only negative point for me personally is that I am a light sleeper and that the street light in front of the house lights up the room, but the shower was e.g. one of the best showers we have experienced.

Bekostigbaar.

Baie netjies en gerieflik. 'n Mikrogolfoond sou lekker gewees het om vinnig iets warm te maak. Bietjie gesukkel met warm water die laaste oggend. Michelle was nie tuis, skoonmaker het ons ontvang. Chris eers die oggend daarna ontmoet. Maar andersins, baie lekker gekuier.

Very neat and comfortable. A microwave oven would have been nice to heat something up quickly. A little trouble with hot water the last morning. Michelle was not at home, cleaner received us. Didn't meet Chris until the morning after. But otherwise, very nice visit.

Shell's Corner Cottage 's response

Hello Zelda,

Thank you for your review of our property. I am glad to read that you found the space neat and comfortable. We have now made a microwave oven available in the unit.

Grace, our helper was available on your day of arrival as I was away helping our daughter move house. As much as I always like to be available to meet and assist our guests, I made a point of communicating with you that I would be away, and throughout your stay, we were communicating via WhatsApp.

Regarding the hot water on your last day, I once again apologise for the short delay when we had to switch over the gas bottles.

All in all, thank you again for your review. We do hope to be able to welcome you back soon!

Warm Regards

Comfortable modern accommodation.

We had to park our car in the street. We were provided with a 2-plate stove/oven which was in poor condition. Little provision was made for load-shedding. The hostess met with us and gave us some ideas of places to visit.

Shell's Corner Cottage 's response

Dear Peter,

Thank you for your review of our property. We always enjoy hearing back from our guests.

As I'm sure you experienced, our facility is located in a very safe and secure neighbourhood. 80% of our neighbours park either on the street or in open driveways. Your vehicle was perfectly safe parked directly in front of your unit where it was in full view at all times.

Also, I did explain to you that we have armed response linked security beams which protect our property during the night hours. You were also given a panic button which links to the armed response in case of an emergency. I can assure you that your security was never compromised.

You were provided with a two-plate stove/oven/grill which had one "foot" missing (which, according to your wife, "ruined everything"). You were also provided with an electric frying pan, microwave oven and Webber Braai.

My husband and I are ordinary people who endeavour to provide the best possible facility. Most of the time we meet or exceed the expectations of our guests. We are disappointed that you did not find our facility to your liking.

2de Kamer/Vertrek is geskik vir 'n oornagplek, nie vir 'n persoon wat langer as een nag wil oorslaap nie.

Bed in 2de vertrek is nie geskik vir langtermynoorslaap nie. Stort wat in bad is, is moeilik bereikbaar vir ouer persone/gestremdes of gaste met rugprobleme. Bad is hoog, stel voor dat daar 'n trappie gesit word.

Ons as gesin van vier, het baie lekker gebly! Shell's Corner is netjies, lekker knus en veilig.

Die verblyf was soos ons tweede huis. Ons kinders (1 en amper 3) kon vrylik beweeg en speel, ons kon ontspan langs die vuurtjie. Die omgewing is baie stil en veilig. Perfek vir 'n gesinswegbreek!

We, as a family of four, had a great time! Shell's Corner is neat, cozy and safe.

The accommodation was like our second home. Our children (1 and almost 3) could move and play freely, we could relax by the fire. The environment is very quiet and safe. Perfect for a family getaway!

Ons was in Knysna vir die Knysna Marathon.

Die ligging was perfek. Ons was so goed ontvang en het dadelik welkom gevoel. Moet noem dat die koningbed was uit hierdie wereld uit. Sal vir seker weer hierdie akkommodasie gebruik. Bygevoeg het oorspronklik vir twee aande bespreek, maar moes ongelukkig een aand kanselleer. Het in dieselfde week gekanselleer en daar was absoluut geen huiwering van eienaar nie.

Dit wat ons wel ervaar het, was egter mooi en goed. Ontvangs was vriendelik en alles was skoon, netjies en voldoende. Die gasvrou het selfs hulle motorhuis aangebied vir parkeerplek aangesien ons motor gelaai was met duursame toerusting. Baie dankie daarvoor.

Very clean and tidy house, friendly host and overall nice stay.

Very clean house, the only thing that bothered us was how the shower was built. It makes the entire bathroom floor wet and is not very practical. Also, unfortunately, did not have warm water on our first night there. The host was very friendly. Overall good stay.

Shell's Corner Cottage 's response

Thank you for your review of our space. We always enjoy feedback from our guests.

I am sorry to read that you found the bathroom impractical. We have designed it as such to allow for our physically disabled guests, who generally require more open and free space. Had you informed me that there was excess water in the bathroom, I would have been more than happy as your host to clean it up for you.

During the week of your stay, we had been experiencing many hours of load-shedding each day. It stands to reason then that without electricity we would experience a lack of basic services. The warm water, or lack thereof, was beyond our control but was rectified as early as possible the next morning.

In addressing your 3-stars relating to security. Our facility is situated in a very safe and secure neighbourhood. The accommodation itself has bars on the windows as well as a lockable trellidoor on the sliding door. We also have armed-response linked security beams which are switched on at night for added security. We are very aware that guests are security conscious and thus have taken the measures above.

Once again, we thank you for booking with us and for leaving your review.

Kind Regards,

Shell's Corner Cottage Knysna

Shell's Corner Cottage 's response

Thanks for your review. We noted your security concern. Our listing does state that parking is on-street. Had you mentioned that you were not comfortable with this, we certainly would have made our lock-up garage available for your use during your stay (as we have done for prior guests). I am sure you gathered that our suburb is extremely safe and many of our neighbours also park on the street. Furthermore, the armed-response linked security beams are turned on at night for added security. Our dogs are kept indoors at night too and are very quick to alert us of any issues.

It was a pleasure meeting you and hope that we can look forward to welcoming you back soon!
