Conveniently close to restaurants, very good location and view.
View is amazing! And it was easy to get in after we got there quite late. Helped a lot that we could walk to a restaurant. Music was distracting and lights outside, but the block out curtains helped. We were concerned about the safety of our vehicle. Sofa bed is uncomfortable to sit on.

Convenient.
For those of us who use DStv and not Netflix, the system wasn't easy to use. Even after an explanation by the owner we still couldn't get it to work. It seems as if certain upgrades need to be done on their side.

Thank you for the feedback about DStv. Sadly their App is not very user friendly. Next time I will gladly come help you get your DStv subscription working on the Android TV box, just drop me a line when you arrive.
Thank you for staying with us.

Dear Candice, thank you for the excellent feedback. We do not have pictures of a braai as we don't have any yet. Thanks to your suggestion, we are addressing the need. We have purchased 4 Weber Q1000 gas braais for our 10 apartments which guests can then book in advance on a first come basis. Guests can also bring their own Weber gas cartridge. Mauros's Restaurant is 20 meters from Ships Bell and is open on a Sunday night. Quayside Pub and Grill in Chokkablock complex 50 meters away is also open on Sunday evenings but they do tend to close early if there are not many customers. Please remember to book a Weber braai on your next visit.
Kindest regards,
Craig & Hanlie

Stay was good. They will have to do something about the late noise from the pub downstairs. It was terrible.
Ships Bell Apartments 's response
Dear Wilma,
We heard from Eben that the night in question was not a poor example of the normal Port area experince. Sorry. We are addressing the situation with the pub that was playing loud music with their doors open and also allowing their patrons out in the public space un-checked.
Sorry for the disturbance. We will do more to try get the partying during the festive season to be less intrusive.
Regards, Craig en Hanlie

Beautiful view with great noise.
The endless doof-doof of the bar below and a few meters on. The apartment is above a restaurant/bar and meters from another big noisy pub. The party doesn't stop until early morning and the owner's children entertain them on skateboards under your apartment from opening to closing time (almost like those old black scooters of old that drive you crazy when the kids have no end). When one of the residents addressed the children, the owner and the became involved in an argument. There was also a scuffle later in the evening between two drunk customers with appropriate language for the time of the evening. Contacted owner and he requested video to take it up with the governing body. Our neighbors were also in one of his apartments and were furious and regretful. They were looking for alternative accommodation.

Dear Eben,
Thank you for the valuable feedback.
We apologise again for the noise from the public also visiting the Port over the festive season. The Christmas & New Year vibrant period in St Francis attracts thousands of people to St Francis Bay and the Port for the festive season. The location is world class at a fraction of the price so we will make every effort to try control the public without infringing on their rights to sing loudly and out of tune.
We would love to have you back again, at half the price of course, on a normal weekend so you can relax and enjoy the view of the Port without being overly disturbed.
Craig en Hanlie

Nice vacation in a harbor.
Place very well equipped (the sliding door just kept getting stuck and falling out until we oiled it) and comfortable. Very good location with a beautiful view of the harbor and yachts. It can get a little noisy (which is to be expected from a working port). Good restaurants in the area.
