Netjiese, skoon selfsorgeenheid naby die see.

Baie veilig en stapafstand van die see. Die verblyf het alles wat nodig is om 'n paar dae lekker te kuier!

A wonderful little cottage.

I had a marvelous time. As a young woman travelling alone I felt completely safe and comfortable. The location is perfect if you're looking for a quiet and peaceful area that is still close to everything. All the little extras - rusks, milk in the fridge, a chocolate on the pillow and even some hot water so I could make coffee during loadshedding - was greatly appreciated and made me feel very welcome. I had a perfect stay here.

Thank you so much for that kind review. We do try hard to keep the cottage as nice as we can and give the "little extras" without adding to the rate per night. So pleased that you enjoyed your stay here and hope to see you again sometime.

Werklik 'n oulike plekkie.

Enigste nadeel is gebrek aan DStv wat nie meer as 'n luuksheid beskou moet word nie. Veral as mens na die maandelikse omset kyk, dan is die koste verbonde aan 'n DStv-verlenging na die eenheid nie baie nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Really a cute place.

Only disadvantage was lack of DStv which should not be viewed as a luxury anymore. Especially when looking at hte monthly turn-over, the cost for a DStv extension to the unit is not that much.

This review has been translated.
View original in Afrikaans.

Snails' End Cottage 's response

Hello Fred,
In order to put DStv in our cottage we would have to increase the rate - DStv is not cheap, and we try to keep our rates as affordable as possible. No-one else has ever commented on the lack of it, so I am really sorry if this spoilt your stay in any way!

Stil, rustige en skoon plek.

Ek en my vriendin het Oktober 2015 by Snails"s End Cottage gebly. Dit was net die heerlikste verblyf. Als was baie skoon en netjies... daar was bottel water op elke bedkassie met sneesdoekies en sjokolade op elke kussing,die badkamer het handeseep en handeroom gehad. Koffie, tee en beskuit in die kombuis. Ons het baie welkom gevoel en gemaklik na ons lang trippie van Pretoria af. Die eienaars was baie vriendelik en gasvry. Ons sal dit beslis oor en oor aanbeveel. Dankie weereens Penny vir lekker verblyf.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Snails's End Cottage in October 2015. It was just the most wonderful stay. Als was very clean and tidy... there was a bottle of water on each bedside table with tissues and chocolate on each pillow, the bathroom had hand soap and had hand cream. Coffee, tea and biscuits in the kitchen. We felt very welcome and comfortable after our long trip from Pretoria. The owners were very friendly and hospitable. We will definitely recommend it again and again. Thanks again Penny for a nice stay.

Pragtige plekkie met alles wat jy nodig het! Baie skoon en netjies! Stil straat en omgewing. Loopafstand van die see en 5 min se ry van Hermanus.

Ek sal Snail's End enige tyd vir mense aanbeveel wat wil wegkom van die gewoel van die stad en net rustig wil gaan ontspan. Dis 'n pragtige plekkie, privaat, skoon, netjies en met alles wat jy nodig het! Boonop is dit geleë in 'n stil straat, loopafstand van die see! As jy winkels toe wil gaan, is Hermanus net 5 minute weg. Ek en my Tannie was vir 'n naweek daar en was werklik verras deur alles wat die plekkie bed - jy kry selfs koffie, tee, beskuit, melk in die yskas, sjokolade op jou kussing, 'n pakkie sneesdoekies op elke bedkassie, asook 'n botteltjie water met 'n glas. Die beddegoed en handdoeke is mooi skoon en alles is in die plekkie is in ' n goeie werkende toestand! Beslis goeie waarde vir geld! Baie dankie Penny en Wim vir die heerlike naweek wat ons daar gebly het! Ons kom beslis weer terug!

Beautiful place with everything you need! Very clean and tidy! Quiet street and neighborhood. Walking distance from the sea and 5 minutes' drive from Hermanus.

I would recommend Snail's End anytime to people who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and just go and relax. It's a beautiful place, private, clean, tidy and with everything you need! Moreover, it is located in a quiet street, walking distance from the sea! If you want to go to the shops, Hermanus is only 5 minutes away. My Aunt and I were there for a weekend and were really surprised by everything that the place offers - you even get coffee, tea, biscuits, milk in the fridge, chocolate on your pillow, a pack of tissues on each bedside table, as well as ' a bottle of water with a glass. The bedding and towels are nice and clean and everything in the place is in good working order! Definitely good value for money! Many thanks to Penny and Wim for the lovely weekend we spent there! We will definitely come back again!

Netjiese skoon verblyf met vriendelike en sorgsame eienaars. Heerlik oornag!

Ons was beindruk met die netheid van die eenheid. Die eienaars doen spesiale moeite, met klein detail, soos 'n klein verrassing op elke kussing, water en sneesdoekies op die bedkassies, melk in die yskas en beskuit by die koffie/tee. Verwarmers reeds aangeskakel en nuwe vars en genoeg handdoeke. Die eenheid is werklik goed toegerus en mens sal heerlik kan oornag en selfs vir 'n langer tyd kan bly, dis net straat-op van die see in 'n rustige en stil omgewing. Hiernatoe kom ons beslis weer.

We were impressed with the cleanliness of the unit. The owners make a special effort, with small details, such as a small surprise on each pillow, water and tissues on the bedside tables, milk in the fridge and biscuits with the coffee/tea. Heaters already switched on and new fresh and enough towels. The unit is really well equipped and you will be able to spend the night and even stay for a longer time, it's just up the street from the sea in a peaceful and quiet environment. We will definitely come back to this.

Wonderlike ontspanning - perfek vir 'n wegbreek van die Kaap se gewoel en geraas.

Sal weer terugkeer na Snail's End Cottage. Dis rustig en veilig, perfek vir ontspanning en wegbreek, loopafstand van die strand af. Die plekkie is behoorlik met alle basiese benodigdhede toegerus. Jy hoef absoluut niks saam te neem behalwe kos nie. Sal graag volgende keer langer as twee dae wil bly on die interessante boeke in die "Toilet Biblioteek" te kan lees. 'n Kaggeltjie in die kothuis sal die perfekte "final touch" wees vir wintermaande en dalk 'n aparte braai area waar jy nie die eienaars kan pla nie. Dankie Penny en Wim, julle plekkie is waarlik iets besonders.

Wonderful relaxation - perfect for a break from the Cape's hustle and bustle.

Will return to Snail's End Cottage again. It's quiet and safe, perfect for relaxation and getaways, walking distance from the beach. The place is properly equipped with all basic necessities. You don't need to take anything with you except food. Would like to stay longer than two days next time to be able to read the interesting books in the "Toilet Library". A fireplace in the cottage would be the perfect "final touch" for winter months and perhaps a separate braai area where you can't bother the owners. Thank you Penny and Wim, your place is truly something special.
