Fantastic stay, would definitely recommend this to anyone!

We had a wonderful two-day break. The staff were very helpful and assisted us in finding a parking spot. It was very busy. The location was great, just a 5-minute stroll to Kalk Bay shops and restaurants.

Pity about the smell in the bathroom.

Our stay was lovely, except for the bathroom that smelled like cat wee. We told the manager about this but were informed that they were fully booked and could not move us to another room. What was disappointing is that they did not offer to do anything about the smell in the bathroom. We went out and bought incense to burn to get rid of the smell.

Ons besoek aan Sonnekus was fantasties. Ons sal dit verseker aanbeveel.

Ons besoek aan Sonnekus was fantasties. 'n Ware 'hidden-gem'. Die personeel is vriendelik en verskriklik behulpsaam. Die hotel het baie karakter en die ligging is baie goed. Die enigste negatiewe ervaring was dat ons nie kamer gekry het wat ons bespreek het nie. Ons sal vir Sonnekus definitief aanbeveel.

Great hotel, poor customer service.

Lovely hotel, however, lacking proper customer service and we were given different rooms than what we booked. They then said it was an 'upgrade', however, the rate paid for Room 2 is higher than the rate quoted for Room 3. Also, there was a 'Ring Camera' in the room for calling for ice or drinks, but having any camera in the room is a complete invasion of privacy.

Goed.

Ons het goed gebly, maar die kamer was baie raserig siende dat dit langs die hoofweg was. So slaap was maar min.

Well.

We had a good stay but the room was very noisy considering it was next to the main road. So sleep was scarce.

Nie perfek nie.

Eerstens nie die kamer wat ek aanvanklik bespreek het en bevestig is (see-uitsig) gekry nie. Tweedens 'n halwe bottel rooiwyn aangebied die Vrydag toe ek rooiwyn wou bestel. Derdens was die koffiefiltermasjien gebreek. Vierdens was waterbottels nie vervang nie. Het half weggedruk in 'n kamer gevoel. Kan deur die stort se vensters sien, so het my nie gemaklik laat voel nie. Staf was egter baie vriendelik.

Not perfect.

First of all did not get the room I initially booked and confirmed (sea view). Second, offered half a bottle of red wine on the Friday when I wanted to order red wine. Third, the coffee filter machine was broken. Fourth, water bottles were not replaced. Felt half pushed away in a room. Can see through the shower windows so didn't make me feel comfortable. Staff were very friendly though.
