Goed gebly met teleurstelling van swembad.

Het lekker gebly, maar al teleurstelling was die swembad wat nie beskikbaar was weens verbeteringe. Kies altyd 'n akkommodasie met swembadgeriewe.

Good stay with disappointment of pool.

Had a nice stay but only disappointment was the pool which was not available due to improvements. Always choose an accommodation with swimming pool facilities.

It was a great stay under all the circumstances, including the food.

The family room was great except for the shower handle, which needed attention from the maintenance team. The dinner and breakfast were excellent. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I did hear that there was going to be an auction the next day, so understandably, there would be a drop in the services rendered by the personnel. I do hope that all went well and that the hotel can now be at its best.

Value for money but some checks required on functional equipment and warm bedding.

I sent up my team of five who were doing a week-long project at the accommodation. It was value for money for a chalet and nice and close to the site. My team reported back that each bed only had one blanket and no spares on site. Given it was winter, they were very cold. The two-plate cooker was so slow to heat that they struggled to cook food on it.

Honest marketing - if your pool doesn't work, tell prospective guests.

No operational swimming pool in peak season. Not safe enough to walk to the beach. The bar fridge in the room was so small it only accommodated three cooldrinks and ice. Unable to adjust the fridge temperature to make it colder, therefore the ice was melting in the fridge. Always missing something at meals, e.g. curry without papadum. WiFi signal so weak struggled to receive calls. No solar panels or generator, so at times of load shedding everything went off - no lights, no TV, no air con, no WiFi. Would suggest purchase of a generator for load shedding, a bar fridge in each room whose temperature can be adjusted to make it colder, an operational swimming pool, consistency in the quality of meals, full DSTV package including sport, trays for room service, clean linen and towels for guests staying longer than three days, and bigger cereal bowls.

Heerlik, gasvry en vriendelik.

Ons "booking" het gewys "seafront", maar ons het agterkamers gekry. Nog steeds netjies, maar aangesien daar nie baie gaste was nie, kan ek nie verstaan hoekom ons nie voor plek kon kry nie. Die Personeel was egter almal vriendelik en gasvry. Hulle het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons welkom te laat voel, selfs vir ons spesiaal die TV oorgeskakel na ons regstreekse Skole Rugby wedstryd. "Luigi" (weet nie sy regte naam nie), was uitsonderlik! Dan moet ek ook die dame uitsonder van die Spa, wat spesiaal 16:30 uitgekom het om ons tiener se heel eerste back/neck and shoulder massage te laat ervaar.

Lovely, hospitable and friendly.

Our "booking" showed "seafront", but we got back rooms. Still neat, but since there weren't many guests, I can't understand why we couldn't get a front seat. However, the Staff were all friendly and hospitable. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome, even specially switching the TV on for us to our live Schools Rugby match. "Luigi" (don't know his real name), was exceptional! Then I also have to single out the lady from the Spa, who came out specially at 16:30 to let our teenager experience her very first back/neck and shoulder massage.

Needs to be refurbished.

The self-catering unit 2, desperately needs some tlc. The beds were comfortable. No soap to wash one's hands in the bathroom. No ice trays in the freezer. The TV does not work and the braai stand did not have a grid to braai on. The owner needs to take pride in his establishment. I won't go back there.

I will go again, if services improve.

The accommodation was good, but the reception pathetic. Can certainly improve on reception. We stood waiting for 15 minutes before anyone even showed up to help. The paperwork also very messed up. I had to help look for our reservation. Didn't even know there was Wi-fi. Also when the power went out there were no candles or lights available.

Baie teleurgesteld, familievakansie word opgebreek.

Ons is so teleurgesteld in ons verblyf. Toe ons daar aangekom het is ons vriendelik ontvang. Toe ons die kamer oopsluit was ons oorweldig deur 'n verskriklike vrot reuk, asof iets dood is. En wragtig kry ons 'n dooie muis. Hy moes al 'n paar dae lank dood gewees het van die reuk. Ek dring toe aan op 'n ander kamer, want geen mens kan in daardie kamer asemhaal nie, wat nog van die gesondheidsrisiko. Al wat toe aan ons beskikbaar is, is 2 kamers in die binnehof. Oorkant mekaar. En so moes ons besluit hoe ons uitmekaar gesplit sou wees: die 2 ouers in een kamer, en die kinders alleen in die oorkantste kamer, of 1 ouer in elke kamer met 1 of 2 seuns. Dis nie hoe mens 'n vakansiewegbreek beplan het nie. Ek is baie dankbaar vir Ben wat ons so mooi gehelp het, en dinge ligter gemaak het, asook die tannie in die kroeg. Hulle is die beste. Net jammer ons as familie was opgebreek.

Very disappointed, family holiday is broken up.

We are so disappointed in our stay. When we arrived there we were kindly received. When we unlocked the room we were overwhelmed by a terrible rotten smell, as if something had died. And indeed we get a dead mouse. He must have been dead for several days from the smell. I then insist on another room because no human being can breathe in that room, what with the health risk. All that is available to us then are 2 rooms in the courtyard. Opposite each other. And so we had to decide how we would be split apart: the 2 parents in one room, and the children alone in the opposite room, or 1 parent in each room with 1 or 2 boys. That's not how one planned a holiday break. I am very grateful to Ben who helped us so nicely, and made things lighter, as well as the aunt in the bar. They are the best. Just a pity we as a family were broken up.

It's not the fanciest or smartest hotel I've stayed in but it was clean and comfortable, and the warmth and attentiveness of the service were six star.

Our room was spacious and adequately furnished, with a liberal supply of electrical sockets, a very comfortable bed, and a private balcony area from which we spotted seals, a whale, and numerous seabirds with our sundowners and our morning coffee. The action all seemed to be in the bar, which meant we had the dining room pretty much to ourselves. Dinner was tasty and reasonably priced, and served with the friendly personal touch we came to associate with this hotel. A very pleasant one-night stay. No complaints at all.

Booked a chalet - not rooms - can only comment on chalet - we a bit disappointed in the overall set but the beds and bedding were very good - plumbing and lights need upgrading.

We will go again - staff friendly, helpful. Hotel building reasonable, clean, neat, nice bar and pool tables, swimming pool on deck a bonus in the heat. For a weekend break and if not too fussy it will work. Overall I would say 7 out of 10. Location not perfect but a nice sea view.

It's a beautiful hotel, but needs a touch up. The service was brilliant. Receptionist such a humble person who does her work with so much grace. We were happy and satisfied.

Wonderlik. Sal volgende keer langer bly

Die see- en swembad-uitsig was asemrowend. Ons sal beslis weer gaan as die geleentheid daar is. Dit was die lekkerste kuiertjie ooit. 5 sterretjies vir St Helena Bay Hotel.

I loved the whole experience.

I initially booked at St.Helena Bay hotel for a non sea facing room however I did not feel happy with the whole setup. I asked for a sea facing room and the receptionist who was very friendly and helpful changed my room to a seafacing room. I loved it the moment I walked into the room. The view from the room was breathtaking. I loved the scenery the ambiance. I will definitely book again.

Nie goeie kliëntediens nie. Plek verniel en agteruit.

Akkommodasie waar ons gebly het verniel en agteruit - nie baie netjies nie. Stort raas met oopmaak. Lyk nie baie veilige ligging nie. Geen night desk nie - niemand by ontvangs en sekuriteit het geslaap toe een van ons 'n navraag het. Het my iPhone oorfone vergeet, niemand het per e-pos nog teruggekom nie (alhoewel 'n konsultant van die webtuiste die instansie direk g-e-pos het). Baie lawaaierig in die aand en motors kom in en uit. Nie seker of instansie reëls het vir gaste wat nie oorslaap nie. Nie op die strand nie en lyk nie veilig om strand toe te loop nie. Sal glad nie hierdie instansie voorstel nie. My man se elektriese tandeborselhouer is gebreek en nie gerapporteer aan ons nie, na skoonmaakpersoneel kom skoonmaak het.

Not good customer service. Place vandalized and backward.

Accommodation where we stayed run down and run down - not very tidy. Shower noise when opening. Doesn't seem like a very safe location. No night desk - no one at reception and security was asleep when one of us had a query. Forgot my iPhone earphones, no one has emailed back yet (although a website consultant emailed the establishment directly). Very noisy in the evening and cars come and go. Not sure if establishment has rules for non-overnight guests. Not on the beach and doesn't seem safe to walk to the beach. Would not recommend this establishment at all. My husband's electric toothbrush holder was broken and not reported to us, after cleaning staff came to clean it.

Pateties!

Ontvangslokaal baie onprofessioneel. Chalet se badkamerlig werk nie. Word herstel terwyl ons daar is. WiFi werk nie. DStv het geen ontvangs na ons tergkeer later op dag een. Die personeel kan dit nie herstel nie en die DStv-agent antwoord nie sy foon nie. Ons moet oppak en skuif na 'n ander chalet. Een beker en 1 klein koppie vir koffie/tee. Net 2 100 ml-drinkglase en en 1 wynglas. Geen braaitange of toebehore. Ons het oor die jare verskeie plekke bespreek. Ons was nog altyd tevrede. Die advertensiefoto's is totaal misleidend. Ek sal nie eens halfprys hiervoor betaal nie. Uiters teleurstellend en 'n mors van geld!

Reception very unprofessional. Chalet's bathroom light does not work. Get fixed while we're at it. Wi-Fi doesn't work. DStv had no reception after we returned later on day one. The staff cannot repair it and the DStv agent does not answer his phone. We have to pack up and move to another chalet. One mug and 1 small cup for coffee/tea. Just 2 100 ml drinking glasses and and 1 wine glass. No tongs or accessories. We have booked several places over the years. We have always been satisfied. The advertising photos are totally misleading. I won't even pay half price for this. Extremely disappointing and a waste of money!

Daar is lekker braaigeriewe, 'n swembad, 'n kroeg, pool-tafels en jou voertuig is veilig op die perseel.

Onverwagse "honeymoon".

Plek kort hier en daar bietjie opknapping, maar ons het baie lekker geslaap veral toe hulle ons opgradeer na die 'Bridal Suite'. Kos is heerlik en baie bekostigbaar, ons is self verstom hoe min ons rekening was na die heerlike aandete. Vir 'n oornag of naweek breek, sal ons dit aanbeveel. Personeel baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Unexpected "honeymoon".

Place needs some renovation here and there, but we slept very well especially when they upgraded us to the 'Bridal Suite'. Food is delicious and very affordable, we ourselves are amazed at how little our bill was after the delicious dinner. For an overnight or weekend break, we would recommend it. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Teleurstellend.

Sondag ingeklok, met aankoms hoor ons dat die restaurant toe is, geen kos beskikbaar, geen kamerdiens, ons het juis ingeklok oor daar geadverteer word restaurant, in die kamer is daar nie M-net nie, ontvangs en instandhouding is onseker oor wat aangaan want daar moet M-net wees. Ontbyt was 'n nagmerrie, dit sê beskikbaar vanaf 7 uur en teen 7:20 moes ons vra waar is die koffie, melk, broodrooster en kos. Darem het ons 'n pizza van die vorige aand oor gehad wat ons moes ry en gaan koop het en kon ons dit vir ontbyt eet. Geen vrugte. Swak diens.

Disappointing.

Checked in on Sunday, upon arrival we hear that the restaurant is closed, no food available, no room service, we checked in precisely because a restaurant is advertised, in the room there is no M-net, reception and maintenance are unsure of what is going on because there must be M-net. Breakfast was a nightmare, it says available from 7am and by 7.20am we had to ask where is the coffee, milk, toaster and food. At least we had a pizza left over from the night before that we had to drive and go buy and we could eat it for breakfast. No fruit. Poor service.

Dit was loshande die onaangenaamste verblyf wat ek nog ooit beleef het.

By ons aankoms was daar geen persoon by ontvangs gewees nie. Nadat ek vier verskillende personeellede gevra het om asb. die ontvangsdame te roep, moes ek nog steeds 20 minute wag terwyl my vriende in die kar moes wag. Nadat die ontvangsdame uiteindelik opgedaag het was sy uiters ongeskik en het geen verskoning aangebied nie. Inteendeel haar opmerking was dat sy net daar werk en nie die eienaar is nie. Ek het gevra om met die bestuurder te praat, waarna sy my ingelig het dat die bestuurder nie daar was nie, en ook niemand in haar plek nie. Op pad na ons "chalet" moes ons verby 'n oop riool mangat loop wat met 'n stuk staalplaat en 'n baksteen bedek was. Die stank was ondraaglik. Die beddegoed in die kamer was vuil en was beslis nie vervang voor ons aankoms nie. Die plaveisel voor die kamer was oorgroei met onkruid en gras, en die stoepie was smerig vuil. Die enigste sitplek op die stoepie was 'n stokou bankie waarop jare se alg en swamme al groei. Nodeloos om te sê dat ons die ontbyt (wat ingesluit was by ons verblyf) eerder oorgeslaan het.

It was the most unpleasant stay I have ever experienced.

At our arrival there was no person at reception. After asking four different staff members please. calling the receptionist, I still had to wait 20 minutes while my friends had to wait in the car. After the receptionist finally arrived, she was extremely rude and offered no excuse. On the contrary, her remark was that she was working there and not the owner. I asked to speak to the manager, after which she informed me that the manager was not there and no one in her place. On our way to our chalet we had to walk past an open sewer manhole covered with a piece of steel plate and a brick. The stench was unbearable. The bedding in the room was dirty and was definitely not replaced before our arrival. The pavement in front of the room was overgrown with weeds and grass, and the porch was filthy dirty. The only seat on the patio was an old bench on which years of algae and fungi are growing. Needless to say we rather skipped the breakfast (which was included in our stay).

The hotel was very clean.

We spent the night in room 7. Room very big and clean but did not have a sea view which we asked for. We were looking at the caravan park and that night there was a party under our window so we couldn't sleep. I would also put an extractor fan in the bathroom, for the mist and smells. The balcony as well as the swimming area had no chairs or tables.

Die hotel vertoon beter as wat dit werklik is.

Ons was eers in 'n buitekamer ingeboek wat gestink het, die TV het nie ontvangs gehad nie, die stort was vuil en die vloer was taai. Dit was ook baie lawaaierig. Nadat ons die probleme onder hulle aandag gebring het, het ons geskuif na 'n kamer binne in die hotel wat gerieflik en netjies was. Ons het van ons inkopies in die kas vergeet en niemand het ons gekontak i.v.m. dit nie. Die restaurant se kos is fantasties maar die diens is baie stadig.

Teleurstellend omdat alles "moeg" voorgekom het.

Dit was regtig teleurstellend. Net 2 wynglase - wat nie dieselfde lyk nie en waarvan 1 gekraak was. Die messelaai het bestaan uit 2 messe - een met houthef en ander silver. 5 poedinglepels, 1 vurk en 3 teelepels. Geen broodmes of skerp mes nie. Matjies was vol kolle. Dit het nie versorg en "vars" voorgekom nie, maar moeg. Dit het nie regtig gelyk of hul moeite gedoen het nie. Alles het oud en "moeg" voorgekom. Die hotelbestuurder was egter baie vriendelik en ons genooi vir 'n gratis ontbyt wat heerlik was.

Ek het 6 maande terug oorgeneem, en is besig om alle chalets op te gradeer, ongelukkig het ek nog nie by die chalet uitgekom waar u gewoon het nie, ek wil u nooi om vir 1 aand gratis weer by ons te kom oorbly, maak sodat u kan sien dat daar wel n verbetering aangebring is.
Wens u n wonderlike week toe.

It was horrible!

To start we had to check in late because the room was not "clean", then when we checked into the room it was dirty and didn't look like there was any effort made to clean it! The sheets looked like it was not changed, we went to have alone time but we had someone knock at our door selling fish or something. We did not feel safe and the 1st night I was not comfortable sleeping there. U would think it's a hotel, it should live up 2 curtain standards but it doesn't!

Ons het lekker gebly. Sal dit aanbeveel indien dit opgradeer word.

Die interieur is oud en kort net bietjie aandag. Hulle kan die ou gordyne afhaal, blindings opsit, die badkamer bietjie opkikker met nuwe "grout" en die toiletsitplek vervang want dit is oud. Die stort is ook verwaarloos. Die plekkie kort verf en 'n varser en nuwer "look". Ek dink selfs julle kan R200 meer vra, indien dit net "TLC" kry. Die beddegoed is skoon, maar ook maar oud en deurgewas.

We had a nice stay. Would recommend if upgraded.

The interior is old and just needs some attention. They can take down the old curtains, put up blinds, spruce up the bathroom a bit with new "grout" and replace the toilet seat because it's old. The shower is also neglected. The place needs paint and a fresher and newer "look". I think even you can ask R200 more, if it only gets "TLC". The bedding is clean, but also old and washed.

Was pleasant, but not quite as expected.

We liked the place but were slightly disappointed with the dirty environment especially outside the buildings. These units are definitely in need of renovation compared to other similar places we've visited for around the same money. The presentation during booking was also slightly misleading. It looks like things are happening there and we'll keep an eye on it. Thank you!

Het in backpackers gebly en het net die basiese verwag. Die kamers was baie basies selfs sonder 'n asblik of bedliggie. Stort het gereeld die kamer oorstroom. Geen nagwag of iemand om sleutels te oorhandig as jy laat inkom nie. Kamer stink soos rook. Ontbyt was goed en baie billik geprys.

Acceptable.

Stayed in a backpackers and expected just the basics. The rooms were very basic, even without a bin or bed lamp. The shower in the room regularly flooded. No night guard or someone to hand over the keys if you arrive late. The room stinks of smoke. Breakfast was good and reasonably priced.

Ou, verwaarloosde huisie.

Laaie gebreek. Bedkassies gebreek. Toiletwater loop aanmekaar. Verwaarloos en afgeleef.

St Helena Bay Hotel 's response

Hi, Gerard,
Ons is tans besig om die chalets op te gradeer. Dit sal so oor twee weke klaar wees. Die hotel is nou klaar opgegradeer.
Ons spandeer nou tyd aan die vier-slaper chalets asook die twee-slaper.
Dankie vir jou insetsel.
Groete
Monica

I don't think the place should be used at present as there are large scale additions etc.

Currently it is very unprofessional and backward.

Hulle sien ons nie weer.

Die eenhede vir R720 per aand was regtig nie geskik nie met spinnekoppe langs die yskas en vuil messe en vurke. Die plek het nie goed geruik nie en die yskas was nie aangesit. Bouwerk is tans besig, maar die rommel word gelos voor die chalet waar ons sou bly en braai. Nadat ons gekla het, het hulle ons wel 'n ander eenheid aangebied wat baie meer kos per nag, waarvoor ons nie betaal het nie. Hierdie plek was pragtig en skoon.

They don't see us again.

The units for R720 per night were really not suitable with spiders next to the fridge and dirty knives and forks. The place didn't smell good and the fridge wasn't on. Construction is currently underway, but the rubbish is left in front of the chalet where we would stay and have a barbecue. After we complained, they did offer us another unit that cost much more per night, which we did not pay for. This place was beautiful and clean.

Onaanvaarbaar.

Die wooneenhede van die rugsakreisigers is absoluut onaanvaarbaar. Die kamer het nie eens 'n spieël nie. Baie beslis nie goed vir persone wat aan beter gewoond is nie.

Unacceptable.

The housing units of the backpackers are absolutely unacceptable. The room doesn't even have a mirror. Very definitely not good for persons used to better.

Lekker bederf!

Kamer en beddegoed skoon en netjies. Ontbyt was smaaklik en goed voorberei. Personeel het regtig uit hul pad gegaan om dit gerieflik te maak. Gaan beslis terug nadat die bouwerk klaar is. Sal wel wil vra dat daar iets is vir die jonger kinders, bv. 'n speelpark veral vir die 1 tot 4 jaar kinders.

Nice treat!

Room and bedding clean and tidy. Breakfast was tasty and well prepared. Staff really went out of their way to make it comfortable. Definitely go back after the build is done. Would like to ask that there is something for the younger children, e.g. a play park especially for the 1 to 4 year old children.

Binne die eenheid was dit mooi skoon.

Buite was die gras verdor en die plante in die blombakke was dood. Voor ons eenheid was 2 groot honde in 'n kamp toegemaak en hulle het gedurig geblaf en ons moes in hulle mis vaskyk. Die vensters buite was vol voëlmis. Ons broodrooster was van die begin af stukkend, maar dis nooit vervang nie.

Inside the unit it was pretty clean.

Outside the grass was withered and the plants in the flower pots were dead. In front of our unit, 2 large dogs were closed in a camp and they were constantly barking and we had to stare into their manure. The windows outside were full of bird droppings. Our toaster was broken from the start, but it was never replaced.

Die hotel het ons nie verwag nie.

Hulle het ook nooit enige vorm van identifikasie gevra nie en glad nie geweet dat ons eers daar bespreek het nie. Die badkamer se lig het nie gewerk nie, en die toilet het 'n straal water gespuit op die vloer. Die wasbak het gelek en daar was net een kragpunt agter die bed vir die ketel. Verder het ons lekker geslaap want ons was pootuit gery!

The hotel did not expect us.

They also never asked for any form of identification and had no idea that we even booked there. The bathroom light didn't work, and the toilet sprayed a jet of water onto the floor. The sink was leaking and there was only one power point behind the bed for the kettle. Furthermore, we slept well because we were exhausted!
