Absolute waarde vir geld. Netjies, baie goed toegerus - perfekte wegbreek.

St James Cottage is 'n pragtige kothuis wat baie goed toegerus is. Die gasvrou en gasheer het ons heerlik bederf met 'n vars brood, melk, beskuit en 'n verskeidenheid koffie en tee. Oorkant die pad is die toegang tot die St James strand en 'n klein restaurantjie met heerlike kos. Kalkbaai is 15 minute se stap met die oulikste winkeltjies. Ons sal vir seker weer sien!

Absolute value for money. Neat, very well equipped - perfect getaway.

St James Cottage is a beautiful cottage that is very well equipped. The hostess and host spoiled us deliciously with fresh bread, milk, biscuits and a variety of coffee and tea. Across the road is the access to St James beach and a small restaurant with delicious food. Kalkbaai is a 15 minute walk with the cutest little shops. We will see again for sure!

Gasvrye eienaars, oulike historiese cottage, naby alles.

Ons het 'n wonderlike paar dae by St James Cottage gehad, gasheer en gasvrou is amazing. Het reggestaan vir enige iets of enige vrae wat ons sou hê. Net hul gasvryheid alleen sal maak dat ons definitief teruggaan. Verder is die klein historiese cottage baie oulik, baie klein tuin, maar skoon en well-equipped so naby die see, getypoel en winkels, dat 'n mens nie eers 'n tuin mis nie. Ons het heerlik gebly. Dankie Shamus en Carol, ons sal jul weer sien!

Hospitable owners, cute historic cottage, close to everything.

We had a wonderful few days at St James Cottage, host and hostess are amazing. Was standing by for anything or any questions we would have. Just their hospitality alone will make us definitely go back. Furthermore, the small historic cottage is very cute, very small garden, but clean and well-equipped so close to the sea, tidal pool and shops, that one does not even miss a garden. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you Shamus and Carol, we will see you again!

Carol en Seamus het ons verblyf baie spesiaal gemaak.

Ek sal St. James Cottage met 'n oop gemoed aanbeveel. Die cottage is perfek geleë - die verkeer voor die huis verby is wel baie besig, maar die tuintjie is mooi afgeskort, so dit pla nie regtig nie en binne-in die huisie is die verkeer minder hoorbaar. Reg oorkant is 'n lekker restaurant, 'n stasiewinkeltjie, die stasie en natuurlik die see! Die getypoel is net 'n vinnige stappie oor die pad en treinspoor (onderdeur 'n kort duikweg) en langsaan twee ander lekker swemstrande. Maar die beste van die cottage is die eienaars, Carol en Seamus wat uit hul pad gegaan het om ons verblyf rustig, aangenaam en gerieflik te maak. Braaihout, 'n koue bottel wyn, vars brood van die bakkery om die draai, konfyt, botter en allerhande ekstras het op ons gewag toe ons daar aankom na 'n lang pad van Bloemfontein.

Carol and Seamus made our stay very special.

I will St. James Cottage recommended with an open mind. The cottage is perfectly located - the traffic in front of the house is very busy, but the little garden is nicely partitioned off, so it doesn't really bother you and the traffic inside the cottage is less audible. Directly opposite is a nice restaurant, a small station shop, the station and of course the sea! The tidal pool is just a quick walk across the road and railway track (under a short underpass) and next to two other nice swimming beaches. But the best thing about the cottage is the owners, Carol and Seamus who went out of their way to make our stay peaceful, pleasant and comfortable. Braai wood, a cold bottle of wine, fresh bread from the bakery around the corner, jam, butter and all kinds of extras were waiting for us when we arrived there after a long drive from Bloemfontein.

Baie dankie Mary Ann. It was such a pleasure hosting you and your lovely family. I hope that you can come back and enjoy another stay with us. When it is not peak season it is much quieter.

Have a wonderful year

Wonderful hosts and gorgeous cottage.

As soon as we walked in we knew this was just perfect. Unfussy, neat, uncluttered and comfy, the hosts had provided everything needed for our family, washing machine...everything. It was winter and we used the lovely gas heater. Would not stay anywhere else.

Gerieflike, outydse verblyf en die eienaars is baie gasvry en het ons baie spesiaal laat voel.

Die kothuis is goed toegerus met DStv en WiFi. Goeie linne en die kombuis is baie goed toegerus. Die eienaars het absoluut gesorg vir vele ekstras soos melk en botter en vrugte en sap en beskuit en tot honde beskuitjies, net 'n keur van koffie en tee. Uiters gasvrye eienaars.

Comfortable, old-fashioned accommodation and the owners are very hospitable and made us feel very special.

The cottage is well equipped with DStv and WiFi. Good linen and the kitchen is very well equipped. The owners have absolutely provided many extras such as milk and butter and fruit and juice and biscuits and even dog biscuits, just a selection of coffee and tea. Extremely hospitable owners.

Baie dankie Chenelle,

Dit was ons plesier om 'n paralympian as 'n gas to he. Ons sien uit om vir u weer in Maart te sien.
