It was a pleasure to host Barry and his family. They left The Starfish View spotless. It would be awesome to host them again in the future.

We could not have asked for a better place to spend our family holiday.

Our family had an amazing stay at Starfish. Jacques was very helpful and welcoming. The house was spacious, spotless and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect with beautiful sea views and we enjoyed the extensive collection of board games and the indoor braai and cozy fireplace. We will definitely be returning to Starfish.

Starfish View 's response

Rehana and her family were terrific guests. They took great care of the house and left it very clean. They were very respectful and communicated well with me throughout. I would be delighted to have them back and will gladly refer them to any host.

Heerlike kuierhuis in 'n natuurreservaat met 'n pragtige uitsig oor die see!

Wat 'n pragtige huis met 'n uitmuntende uitsig! Ons het van die more tot die aand gekuier op die hout deck voor die huis. Of jy nou binne braai of jy nou buite braai, lekker kuier gaan jy lekker kuier. Die strand is so naby aan die huis en die daaglikse staproetes langs die see het ons vreeslik geniet. Die stilte en natuurskoon was net wat ons almal nodig gehad het. Dankie vir 'n fantastiese kuier. Ons sal baie graag weer terug wil kom!

Lovely holiday home in a nature reserve with a beautiful view of the sea!

What a beautiful house with an outstanding view! We hung out from morning until night on the wooden deck in front of the house. Whether you barbecue inside or you barbecue outside, have a good time, you will have a good time. The beach is so close to the house and we really enjoyed the daily walks along the sea. The silence and scenery was just what we all needed. Thanks for a fantastic visit. We would love to come back again!

Lovely stay and host was always available if there were any questions.

Absolutely stunning setting, lovely views of the sea, the patio is very protected for outside braais. Also inside braai if needed and lots of sitting areas. The house is equipped with everything that you need and the host is always available for a quick call. Only 20 minutes from Melkbos and 20 minutes to Yzerfontein, so a quick drive to major shops.

Thank you, Anna, for your kind words.
I'm sorry that we never met personally. Thank you for being an ideal guest.

Was awesome. Alles maar alles was 100%.

Dit was 'n vakansie vir die boeke. Kinders het op hulle eie fiets gery en na die klippie strand gegaan om skilpies op te tel. Al die bure is so vriendelik. Die huis is toegerus met elke liewe ding wat jy moontlik kan nodig kry.

Was awesome. Everything but everything was 100%.

It was a holiday for the books. Children rode their own bikes and went to the pebble beach to pick up seashells. All the neighbors are so friendly. The house is equipped with every sweet thing you could possibly need.

Ons wou 'n rustige wegbreek hê en dit is presies wat Starfish View ons laat beleef het.

Die rustigheid van die omgewing, die see-uitsig en die pragtige huis wat volledig toegerus is, het ons baie beïndruk. Sharon is 'n vriendelike en hulpvaardige gasvrou.

Rustige kuier ver van die gewoel.

Ons het heerlik gebly. Die huis is besonder goed toegerus met alles wat nodig is om lekker te kuier. Die leefarea is baie ruim, met genoeg sitplek en met 'n 8 tot 10 sitplek eetkamertafel. Die buite-area met 'n houtdek bied die ideale spasie om te kuier terwyl jy die see kan sien en hoor. Die uitsig is ongelooflik mooi. Binne- en buitebraai is beskikbaar. Die kamers is gerieflik. Waarlik 'n plek om te ontspan. Baie skoon en netjies.

Quiet visit away from the hustle and bustle.

We had a wonderful stay. The house is particularly well equipped with everything you need to have a good time. The living area is very spacious, with enough seating and an 8 to 10 seater dining table. The outdoor area with a wooden deck offers the ideal space to hang out while you can see and hear the sea. The view is incredibly beautiful. Indoor and outdoor grilling is available. The rooms are comfortable. Truly a place to relax. Very clean and tidy.

Lovely home in a beautiful destination. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Thank you to Sharon and her lovely Starfish View home for making our stay enjoyable - it was a great, relaxing and wonderful getaway weekend with special friends to escape city life for a bit. The house is lovely and was neat, clean and welcoming with everything we needed. Sharon kept us up to date with Eskom issues totally beyond the area's control due to an unusual CT storm and we appreciated the open communication. Thank you for being such a pleasant host. We had a wonderful time and could have stayed longer.

Uitstekende verblyf by Starfish View.

Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring en uitstekende verblyf. Die details en ekstras wat voorsien is tydens ons verblyf was baie meer as wat verwag is. Sharon is 'n uitstekende gasvrou en het ons hartlik ontvang. Ek sal Starfish View aanbeveel vir enige persoon wat verblyf soek in die Grottobaai-omgewing.
