Behalwe van die bure wat so lawaai het, was dit 'n heerlike wegbreek naweek.

Baie lekker gekuier. Sal weer daar bespreek.

Not what I thought it would be.

It was okay, I was not pleased to know I paid so much for the little we got. I have stayed in much nicer places for less money. And only one bathroom for 7 people is really ridiculous. The TV didn't even work.

Most beautiful view of the Estuary in St Lucia.

Just a big thank you from all of us from CJM Ministries. We had the time of our lives. Llynell and Debbie, thank you so much for the extra effort you have put in to wait for us when we just could not arrive on time, as well as finding out all about Cape Vidal. One thing about Stokkiesdraai it has the most beautiful view of the Estuary and absolutely breathtaking beautiful sunsets and even some wild life occasionally. The big, beautiful and clean pool was a great way to end the day when having a barbeque, accommodating our big group. We had a lovely time and we will be back.

Ons het net een nag oorgeslaap.

Daarvoor was Stokkiesdraai goed met vriendelike diens. Dis 'n gerieflike plek, baie goed geleë met tipiese "strandhuis-meubels". Die kinders het oor die TV gekla. Dit is nog 'n ouer tipe sonder DSTV en geen WiFi nie. Beide is deesdae eintlik 'n vereiste. Ek sou ook dink dat muskietwering noodsaaklik is. Die plek is nie vergelykbaar met wat ons by gehad het nie en teen 'n hoër tarief nie.

We only stayed one night.

Before that, Stokkiesdraai was good with friendly service. It's a comfortable place, very well located with typical "beach house furniture". The children complained about the TV. This is another older type with no DSTV and no WiFi. Both are actually a requirement these days. I would also think that mosquito netting is essential. The place is not comparable to what we had at and at a higher rate.

I wouldn't recommend the place.

First the lady we found there was very rude to us on our arrival. There was no reason for her to shout at us for checking in after the office has closed. We didn't plan to arrive late but it happened what was we supposed to do? Sleep at the reception door?. the place has no security that's a huge risk. the apartment we were booked in the taps were making noise, the same lady that shouted on us she'll come running upstairs that we must close the taps, I quote: "can't you hear the tap is making the damn noise - switch it off", how we were supposed to bath then ? That lady has no respect/manner to other people, she treated us as if she made us a favour by giving us a place to sleep. the rooms has dusty & smelling. linens looks very old & dirty. the whole house had big coakcroaches roaming around. very disappointed.

Worst experience ever!

I would not recommend this accommodation to anyone and would advise you to look elsewhere for a more pleasant experience. The unit is in a terrible condition with extremely old furniture and very old appliances (which are hardly working). There is also no water during the very long loadshedding times. The host is one of the rudest persons I have met, and I hope that I never have to come across her again. She was constantly yelling at us like a barbaric person, and this for merely sitting in the bedroom talking. Overall, we regret our decision to book at Stokkiesdraai, and just like many of the other reviews want to express our disappointment in the worst accommodation experience ever.

Stokkiesdraai 's response

It is strange that this client complain about the so called yelling at them.
Our cut off time is at 22.30 at night. At 01:30 , I received calls from the neighbors about their noise and especially their vulgar language that was use.
I spoke to them . 23:30 about the noise and language used.
I also had a visit from a security officer , who came to complain , about the noise interfering with everyone's sleep.
As for the water , they were never here during the loadshedding period. We then use a generator , to provide the customers with water.
I had to approach this group on 2 occasions , very late at night about the noise and the vulgar language , that was used. It was a relief , when they finally booked out.
They were the only clients on the premises.
Morning of departure , I noticed that most of their cars were gone. I approached the only guy I saw from the group and inquired , whether they are booking out . The booked out shortly after that , just before the loadshedding started. , so there was no reason for me , to start the generator for water.

Baie netjies en skoon, plek kort bietjie renovasie, algeheel aangenaam, sekuriteitshek by ingang sal kliënte gemakliker laat voel. Feit dat my motorfiets, sleepwa en voertuig toeganklik was vir inbraak het my bietjie onrustig gemaak, die eenheid was baie mooi skoon en netjies, maar kort so bietjie renovasie. "Keeping Covid Tourism in mind" is dit seker heeltemal verstaanbaar.

The fact that my motorcycle, trailer and vehicle were accessible to burglars made me a little uneasy, the unit was very nice clean and tidy, but in need of some renovation. "Keeping Covid Tourism in mind" is probably completely understandable.

Die verblyf was nie na wense nie.

Wanneer daar loadshedding is, is daar ook geen water nie, om 10 mense in 'n huis te wees met geen water nie is nie aangenaam nie, ons het met bestuur daaroor gesels en was net gesê jammer daar is nie geld vir generators nie. Die ontvangsdame was ook baie ongeskik en misluk, kan glad nie met haar gesels nie. Die nette op die vensters is alles geskeur op plekke. Die geraas van die straat maak dit moeilik om te slaap en daar is geen sekuriteit vir motors nie, nie eers 'n boom met 'n hek nie. Dit is ook onaangenaam warm wanneer die krag af is, daar is ook nie baie geriewe in die kombuis nie en die ketel laat die krag trip.

The stay was not as desired.

When there is loadshedding, there is also no water, being 10 people in a house with no water is not pleasant, we talked to management about it and were only told sorry there is no money for generators. The receptionist was also very incompetent and failed, can't chat with her at all. The nets on the windows are all torn in places. The noise from the street makes it hard to sleep and there is no security for cars, not even a tree with a gate. It is also uncomfortably hot when the power is off, there are also not many amenities in the kitchen and the boiler causes the power to trip.

Baie vuil, onhigiëniese plek, swak kliëntediens.

Ons verblyf was baie vuil, kakkerlakke lê orals dood of hardloop rond, eetgerei en koffiebekers was vuil ongewas toe uit kaste haal, niks water as loadshedding is nie. Het ook baie fotos geneem van hoe dit lyk. Daar is gesê dat dit nie so vuil is dat ons sal siektes kry nie. Baie swak kliëntediens, hulle sal ons nooit weer sien nie en sal dit ook vir niemand aanbeveel nie. Daar is gesê hulle sal breekdeposito in bank betaal, maar ook nog niks ontvang nie.

Very poor customer service, they will never see us again nor will they recommend to anyone. Was told they would pay break deposit in bank but still haven't received anything either.

Although the lady at reception was very kind and professional, we were without water for a day or two.

Very dangerous to use the stove, the plate between the top and oven is rusted through. We tried to use the oven one morning but then realised it was a bad idea. A bit disappointing regarding the water and stove, I suppose they could not do much about the water, but the stove?

Hou baie van St Lucia, so het die vakansie geniet.

Die matrasse is baie ongemaklik, die bad/stort mors op die vloer omdat daar nie glas voor is. Die kombuisware soos glasbakke, ens. baie beperk. Skoonmaakpersoneel was vriendelik en behulpsaam. Daar is nie 'n afdak bo-oor die braai nie en kan dus nie buite sit as dit reën.
