Dit was heel rustig en lekker gewees met 'n see view, met 'n uitsig van die see.

Jou veiligheid is vir seker, die eienaar is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Die ligging met 'n uitsig van die see, is heel aanvaarbaar.

Was andersins baie lekker.

Daar is 'n voorwaarde aan my aanbeveling. Vind uit of die hond genoegsame plek sal hê om te kan speel/bietjie rondhardloop. I was there with my GSD and space I had to confine it to was minutely small with no grass to wee on.

Was otherwise very nice.

There is a condition to my recommendation. Find out if the dog will have enough space to play/run around a bit. I was there with my GSD and space I had to confine it to was minutely small with no grass to wee on.

We advertise for small pets, not big dogs as per the German Shepherd that was brought. We have an open field (green belt) adjoining our property where one can walk their pets. Thank you.

Baie lekker, cosy en gemaklike plekkie. Lekker ruim en gesellig.

Ek vind met van die plekke dat die gasvrou/-heer nie hulle fone byderhand hou wanneer die gaste daar aankom nie en dis 'n groot frustrasie. Mens sit buite die hek en bel en bel, maar hulle antwoord nie. Dis ook nie veilig om so rond te hang buite in die straat nie. Julle moet dit asseblief 'n streng punt maak en stres dat die gasheer/-vrou hulle fone hê waar hulle kan antwoord. Enige iets kan fout gaan en dan het jy die gasheer dringend nodig. Ook toe ek uitklok kon ek haar weereens nie raakbel nie. Ek kan mos nie net uitry en die sleutel oor die heining gooi nie! Dit was hier die geval en ook by my vorige verblyf verlede September.

Translate to English.

Very nice, cozy and comfortable place. Nice and spacious and cozy.

I find with some places that the hostess does not have their phones handy when the guests arrive and that is a big frustration. One sits outside the gate and calls and calls, but they do not answer. It's also not safe to hang around like that outside in the street. Please make it a strict point and stress that the host/wife have their phones where they can answer. Anything can go wrong and then you need the host urgently. Also when I checked out I couldn't contact her again. I can't just drive out and throw the key over the fence! This was the case here and also at my previous stay last September.

Rustig met mooi see-uitsig.

Die eienaar, Johan, het ons hartlik ontvang en ‘n netjiese oorsig gegee oor St Helena Baai. Die beskutte braaiplek het getuig van ‘n man wat kennis dra van die heersende winde. Geen beter plek as Storm Petrel as jy buite met ‘n uitsig oor die see wil vleisbraai nie!

Peaceful with a beautiful ocean view.

The owner, Johan, warmly welcomed us and gave a neat overview of St Helena Bay. The sheltered braai has witnessed a man who knows the prevailing winds. No better place than Storm Petrel if you want to braai outside with a view of the sea!

Vriendelike gasheer, hulpvaardig toe lugversorger ophou werk.

Die advertensie en foto's is uiters misleidend. Op 2 verskillende websites wys foto's drie slaapkamers. Daar is net twee slaapkamers en die ander "kamer" is banke wat uittrek. Uiters ongemaklik aangesien die banke in die voordeur se area is. Geen privaatheid vir die persoon wat daar geslaap het nie. Ek stel voor die foto's word hersien en verwyder die misleidende 3de slaapkamer.

Friendly host, helpful when air conditioner stopped working.

The advertisement and pictures are very misleading. On 2 different websites, pictures show three bedrooms. There are only two bedrooms and the other "room" is couches that pull out. Extremely uncomfortable as the couches are in the front door area. No privacy for the person who sleeps there. I suggest the photos be reviewed and remove the misleading 3rd bedroom.

Rustige atmosfeer.

Aanvanklik was ek teleurgesteld, die foto's op webtuiste is die van die ander woonstel wat die eienaars ook adverteer, maar na ek afgekoel en bedaar het omdat dit nie was wat ek in gedagte gehad het nie, het ek die rustigheid ervaar van die kothuis. Dis 'n plek om weg te kom van die besige stadslewe en om rustig met jou gesin te verkeer, vleisie te braai, blokkiesraaisel invul en net gesels. Die see-uitsig is prentjiemooi van die hawe en beslis plek wat ek sal aanbeveel.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Calm atmosphere.

At first I was disappointed, the photos on the website are of the other apartment that the owners also advertise, but after I cooled down and calmed down because it was not what I had in mind, I experienced the tranquility of the cottage. It's a place to get away from the busy city life and to spend time with your family, barbecue meat, fill in crossword puzzles and just chat. The sea view is picture perfect from the harbor and definitely a place I would recommend.

Storm Petrel sal een van my permanente vakansie plekke word.

Johan is 'n uitstekende gasheer. Vroeg die oggend toe ons moet inboek het hy my al gebel en gevra hoe laat hy ons kan verwag. Die woonstel is netjies en goed gemeubileer. Dit is nou 'n regte familie, kuier woonstel. Die braaiplek is op die stoep gelee en kyk uit oor die see en hawe. Die hele opset is pragtig uiteengesit en privaat. St Helena Baai is 'n rustige vakansie dorpie en ons het elke oomblik van ons verblyf geniet. Storm Petrel sal ons nog baie sien.

St Helena Bay is a peaceful holiday village and we enjoyed every moment of our stay. Storm Petrel we will see a lot more.
