Robbie,
Thank you so much for the lovely positive review that you gave Strandlopertjies Cottage and the area of the Breede Mouth. It is heartwarming for us when we see that others also appreciate this part of the Cape for the paradise that it is. As nature lovers we like to share the beauty and charm of this piece of God's creation. May this review inspire travellers to come and explore this area for themselves. You are most welcome to visit again.
Regards.
Stella and Kobus

Kon ontspan en net rustig wees,.

Could relax and just be calm,.
The owners received us and were very hospitable. The accommodation is very clean and well laid out to accommodate 6 people. You are walking distance from the river and the beach is 3 km away if you walk. You can drive a little way back on the dirt road and get the best Pizza. There are also other eateries and bars in the area. We will definitely visit there again after a very lovely weekend.

Wonderfully peaceful.
Best for short period 4 - 5 days, as long as everyone knows that you have to take all provisions with you, it's no problem.

Was a very nice and peaceful holiday.
Will definitely go again. Kids really enjoyed it with no TV, which means more family time. Couldn't get used to the salt water showers, but I understand why. The owners were very friendly and we felt very much at home.

3 nights at Strandlopertjies Cottage at Infanta. Against the Breede River. Beautiful beach and ideal for fishing and beach activities. Peaceful and quiet out of season.

Good afternoon Luzanne
We always love to share our beautiful place with other guests, therefor we feel really sad to hear that you were not able to appreciate the beauty of this paradise. Fortunately, this seldom happens. We do appreciate positive critisism because it gives us the opportunity to improve the standard of our cottage and to work towards perfecting it. In this case, though, I would like to comment on your negative remarks.
Firstly, if there are any differences in reality from the existing photos on the website, it is because the interior ot the cottage was upgraded and improved just two weeks before you arrived. In fact, you were the second group of guests experiencing our new improved, upgraded interior. I was quite excited about the improvements and thought guests would love it, which has also been the case with the guests visiting after you. This is what was done: New, more comfortable furniture and scatter cushions, a nguni skin on the floor, brand new stove, new taps in the kitchen, a new cupboard in the main bedroom and new soft white curtains in the main bedroom, hanging almost from the ceiling. The kitchen cupboards were painted new and also the walls around the stove. Thus my total amazement reading your negative review. Another change since the photos on the website were taken, is that a wooden fence was erected and more bougainvillaes were planted between the house and the cottage to give more privacy. As in the whole of Infanta where the houses are next to each other, the house and the cottage is also next to each other. The main house is never rented out, so the only people using it is me and my husband and our son. As my son gets only 3 weeks holiday per year, it is mostly me and my husband. We cherish the peace and quiet of the place, so guests in the cottage will not be disturbed at all. Maybe another change in reality from the website photos , is that it was a very high spring tide and the water was nearer to the cottage on the photos than you experienced it in reality.
No TV is being advertised on the website on Travelground . If there appears a TV on a photo on the website, I will ask that it is being removed immediately. It is also said in the information being sent beforehand to guests that there is no TV. If that is very important to guests and they just assumed that there will be a TV, they still can cancel their booking and get their full deposit back. Usually, our guests are so busy enjoying and appreciating the outside - fly fishing, fishing, sailing, kite surfing, walking, bird watching, swimming, picking up pansies during low tide, braaiing etc that they are not at all interested in, or having the time for watching TV. We also recommend that guests rather enjoy the outside than to stay indoors in front of the TV.
The cleanliness: I am dependent on cleaning services in the area. I live in Cape Town.That is why I always call the guests to hear what the condition of the cottage was on arrival. If a guest assures me that everything was clean as was the case here, I assume that there was no problem. If not so, I immediately contact the cleaning services to solve any problems in that regard. Thus I would have appreciated any negative comments directly to me.
In the area there are no municipal services therefor guests are already warned in the information sent to them beforehand that garbage bags should be removed themselves to a dump about 2 km from there. Also that they should bring own garbage bags with (it is a self-catering unit). I will now add this information to my website on Travelground so that guests are fully informed long before they make a booking.
The plug in the sink: In our information, we ask guests to contact us immediately if they experience any problems. This was not done in this case , otherwise it would have taken only a phone call to sign up the handyman to come and fix the problem. We have fixed the problem in the mean time.
Most of our guests are regular guests who come again and again. For first time visitors, I especially want to invite people who are nature lovers and who are able to appreciate the beauty, peace and unspoilt God-given nature of this piece of heaven. Then you will never be disappointed.

Strandlopertjies Cottage 's response
Ek is baie bly julle het dit ook rustig en stil gevind. Soos gesê in die inligting op ons website, is dit 'n uur se grondpad na die mond van die Breerivier aan die Infanta kant van die rivier. Sekerlik 'n rede hoekom die plek nog veilig, ongerep en weg van die gewone rumoer is. Die grondpad is nie altyd in dieselfde toestand nie. Soms na 'n vakansie is die pad gewoonlik uitgery en grof en ander kere wanneer die pad net geskraap is, is dit in 'n baie goeie toestand. Hoe sleg dit ook al reeds was, dit was en is nog altyd begaanbaar vir 'n gewone motor en nie noodsaaklik vir 'n 4X4 nie. 'n Grondpad moet maar altyd stadig gery word vir veiligheid.

Unbelievably enjoyed.
If you're looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the right place to find peace and quiet. You have the beauty of the river and the sea together. We had a great time relaxing. There is no shop nearby and therefore you have to plan carefully what you take with you.

It can be an unforgettable vacation spot.
There was no water and we were informed about it after we checked in. No one came to sort out the problem. We couldn't even wash our hands or flush a toilet. I think it should also be mentioned in the accommodation details that you have to bring your own bedding. Although it is a cute little place in the right location with a nice view and right next to the river.
