Tranquility and relaxing.

Lovely stay, close to the beach. Explored the cave and walked around. Straw House was clean and tidy.

Wonderlik, wonderlik, wonderlik!

Dit is een van die mooiste spasies wat ek al die voorreg gehad het om te geniet saam met my vriende. Die huis is werklik ontwerp met Elandsbaai se winderige weer in gedagte, en die uitleg is perfek vir mense wat kwaliteit tyd wil saam spandeer.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

This is one of the most beautiful spaces I have ever had the privilege of enjoying with my friends. The house was truly designed with Elands Bay's windy weather in mind, and the layout is perfect for people who want to spend quality time together.

Thanks for an enjoyable time.

My younger son is a surfer and he walked with his surfboard to the beach. The property is fenced so our dog also came up for the weekend. Good accommodation and fully equipped kitchen. The outside hot tub was an added bonus.

Salig, rustig en 'n genotvolle kuier.

Het baie lekker gebly. Straw House is perfek vir vriende en familie om saam te kom. Die huis is ruim en het alles wat 'n mens nodig het. Die see is 5 minute se stap en die warmbad is 'n groot bonus.

Ultimate relaxation & fun with friends.

We loved the hot tub and all the games for a rainy day. The space is beautifully laid out and spacious, the kitchen is so equipped we even made jaffels on the fire. Literally the shortest walk to the most beautiful quiet beach where we had brunches and flew kites. Amazing, restful and playful getaway!

Unexpected laid-back intimate style in Elandsbay.

Unique courtyard living with all the necessities. A clever architectural response to the site makes for a lovely, peaceful stay. Well-equipped kitchen and very comfy lounge. Bedrooms nice and cozy too.

Fantasties!

Straw House is die lekkerste verblyf wat ek al bespreek het. Die huis is uiters gerieflik, die kombuis/onthaalarea met ingeboude vuurherd/braaiplek en is apart van die slaapkamers en die twee badkamers is baie nuttig. Daar is 'n mobiele braai in die binnehof en net om die draai 'n heerlike vuurgedrewe warmbad, sorg net dat julle genoeg hout saamneem! Die enigste negatief vir my was die treine wat nogal steurend was, maar mens raak daaraan gewoond. Die huis is binne stapafstand van die strand en die plaaslike winkel. Ons kom beslis weer kuier.

Fantastic!

Straw House is the nicest accommodation I have ever booked. The house is extremely comfortable, the kitchen/reception area with built-in hearth/barbecue and is separate from the bedrooms and the two bathrooms are very useful. There is a mobile braai in the courtyard and just around the corner a delicious fire-powered hot tub, just make sure you take enough wood with you! The only negative for me was the trains which were quite disturbing, but you get used to it. The house is within walking distance of the beach and the local shop. We will definitely visit again.

Lekke gekuier. Ons sal weer kom!

Ons het werklik heerlik in Straw House gekuier. Ek sou graag self so 'n huis wil besit; die uitleg en oop ruimte is perfek en gee 'n lekker atmosfeer. Die muskietnette was 'n lewensredder want die muskiete is nogal bloeddorstig. Al wat gekort het was 'n mikrogolf oond. Die "buite"-badkamer was vir almal baie lekker en spesiaal.

Have a nice time. We will come again!

We really had a great time in Straw House. I would like to own such a house myself; the layout and open space is perfect and gives a nice atmosphere. The mosquito nets were a lifesaver because the mosquitoes are quite bloodthirsty. All that was missing was a microwave oven. The "outside" bathroom was very nice and special for everyone.

Perfect spot in Elands.

The Straw House is absolutely perfect for enjoying the company of friends and family. There are great seating corners and chill areas, and the overall flow of the property feels relaxed. We had everything we needed.
