Mooi uitsig met pragtige eenheid, visserman droom, beskeie area.

Die gasheer is vriendelik en hulpvaardig en het uit sy pad gegaan om ons welkom te laat voel en te bederf met neute. Hy het ook seker gemaak dat ons vertroud is met die eenheid. Die eenheid is goed toegerus en keurig versier. Slaapkamers is mooi skoon en beddens van hoogstaande gehalte, en selfs 'n haardroër en hangers wat handig was. TV met skottelvoorreregte was beskikbaar met 'n wye verskeidenheid kanale. Pragtige uitsig op die rivier met 'n klein tuin en braaigeriewe. Die kombuis kan dalk net doen met 'n paar aanpassings t.o.v. glase en eetgerei, maar was verder mooi ingerig, en die wasmasjien en tuimeldroër het handig ingekom. Die omgewing is nie tipies jou vakansie-omgewing nie. Die eenheid is geleë in 'n laerin komste beskeie area reg langs die industriële gebied. Indien jy hou van visvang is dit gerieflik omdat die rivier 10 tree van jou voordeur af is, maar ek sal die eenheid nie heeltemal vir gesinsvakansiedoeleindes aanbeveel nie. Dit is definitief goed geleë vir mense wat vir werk of visvang PE besoek. Wanneer die wind draai, is daar 'n effense klank in die lug vanweë sekere nywerhede.

Nice view with beautiful unit, fisherman's dream, modest area.

The host is friendly and helpful and went out of his way to make us feel welcome and spoil us with nuts. He also made sure that we were familiar with the unit. The unit is well equipped and nicely decorated. Bedrooms are nicely clean and beds of high quality, and even a hairdryer and hangers which were handy. Dish TV was available with a wide selection of channels. Beautiful view of the river with a small garden and braai facilities. The kitchen might just do with a few adjustments in terms of glasses and cutlery, but was otherwise nicely furnished, and the washing machine and tumble dryer came in handy. The setting is not your typical vacation setting. The unit is located in a lower income modest area right next to the industrial area. If you like fishing it's convenient because the river is 10 yards from your front door, but I wouldn't recommend the unit entirely for family vacation purposes. It is definitely well located for people visiting PE for work or fishing. When the wind turns, there is a slight sound in the air due to certain industries.

Heerlik.

Baie netjies en gemaklik, alles wat jy nodig het vir 'n heerlike rustyd. Die uitsig is pragtig, die kombuis is stunning en prekties, heerlik geslaap. Ons gasheer was nederig en respekvol, baie dankie.

Baie lekker plekkie met 'n mooi uitsig. Die huiseienaar het ons baie vriendelik ontvang. Sal dit weer bespreek.

Ons het 'n baie lekker en opwindende naweek vol pret gehad. Ons bure was vriendelik, ons het tuis gevoel. Baie mooi uitsig. Dit is 'n lekker warm en veilige huisie, mooi skoon en pragtig gemeubileer. Sal definitief weer bespreek.

Everything you will need for your stay they have.

Our stay was amazing only down fall they don't have a oven only a air fryer other then that everything was great 10 out of 10 the house has everything you need doesn't lack a thing. The owners literally thought of everything a person will need beds are comfortable. I will recommend this to everyone I know that's visiting PE.
