We had a great time staying here! We stayed in the Texas room, with the large windows overlooking the sea. Was so beautiful to be able to hear and see the sea. The room and other rooms were neat and clean. The view from the sunroom is stunning.

But I suggest maybe another room unless they can fix the hot water problem and TV catch.
However, we had no hot water to shower with, all weekend. Inge offered on Saturday evening that we could take a shower in another room on another level. The only TV channel was Universal and reception was poor. The WiFi also very bad. We really enjoyed the location and view.

Thank you so much for your constructive and honest review and taking the time to do so.

We really appreciate all the points you have raised in order for us to improve and make it better on a continuous basis. We would have loved to do so during your stay in order to help with anything needed and adjust accordingly. Thank you very much for your feedback which we have taken to heart and much appreciated.

We have taken this very much to heart that this will not be happening again. Thank you once again for your time to review as it is really appreciated.

Dear Galiema,
Thank you so much for your constructive and honest review and taking your time to do so. We are terribly sorry that your experience with us did not live up to any expectations and you could therefore not enjoy your time. We really appreciate all the points you have raised in order for us to improve and make it better on a continuous basis. We also want to thank you for this as it has also made us revisit our information guides and advertisements, especially in our rooms, to make sure that it is more prominent for future guests as well and surely such miscommunication will never happen again.
As you have taken your valued time to review, we would like the opportunity to also explain our side of things as well which we understand will not make your experience any better, but we would like to give at least some feedback and to let you know that we are really terribly sorry.
Unfortunately, the booking confusion occurred as you struggled at first with your direct booking with TravelGround as you did not know their payment terms. We tried to help and did a provisional booking instead for you in order not to lose your booking until you have sorted this out with them directly. However, it was our fault not to update this accordingly on the system with the number of people coming and we are very sorry that this misunderstanding happened in the first place and apologize dearly when it offended you in any way as we thought this confusion was sorted within minutes and all was in order which you re-confirmed.
During your stay with us, we had lovely long chats over breakfast with quite a few laughs, hence I was very surprised and sad that you found your stay with us as unpleasant as you describe. I apologise once again to you and am very sorry that we disappointed. I am truly not sure if I did not explain correctly that the breakfast is an optional extra and is advertised in each room as well as an optional. We are very sorry if this was not clear or clearly communicated from us which we normally do. The reason for it being excluded from the rate is that many people do not actually eat breakfast and those who do, order it according to our arrangements the night before. On our info material, we advise guests that if they wish to enjoy our optional breakfast and have specific dietary needs, we will do our best to satisfy these needs, but we would need prior notice thereof.
We are so terribly sorry that your stay with us turned into such a bad experience especially in regards to the breakfast situation, which could have been so easily avoided from our side. We would have loved to find a solution during your stay as we always try to assist, help and, of course, our intention is always that our guests have a relaxing and joyful time with us and depart in good spirit. We assume it is too late now, but if we can make up for this in any way, kindly let us know as we are really sorry about our miscommunication or any misunderstanding occurred from our side and left you with such a bad aftertaste.
Your feedback has been really helpful and we take your comments to heart and want to thank you once again for doing so as we will certainly make sure this will not happen again. Thank you so much and we hope you can accept our apology.
Regards,
Swept Away Guesthouse

It was pleasant to spend the night at Swept Away. The view over the sea is fantastic. If you do not want to share a house with other people, I would suggest that you prefer not to spend the night there. Although each room is private, it can still get a bit 'crowded' if there are still people staying the night. Just my personal opinion.

This room has a breathtaking view of the sea!
Swept Away Guesthouse has a beautiful sea view, whether you're in the room of having breakfast. We were warmly received and the room was neat. A few things bothered me: there is no space to put one's bag down or hang one's clothes - except for a coat hook. The pillows are definitely worn and should be replaced - on request they replaced ours.The convenient shower has a curtain that lets quite a lot of water through and could be replaced with a door. Thank you!

Hallo Ursula, dankie vir die kommentaar. Ons is reeds besig om veranderinge te maak om die klagtes te verbeter. 'n Kassie vir ophang goed is in die kombuis in gebou, die kussings is ook vir nuwes uitgeruil. Die stort gordyn is uitgeruil vir een wat ekstra lank is en nou is die probleem opgelos. Ons sê dankie vir u eerlike mening en spesifieke kritiek.
U help vir ons om nog beter to word, so baie dankie.

It was very nice.
Sorry there is no secure parking for cars. Must park on the street. The clear 2 TV channels are in German and the rest are unclear. We had to ask for soap and toilet paper which was fixed the next morning. Otherwise it was neat and clean and Inge's breakfast was delicious and we were received very hospitably. Would definitely recommend it.

Hallo Heleen
Ons is jammer dat jou idee oor parkering anders is as ons s'n, die straat parkering by ons, is nie dieselfde nie en dan in die middel van Kaapstad. Ons het in die jare wat ons oop is, nog nooit 'n inbraak in 'n motor van ons gaste gehad nie. Ons stem saam dat die lokale TV programme nie altyd goed te sien was nie, dit blyk dat die weer, daarby 'n rol gespeel het. Ons het u kritiek verstaan en die probleem behef indien ons DStv ingebou het, die het deesdae SABC 1,2,3 en ETV op hulle skedule, soos ook baie meer kanale. Ons sê dankie vie u kommentaar, en jammer vir enige ongerief, en dankie vir die lof.
Groete
Inge

The representation on the Internet creates a false impression, and is very misleading.
I was under the impression that "self catering" for a seaside location would at least have an outside barbecue. However, there were no braai facilities. I had to climb never ending amounts of stairs before I could get in or out. The pictures on the internet are very misleading. It looks like you're close to the sea, but there's no way to get to the sea on foot, and you have to take long detours. You cannot sit on the chairs in the room. It's rattan chairs and loin lamb to such an extent that I almost lost myself. The apartment was not prepared for our arrival, I managed to get hold of the person with many attempts, after which I had to wait for the place to be cleaned. The plates came out of the cupboard dirty and moldy with food from the previous visitor. I was not impressed at all. The TV's "local" channels do not work, and there are only German channels. The experience leaves me cold.

Very nice stay, Inge is a friendly and polite hostess who welcomed us with open arms. We stayed in the self catering unit but asked for her famous breakfast in the morning, best idea ever! So nice to eat. Also, she really meant that one can look out at the sea everywhere. It was peaceful and quiet, exactly the type of getaway we had in mind and needed. She can definitely expect us again for a nice visit!

Good Day George,
Thank you for the review on Swept Away Guest House. We apologise that you were irritated by the smoking. Further to your comment about us not being fully equipped for handycapped people, you are absolutely correct. We did however discuss this in a phone call before you booked, and I explained to you that we do not have safety bars in the shower and toilet area. We are sorry that you feel that this was a cause to complain.
Best Regards,
Inge

One small setback.
The indication of how to find Swept Away was unclear and the location was also disappointing. The rooms were not specially decorated and the photo on the website does not match what was offered. We arrived on Sunday afternoon and the whole place seemed to have died out. Not a single cafe is open to eat a trifle. The hostess could have alerted us to this. Luckily the fir appeared to be open so we could do some shopping. The breakfast was good.

Pathetic.
I have never slept in such a pathetic place and I stay all over the country in at least 4 guest houses in a month. The place was dirty and there was no soap and shampoo; I should have gone shopping at the Spar. I only had one duvet on the bed and it was very cold. The curtains were wet and could not be drawn because they had been hooked in the window. The place was dirty and someone is sleeping in that room because they packed all his clothes to one side.
