Delightful.

Very comfortable. The house made sense. Nice proximity to the beach with a view of the sea and mountain. Built so you are sheltered from the wind. A great time was had by all. Lovely indoor fireplace. Thanks for the wood.

The Mermaid's Tail 's response

Hi Deborah. Thank you for your review and we are glad you had a great time. The built-in braai on the deck, which also keeps the deck virtually wind-free, has been a very popular addition. Kind regards, Paul and Jenny.

Ons het dit baie geniet.

Dis 'n lekker familiehuis met 'n wonderlike stoep waar die gesin lekker kan kuier en lag. Die stoep kyk ook uit op die swembad wat lekker warm is. Die huis kan groot gesinne of groepe huisves. Die stoep was vir my 'n hoogtepunt omdat ons buite mense is. Die huis is naby die winkeltjies geleë wat dit gerieflik maak om te stap, sou jy iets nodig het.

We enjoyed it very much.

It's a nice family home with a wonderful porch where the family can hang out and laugh. The veranda also overlooks the swimming pool which is nice and warm. The house can accommodate large families or groups. The porch was a highlight for me because we are outside people. The house is located near the shops which makes it convenient to walk, should you need anything.

Wonderful family time at Mermaids Tail.

Our family (5 adults) had a wonderful stay at The Mermaid's Tail. Well equipped and lacking for nothing. Spacious and cosy lounge and sun room with fire place was well used during colder days and evening. Large gas stove came in handy during loadshedding and small detail such as availability of battery operated lamps for loadshedding was appreciated. Can highly recommend and will be back!

Lovely family home with a pool and a great view.

Accommodation was pretty clean and tidy. This is first a family home and is priced accordingly. The deck and it's view is a great feature, and what you want in Pringle Bay! Nice having 2 large fridge freezers and all the bits and bobs one needs for food and fun. Less than 10 minute walk to the beach. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Excellent services. A short break away well spent at your facility. We will be back.

We really got value for money. This was the fist time ever that we as a family have been on holiday that we got everything. Kitchen well equipped, even spices and beverages. Bathrooms well kept with enough toilet paper, tissues, shampoo, body wash, etc. You don get this at hotels anymore. Wash room and and and ... too much to tell. Lastly we had friends over while staying there and the landlord was so accommodating. Thank you very much, Paul and Jenny.

Everything you would need in 1 location.

Fun for the whole family. They unit had all we needed, and was well presented upon arrival. The welcome note was an awesome personal touch. Having a young child and then teenagers, they were all well entertained the entire weekend. Only thing for me, was a wood burning braai place, which we understand why it cannot be done, but that is me being silly, as there is nothing else that was wrong. Unfortunately for us the weather did not play the part, and got nice and warm the morning we left. That is all that did not go our way.

Beautiful place, everything was as I was expected it to be. Friendly owner,made sure that we knew everything about the place before we got there. The owners thought of everything, towels, bedding, mosquito sprays, spices, toys for kids and pool and more. Would definitely go back and recommend to others.

Wat 'n lekker huis weg van die huis!

Ons het so lekker gebly by die Mermaid's tail. Alhoewel ons naweek met slegte weer gekom het, was daar alles daar om dit so gesellig as moonlik te maak. Snoesig, warm en knus. Netjies en skoon.
