Enjoyed our stay.

The stay was good and the hosts were very accommodating. Just one word of warning: the driveway is extremely narrow and if you are in a large SUV, you may struggle to get out of your vehicle due to the proximity of the walls, in which case you would have to park in the street.

The Pool Cottage 's response

Thank you for your review, Kevin.
We have had SUVs, 4x4s, campers and caravans in our narrow driveway in the past, and street parking we don't encourage because we have parking in front of our house as well.

Peaceful and relaxing.

Had a wonderful peaceful retreat. We loved every minute of it and most definitely will return. Thank you very much. The best part of it was us being able to take our little fur baby with us.

We had a peaceful comfortable night in this spotless little cottage.

We overnighted in the very comfortable, spotlessly clean little Pool Cottage. Everything went very smoothly, as Debbie is very efficient. Perfect for travellers or tourists who are visiting the sights around Fish Hoek and Cape Point area. The pool looked very tempting, but the weather wasn't!

A nice place central in Fish Hoek. Nice to stay a few days.

Nice small studio with all basic amenities. The swimming pool is a great plus (it was a bit cold when we stayed). There is also a nice place outside (ideal when sunny).

My kuier in Vis Hoek was 'n belewenis. Kon darm na Muizenberg en Kalkbaai toe gaan.

Uuhmm. Die pool was nie na wense nie. Dit was vuil, vol blare en insekte. Ek het eintlik uitgesien na die pool. Was eintlik baie teleurgesteld. Verder was die huise netjies.

My visit to Vis Hoek was an experience. Could go to Muizenberg and Kalkbaai.

Uhmm. The pool was not up to expectations. It was dirty, full of leaves and insects. I was actually looking forward to the pool. Was actually very disappointed. Furthermore, the houses were neat.

Good value for our stop over.

The cottage was well finished, clean and well maintained, and we had everything we needed. It is close to so many lovely attractions, and we would certainly consider stopping over there again when exploring the surrounds on the southern tip of the Peninsula.

Wonderful you can sit back and relax at the pool and at the fire.

My stay at the accommodation was wonderful. Can't wait to book it again. It's peaceful, lovely, and you have your own space. I just love this accommodation.

Best stay ever, safe and secured.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The fact that you have the entire cottage all to yourself. The owner was very warm and friendly; it felt like home. Bedding smelled fresh, the apartment is so clean. The fact that the owner allows kids as well makes it even better. Love the pool cottage.

It was absolutely awesome, just a bit too short. We'll stay longer next time. You feel instantly at home. And the owner, she's a very friendly person and makes you feel very comfortable.

It was a pleasure having Suzann for a little stop over. Lovely to chat to and they left the cottage in a lovely condition. I would welcome them back at any time again. Have a good Christmas, Suzann.

Perfect stay with all one needs.

The hostess has everything arranged perfectly for our stay. Very clean with all typical requirements supplied. She totally allows your privacy while at the same time keeps you informed of load shedding times via messages. The neighbourhood is very quiet and the parking is secure off the street.

Perfect base for a couple exploring Cape Peninsula.

Ours was a very brief overnight stay, but it was a very comfortable stay. It occurred to me that the accommodation would be ideal as a 'home base' for a couple who are sightseeing around the Cape Peninsula. The accommodation is ideal for a couple, or even a family with a small child. Debby was a very friendly, helpful host.

Baie netjies.

Plekkie is bietjie klein vir 4 mense, baie netjies en skoon, lieflike stort en swembad. Braaigeriewe is nie ideaal nie, ook baie beperkte buiteruimte. Te min glase, cutlery en breekware.

Very neat.

Place is a bit small for 4 people, very neat and clean, lovely shower and pool. Braai facilities are not ideal, also very limited outdoor space. Too few glasses, cutlery and crockery.

Good for overnight but just too small. Total space equates to a small hotel room.

I compare this to where I stayed before. For just a little more money we had a whole two-bedroom, two-bathroom house complete with laundry and a TV room.
