'n Lafenis vir die siel.

Ons het dit terdege geniet en sal definitief terugkeer. Die plek is goed ingerig, skoon en gerieflik met 'n fantastiese see uitsig.

Sublime, cute, gem, views and location, location, location.

Absolutely a wonderful lucky last minute find. Had a sublime stay, the view, the rocks and beautiful sunrises. Beautiful bathrooms and amazing skylights that made it bright and light. Spacious, friendly staff and could not ask for a better private happy place and view.

Perfect beach stay.

A lovely spot, with a great swimming beach directly below the cottage, accessed via a private path. We fell asleep to the sound of the waves. Well equipped and sparkling.

Sublime, pity about the severe water problem.

We have been going down to the South Coast of KZN for years. There's almost no other place in the World, that offers such immense beauty in Nature and an Ocean that you can Swim in. However, due to the water problems, we will think very carefully about a return trip. The entire Coastline is more derelict every year, businesses are suffering. Cry our beloved country!

'n Stukkie paradys.

Stil, rustig, veilig, netjies en die uitsig was fantasties, kon die dolfyne en walvisse sien. Ons het baie lekker gebly en kan nie wag vir ons volgende besoek nie. Komplimente aan Robyn, Roxy en die vriendelike personeel vir uitstekende diens.

Fantasties.

Die personeel is uiters viriendelik en behulpsaam. Die eenheid is in 'n puik toestand en besonder goed toegerus. Ons het veral die onbeperkte uitsig oor die see en die rustigheid geniet. As ouer persone het ons die privaat toegang tot die strand 'n bietjie moeilik gevind. Ons sal egter graag weer daar wil gaan afsaal in die toekoms en wil die eienaars bedank dat hulle hul "huisie by die see" met ons gedeel het.

Fantastic.

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The unit is in excellent condition and exceptionally well equipped. We especially enjoyed the unlimited view of the sea and the tranquility. As older persons, we found the private access to the beach a bit difficult. However, we would like to saddle up there again in the future and would like to thank the owners for sharing their "cottage by the sea" with us.

My home away from home.

The Sea Cottage is such a wonderful place to stay. It is my second time visiting with many return trips planned. We had a great week with dolphin and whale sightings every day. The staff are wonderful and Roxy made us feel at home. The close proximity to the beach is a real bonus, especially with a toddler who wants to explore. Thanks again for having us, it's always such a pleasure.

Baie mooi, skoon, netjies en naby die strand.

Die Sea Cottage is pragtig, skoon en netjies. Ek beveel dit graag aan vir mense maar sonder diere. Ons het gevra vir 'n hondvriendelike plekkie want ons het 2 beagles wat saam ons met vakansie gaan. Ons het vooraf gevra of daar 'n heining is sodat die hondjies nie kan uitkom nie. Ons is meegedeel daar is. Daar gekom het ons gesien dat daar geen heining is nie. My hondjies is geleerd en gehoorsaam en dit was eers nie 'n probleem vir ons nie totdat die hondjies om die huis in die tuin begin rondsnuif het met ons aankoms en daar op ons geskreeu was dat die honde nie sonder 'n leiband mag wees nie. Ek was by hulle gewees en het toesig gehou. Die volgende oomblik skreeu die opsigter op my dat die honde ten alle tye op 'n leiband moet wees. Ons het geen so brief ontvang nie. Omdat daar geen plekkie was om die honde buite toe te maak nie het ons die honde in die huis toegemaak as ons dorp toe moes gaan of restaurant toe. Die opsigter was hiervan bewus. Met ons terugry huis toe het die eienaar ons geskakel en gevra waarom die honde in die huis toegemaak was sonder toesig. Ons was uit die veld geslaan want hierdie reël en die reël oor die leibande was nie aan ons gekommunikeer nie. Sy was uiters onvriendelik teenoor ons en dit nadat ons reeds vertrek het en daar was geen skade aangerig in die huis nie en niks gebreek nie. Als was skoon en reg soos ons dit gekry het met ons aankoms. Ons het self skoongemaak want die skoonmaker was bang vir die honde. Hierdie is glad nie diere vriendelik nie. Dit is slegs geskik vir mense met geen diere nie. Ons is uiters teleurgesteld in hoe ons hanteer is met ons aankoms en vertrek en ook omdat ons vooraf gevra het en seker gemaak het dat die woning wel 'n heining het sodat die hondjies nie kan uitkom en dat dit diere vriendelik is.

Very nice, clean, neat and close to the beach.

The Sea Cottage is beautiful, clean and neat. I recommend it to people but without animals. We asked for a dog-friendly place because we have 2 beagles that go on holiday with us. We asked in advance if there was a fence so the puppies could not get out. We were told there is. When we arrived we saw there was no fence. My puppies were taught and obeyed and it was not a problem for us until the puppies around the house in the garden started sniffing and we were yelled at and told the dogs might not be without a leash. I was with them and supervised. The next moment the caretaker shouts at me that the dogs should always be on a leash. We received no such letter. Because there was no place to close the dogs outside, we closed the dogs in the house when we had to go to town or to the restaurant. The caretaker was aware of this. Upon returning home, the owner phoned us and asked why the dogs were closed in the house without supervision. We were shocked because of this rule and the rule over the leash were not communicated to us. She was extremely unfriendly and that after we left and there was no damage in the house and nothing broke. It was clean and right as we got it on our arrival. We cleaned ourselves because the cleaner was afraid of the dogs. It is not animal-friendly at all. It is only suitable for people with no animals. We are extremely disappointed in how we were treated with our arrival and departure and also because we asked in advance and made sure that the house did have a fence so that the puppies could not come out and that it was friendly.

In reply - I post below the message I sent to Leon at the outset:

“Dear Leon

Thank you for your interest in staying at The Sea Cottage. We look forward to seeing you! We welcome your doggies, but I must please ask that the following doggie house rules are adhered to:
- Please bring your own doggie beds with you
- Doggies are not to be left in the cottage on their own
- Doggies must please be supervised in the garden, as we have a pair of duikers that live in the admiralty in front of the cottage

Our cottage is one of 9, set in a beautiful big garden where it is very peaceful and tranquil. You will love it there!

Kind regards
Robyn
The Sea Cottage”

Sadly, Leon omits to mention that one of their dogs nipped one of the staff members on the ankle.

This is the only bad review we have had in all the years I have let our cottage - 20 years or more. And plenty of our satisfied visitors have brought along their dogs with no mishaps.

Regards,
Robyn Mills

Bo ons verwagtings en aangenaam verras.

Ons het 'n ongelooflike lekker en gemaklike vakansie gehad. Die huisie was baie goed toegerus, met meer as genoeg wat mens nodig het tydens 'n vakansie. Die huisie is op 'n pragtige plek geleë. Ons was aangenaam verras toe ons daar aankom en het elke dag geniet. Ons sal vir seker hulle weer besoek. Ons het dit veral geniet omdat hulle troeteldiervriendelik is.

Wat 'n onvergeetlike wegbreek.

Behalwe vir die weer wat glad nie saamgespeel het nie, kan ek nie aan 'n beter wegbreekplek dink nie. Die eenheid het 'n wonderlike see-uitsig, dit is veilig en die omgewing is stil. Ek sal The Sea Cottage aan enige een aanbeveel wat net weg wil kom van die alledaagse gejaag. En Mia, ons Yorkie was welkom en het ook 'n lekker vakansie gehad saam met haar mens-ouers. Die personeel en dan Roxy het ons welkom laat voel en was behulpsaam met raad en aanbevelings.

Apart from the weather not cooperating at all, I can't think of a better getaway. The unit has a great sea view, it is safe and the environment is quiet. I would recommend The Sea Cottage to anyone who just wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. And Mia, our Yorkie was welcome and also had a nice holiday with her human parents. The staff and then Roxy made us feel welcome and were helpful with advice and recommendations.
