Awesome, peaceful and blissful.

Southern Strand is a little hideaway town. No noise pollution, only the waves breaking against the rock. We had a great sea view. We stayed for 4 days and the gravel road was scraped twice. This made the trip to Struisbaai and back a breeze. It was a great stay and attention to detail in the place was really good. We felt at home there.

We and our 2 doggies enjoyed our stay thoroughly.

Neat, tidy and clean. Nice beach decor. Very quiet away from the touristy Agulhas. Lovely deck that you can sit on to view the sea. Bedrooms on the sunny side of the house, great for that afternoon nap. Walking to the beach is just down the road. A bonus, they have a dishwasher in the apartment.

Our experience at Southern Beach House was absolutely amazing.

When we first arrived, it was raining, but the house was nice and comfy for us to chill in. We had an amazing time, there was an inside braai and we enjoyed every moment of the weekend. The house had everything we needed and the view was so beautiful, waking up to that for the weekend was a highlight. The kids enjoyed it so much. Thank you again to the lovely Lorraine for accommodating me and my family.

Rustig, veilig en so tuis gevoel.

Lorraine, die eienaar, was konstant in kontak met ons om seker te wees dat alles na wense is. Pragtige plek en was heerlik om elke aand met die geluid van branders aan die slaap te raak. Die plekkie is heerlik rustig, veilig en gerieflik.

Quiet, safe and felt so at home.

Lorraine, the owner, was in constant contact with us to make sure that everything was to our liking. Beautiful place and it was lovely to fall asleep to the sound of the waves every night. The place is wonderfully peaceful, safe and comfortable.

Absolutely loved the place.

The house was perfect and comfortable. The only thing we didn't enjoy was the dirt road to get there. But it was the perfect setting for a rainy weekend. Thank you Lorraine we will definitely be visiting again soon.

The area is beautiful. The apartment is spacious. We did worry a little about the security though.

Although the apartment was located well with lovely views, we noticed that the sliding door could not lock at all. This was a little worrying, even though Lorrainne did tell us that it is a very safe area. It would also have been great to be supplied with 2 clean bath towels. Fortunately we did have towels with us, but when travelling it does really help if one does not have to pack damp towels.

The Southern Beach House 's response

Hi Dewald,

My apologies, we only realized after you had left that the key for the sliding door was not working. We have subsequently replaced the lock.

Regarding the towels, I do say on my web page that guests are to bring their own towels but I would have gladly supplied towels if you had requested them. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Thank you.
Lorraine

Baie lekker ruim huis, genoeg eetgerei, baie gerieflik.

Die huis was skoon, maar orals in die kamers was baie spinnekoppe en spinnerakke agter beddens onder beddens in hoeke in kamers op lampskerms langs bed en in dak. Orals is vreemde goggas ons moes omtrent gif spuit, maar ek verstaan daar is baie bosse om die huis en waarskynlik kom dit vandaar. Die stort wat nie wou dreineer nie, ek het foto's geneem dat julle kan sien. Ek sal graag weer wil gaan na daardie huis, het lekker gekuier maar, daar sal moet skoongemaak word en ook gif gespuit word in die huis. Die boonste stort lek tot onder langs die binnebraai - aandag sal moet gegee word aan dit, asook die binnebraai mag nie gebruik word nie, sal graag dit wou gebruik wanneer die weer onguur is buite. Ons moes maar buite in die koue wind braai - as hulle dit net kan uitsorteer.

Very nice spacious house, enough cutlery, very comfortable.

The house was clean, but everywhere in the rooms there were many spiders and cobwebs behind beds under beds in corners in rooms on lampshades by the bed and in the roof. There are strange bugs everywhere we almost had to spray poison, but I understand there are a lot of bushes around the house and it probably comes from there. The shower that wouldn't drain, I took pictures for you to see. I would like to go to that house again, had a good time but, there will have to be cleaning and also poison sprayed in the house. The upper shower leaks down to the bottom next to the indoor braai - attention will have to be paid to this, as well as the indoor braai is not allowed to be used, would love to use it when the weather is inclement outside. We had to braai outside in the cold wind - if only they could sort it out.

Hi Karien,
Thank you for your feedback.
We are attending to all the issues that you mentioned.
The downstairs living area has a fireplace and not a braai inside but guests are welcome to have potjies etc in the fireplace.
The interleading flatlet has an indoor braai and guests are welcome to rent this space too if they require additional space.

Baie lekker huis vir 'n groot groep of gesin.

Uitsig vanaf die tweede verdieping oor die see is mooi. Dit het al die basiese goed wat nodig is. Ons het reën gehad heel naweek en het nie omgegee om in die huis te bly nie.

Very nice house for a large group or family.

View from the second floor over the sea is beautiful. It has all the basic things needed. We had rain all weekend and didn't mind staying indoors.

Dit was lekker, maar nie baie skoon nie.

Die kamers bo is baie netjies en modern. Onder was die huis nie baie netjies en skoon nie. Stort het muf in, skottelgoed is vuil in die kaste gesit en die meubels en armleuning van die trappe was stowwerig.

It was nice, but not very clean.

The rooms upstairs are very neat and modern. Downstairs the house was not very neat and clean. The shower had mould, the dishes were dirty in the cupboards and the furniture and armrest of the stairs were dusty.

Dit was die ideale vakansie vir mense wat hou van stap, die natuur en smag na rus vir die siel "far from the madding crowd" in 'n pragtige huis met baie leeshoekies.

Hierdie unieke huis is 'n lus vir die oog en is ingerig vir 'n heerlik onspanne vakansie. Daar is volop geleentheid vir stap (die naaste swemstrand is 'n halfuur se stap weg), visvang en sommer na die voëltjies kyk terwyl jy op die hangmat lê. Geen winkels in Suiderstrand, maar L'Algulhas is net vyf km se grondpad ver.

It was the ideal holiday for people who like walking, nature and long for rest for the soul "far from the madding crowd" in a beautiful house with many reading nooks.

This unique house is a feast for the eyes and is set up for a wonderfully relaxed holiday. There is plenty of opportunity for walking (the nearest swimming beach is half an hour's walk away), fishing and simply watching the birds while lying on the hammock. No shops in Suiderstrand, but L'Algulhas is only five km away by dirt road.

Absolutely super stay.

Quiet, peaceful getaway. The lack of MTN cell phone reception was a bonus for me as I could truly get away from work and relax. Well equipped accommodation with pleasing extras such as a dishwasher and more than ample fridge space. Beds were comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
