Onvergeetlike.

Armand het uit sy pad gegaan om ons te help, en ons waardeer dit opreg. Tidal Pools het ons stoutste verwagtings oortref en ons beveel dit ten sterkste aan. Dis 'n hanetreetjie van die see af en ons hele ervaring daarvan was uit die boonste rakke. Weer eens, baie dankie Armand!

Unforgettable.

Armand went out of his way to help us, and we really appreciate it. Tidal Pools exceeded our wildest expectations and we highly recommend them. It's a stone's throw from the sea and our whole experience was top notch. Once again, thank you very much Armand!

The place is a little dated, so if you're looking for top-class stunning, this is not for you.

If you are looking for down-to-earth, honest (what you see is what you get). Great! Go ahead and book! Proximity to the sea is amazing and the view with the sounds of waves crashing can't be beat. My only recommendation is for the site to highlight/emphasise that there is nothing other than cutlery and beds. I only saw in the body of everything after booking there is no bedding supplied etc. But after all is said, it is a back-to-basics unit that delivered all we needed for our stay. Also a reminder email with a reminder of what is "needed "(bedding/towels etc.) with a map possibly would be a good idea?

We will not stay there again.

The place was clean, but the furniture is very old and there was no grater and the beater, can opener and kitchen shears were rusty.

Uitsig was mooi, maar sal nie weer daar gaan bly nie.

Uitsig was wonderlik. Ons het met motorfiets gery en was teleurgesteld toe ons hoor ons het reeds betaal en beddegoed word nie verskaf nie. Nogal problematies as jy met motorfiets toer. Fotos wys beddegoed (om dit mooi te laat lyk volgens eienaar) maar direk nadat jy betaal het vind jy uit daar is nie beddegoed nie. Verander die fotos na fotos sonder beddegoed asb, dit skep wanindruk.

View was nice, but would not stay there again.

View was great. We traveled by motorbike and were disappointed to hear that we had already paid and bedding was not provided. Quite problematic if you are touring by motorbike. Photos show bedding (to make it look nice according to owner) but right after paying you find out there is no bedding. Please change the photos to photos without bedding, it creates a false impression.

Ek is baie jammer, maar u kommentaar is verkeerd. Voordat u 'n sent betaal het, was u in skrif in kennis gestel dat daar nie beddegoed is nie. U is welkom om u korrespondensie na te gaan. Ons kan nie verantwoodrdelik gehou word indien u nie die inligting wat u ontvang het nie kan of wil lees nie.

Ons het u ook opgegradeer na 'n beter en duurder eenheid sonder enige ekstra kostes. U metgesel het tydens en met kul vertrek ons hartlik bedank vir die lieflike plek.

Stel voor jy lees die inligting wat u ontvang voordat u kommentaar wil lewer wat nie waar is nie.

Come often to Jongensfontein, very nice place.

We have stayed there a few times. Everything is always nice and neatly laid out, maybe just a little old and maybe could be made nice again. However, the floors were pretty dirty when we stepped in. You can see it was mopped and wet and then walked on again. Drums inside are broken, need to be replaced. Furthermore, it was very delicious and tasty.

Lekker snoesig voor die vuur.

Die wind was onplesierig maar ons het tyd ingeruil voor die ingeboude braai waar ek rustig my boek kon lees. Alles was netjies.

Dit was waarlik waarde vir geld.

Die plek was netjies, skoon, prakties en gerieflik. Die diens was puik en vriendelik. Ek en my gesin sal definitief weer kom. Die binnebraai saans in die koue weer was 'n absolute pluspunt.

Absoluut fantasties! Baie hartseer om huis toe te gaan!

Ons het verskriklik lekker vakansiegehou! Ek wens ons kon sommer 'n maand of langer bly. Die akkommodasie was baie gerieflik, die binnebraai 'n absolute pluspunt aangesien die wind geneig is om teen die aand se kant op te kom teen die see. Die enkele versoek wat ons gehad het (as gevolg van die see, en sand en roes, ens. het voordeurslot nie so goed gewerk nie), was onmiddellik aandag aan gegee en sommer in 'n japtrap was die slot vervang. Armand en sy vrou was baie behulpsaam! Ek sal Tidal Pools definitief vir enigiemand aanbeveel. Volgende jaar bespreek ons definitief vir ten minste 2 weke!

Absolutely fantastic! Very sad to go home!

We had a great vacation! I wish we could just stay a month or longer. The accommodation was very comfortable, the indoor braai an absolute plus as the wind tends to come up towards the sea in the evening. The only request we had (due to the sea, and sand and rust, etc. the front door lock didn't work so well) was attended to immediately and the lock was replaced in no time. Armand and his wife were very helpful! I would definitely recommend Tidal Pools to anyone. Next year we are definitely booking for at least 2 weeks!

Gelukkig en tevrede.

Die ontvangs was baie vriendelik en die probleem met die warmwaterstelsel is onmiddelik aandag aan gegee al was dit op 'n Sondag. Die wooneenheid is mooi skoon en netjies. Daar kan moontlik bietjie aandag aan die gordyne gegee word. Ons sal beslis weer Tidal Pools besoek dit is alles wat ons verwag het. Ons deposito is dieselfde dag wat ons ontruim het terugbetaal. Ons Gautengesrs is beslis nie sulke veiligheid gewoond nie.

The reception was very friendly and the problem with the hot water system was attended to immediately even though it was on a Sunday. The residential unit is nice and clean. Some attention could possibly be paid to the curtains. We will definitely visit Tidal Pools again it is everything we expected. Our deposit was refunded the same day we vacated. Our Gautengesrs are certainly not used to such security.

Ons het heerlik gerus en gekuier.

Die uitsig oor die see was heerlik en als is stapafstand vanaf die woonstel. Die gebou kort wel net bietjie aandag - krane en pype lek, toilette raas en deure maak moeilik oop en toe. Die enkelbedmatrasse is ook net baie moeg, maar die pragtige omgewing het opgemaak daarvoor.

Wonderful relaxing and socialising.

The view of the ocean was wonderful and everything is walking distance from the apartment. The building needs some attention - taps and pipes lead, toilets are noisy and doors struggle to open and close. The single bed mattresses are also dilapidated, but the beautiful area made up for it.
