Visit with parents.
There were a few corners that needed cleaning and the downstairs bathroom is much nicer than we expected. The view and tranquility were perfect for a nice break.

We had a lovely stay because we chose to make it so. The accommodation other than the location wasn't great.

Good day Walter,
Many thanks for taking the time to review your stay in Witsand. We are delighted that you enjoyed the views of the Breede river.
We manage ten holiday homes in Witsand, they are all self-catering which means we supply the initial consumables. This is standard practice with all self-catering accommodation. We also supply several load shedding light bulbs in the house, a gas hob and a soon-to-be-fitted battery pack for WiFi.
There are liquid soap dispensers in all bathrooms.
We try hard to practice sustainable tourism practices which is why we ask all our guests to please recycle.
We are not sure why you found the bed uncomfortable as a new mattress was invested in less than a year ago. However, we will look into it and most likely remove the current base.
A new smart TV was also invested in, this is located in the living room near the fireplace. We have not had any complaints before about where it is placed but will have a look at that and modify if necessary.
During Witsand’s high season it is very difficult to get time to do maintenance jobs as Waterford is just about booked the whole time - mostly by returning guests who love this charming , simple , private and budget rate cottage. However, it is just about end of season now and we will have the time to address all the complaints you have made. The couch in the lounge will also be upgraded shortly.
Plus a deep clean has been scheduled for next week.

Stay was amazing!
I can highly recommend Waterford. Great location for fishermen at popular jetty and close to restaurant if you don't feel like cooking, walking distance to popular market.

Dit is heerlik vir 2 mense gewees.

It was delicious for 2 people.
Would just like more than 1 towel each for 7 days. 1 per person was far too little. Our ashes will go back anytime. I'm recovering from back surgery and was able to lie on the couch in the living room and look out over the river, which at least gave me a vacation feeling.

Waterford Holiday Home 's response
Good day Elizabeth,
Many thanks for taking the time to review your stay at Waterford holiday home. We are delighted that you enjoyed the fabulous view over the Breede River and the safe, quiet village of Witsand.
The cleaning fee has to be charged separately from the rate as we are agents of several self-catering holiday homes in Witsand and work on commission payments from the income for the owners of the houses.
We are unsure why you felt you did not receive value for money. Perhaps you would be kind enough to let us know what more you expected for R830 per night for 2 people, besides a 2-bedroomed, 2-bathroomed, lovely winter fireplace, self-catering free-standing holiday home with Wi-Fi, bedding, and a braai grid provided.
We now supply towels to all our accommodations, we removed them only during the Covid crisis, as people were preferring to bring their own.
Waterford is not listed as a luxury establishment but as a simple river cottage. Many of our guests return to this cottage as they enjoy its cheap rate and great location.
We hope you return to Witsand again and if so, please ask us about the more luxurious accommodation we manage but expect to pay more for it than you did for Waterford.
Kind regards,
Helen

Die ligging is goed en het 'n goeie uitsig oor die rivier, maar die plek is vuil en onversorg. Nie waarde vir geld nie.

The location is good and has a good view of the river, but the place is dirty and unkempt. Not value for money.
1. Cutlery and cutlery were dirty and we had to wash them first to be able to use them. Also very old. 2. General maintenance of the place is very poor and needs urgent attention. 3. The furniture is very old and poor. 4. The place was not clean when we got there. One gets the impression that there is no proper supervision of the cleaning process. Floors and the carpets were dirty. 5. Some of the photos are misleading - especially about the furniture in the living room.

Good day Danie. Many thanks for taking the time to review your stay. It was a shame the weather was unpleasant during the two days you stayed in Witsand. If you had informed us that you were unhappy with the accommodation, we would of gladly moved you to another unit for the duration of your stay. We have noted all your comments. We have already replaced the old cutlery with a new set. We have also requested a quote for new kitchen cupboards to be fitted and the owner of the house has agreed to this. The house is scheduled for a deep clean this coming week. Whilst we know that the furniture is not the latest 'fashion', it is comfortable and practical for a holiday home that we describe as simple and basic. We do mange many holiday homes in Witsand and some are more luxurious than others. This way guests on a budget can afford the cheaper options. Waterford is the cheapest house on our portfolio and it does attract many returning guests who like the private location, river views and affordable rate.
The photographs are all up to date.

Incredible view and great relaxation. Well equipped with everything needed.
We will definitely want to visit here again. House has a view of the river and is literally just across the road from it. Master bedroom also has views of the river with a front and rear patio. The electric blanket was a great asset in the cold winter as was the fireplace in the living area. When we arrived there was no power due to unexpected outage, luckily there were 2 lights that worked despite the power outage.

Dit het ingereën en is baie koud binne-in huisie. As jy die vuur aansteek is die hele huisie vol rook. Ons het al by baie plekke gebly, maar sal nie dié een aanbeveel in die winter nie.

It has rained and it is very cold inside the house. When you light the fire the whole house is full of smoke. We have stayed at many places but would not recommend this one in the winter.
It was very cold inside. Even though there was a warm blanket on the bed, the bedding on top felt wet. For the money we paid we are very disappointed.

Lovely master bedroom and living area with porch. Space on yard ample for children to play and boat. Would have preferred more crockery and a baking dish. Will trade washing machine for dishwasher.

The unit is in urgent need of renovation.
Although the location is good and the view of the river is beautiful, the unit gives a feeling of neglect. It was not "spotless". It's as if everything has been gathered together to provide and it makes it look like a thrift store. There is a very stylish, now staircase to the master bedroom of which guests should be informed ahead of time.
