Cosy and well-appointed!

It's a tranquil hideout from the hustle and bustle of Gordon's Bay and Strand. The studio we had was spotless, beautifully designed, and included everything one would need. We could easily stay here for a whole week. Kim is also a lovely hostess!

Great hostess in the worst cold and winter rain always wanted to know if we were still ok.

Kim, guest lady, hospitality No 1, let us in storm rain and cold, used her verandah to braai with grandchildren. You will never get a better place. Go for Watermill Studio.

Stukkie paradys.

Absoluut fantasties. Die stilte was besonders. Ons het gegaan om uit die besige stad te kom en in die paradys kon ons stilte vind. Om die son te sien sak vanaf die stoep was die mooiste.

Piece of paradise.

Absolutely fantastic. The silence was special. We went to get out of the busy city and in paradise we could find silence. Seeing the sun set from the porch was the most beautiful.

My boyfriend loved it, but you must have a car if you are going to Watermill Studios. It's a beautiful place with a lovely host.

Hi Cleo. Thanks for the lovely review. I'm so glad you loved the views, and the peace, quiet, and privacy of our tranquil guesthouse.

A restful, tranquil stay, with beautiful sunsets, perfect outdoor seating to meet around the table; eat and make merry.

Great enclosed area for your furry friend to run around in. Everything needed was available, did not want more! Lovely accommodating hosts which give you your privacy but are there if in need. Thank you Kim for your hospitality! For us a definite go-to destination when we in the area with our furry buddy!

Ek was saam my man vir ons huweliksherdenking. Ek het dit terdeë geniet. Als was gemaklik, Kim was baie behulpsaam. Sal definitief weer gaan vakansie hou daar.

Die swembad was skoon, die gasheer was baie vriendelik als was in plek.

Not as advertised, very nice though for maybe a family, but not private like what we required.

Unfortunately we had 2 mice that came into the rooms. Our food was also covered in ants the next morning. It was not spacey enough for 4 people to make food. The house is connected by a door, with the main bedroom being directly next to this door, and the door connects the house to the unit, therefore you can hear everything from both sides, which we did not find private. Please understand our review is purely based on our requirement. Our requirement was for a private space with a private swimming pool which it seemed to have been according to the photos shown on the internet. Which only shows the unit and also indicates that the sea is much nearer than what it turned out to be. I also enquired about this and it was promised that it was private. We felt very uncomfortable to swim or make use of the veranda as the gardening services were there until very late in the afternoon and also the house family's view is completely looking over the swimming pool. It rained on Sunday, and the host was very nice to tell us we could move the braai to on top of the veranda, however we could not braai on Sunday as the roof is not whole. Please note that this is only reviewed according to what our needs were and not that it will not accommodate someone else's needs. Despite the misleading information the owner is very friendly and accommodating. Had no problems and did not get any hassles. Kim is however a top notch host. Down to earth, very friendly and told us to let her know if we needed anything at anytime.

Had wonderful time with wonderful host Kim.

Kids are happy, means we are happy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in a comfortable and clean 2 bedroom house. The no stove and smallish kitchen was a challenge but when you're on holiday those things are minor. Would love to book again. Again, Kim was just great.
