Wavecrest Self-Catering Suites

A wonderful stay at Whale Watch Apartment.

I stayed six nights. The house is directly located behind the dune. You hear the ocean sounds and sitting on the veranda is like being right at the beach. The beds are very comfy. There is everything in the kitchen you need to prepare meals. There is a nice maid coming twice a week who will clean the apartment. The car is safely parked inside the gate. Greta is a caring and friendly host. Bob the Labrador will always greet you very softly when you enter the premises. I recommend Whale Watch to all Port Alfred visitors who want a perfect stay.

It was exactly as we had hoped. Quiet, clean and with a wonderful view.

Very peaceful and very pleasant.

It was awesome, host was amazing.

The accommodation is beautiful, host is such an amazing person.

Thank you to Greta for a wonderful stay!

I travelled on my own. Relaxing stay.

Tranquil.

Location - outstanding. Friendly hostess. Quite and peaceful.

As ek nie vooruit betaal het nie, het ons na dag 1 opgepak.

Glad nie, voordeur kon nie toelsluit nie. Ek het vir 2 nagte bespreek en betaal, en die gasvrou het ons die volgende dag gevra hoe laat ons sou vertrek. Jy sien die see as jy op jou tone staan en oor die bosse loer. Baie misleidende advertensie. Die gasvrou het ook gevra of ons die verskil gaan inbetaal nadat ons ten volle betaal het by Lekkelsaap.

The perfect place to relax and unwind.

See stars.

We enjoyed our stay tremendously.

The place was very neat and comfortable and has the most amazing sea views. Greta was a great host and we will definitely come again.

Relaxed and as expected.

The venue was slightly bigger than we expected. Cooking facilities need improvement, but all else is excellent.

Rustige see-uitsig.

Lekker gekuier boonste eenheid het mooi see-uitsig.

Rus vir die siel

Veilige en rustige omgewing. Strand is 'n paar tree weg. Tenks is gekoppel aan die huis indien daar water tekort is. Beskrywing van verblyf is akkuraat. Gasvrou is baie aangenaam.

Great stay over, lovely unit, lovely people.

Very happy with everything. Greta became a friend.

Heerlike selfsorg-akkommodasie op die strand en werklik waarde vir geld.

Akkommodasie perfek geplaas, netjies, skoon met alles wat nodig is vir 'n heerlike wegbreek by die see, en werklik waarde vir geld. Dit was lekker om aan die slaap te raak met die geluid van brekende branders. Sal weer gaan.

Lovely stay right on the beach and I loved the two friendly Labradors!

We enjoyed our stay, thank you!

Rustig en ontspannend.

Dit was 'n baie rustige wegbreek vir my, het dit nodig gehad vir sielsontspanning.

Quiet surroundings with awesome view.

Greta is a great host, always willing to help. We had a lovely stay.

Peaceful, clean and great view.

From the start Greta made us feel welcome. Our place was spotlessly clean. Very comfortable and we could relax and unwind. The area is so safe you can go for walks late afternoon and early morning. Great place to stay! Close to all that is going on in Port Alfred. I loved their dog Shandy (Labrador) and just wanted to take her home with me. Such a sweetie! Greta is really a great host and anyone will feel welcome.

Comfortable and relaxing with a nice view of the ocean, perfect for a breakaway.

The owner was very friendly and accommodating towards us.

Fantastic!

It was a fantastic holiday. Greta is a wonderful person. Thank you Greta, we will definitely visit again.

Exceptional location and superb accommodation.

Suite was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. Sitting in lounge and watching the breakers was wonderful. Just a step over the quiet beach road and onto the beach.

Stunning location.

The highlight was a fortunate morning sighting of dolphins from the balcony. Overall loved our stay.

Pragtige plek - wens ek kon langer bly.

Gerieflike, ruim woonstel in 'n veilige area reg langs die see. Baie vriendelike eienaar. Sal graag weer daar gaan bly.

Fantasties! Dit is al wat ons kan sê.

Ek en my eggenote sal enige tyd weer hier kom oorbly. Die gasvrou is so 'n vriendelike, opregte mens. Die eenhede is pragtig skoon en die see-uitsig ongelooflik.

It was nice to stay at Wavecrest Self-Catering.

Wavecrest Self-Catering is at excellent hig standard it is comfortable to stay, I wouldn't mind to come back.

Baie lekker en goeie diens en lekker bly plek, sal net aircon of waaier voorstel in die kamers.

Sien sterre.

Baie lekker gebly.

Gasheer baie vriendelik. Skoon en netjies.

Pragtige plek met die mooiste uitsig.

Baie mooi en gerieflik. Strand op die drumpel. Vriendelike gasvrou.

Mooi uitsig. Lekker rustig.

Vriendelik ontvang. Rustig. Mooi uitsig oor see.

Great stay.

The location is perfect, the apartment was clean and Greta was very friendly and helpful.

Pragtige, rustige atmosfeer.

Vriendelike ontvangs, met hierdie pragtige see-uitsig. Stap net oor die pad en die branders breek sommer hier reg voor jou. Sal aanbeveel dat die boonste verdieping se eenhede eerste bespreek word as jy daar wil vakansie hou, want by die onderstes word die mooi see-uitsig van jou weerhou deur sandbedekte bosse. Van bo af is dit asemrowend! Plek was skoon, eenvoudig en het alles wat jy nodig het. Net een klein problem, as jy klomp vleis wil saamvat, ys ens, gaan jy nie plek hê in die yskas nie en die diepvries is erg klein. Daar is nie fisies ingeboude braaigeriewe nie, so reël voor die tyd of jy gebruik kan maak van die draagbare braai. Die res beveel ek met graagte aan.

Baie lekker.

Baie mooi gastehuis. Eienaar baie vriendelik!

Foto misleidend, sal moet weer moet update.

Al is die strand net oorkant die straat is dit nie 40 m soos geadverteer nie, jy moet omtrent 700-800 m loop om te kyk vir 'n ingang om deur te gaan na die strand, of met die motor hoër op ry om op die strand te kan loop, wat nie maklik is nie. Van die onderste woonstelle kan jy basies net die bokant van die see sien, nie die strand nie want die duine (sandbakke) voor die blyplek is baie hoog. Die boonste woonstel sal jou 'n goeie uitsig gee. Die woonstelle is baie mooi en netjies en baie ruim.

Greta die eienaar is 'n ongelooflike mens wat ons verblyf onvergeetlik gemaak het met die see se golwe wat die ritme aangegee het.

Ons verblyf was onvergeetlik, huislike gevoel met 'n gasvrou soos Greta en haar pragtige honde . Als was skoon, netjies, op standaard en die foto's op die webwerf het presies weerspieël wat ons ontvang het. Ons sal hierdie pragtige sonnige plekkie in die hemel vir enige iemand aanbeveel. Dankie, Greta vir 'n heerlike tuisgaan.

Peaceful.

Enjoy the sea view and dog friends. However would recommend channel 144. The bathroom need extra shelf for toiletries. Good value for money.

Ons het baie lekker gebly.

Baie mooi uitsig en sal die huis graag aanbeveel.

Gerieflike woonstel naby die strand.

Kommunikasie met gasvrou voor aankoms was goed. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en die fasiliteite in die woonstel is aan ons gewys. Die woonstel is gerieflik, en naby die strand - jy stap net oor die staat. Die sentrum van Port Alfred is nie te voet bereikbaar nie - tensy jy 3 km wil stap! Die woonstel is baie vogtig wat aanleiding gee tot muf. 'n Vogabsorbeerder was oop, maar die invloed daarvan het ons eers teen die tweede dag opgemerk. Ongelukkig was die fasiliteite nie so skoon soos ek dit graag sou wou sien nie: van die eetgerei het nog klein kosreste op gehad, die seepbakkie in die stort het seepreste gehad en daar was 'n "hoogwatermerk" in die stortbak. Mens kry die indruk dat die persoon wat skoon gemaak het nie 'n oog vir detail het nie. Niks wat ons egter nie gou kon regstel nie! Daar was nie 'n braaiplek by die woonstel nie, maar ek het ook nie daarvoor gevra nie. Dit word wel onder die fasiliteite as beskikbaar getoon.

Waste of money, as it is totally misrepresented online. The "luxury 5 sleeper" is only a bachelor's unit. The units needs lots of maintenance. The chairs, cutlery, kitchen equipment, outside lights are all broken and dates back to the 80’s. Even the toilet did not flush. Besides this, it feels like staying in someone's backyard ...

Wavecrest is totally misrepresented online. Firstly, this expensive, “luxury” Whale Watch and Divers Den unit is a bachelor’s unit with no separate room and the bed is separated from the fridge by a “divider”. The bathroom is therefore not “en-suite” since it leads from the open area and only equipped with a shower. On arrival, the “en-suite” toilet did not work and it was expected from us to go outside, down very steep and slippery stairs to use a toilet “downstairs”, definitely not suitable for my pregnant wife. Greta indicated that they can only repair the toilet after a week, but since we stayed for 6 days, and after an uncomfortable argument with an arrogant Greta, the toilet was fixed that day (it was even suggested that we leave if we do not want to accept it to use the toilet downstairs). The kitchen must be represented as a “kitchenette” since it is not fully equipped, only has a 2 plate stove/oven, basics such as a sharp knife or mitten cloths are not supplied, the plates and bowls are all cracked already and the bread toaster did not work either (was replaced after 3 days). The unit is definitely not “luxury” as all the furniture and decor dates back to the 80’s (except for the TV and one newly built cupboard). I had to replace the outside lights as they did not work and there is no safe parking as someone tried breaking into my vehicle on day one – since the only parking is in the driveway in front of Greta’s garage (which she uses numerous times per day). There is definitely also not “24 hour security”. This unit is advertised as a “3 adult and 2 children sleeper” unit, but the dining table only has 2 chairs as well as the “living area”, therefore not more than 2 people can ever dine together or sit and relax to look at the sea. The plastic table and chairs on the balcony are also broken. The fact that Greta stays on the property is a nuisance as you will be waken up before 9 am to “put off the outside lights”. This unit is not even equipped with an air conditioner. The 30 cm compact “braaier” will also not enable you to braai for 5 people. There is also not “wifi” as advertised. The fact that the sewerage tank was also full resulted in a sewerage smell throughout the unit. The ONLY positive of Wavecrest is the view of the sea. This unit may be used (at a much cheaper rate) for overnight staying but must definitely NOT be your final destination, as you will be highly disappointed. Unfortunately we will not visit Wavecrest ever again.

Baie aangename tyd, Greta was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik.

Baie goeie waarde vir geld. Luukse verblyf in skoon, veilig, rustige omgewing. Sal beslis mense aanbeveel om van hierdie verblyf gebruik te maak. Mooi uitsig op die see.

Ons was aangenaam verras.

Die strand is regtig net 15 treë weg van die akkommodasie af.

Ontspanne.

Gretna , die eienaar is lieflik.

Awesome!

This was not like work, but more like a vacation. Gretha is the most friendly person, and will definitely go back again.

Fantastiese ligging, pragtige uitsig en gerieflike akkommodasie.

Wavecrest is perfek vir 'n klein gesin met 'n goeie ligging en maklike toegang tot die strand. Greta is baie behulpsaam en gretig om jou tuis te laat voel. Baie dankie vir heerlike verblyf!

Die verblyf was baie aangenaam.

Verblyf was netjies, skoon en ons het lekker gebly. Die personeel was gasvry en het altyd die ekstra myl geloop. Dankie. Verblyf was puik.

Excellent all round.

Enjoyed stay. No problem at all. Prime location near the beach. Room extremely tidy and clean. The owner Greta is very friendly and accommodating.

Great place to stay!

It was a lovely experience to stay at Wavecrest. Greta and Staff are very friendly and we would stay there again anytime.

A wonderful place.

Great place, beautful view, safe, absolutely clean and smart.

Port Alfred is 'n lekker rustige vakansiedorp!

Wavecrest is ideaal geleë, reg teen die strand. Pragtige uitsig.

Heerlik!

Gretha is super friendly! The accommodation is neat and wholly sufficient.

Stap vroeg op die strand af en daarna, sit terug en kyk vir die see.

Sien die sterre hieronder.

Gerieflik en naby die see met 'n seeuitsig.

Ons het heerlik gebly. Die see is net oor die straat. Die badkamer is groot met 'n groot stort. Die eienaar is vriendelik en ons het veilig gevoel.

Fabulous location, comfortable modern accommodation, friendly, helpful owner!

Having never been to Port Alfred before we didn't know what to expect. However we were very pleasantly surprised at the lovely accommodation on offer. The rooms were tastefully furnished with modern décor. The shower bathrooms lovely, tiled and sparkling! Kitchenette adequate tho' a couple of frying pans wouldn't go amiss and possibly a mop!! Beautiful view from the balcony of the sea - in fact the main profile picture is taken from our balcony! Greta Snaith was an absolute angel and so helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back when we fetch our son from Rhodes on his vacations! Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

I'm on this one when they say - first impressions last, it did and it will stay with us ...

It was clean, refreshing and the sea view is awesome. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you once again. We will be doing it again soon!

Superb

Wavecrest is a very nice and cosy place; a home away from away, will definitely stay there again.

Enjoyed taking the dogs for daily walk on the beach!

Really an enjoyable time; great view with beach a few meters away; could forget about the madhouse (work) ...

Baie aangenaam.

Mis vaddoekrelings en spieël.

Verblyf was lekker.

Ek sou wel voorstel dat die matrasse vervang word.

Skoon met 'n goeie uitsig oor die see en naby die see.

Die kombuis se fasiliteite is maar min en die kookgeriewe nie goed genoeg nie. Daai onderste kamer is nie die ekstra geld werd nie. Die diens is maar min, want ons eenheid was glad nie gediens nie en die handdoeke was nie ongeruil nie. Die messe in die kombuis is almal stomp en die oond en tweeplaatstoof is nie vir 'n lang verblyf voldoende nie. Die area is baie "nice" en dis regtig by die see.

Clean,

Neat accommodation, felt the owner was a bit rude.

Goeie waarde vir geld.

Goeie ligging en waarde.

Perfect for purpose.

Will return again should the necessity for accommodation arise.
