Onbeskryflik mooi en baie gerieflik.

Ons het baie lekker gebly en sal beslis weer teruggaan. Die uitsig oor die see is onbeskryflik mooi en ons het baie walvisse gesien. Die plekkie is volledig ingerig met alles wat nodig is en daar is genoeg spasie. Die eienaar is baie vriendelik en het ons ingelig van alles om te sien en te doen in Gansbaai en omliggende areas. Wat wel steurend was, was die honde wat onophoudelik blaf wanneer die eienaars die perseel verlaat totdat hulle weer terugkom, maar afgesien van dit kan ek die plekkie met groot vrymoedigheid aanbeveel.

Indescribably beautiful and very comfortable.

We had a great stay and will definitely go back again. The view over the sea is indescribably beautiful and we saw many whales. The place is fully furnished with everything you need and there is enough space. The owner is very friendly and informed us of everything to see and do in Gansbaai and surrounding areas. What was disturbing were the dogs that barked incessantly when the owners left the premises until they returned, but apart from that I can recommend the place with great confidence.

Die uitsig is asemrowend, die mense is opregte, vriendelike en trotse Suid-Afrikaners. Ons is dankbaar vir al die kennis en prag van die omgewing wat Andre en Judith met ons gedeel het. Ons het sommer dadelik tuis gevoel in die skoon en smaakvolle woonstel.

Ons het slegs 1 aand oorgebly. Vriendelik ontvang deur eienaar wie 'n deeglike kennis van die omgewing het.

Baie veilig en rustige blyplek. Trappe nogal 'n uitdaging vir ouer persone, asook as jy redelik bagasie het. Die eenheid is netjies en goed toegerus. Gansbaai en omliggende strandgebiede is pragtig, wens ons het meer tyd gehad om meer van die omgewing te sien.

Uitstekende ligging, asemrowende uitsig, lekker vakansieverblyf.

Verblyf in dié selfsorgwoonstel voel soos 'n tuiskoms. Die eienaars, Andre en Judith, is warm en gasvry en het my onmiddellik welkom laat voel. Die woonstel het 'n uitstekende ligging en mooi uitsig oor die see. 'n Veilige baaiplek is binne loopafstand en dis omring deur pragtige natuurskoon. Die woonstel is netjies, gerieflik en goed toegerus. Daar's vele mooi vakansiebestemmings naby wat verken kan word.

Vriendelik, skoon en gemaklik.

Ons gewone akkommodasie was onbeskikbaar. Whale of a Time was die alternatief. Die plek is perfek vir 2 persone, dit is 'n ruim oopplan-kamer, -sitkamer, en -kombuis. Glad nie beknop nie. Die badkamer is apart en daar is 'n lekker groot stoep met 'n ketelbraai en gedeeltelike see-uitsig. Ons sal weer daar oorbly.

Ons het baie lekker gebly.

Ek sal net voorstel dat besoekers gewaarsku word dat die wooneenheid se trap baie baie styl en gevaarlik is. Die eienaar was self nie bereid om daarop te klim nie. Vir jongmense is dit sekerlik geen probleem nie, maar vir ouer mense is dit vir seker, veral wanneer al jou bagasie boontoe en weer ondertoe gedra moet word.

I would only suggest that visitors be warned that the unit's staircase is very very steep and dangerous. The owner himself was not willing to get on it. For young people this is certainly no problem, but for older people it is for sure, especially when all your luggage has to be carried up and down again.

Ons was baie vriendelik en gasvry ontvang. Ideale verblyf vir 1 of 2 aande.

Ons het lekker gekuier en gevoel ons is heeltemal op ons eie.

Die beste gasvryheid van die eienaars. Die plekkie is baie netjies en ten volle toegerus.

Dit is so rustig om net te kan ontspan. Die eienaars voel soos ou vriende en die troeteldiere skep 'n atmosfeer van 'n huis weg van die huis af. Die uitsig is ongelooflik en mens kan amper die hele dag net op die dek sit. Baie goeie WiFi-ontvangs. Veilige parkering.

The best hospitality from the owners. The place is very neat and fully equipped.

It's so peaceful to just relax. The owners feel like old friends and the pets create an atmosphere of a home away from home. The view is incredible and you can almost sit on the deck all day. Very good WiFi reception. Secure parking.

Dit was absoluut fantasties. Dit was so rustig en die gasvryheid was so verfrissend.

Met ons aankoms het Andre Voster wat die gasheer is ons baie hartlik verwelkom. Ons het komplimentêre koffie en beskuit gekry wat heerlik was. Die blyplek was skoon en netjies en die rustige gevoel het sommer net oor 'n mens gekom.

Fantastiese 180°-see-uitsig.

Gerieflike toegeruste blyplek met 'n fantastiese see-uitsig. Baie vriendelike en hulpvaardige eienaars wat ons baie tuis laat voel het. Dit is die ideale plek tydens walvisseisoen. Ons sal die plek beslis aanbeveel.

Overall stay was okay.

Very nice accommodation, people were very friendly. Stayed until a Monday, was a bit noisy in the morning as the dogs were barking and someone was sounded like working in the garden. The rest was peaceful. Oven did not work, could not bake anything. Alarm was a bit of a pain being put on before we went to bed. Went off while we were getting something out the car.

Hallo Susan,

1. Oond werk.
2. Alarm is vir beskerming.

Beeldskoon, mooi en kalm.

Die uitsig was asemrowend. Ons het werklik ontspan en die verblyf was baie mooi en netjies. Die lekkerste was om elke oggend daai gordyne oop te maak en die pragtige uitsig te kon beleef. Ons het dadelik welkom gevoel. Ons sal definitief weer daar gaan bly in die toekoms.
