Jacobsbaai is perfek vir 'n rustige naweek teen die Weskus.

Onvergeetlik.

Dit was ons eerste keer aan die Weskus en dit was 'n wonderlike ervaring. Ons verblyf was perfek en alhoewel die huis nie teen die see was nie, was dit net 'n kort stappie weg. Ons sal vir seker weer kom kuier.

Unforgettable.

It was our first time on the West Coast and it was a great experience. Our stay was perfect and although the house was not on the sea it was only a short walk away. We will definitely visit again.

Heerlik vir kuier.

Ons was net grootmense en die uitleg met kuier-areas was perfek, asook die twee braaiplek-opsies en TV apart van die hoofkuierarea.

Great for visiting.

We were just adults and the layout with hanging out areas was perfect, as well as the two braai place options and TV separate from the main hanging out area.

Veilig, goeie omgewing, rustig, skoon, ruim, stilte.

Vir seker aanbeveelbaar. Ideale ligging as jy die Weskus wil verken. Kalm, veilig en skoon. Sonder om ver te ry sal jy alles vind om die hele gesin te vermaak. Veldfietse ideaal. Genoeg roetes om te ry, draf en te stap. Goeie kamera 'n moet. Bly weg met drones. Karen, Lientjie en Chris het geweldig moeite gedoen om te verseker dat alles reg loop en was altyd beskikbaar. Geen onnodige interaksie. Niemand wat pla nie. 'n Ruim gemaklike huis. Hierdie bestemming word beslis gebêre vir die toekoms.

Safe, good environment, peaceful, clean, spacious, quiet.

Definitely recommendable. Ideal location if you want to explore the West Coast. Calm, safe and clean. Without driving far you will find everything to entertain the whole family. Mountain bikes ideal. Enough routes to drive, jog and walk. Good camera a must. Stay away from drones. Karen, Lientjie and Chris made an enormous effort to ensure that everything ran smoothly and were always available. No unnecessary interaction. No one bothers. A spacious comfortable home. This destination is definitely saved for the future.

The house is haunted, the TV is an antique, the entertainment area was a mission to get to, most unpleasant and there should be a modern, updated TV in the kitchen/lounge area.

It was not a full DStv package and had to phone back and forth to have this resolved.

Whimseagull 's response

Hi Michelle, I am sorry that your experience was not good, we strive that people enjoy the time at the house. I can assure you that the house is not haunted, else we would need to increase our price for this added facility!
Regarding the old TV, we have replaced it with a 55 inch smart TV and installed free, uncapped Wi-Fi. The DStv is now available on the app to avoid the connection problems that you experienced.
We can't do much about the staircase inside - it is part of the "quaint" feel of a West Coast house. We have also chosen to have only one TV at the house, as most guests find this more than adequate.
Thanks for the feedback. We have reacted on it and hopefully future guests will get the benefit of the suggestions.

Ruim, netjies en gerieflike huis.

Die foto's doen nie die plek "justice" nie. Ruim, netjiese huis met al die geriewe wat jy nodig het. Gemaklike beddens, groot ruim kombuis, lekker leefarea bo en onder. Oom Cassie wie ons ontvang het is ook 'n opsomming van Weskusvriendelikheid.

Pragtige huis, goed ingerig en gerieflik.

Ons het die huis perfek gevind vir ons groep van 5 volwassenes en 3 slaapkamers. Genoeg badkamergeriewe as gevolg van die gastetoilet. Kombuis en leefarea ruim en goed toegerus. Baie skoon, pragtige huis! Werklik die moeite- en geld werd gewees.
