    The directions on Google take you to a different location. The main gate has to be manually operated.

    The unit was cosy and neat. Great views.

    After numerous attempts of requesting WiFi password it was not given to us. Also the gate was locked at 23:00, I feel each guest must their own key for access to the property.

    Sea view was amazing

    The gate is a problem, we could not open lock 🔓, if it happens you manage to open it, you won't be able to lock it until you call the staff.

    The location and the view to the sea is amazing.

    Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10/10) Our stay at No3 Crows Nest was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly and professional staff, setting the tone for a fantastic experience. The apartment was spotless, well-maintained, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. My husband and I, along with another couple, thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The hospitality extended to us was exceptional, and the seamless check-in and check-out process made our stay even more pleasant. Our only regret is that we didn’t have more days to enjoy this wonderful place! We highly recommend No3 Crows Nest to anyone looking for a top-tier stay and will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

    The pictures on the internet were like maybe from 10 yrs ago - the entrance to the place is behind shoprite -then you come to a very creepy icky gate and back entrance of the place , you have to open the main gate mainly and the area isn't safe or appealing in the least bit. Gravel road in the most horrible parking bay - door knob broken as soon as you enter , the place has a nasty old fart smell , all draws had this smell as well. The bathroom in the main bedroom had a leak in the roof , the main TV didn't work this wasn't disclosed when I was speaking to the host , bedding old , beds smelly , the balcony had full poop of monkeys , this was catfish in the flesh I wouldn't use booking .com again and believe the fake review

    The gate, needs some improvement for safety reasons like using Remote.

    All the house facilities were in the House even during the rainy day, we were able to wash and dry our clothes.

    Upgrade the entrance gate.a remote controlled gate is advisable.with the current gate tenants can be mugged and hijacked at the gate.its very risky and scary especially during the night.

    Spacious and family friendly accommodation
