    This accommodation was the worst place Ive ever stayed at. Most of the amenities listed on the website were not availabe. The pics posted on the site are from 10 or more years ago. The house was falling apart. Door handles were falling off. The shower in the main bedroom did not work. The taps in the upstairs bathroom were broken. The toilets were leaking. The fridges were broken ( tbe care taker had to lend us his tiny fridge). There was no stove only a tiny cheap hot plate. The kitchen cupboards were dirty and falling apart. The sofas were old, dirty and had holes which were covered up with cheap pink throw bankets. The braai facilities were unavailable. Niether was there a play area for the kids or a aircon as promised. We were limited to the amount of electricity were could use and had to turn the heater off. The beds were old and uncomfortable with the oldest most uncomfortable pillows. The bunk beds smelled of urine the toilets smelled of urine. The only thing that worked was the kettle and microwave. The dishwasher and washing machine were also old and non functional. They did not even have the decency to provide a single roll of toilet paper. The outside deck seemed unsafe for kids. The place needs a thorough cleaning I dont understand how a place like this could be allowed to be on booking.com. People book this place expecting a home away from home and more. yet when they get there the place is awful and worse, no appliances work. Everything is falling apart and they still ask for a breakage deposit. When everything is broken anyway! Owner- DO BETTER AND STOP LYING ABOUT YOUR AMENITIES AND THE STATE OF YOUR PROPERTY. People should know what they are getting.

    The area was nice and quiet. The caretaker was helpful and friendly.

    The place needs a back-up system during loadshedding. Its very scary to be in the dark in the place you are not familiar with.

    The environment was satisfactory although the neighbours were rude. The structure is good on the outside but the building needs some TLC. Most of the items were broken and not in good condiction. The house needs ventilation and to be cleaned. New furniture and bedding is required to improve the place.

    it would be better if they can buy new pots, pan, make sure they have enough glasses, dessert dishes. also i didn't like that we were given 2 towels for a group of 12 people, that was soo unhygienic. some linen had stains. bed no.12 wasn't prepared we had to wait for the linen for hours. also bed no. 12 can be added to that single banker make it double. ladies who slept in that room they had problem when they want to go to the loo because there was no space for them to walk. please don't forget to add everything you mentioned to find in the house.

    the place was nice quite, walkable distance to the beach and shops, safe easy to get the location.

    They can upgrade the appliance for comfort in this warm weather we need a proper working refrigerator a working stove and washing machine. They should use proper cleaning products make the place smell fresh and inviting.

    The property has a terrible smell, there was little to no cutlery no glasses, no breakfast bowls the stove, refrigerator and dishwasher was not working. There is no washing machine to wash your wet clothes this is very poor for accommodation near to the beach. We could not braai no equipment for that.

    The house is old, some of the furniture, shower taps and doors are broken. The stove is not working and given pointed to an old 2 plate stove which also had 1 working side. The fridge stopped working while packed with our meat and food, the staff had had to make plan.

    I liked the part were we git there and Vusi was waiting for us and welcomed us.

    Unfortunately, the owner was not available when we called upon arrival. The housekeeper was also unavailable. We had to call the security company, then waited 45 minutes for someone to hand us the keys. The kitchen was not well stocked for a self-catering facility. The appliances and crockery did not accommodate for basic cooking and braaing.

    I enjoyed the value for money provided. The housekeeper was also very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was comfortable and clean.
