    At some stage, the bed in the room that we were in will need to replaced as the springs in the mattress are not good. The kettle in the kitchenette is leaking. The hot water tap in the kitchenette wasn't working properly. These things did not impact our superb holiday in any way, just noting these minor things.

    Cindy was an exceptional hostess. So warm and friendly. The location was beautiful and the house was stunning.

    Honestly there's nothing not to like 😁 It's a shared villa so best to check with the host if you planning on going there just in case there's other families already booked in....

    We liked the friendly and warm welcome by Cindy ... We had the entire Villa to ourselves it was safe and peaceful... it's a pet friendly villa ... the whale watching in the morning is so lovely. It's perfect for a big family....

    I had an incredible stay with Cindy as the host! From the moment I arrived, she was welcoming and attentive, ensuring every detail was perfect. Cindy's hospitality truly made the experience special, and the accommodation was comfortable and well-maintained. I highly recommend staying at any place Cindy hosts – her warmth and care are unmatched!

    On the website, it looks like the beach is just a few meters away, but it's not in reality

    I loved the location and the sea view. It's a real paradise. The sound of the waves at night and the sunrise cannot leave my mind. Cindy was so good to us, checking on us and helping us with places to go to.

    The parking is a little difficult due to small space and sharp decline. Due to loadshedding the swimming pool was not quite clean and all electrical appliances (lights, fridges and fans in communal areas) that were switched on, went on and off continuously for the duration of the loadshedding periods. The bathroom and toilet of my upgraded room were not ensuite and I struggled to unlock the gate to the beach area.

    The location and ocean views are exceptional. Kaylee was very friendly and upgraded me to a larger room and was also willing to accommodate a special breakfast request. The beach at Trafalgar is nice for swimming and long walks. Safe and secure environment.

    Alone in jacuzzi is only half of the fun you could get.

    Caylee is a darling. It seems she knew in advance what to do when a lamp was broken, the loadsheding nerves some guests. A freshly prepared fruit bowl, warm chocolate muffins was the real or active mercy behind the curtains 😋

    The pool was not working however the lady made an exception and substituted with the jacuzzi which was very nice.

    The service was exceptional, the lady was very welcoming and friendly. Honestly loved everything about the place, truly a home away from home.

    There is no TV available unless you carry your smart box or hard drive. The TV is in a communal area. The bathrooms are shared between the rooms, no private ensuite. No TV in room, wifi signal is very poor only works in certain areas of the house.

    The host was amazing. Polite, friendly and helpful

    Didn't realise it was communal. It's a big place. We luckily had it to ourselves 2 out of 3 nights. Will check carefully in future to avoid communal self catering venus. Magazine rack directly behind loo, not a good idea!

    Good location and sea view. Helpful, pleasant staff.
