Sal met volgende bespreking na resensies kyk.

Die buitekamer, slaapkamer 4 met dubbelbed/bank se matras was so dun en die kamer was vol muskiete. Die huis was vol spinnekoppe.

Will check reviews on next booking.

The outside room, bedroom 4 with double bed/sofa's mattress was so thin and the room was full of mosquitoes. The house was full of spiders.

Anchor Drift 's response

Sorry about the thin mattress in the outside room. It's the first complaint we have had about that. We will look into upgrading them.
As far as mosquitoes are concerned, there were definitely a lot of mosquitoes around St Francis in general over that time, but we will however leave a spray for future use if needed.
Anyone booking into Anchor Drift knows that it has a thatch roof and is very much part of the ambiance of St Francis Bay. With thatch, one does encounter some spiders, etc.
Thank you for your feedback.

Very relaxing weekend in beautiful surroundings.

The house is very cozy and comfortable. Superb facilities. Home away from home. Will definitely visit again. Thanks to Richard our host, who was very attentive.

Very nice stay - we would, however, suggest the below.

Needs braai tongs. Braai area needs a proper light and the sand around the braai is unpleasant. Maybe a few of those pebbles would help with the sand situation. Need steak knives - cutlery not in good condition and no decent knives. Maybe also an additional shower in the bath at the top bathroom.

Amazing hosts, superb location, sparkling clean. 5 stars from me.

Richard, our host, and his daughter Louise were extremely easy to communicate with. Louise was waiting fir us to open up and show us around. The house is very spacious with everything we needed to have a wonderful weekend away. The garden was fenced, which gave the kids and our dog plenty of safe, outdoor space. We had a lovely stay and I would highly recommend Anchor Drift to anybody who wanted to have a relaxing holiday in St Francis Bay.

It was just a place were we slept.

We were received by a very friendly owner Richard. We basically only slept at the house, as we spent our days & evenings in the company of my Canadian relatives that rented a house on the canals.

Rustige, ontspannende omgewing om 'n wegbreek te geniet.

Netjiese en skoon verblyf met al die geriewe vir selfsorg. Baie rustige area, naby winkels en strand.

That was a weekend we're definitely going to repeat at this awesome place.

It was amazing at Anchor Drift. Peaceful and the owners were awesome. The kids really enjoyed the big yard.

Ons was gelukkig met ligging van die huis. Naby die gholfbane.

Dit was selfs beter as op die foto's!

Die dorp en die huis het ons beïndruk! Dit is baie lekker om 'n huis by die see te hê waar daar 'n grensmuur is wat die kinders veilig hou teen die karre. Ons het lekker gebraai saam met die res van ons familie (ons was omtrent 20 mense) en dit het steeds nie klein gevoel nie. Ek het ook 'n rekenaar daar vergeet en die gasvrou het my baie mooi gehelp om dit ook terug te kry. Ek sal Anchor Drift graag vir ander aanbeveel.

It was even better than in the pictures!

The town and the house impressed us! It is very nice to have a house by the sea where there is a boundary wall that keeps the children safe from the cars. We had a great barbecue with the rest of our family (we were about 20 people) and it still didn't feel small. I also forgot a computer there and the hostess helped me very nicely to get it back as well. I would happily recommend Anchor Drift to others.

5 Stars for Anchor Drift.

We had a lovely stay at Anchor Drift. The owners were lovely, and they informed us of the load shedding schedule upon our arrival, which we did not think about due to our travelling. Everything we needed, was there, it felt like home. It truly was an amazing stay.

Heerlik gebly en gekuier. Pragtige plek, goed geleë.

Baie lekker gebly saam met vriende, lieflike, ruim huis. Die gasvrou is baie vriendelik en gasvry en het gesorg dat ons 'n heerlike, ontspanne naweek het.

'n Netjiese waarde-vir-geld betemming.

Ons is baie vriendelik deur die gasvrou ontvang en alles rakende die huis is aan ons verduidelik. Die akkommodasie het aan ons verwagtinge voldoen en elkeen het sy eie kamer gehad. Al kritiek wat ons gehad het is dat die braaiplek nie goed verlig is nie. Ons het baie lekker gebly en beveel Anchor Drift met groot vrymoedigheid.

A neat value-for-money destination.

We were received very kindly by the hostess and everything about the house was explained to us. The accommodation met our expectations and everyone had their own room. All criticism we have had is that the barbecue area is not well lit. We had a great stay and recommend Anchor Drift with great confidence.

Hi Piet,

I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at our lodge, and appreciate the feedback on the lighting around braai area. We will trim a branch or two of that big tree by the braai, so that the spotlight shines through better. Happy golfing.

Kind regards,
Marianna
