Baie aangenaam en rustig in 'n baie mooi gebied.

Woonplek was netjies en veilig. Slaapkamers is bietjie klein en stel voor 'n sleeper couch in voorkamer.

Very pleasant and peaceful in a very beautiful area.

Residence was neat and safe. Bedrooms are a bit small and suggest a sleeper couch in the front room.

Pragtig en welkom gevoel.

Heerlik gebly, maar die woonstel met loft is 'n uitdaging vir lang mense - daar is 'n waarskuwing wat jou attent maak. See uitsig baie besonders. Omgewing pragtig en vriendelik - mense van Kassiesbaai laat jou tuis voel.

Baie koud.

Stel voor dat eienaar vooraf kennis gee van basiese benodighede soos hout, ekstra komberse, toiletpapier, gebottelde water ens. omrede winkels kilometers ver in Bredasdorp is. Slegs 1 toiletrol vir 4 volwassenes vir 2 nagte. Rondlopers het toegang tot perseel. TV remote se batterye werk nie. Heerlike warm stort. Vriendelike inwoners.

Ek het op 10 Julie vir jou 'n kennisgewing per epos gestuur wat jou ingelig het oor alles wat jy moet saambring. Die kennisgewing lys al die items wat jy benodig en verskaf ook my opsigter kontak besonderhede ens. Die kennisgewing is gestuur na die epos adres wat jy verskaf het. Ek is jammer as jy dit nie gesien het nie. Ons woongebied is 'n Erfenis gebied en ons word nie toegelaat om rondom ons wonings aftekamp nie. Ons moet ongelukkig 'n deurgang bied aan ons mede eienaars aangesien ons almal op erf woon. Daar is paaie aangewys en ons mense gebruik dit.

Ons kuier was lekker, maar die warm water was nogals 'n probleem. Die veiligheid van ons motor was ook 'n probleem.

Eerstens, ons motor was nie veilig nie. Daar was dieselfde aand ingebreek by ons bure se motor en die eienaar het nie eens die ordentlikheid gehad om te kom kyk wat aangaan nie. Die diens van die opsigter Patrick was baie puik. Hy het oggendure opgedaag om te kom kyk wat aangaan. Hy is nie die eienaar nie en dis nie sy plig om dit uit te sorteer nie. Nêrens was daar genoem dat ons moet ons motor beveilig van enige inbrake nie, want dis nogals 'n probleem soos ons gehoor het. Tweedens, die warm water was 'n probleem. Daar is een geyser tussen 3 woonstelle. Dis ook onaanvaarbaar. Mens soek darem waarde vir jou geld. Dis winter en wie wil nou in koue water stort. Ek hoop regtig Colette gaan iets aan die saak doen. Ons het vir Patrick ook ingelig van die probleem.

Our visit was nice, but the hot water was quite a problem. The safety of our car was also a problem.

First, our car was not safe. Our neighbors car was broken into the same night and the owner didn't even have the decency to come and see what was going on. The service of the caretaker Patrick was very great. He arrived in the morning hours to come and see what was going on. He is not the owner and it is not his duty to sort it out. Nowhere was it mentioned that we have to secure our car from any break-ins, because that's quite a problem as we've heard. Second, the hot water was a problem. There is one geyser between 3 apartments. That's also unacceptable. At least you are looking for value for your money. It's winter and who wants to take a shower in cold water? I really hope Colette will do something about it. We also informed Patrick about the problem.

Hallo Elvina
Ek woon nie self op Arniston nie, en vind dit onmoontlik om 600 km te ry indien daar 'n krisis is. My opsigters Patrick en Ann is heeltemal in staat om enige krisis te hanteer. Ek was heeltyd met die gaste en polisie in kontak en is steeds. Patrick lig gaste in om enige waardevolle items uit hul motors te verwyder. Ek het die dag voor die inbraak met my gaste gesels oor die saak rondom voertuig inbrake en hulle het steeds gekies om items in hulle bakkie te los nadat ek die gas gewaarsku het daarteen. Verlede week het gaste in ons area vergeet om in die aand die sekuriteitshek en voordeur te sluit en is beroof deur die nag. As hulle dit gesluit het, was daar moontlik nie 'n diefstal nie. Ons het almal 'n verantwoordelikheid om ook te verseker dat ons self ook veilig is soos deure en vensters sluit ens, net soos by ons eie huise.

Not impressed!

1) No hot water. Having arranged many bookings via the website, this was our first experience not having hot water from the hot tap in the unit, for the duration of our stay. It appears one geyser only serves the three units - which were all occupied for the weekend. Our unit is the furthest away from the ex-garage, where the geyser is situated. 2) Preparation of the unit. The bed was seemingly prepared in a hurry, since the bed was not prepared with care. The fitted sheet was loose over the mattress, with a washing peg stuck between the sheets. Only half a roll of toilet paper was supplied. Tea, coffee, braai wood, firelighters were not supplied as advertised. We booked the cottage three weeks in advance.

Hi Noel
There was hot water. Not once during your stay did you mention the water issue to my caretakers who are always available to help. The geyser is large enough to supply hot water to all the units, as we have been doing this for years. We apologise for the washing peg in the bedding, I will discuss the matter with my cleaning lady. We do not offer tea, coffee, braai wood, firelighters or toilet paper etc. That is the reason I sent you a notification via email requesting specifically that these are the things you had to bring that we do not supply. If I can make a suggestion, please make contact when things are not to your satisfaction. In my case, I fix what I can immediately and most of this review would have been eliminated.

Cottage is in the locals part of Arniston, so you get a real feel of the heart of Arniston. People are friendly, and the cottage is a real authentic fisherman's house.

Misleidende ligging van huisie 'n groot teleurstelling.

As gereelde gebruikers van webtuiste se uitstekende diens, was ons ongelukkig vir die eerste keer baie teleurgesteld in verblyf - Arniston Cottage, wat ons vir die naweek gehuur het. Die paar foto's op die app is akkuraat, maar die direkte omgewing rondom die huis spoil daardie prentjie totaal en al. Die direkte omgewing reg langs en om die huis is baie verwaarloos en vuil. Die huis van een van die direkte bure, is baie vuil en verwaarloos buite en skep 'n baie slegte indruk. Daar lê vullis rond en my kinders moes baie versigtig wees vir glasstukke wat oral tussen die sandgrond uitsteek. Ek besef die huisie is in Kassiesbaai geleë, en dat die huis tussen die 'locals' se huise is, en dat van die mense baie swaar kry, maar huurders moet bewus wees waarvoor hulle in is voordat hulle hierdie huis bespreek. Daar was 'n paar honde wat los rondgeloop het (en nie binne 'n heining of muur was nie) en ons was bang hulle byt. Die honde het ons baie gereeld in die nag wakker geblaf, dit was baie steurend. So ook het die bure baie baklei en geraas en 'n bohaai opgeskop buite hulle huis, 'n kind is ook in die openbaar 'n vreeslike pakslae gegee, ek was baie ontsteld oor hoe die arme kind geskree het. In die nag het daar ook dronk mense rondgeloop en 'n geraas gemaak. Ek het nog nooit so iets beleef by enige ander verblyf wat deur webtuiste verhuur word nie. Ons het nie altyd veilig gevoel nie, al was daar diefwering aan die vensters. Die feit dat ons die kar buite moes parkeer (agter die huis) was nie gerusstellend in hierdie tipe omgewing nie, veral nie omdat ons gewaarsku is teen 'petty crime' nie. Ek voel sterk dat foto's van die direkte omgewing 'n aanwins vir die website en app sal wees, sodat mens 'n gevoel kry van die omgewing. Dit help nie dat die presiese plek op 'n kaart aangedui word nie - dit verskaf nie genoeg inligting nie. Die huis binne was gemiddeld, die netheid sal ek 'n 5/10 gee. Sommige van die kaste in die kombuis is in 'n baie slegte toestand en die yskas (buiten die roes) was nie heeltemal skoon nie. Van die geriewe is oud en gebruik. Ek kan nie Arniston Cottage aanbeveel nie, aangesien ons naweek so 'n groot teleurstelling was. In plek daarvan om heeltemal te ontspan, was ons die hele tyd op ons hoede en het ons ongemaklik gevoel met die omgewing, soos hier bo beskryf. Die huis mag dalk 50 m vanaf die see wees, maar dit maak ongelukkig nie op vir alles wat sleg is, soos hier bo genoem, nie. Die foto's geen nie vir mens die regte indruk van die eintlike omvang van die huis binne sy ware omgewing nie - 'n omgewing waar beslis nie almal sal gemaklik voel nie.

Misleading location of cottage a big disappointment.

As regular users of the website's excellent service, we were unfortunately very disappointed for the first time in accommodation - Arniston Cottage, which we rented for the weekend. The few photos on the app are accurate, but the immediate surroundings around the house completely spoil that picture. The immediate environment right next to and around the house is very neglected and dirty. The house of one of the direct neighbors is very dirty and neglected outside and creates a very bad impression. There was rubbish lying around and my children had to be very careful of pieces of glass sticking out everywhere in the sandy soil. I realize that the house is located in Kassies Bay, and that the house is among the 'locals' houses, and that some of the people are having a hard time, but tenants should be aware of what they are getting into before booking this house. There were a few dogs running loose (and not inside a fence or wall) and we were afraid they would bite. The dogs woke us up barking very often in the night, it was very disturbing. Likewise, the neighbors were fighting a lot and making noise and kicking up a fuss outside their house, a child was also given a terrible beating in public, I was very upset at how the poor child screamed. At night there were also drunken people walking around and making a noise. I have never experienced anything like this at any other accommodation that is rented out by the website. We didn't always feel safe, even though there were burglar bars on the windows. The fact that we had to park the car outside (behind the house) was not reassuring in this type of environment, especially since we were warned against 'petty crime'. I strongly feel that photos of the immediate environment will be an asset to the website and app, so that one gets a sense of the environment. It does not help that the exact location is indicated on a map - it does not provide enough information. The house inside was average, the cleanliness I would give a 5/10. Some of the cupboards in the kitchen are in a very bad condition and the fridge (besides the rust) was not completely clean. Some of the facilities are old and used. I cannot recommend Arniston Cottage enough as our weekend was such a huge disappointment. Instead of completely relaxing, we were constantly on guard and uncomfortable with the environment, as described above. The house may be 50 m from the sea, but unfortunately it does not make up for all that is bad, as mentioned above. The photos do not give one the true impression of the true extent of the house within its true surroundings - an environment where certainly not everyone will feel comfortable.

Die visser village is 'n belewenis.

Die huisie self het egter geensins voldoen aan die standaarde wat geadverteer was nie. Daar was geen skoonmaakdiens nie. Geen kaste om jou klere in te pak nie. Meubels word deur genade en 'n bietjie gom aan mekaar gehou. Ruite was so vuil dat jy dit moet oopmaak om na buite te sien. Die boonste vertrek was betrek met houtkewers en ek moes alles in my tasse hou. TV kontroles het nie gewerk nie (wat nie regtig saakgemaak het nie). Maar die mense rondom was fantasties, om die vissersdorpie te beleef, was onbeskryflik. Die huisies is kosbaar mooi.

The fishing village is an experience.

However, the cottage itself by no means met the standards that were advertised. There was no cleaning service. No closets to pack your clothes. Furniture is held together by grace and a little glue. Windows were so dirty you have to open them to see outside. The upper room was infested with wood beetles and I had to keep everything in my suitcases. TV controls didn't work (which didn't really matter). But the people around were fantastic, experiencing the fishing village was indescribable. The houses are preciously beautiful.

Hi Elma, ons adverteer ongedienste selfsorg geriewe. In my bevestiging het ek dit ook aan jou genoem. Ons vensters word gereeld gewas, maar wanneer die Suid-Oos waai is daar niks wat ons kan doen nie. Dit is weer vuil binne 30 minute nadat skoongemaak is. Daar is 'n laaikas vir klere. Ek is jammer dat jy ons plek ongerieflik gevind het. Ons sal probeer verbeter daarop.

Teleurstellend, raserig, onaangenaam.

Ons was opgewonde om bietjie rus en vrede in Arniston te gaan soek. Ons is egter dag en nag gebombardeer met harde musiek, raserige dronk mense wat heel nag kuier en honde wat aanhoudend blaf. My ma wat 'n pensionaris is was by ons en sy het dit glad nie geniet nie. Ons het almal baie min rus gekry agv die geraas. Die opsigter het probeer om die mense stil te maak maar hulle steur hulle nie aan hom nie. Hierdie akkommodasie pas glad nie in by die standaard waaraan ons by webtuiste gewoond is nie. Ek sal dit nie eers vir my grootste vyand aanbeveel nie. Baie teleurstellend.

Disappointing, noisy, unpleasant.

We were excited to find some peace and quiet in Arniston. However, we were bombarded day and night with loud music, noisy drunk people hanging out all night and dogs barking constantly. My mother who is a pensioner was with us and she did not enjoy it at all. We all got very little rest because of the noise. The caretaker tried to silence the people but they paid no attention to him. This accommodation does not fit in at all with the standard that we are used to at the website. I wouldn't even recommend it to my worst enemy. Very disappointing.

Hi Nina
Ek is baie jammer dat jy nie lekker gekuier het nie. Ons het ongelukkig nie beheer oor die mense wat in die huisies rondom ons bespreek nie. Nes hulle, ken ons nie die gaste aan wie ons uitverhuur nie. Ons akkommodasie is op standaard, en moet nie verwar word met die steurnisse wat jy ondervind het in die omgewing rondom ons nie. Ek sal wel 'n punt daarvan maak om my bure te vra om hul gaste se gedrag aan te meld by die webtuistes waar hulle bespreek het, om dit in die toekoms te voorkom.

Die verblyf was goed en in order, die ligging is lekker, maar het nie verwag dat dit in die ou vissersdorp was nie.

Baie lekker gebly, als is daar wat jy benodig, neem net eie handdoeke en hout saam, as jy nie in \n swierige plek wil bly nie, maar als wil hê, is dit 'n baie goeie opsie. Ek het lekker gebly.

Good for the soul.

Getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life for a whole week was such a blessing. The accommodation was basic but met our needs. There were a few inconveniences, i. e. 1 geyser is shared by 3 units so the morning after we arrived we had no hot water as the tenants next door had run the geyser dry. We then had to wait a few hours before being able to shower. There was no iron or cutting board in the unit, although the caretaker, Patrick, had happily offered up his own. The driveway we had to use was a bit worse for wear and could do with some love. Maintenance of the place was on the shallow end, a paint job could go a long way, nevertheless, the unit was very clean and tidy. Although inconvenient for everyday living, the aforementioned could not and did not detract from the wonder which is Arniston. Living amongst the local community, experiencing their daily way of life, being able to fish on your doorstep, meeting the fishermen at the harbour when the boats came in, the breathtaking views and warmth of the people were simply majestic. Can't describe how fantastic the past week has been and the weather was nothing short of amazing considering we're in the heart of winter. Thank you to every hand we touched, every friendly smile, head nod and hello on our drives and walks through the town, and every helping hand, and words of advice and kindness that added to such a wonderful experience. Kassiesbaai is forever etched in our hearts and we'll surely be back!

Hi Hannes
Ek het jou opgradeer na 'n eenheid met 'n binne kaggel en het jou nie enige ekstra fooie gevra nie.
Die afval wat by die seefront gestort word het niks met my akkommodasie te doen. Jy is welkom om dit aan te meld by ons plaaslike munisipaliteit. Ons waarsku ons gaste teen bedelaars en inbrekers, want vorige gaste het al vensters en deure deur die nag oopgelos. Ons glo aan voorsorg is beter as nasorg, want ons gaste se veiligheid is ons grootste prioriteit. Ons het kantgordyne, so is nie seker hoekom jy nie jou gordyne kon oopmaak nie.

Hi Elzette
Ons gaste se veiligheid is ons grootste prioriteit. My opsigters se werk is om ons gaste te waarsku om alle vensters en deure saans te sluit en wanneer hulle uitgaan vir die dag. Ons woon steeds in Suid-Afrika, al is ons dorpie klein en veilig. Julle vensters was 22:00 die nag nog oop, daarom het my opsigter julle herinner om dit toe te maak, sodat julle nie die geleentheid skep vir ongewenste gaste nie. Daar is diefwering, hekkie en veiligheidshek voor die deure.

Besoek aan die grotte was hoogtepunt. Die twee huisresturante se gasvryheid was great. Het soos huis gevoel met kosse van uitstaande gehalte. Ons het vars vis by oom gekoop teen spotgoedkoop prys. Met dit alles sê ek: "Arniston ek kom weer".

Wat 'n wonderlike plek mooi uitsig oor see, rustig al is dit geleë tussen ander mense wat daar woon.

Ons het 'n wonderlike tyd gehad in die Die Waenhuis. Die opsigter was baie behulpsaam gewees, en die plek was baie netjies gewees. Ek sal definitief weer daarna toe kom. Dis rustig, daar is nie te veel te doen vir kinders in Arniston self nie maar wel by nabygeleë plekke en ek sal definitief Arniston aanbeveel vir familie en vriende.

It's peaceful, there isn't too much to do for children in Arniston itself but there are nearby places and I would definitely recommend Arniston to family and friends.

Jaarlikse gesinsvakansie.

Kassiebaai se mense baie vriendelik, maar eenheid kort aandag. Geskeurde kant gordyn, gordyne met kolle. Skuifdeur binne vol vetterige handemerke sowel as TV. Van die banke en kussing oortrekels ruik nie vars en skoon. Beddens se linne was mooi skoon en kombuisie was skoon. Waenhuis eenheid se badkamer bitter klein. Patrick was baie gaaf en behulpsaam. Plek het potensiaal, maar kort aandag. Indien jy hou van privaatheid en stilte is eenhede nie vir jou. Eenhede teen mekaar en met raserige bure op ongure weer dae raak dit nogal sleg. Twee weke gebly, linne op beddens slegs eenkeer vervang. Slegs op die dag beddens weer oorgetrek, glad nie eenheid gediens of selfs braaier skoongemaak. Weet dit is selfsorg, maar voel tog as gaste so lank bespreek, kan 'n klein bietjie meer bedagsaamheid 'n lang pad stap.

Annual family vacation.

Kassie Bay's people are very friendly, but unity needs attention. Torn lace curtain, curtains with spots. Sliding door inside full of greasy hand marks as well as TV. Some of the sofas and cushion covers do not smell fresh and clean. The bed linen was clean and the kitchen was clean. Waenhuis unit's bathroom is very small. Patrick was very nice and helpful. Place has potential but needs attention. If you like privacy and silence, units are not for you. Units against each other and with noisy neighbors on inclement weather days it gets pretty bad. Stayed two weeks, linen on beds only changed once. Beds re-made only on the day, unit not serviced at all or even braai cleaned. Know it's self catering, but still feel if guests are booking for so long, a little more consideration can go a long way.

Interessante veblyfsopsie. Ons was in die Waenhuis tuis.

Ek het die bespreking nogal met huiwering gemaak. Uiteindelik was ek nie ontnugter nie. Jy kry wat vir jou belowe word. Veiligheid was ook nie 'n faktor nie. Geleenheid gehad om Kassiesbaai en sy mense bietjie te beleef, insluitende die klanke van 'n kerkdiens met meevoerende sang en 'n lang vermanende preek die Sondagoggend, in 'n huis reg langsaan.

Interesting accommodation option. We were at home in the Waenhuis.

I made the reservation rather hesitantly. Ultimately, I was not disillusioned. You get what you are promised. Safety was also not a factor. Had the opportunity to experience Kassies Bay and its people a little, including the sounds of a church service with catchy singing and a long admonishing sermon on Sunday morning, in a house right next door.

Teleurstellend.

Die cottage waarin ons gebly het, is nie die een op die foto nie - so, foto is misleidend. Dit sou ook goed gewees het as die exact location van die cottage verskaf kon word - daar was 'n verwagting dat mens dalk nader aan die see sou wees met ietwat van 'n uitsig. Ons het onveilig gevoel in die omgewing. Dit is wel die ideale blyplek vir mense wat graag 'n "local experience" wil beleef - andersins sal ek dit nie aanbeveel nie. Die badkamer is ongemaklik klein en ongerieflik. Dit lyk ook nie of DStv werk nie. Die huis was verder skoon en goed toegerus en Patrick het ons goed ontvang.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Disappointing.

The cottage we stayed in is not the one in the photo - so, photo is misleading. It would also have been good if the exact location of the cottage could have been provided - there was an expectation that one might be closer to the sea with something of a view. We felt unsafe in the area. It is indeed the ideal place to stay for people who would like to have a "local experience" - otherwise I would not recommend it. The bathroom is uncomfortably small and inconvenient. DStv doesn't seem to be working either. The house was also clean and well equipped and Patrick received us well.

Baie lekker, rus vir die siel en 'n goeie wegbreekplek om te ontspan!

My kuier op Arniston was regtig baie tops, my gesin kan nou nog nie uitgepraat raak daaroor. Die nabyheid van die see, stilte plekke as jy wil rustig wees en die skoon lug is vir my baie besonders. Die verblyf en geriewe was meer as wat ek verwag het, wil beslis weer daar kuier.

Netjies en skoon maar heelwat verbeteringe nodig.

Positief: Patrick was uiters behulpsaam. Heerlike warm water in beide bad en stort. Aandag nodig: Lig in badkamer. Wasbak in stort. Matjies voor bed en sitkamer, teëls is yskoud. Onpaar deurmekaar breekgoedversameling in kombuis. Algemene afwerking, bv agterdeur. Ander gastehuise in hierdie prysklas voorsien gewoonlik toiletpapier en handdoeke. Dit is ongerieflik om met 'n nat handdoek huis toe te gaan.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Neat and clean but needs a lot of improvements.

Positive: Patrick was extremely helpful. Delicious hot water in both bath and shower. Attention needed: Light in bathroom. Sink in shower. Mats in front of bed and living room, tiles are ice cold. Odd jumbled collection of crockery in kitchen. General finishing, eg rear door. Other guesthouses in this price range usually provide toilet paper and towels. It is inconvenient to go home with a wet towel.

Môre Estelle
Ons doen elke jaar tydens die winter vakansie verbetering en opknappingswerk. Agv Covid kon ons nie alles doen wat beplan was nie, soos bv die wasbakkie.
Ons plek is selfsorg en nie 'n gastehuis nie, daarom moet ons gaste alles saambring. Ons het nie die geriewe om 15 handdoeke te was nie, daarom die rede hoekom ons gaste dit moet saambring.
Ons huis sê tarief is baie laer as ons kompetisie.

Kassiesbaai is met reg die gesig van Arniston.

Die groter Arniston-dorp is maar soos die meeste ander groot kusdorpe, duidelik baie geld met groot verbeeldinglose huise.

Kassiesbaai is rightfully the face of Arniston.

Ons het die beste van die verblyf gemaak. Kothuis benodig onderhoud.

Ons het die map gevolg op die sms aan ons gestuur en heel aan die ander kant van Arniston geëindig, dus is die ligging verleidelik. Die kothuis het net 2 plugs, so sal dus aanbeveel dat gaste hulle eie lead neem, of kothuis dit aanskaf. Die ligging was steurend met ongenooide gaste wat vir geld kom bedel by die voordeur. Andersins was dit baie rustig en kon ons redelik uit rus.

We made the most of the stay. Cottage needs maintenance.

We followed the map sent to us by text and ended up on the far side of Arniston, so the location is tempting. The cottage only has 2 plugs, so would therefore recommend that guests take their own lead, or the cottage procures it. The location was disturbing with uninvited guests coming to beg for money at the front door. Otherwise, it was very peaceful and we were able to rest quite a bit.

Hi Elize
Sedert ons besigheid begin het, het ons gaste direk gery tot by ons plek. Arniston is so klein, dis amper onmoontlik om te verdwaal. Die ligging is nie verleidelik nie, ons woonstel sê duidelik Kassiesbaai vakansie woonstel. Ons woonstel kort nie onderhoud nie, daar is 3 kragproppe wat meer as genoeg is vir n een slaapkamer woonstel.

Unfinished project.

We booked this property for 20 days. Items such as bathroom light not connected, clothing rails in build in cupboards, bedside table draw collapsed, kitchen door could not close or lock (we had to stay and sleep in an unlocked property), the sliding door needed a service, kitchen sink tap faulty. The owner's response to us was that it will all be attended to in January 2021 when we have departed was unacceptable.

Good day Tamara,
We explained that we tried our level best to finish the light and cupboard rails before your arrival. The lockdown prevented us from finishing the upgrades in time. The kitchen door and tap were in perfect working condition when you arrived and only became faulty 3 days after you checked in. Both were fixed immediately.

Dit was 'n heerlike, onvergeetlike naweek.

Die huis en woonstel was ruim en het vrye toegang gebied vir my man wat in 'n rolstoel was. Die huis makeer hier en daar opknapping o.a. die vensterrame, maar ek het verneem dat dit in die herstelproses is. Die hoofslaapkamer se badkamer sal kan doen met 'n klein wasbakkie en kraan. Andersins het ons lekker gekuier. Sien uit na die volgende besoek!

The house and apartment were spacious and provided free access for my husband who was in a wheelchair.

The master bedroom's bathroom could do with a small sink and faucet. Otherwise we had a great time. Looking forward to the next visit!

Skoon, netjies en loopafstand van Arniston Hotel vir lekker middagetes.

Ons het heerlik uitgerus en gekuier. Die plekkie was skoon, netjies en gerieflik. Enigste kritiek sou wees dat die stort se waterdrukking wanneer die warmwater oopgemaak word, baie sleg is. 'n Mens sukkel ongelukkig om bv. hare te was. Verder, 'n lieflike plekkie vir die twee nagte wat ons verblyf gesoek het.

Clean, tidy and walking distance from Arniston Hotel for fine dining.

We rested and enjoyed ourselves. The place was clean, neat and comfortable. Only criticism would be that the shower's water pressure when the hot water is opened is very bad. One unfortunately struggles to wash hair. Furthermore, a lovely place for the two nights we needed accommodation for.

Cottage needs a little bit of work.

Our stay was very pleasant. The cottage needs some TLC but otherwise very good.

Dit was wow.

Dit is ek plek wat 'n mens vergeet van als en net op die natuur fokus. Dit is 'n goeie ontspanningsplek.

It was wow.

This is a place to forget about everything and just focus on nature. It is a good place to relax.

Teleurgesteld.

Eienaar het 'n kombers by ons gesoek. Sy het dit op die ou einde by die wassery gekry. Nooit gebel om verskoning te vra nie. Area was baie onveilig. Moes hoor hoe 'n groep besope mense vloek en baklei buite die huis.

Disappointed.

Owner was looking for a blanket, she found it at the laundromat in the end. Never called to apologise. Area was very unsafe. Had to listen to a group of drunk people yell and swear outside the house.

Ek vra om verskoning as jy gedink het dat ek jou beskuldig het, ek het net gevra of julle moontlik die kombers saam geneem het, aangesien gaste some dinge inpak wat aan die huis behoort. Ons laaste gesprek was dat ek jou sou kontak indien ek nie reggekom het nie. Arniston is nog een van die min veilige bestemmings in ons land, ook die rede hoekom ons nie hoe mure rondom ons wonings het nie.

Not even any toilet paper!

The area is authentic and full of character. But the noise of neighbours and barking dogs, cobwebs hanging from the ceiling, lumps in the mattress and minimum shops in the area was not comfortable. The harbour was great, the walk to Willeens was great, Wilheens is amazing! The caves are fantastic!

Arniston/Kassiesbaai is amoungst the safest towns in the country. The
Review posted by our guest is not a true reflection of our property, and most definitely not the way we do business. We did however take cognicance of the remarks and will improve where within our means.

Onder gemiddeld vir die prys wat jy betaal.

Ons het nie veilig gevoel tussen die mense wat gedurig kom pla het nie en die beddegoed was werklik nie op standaard nie, dit was nie skoon en vars nie. Honger honde in die straat en ook geblaf in die nag.

Below average for the price you pay.

We did not feel safe among the people who constantly came and bothered and the bedding was really not up to standard, it was not clean and fresh. Hungry dogs in the street and also barking at night.

Beste Kobus,

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer.

In ons opinie, is Arniston een van die veiligste vakansie bestemmings in die land.

Ons huis maak voorsiening vir maksimum 8 mense en is beslis waarde vir geld indien selfs 6 of meer gaste bespreek.Ons fasiliteite word klokslag na gaste se vertrek deur ons hardwerkende personeel opgeruim en alle linne word onmiddellik gewas. Ons neem egter kennis van jou skrewe en hoop dat ons kan verbeter met u volgende besoek.

Ons het lekker in 'n regte ou vissershuis gebly tussen die "locals" van Kassiesbaai.

Waarde vir geld. As mens in 'n regte ou vissershuis wil bly, tussen die locals, is Arnisron cottage die plek daarvoor. Definitief 'n unieke ervaring. Arniston is 'n juweel wat nog weggesteek is met pragtige strande wat ongerep is. Sal definitief teruggaan soontoe.

We had a nice stay in a real old fisherman's house among the "locals" of Kassiesbaai.

Value for money. If you want to stay in a real old fisherman's house, among the locals, Arnisron cottage is the place for it. Definitely a unique experience. Arniston is a hidden gem with beautiful unspoiled beaches. Will definitely go back there.
