Met my expectation.

It is definitely home away from home. I wish it was right at the beach; it is not far though, only 1.6 km from the beach. I would have loved to have the sea view from the house. Besides that, the cottage is so perfect.

Very frustrating holiday stay.

Broken garden chairs. Loose toilet seats. Sliding door lock faulty. Insufficient towels. Continuous building work on south neighbour's premises from 6am to 10pm including weekends and public holidays. Incessant 3 barking dogs through the night and early hours of the morning waking us all up.

Couta Cottage 's response

Good day,
Due to back-to-back bookings, we were unaware of the broken chairs but replaced them on the first day of their stay and the same with the towels.
We will repair and attend to the toilet seats and locks.
Unfortunately, all other complaints were out of our control, we tried our very best to prevent the construction noise, but by law, we had no control over it.
We did find this client very trying. They did not stick to the original check-in times even after we assisted them with an earlier check-in. They arrived before the other guests had left.

Couta Cottage was ideaal vir ons wegbreek.

Couta Cottage was nie net baie stylvolle verblyf nie, maar was gemaklik (beddens was ongelooflik gemakilk), genoeg badkamers, skoon en het alles wat 'n mens so kon nodig hê en nog meer. Daar was 'n speelgoed boks wat ideaal was vir my 3 jarige, en 'n lekker groot tuin vir ons 3 hondjies wat kon saam gaan. Die strand is naby genoeg om al die kinders en honde in die kar te laai en te gaan baljaar. Winkels en eetplekke was ook lekker naby! Ons het dit baie vreeslik geniet!

Couta Cottage was ideal for our getaway.

Couta Cottage was not only very stylish accommodation, but was comfortable (beds were incredibly comfortable), enough bathrooms, clean and had everything one could possibly need and more. There was a toy box which was ideal for my 3 year old, and a nice big garden for our 3 dogs who could go together. The beach is close enough to load all the children and dogs in the car and go frolicking. Shops and places to eat were also nice and close! We enjoyed it very much!

The house is perfect, classy and elegant. It fitted my status, because my business's slogan is "We travel in class ". So indeed we travelled in class. Thank you so much, I can't wait for my next stay in September. Hopefully I'll get a first preference when booking.

Best place I have been at in a while.

This is exactly what I want and expect when I make abooking on the website. Couta Cottage felt like a home and everyone enjoyed their stay. I would go back anytime if I can get this pace again. Everything was just so delightful and I felt at home. The best value for your money, this place is just perfect for a family. I can't recommend this place enough. Couta Cottage is fully equipped with everything that you may need.

Great atmosphere and beautiful decor.

Couta Cottage felt like a home away from home, perfect artistic rooms and bathrooms. The house was comfortably cooled with aircons in each area, the wide opening doors to deck gave such a welcoming view and acoustics of the ocean in sight. Cleaning service was impeccable. Roughly 2 minute drive to the nearest beaches, lovely restaurants and other shops that would service any need at the spur of the moment. Pet friendly which was a great added option for small pets. We as well as our kids loved the place and will be back again!

Jy gaan behoorlik, lekker vakansie hou.

Baie dankie aan Annel en haar man vir die vriendelike gasvryheid. Dit was so gerieflik. Baie naby aan die strand en restaurante. Ons het ons hondekinders saamgeneem en dit was rerig lekker vir hulle en baie gemaklik. Daar is 'n buitestort so ons het die meeste van die sand sommer daar afgewas voor ons in die huis ingegaan het. Die huis is werklik ongelooflik mooi en as jy hou van unieke goed dan sal jy mal wees oor die plekkie. Ons sal definitief teruggaan.

You are going to have a proper, nice vacation.

Many thanks to Annel and her husband for the kind hospitality. It was so convenient. Very close to the beach and restaurants. We took our dog children with us and it was really nice for them and very comfortable. There is an outside shower so we washed off most of the sand right there before we went into the house. The house is truly incredibly beautiful and if you like unique things then you will love the place. We will definitely go back.

Pragtig!

Pragtige netjiese plek net te ver van die strand af en as dit reën kan mens nie op die stoep braai nie want daar is nie 'n dak nie.

Beautiful neat place just too far from the beach and if it rains you can't barbecue on the stoep because there is no roof.

Baie netjies en mooi plek.

Baie mooi huis. Enigste klagte is dat daar nie heeltemal mooi skoongemaak is nadat vir vorige mense daar was nie. Daar was 'n gebruikte sepie by die wasbak in die badkamer en die asblik in die badkamer en buite by die braai was nie uitgegooi nie. Onder die kaste was ook baie lanklaas skoongemaak. Verder was die plek baie mooi en netjies. Sal vir seker die plek aanbeveel.

Very neat and beautiful place.

Very nice house. Only complaint is that it wasn't cleaned up properly after previous people were there. There was a used bar of soap by the sink in the bathroom and the trash in the bathroom and outside by the braai was not emptied. Under the cupboards had also not been cleaned for a long time. Furthermore, the place was very nice and tidy. Would recommend the place for sure.
