It was too expensive.
Driftsands Sea View Flats 's response
Thank you for reviewing your stay with us. The cupboards are worn, but nothing mentioned about being broken. The shower was repaired within hours of you reporting it to us. The owner is aware of the fridge, and will be replacing it. There is a Wi-Fi hotspot around the office, and this was communicated in our correspondence to you. None of our other guests have complained about the unit being over priced.

Thank you for reviewing your stay at Driftsands. To clarify a point, the electrician did come and look at your unit, and a number of other units that had a similar problems of the earth leakage tripping. There was nothing wrong. The conclusion was that there had been an earth leakage problem with the 3 phase power supply from Eskom, or excessive humidity. The problem has never occurred since.

We were a family with a young daughter who wanted to relax, lots of noise and rules were not applied to other holidaymakers.
Accommodation was very nice and very tidy, just feel the rules should have been passed on to other guests. When we did lodge a complaint about it, we were told that we have to deal with the fact that this is the new South Africa and that they cannot do anything about it. Vacation was cut short and our money for the other days was refunded.

Good morning,
We apologized at the time and again now.
We are here to ensure the enjoyment of all our guests.
If something distasteful is brought to our attention, we are obliged to do something about it.
Derogatory comments were witness about two guests that were heard by all.
It made everybody uncomfortable.
Sorry, it upset your stay.

The apartment is advertised as "sleeping 6". It's not going to work. We were 4 ladies and there is one small bathroom with 1 toilet and a sink. You walk through the one room to get into the apartment, it is cramped and the braai area is not comfortable either.

Before you arrived, we had sent you 4 emails which contained a full description of the unit as well as a link to our website page for that unit. The link would also have shown the layout of the unit. We have never had complaints about the size of the units, all 18 of the same size, for 6 people.
We have also never had a complaint about the 10 communal braai areas.

My feedback (UNIT 107): * Very conveniently located near restaurants, Spar, petrol station and pharmacy. * It's right next to the rocks and you can watch people fishing. * It is conveniently on the Uvongo beach. * Very neat and modern inside (Fells like holiday and feel at home) * Had a wonderful view of the ocean that allowed us to see whales and ships even with the stormy ocean. * Overseers were extremely friendly and made us feel very special. * Will not choose a different place to relax at, unless they are fully booked (like in December).

It was a lovely peaceful week, we had a beautiful view and the office staff are very friendly and helpful.
The whole week was wonderful, we stayed calm and enjoyed a particularly beautiful sea view. The beach and shops are very close and within walking distance which makes it very convenient. There were a few things that I would have preferred differently but they were not major problems that could make the holiday bad, for example the fact that you walk out onto the balcony through the master bedroom was sometimes disturbing because you don't have privacy when you are in a group vacation, because everyone has to go through it. The pool's barbecue area has a tree that has flowers that fall into your barbecue, it was a bit disturbing and we had to keep our food from getting full of leaves. There were probably other braai areas too but the pool is always nicer. Overall it was really lovely and I would go on holiday there again anytime.
