The stay was pleasant overall. Improvements could enhance guest satisfaction.

It was a pleasant stay. The overall experience was enjoyable. One of the plugs in the kitchen was not working. There was no scourer to wash with. Only two dishwashing tablets were provided for our 4-day stay. There was no braai wood or wood when we arrived for the first braai or for an indoor fire in winter. There were no basics, e.g., salt, coffee, tea. Basic pantry items are usually expected in rental accommodations, even if it's a self-catering setup. I don't expect a full pantry, but a welcome package would be great.

An amazing place to relax and enjoy the beautiful beach of Paternoster.

The house is spacious and the perfect spot for a big family. I will definitely go back.

Absolutely spectacular location. The house was superb. Very comfortable, and every finishing touch you need for a wonderful stay.

The floor was dirty and no broom, but other than that small thing, we were very happy with the house, the service, and most especially the location.

Absolute wonderlike ervaring in Paternoster.

Ligging fantasties. Kinders speel op strand en jy kan hul dophou van stoep. Lekker troeteldier vriendelik. Al wat 'n bietjie gepla het, is dat jy die mense op die 1ste verdieping kan hoor loop.

Absolutely wonderful experience in Paternoster.

Location fantastic. Children play on the beach and you can watch them from the porch. Nice pet friendly. All that bothered a bit is that you can hear the people walking on the 1st floor.

Relaxing, peaceful stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Driftwood in Paternoster. The house is clean, spacious and provides all necessities. Beautiful open-plan kitchen and dinning area which overlooks the ocean waves. Each room in tip top shape which made resting a breeze! I would recommend the upstairs area for kids. One thing I will request is definitely more serving bowls, dishes and pots. We were a family of 8 so food servings were a lot for the amount of available pots and serving dishes we could use. We ended up washing out pots to reuse for a different dish.

N Lieflike huis in perfekte ligging. Asemrowende uitsig reg voor op die strand. Ook stapafstand na alle restaurante en winkels. Sal Driftwood defnitief aanbeveel.

Alles in huis was perfek sal net voorstel dat gaste ingelig word dat daar gebou word langsaan. Bouery begin net na 7 en eindig eers teen 5.30 so as mens bietjie wou inle was dit redelik steurend.

A lovely house in a perfect location. Breathtaking view right in front of the beach. Also walking distance to all restaurants and shops. Would definitely recommend Driftwood.

Everything in the house was perfect would only suggest that guests be informed that there is construction next door. Construction starts just after 7 and doesn't end until 5.30 so if you wanted to enter a bit it was quite disturbing.

Ons het baie lekker gebly.

Die huis het baie lekker geleef. Ons was beïndruk dat dit 2 aparte DStv-dekodeerders gehad het. Ek sou graag my voertuig in die motorhuis wou sit. Hoekom was garage gesluit?

Ongelooflik.

Skilderagtig mooi. Ontspanne atmosfeer. Netjies, skoon, ruim, prakties, pragtige binnenshuise versiering en 'n heerlike leefatmosfeer. Kyk na die dolfyne, walvisse, voëls en die ewige pragtige blou-blou see. Stay at Paternoster personeel hulpvaardig. Lokale inwoners vriendelik en gaaf.

Was nice.

Beds definitely need replacing , towels also. Was enjoyable and location superb just very costly seeing it was very hot no aircon no fans and you cannot sleep with windows open because of opperrtunistic crime. We had no floor mats by baths and shower's floors can get slippery. In asking we were given bath mats. Would definitely go back if there was aircons and better beds and then the rates would be acceptable.

Driftwood 's response

Good afternoon,

Thank you for your feedback. I will be at Driftwood on Thursday and will action the replacement of the beds in due course.
Shower mats and fans will be provided - as for the windows, I recently added burglar bars to them in order to sleep with them open. I hope after the upgrades you will come and stay again. Kind regards, Paul Versfeld - owner.

Advertensie was misleidend.

Alhoewel Driftwood 'n baie volledig toegeruste, gerieflike, ruim vakansiebestemming is, voel ons die advertensie op Lekkeslaap se webwerf is misleidend. Een van ons vereistes was parkeerplek binne en daarom het ons op Driftwood besluit alhoewel dit 'n groot plek is en ons net 2 persone was. Op die webwerf word dit geadverteer met parkeerplek binne. Met ons aankoms by die huis was die motorhuis toegesluit en slegs nadat ons navraag gedoen het, is ons meegedeel dat dit nie vir vakansiegangers beskikbaar is nie. Ons motor-alarm is 2 keer gedurende die nag in die tydperk wat ons daar was geaktiveer. Aangesien ons deur LekkeSlaap asook Paternoster Accommodation gewaarsku is oor "petty crime" het ons die huis alarm geaktiveer sodra ons die huis verlaat het. Die alarm het byna elke keer afgegaan, sodoende dat ons later slegs by die huis gebly het. Ons was nog nooit in die Weskus en sou graag die omgewing rondom wou verken. Verder word daar gespesifiseer dat die linne na 5 dae verander word. Ons was 8 nagte daar sonder dat die linne ooit vervang is.

Advertisement was misleading.

Although Driftwood is a very fully equipped, comfortable, spacious holiday destination, we feel the advertisement on Lekkeslaap's website is misleading. One of our requirements was indoor parking and that's why we decided on Driftwood even though it's a big place and we were only 2 people. On the website it is advertised with parking inside. When we arrived at the house the garage was locked and only after we inquired were we told that it was not available to holidaymakers. Our car alarm was activated 2 times during the night in the period we were there. Since we were warned by LekkeSlaap as well as Paternoster Accommodation about "petty crime", we activated the house alarm as soon as we left the house. The alarm went off almost every time, so that later we only stayed at home. We have never been to the West Coast and would love to explore the surrounding area. Furthermore, it is specified that the linen is changed after 5 days. We were there 8 nights without the linen ever being changed.
