Lekker kuier in Port Edward.

Ons het lekker gebly by Eight Palms, vriendelike en baie flinke diens van hulle. Die uitleg van die eenheid kom aanvanklik as eienaardig voor maar ons het dit maak werk aangesien daar net een badkamer is in die hoofslaapkamer. Die ligging is goed, lekker naby die strand. Kombuis goed toegerus met alles. Genoeg skoon handdoeke en beddegoed - alles baie skoon en netjies - dankie weereens aan Bongi wat alles so mooi in orde gehou het.

Have a nice visit in Port Edward.

We had a nice stay at Eight Palms, friendly and very prompt service from them. The layout of the unit seems odd at first but we made it work as there is only one bathroom in the master bedroom. The location is good, nice and close to the beach. Kitchen well equipped with everything. Plenty of clean towels and bedding - everything very clean and tidy - thanks again to Bongi who kept everything so nicely in order.

Topklas diens en geriewe.

Camien het my 5min na betaling reeds gekontak en gesê ons woonstel is reg - 'n verligting as jy met 3 kinders reis. Alles in kamer was perfek vir nie net een aand nie, maar selfs 'n hele vakansie. Dankie.

Top class service and facilities.

Camien already contacted me 5min after payment and said our apartment is ready - a relief if you are traveling with 3 children. Everything in room was perfect for not only one night, but even a whole vacation. Thank you.

We had a wonderful time.

Although we were disappointed with the accommodation - it was very small (especially for 6 adults; although luckily we ended up being only 4) and with only a single shower, toilet and basin to share among all of us, and which required walking through the bedroom to reach - we enjoyed out stay. This cottage, despite being beautifully kitted out, should not be advertised for 6 people and it would be best suited for a family with children rather than for two couples. The lack of privacy was unfortunate, particularly the bathroom facility. Nonetheless, Carmien was very friendly and saw to all our needs when asked for fresh towels and more toilet paper, as we were staying for 5 days. I would highly recommend getting a generator for during load shedding, especially as having no electricity and subsequently no access to water either, during these times, can be very inconvenient, because this is not at issue when at home in Gauteng due to having alternative sources of energy.

Stay was really good. The owner really went out of her way to make it special.

We took a walk to the beach. It rained. The owner messaged us to ask if we needed a ride back. The rooms were nice and clean. Stay was really good.

Baie lekker - op a stadium sal lugversorging in kamers gesit moet word.

Hou baie van Eight Palms - was lekker en die gasheer was great. Net bitter warm en die kamers moet lugversorging kry op ’n stadium - maar vertsaan ook tye is moeilik.

Feels like home.

Skoon, gerieflike akkommodasie. Die gasvryheid waarmee ons ontvang en behandel is het dit laat voel of ons kuier by familie. Ons sal beslis weer daar wil bly as ons Port Edward besoek. Baie dankie vir 'n genotvolle ervaring waar ons voorwaar kon uitrus!

Dit was heerlik en skoon en ons kon rustig wees terwyl die kinders speel in die tuin want hulle kan nêrens uitgaan nie.

Ons het heerlik gebly, alles wat mens benodig is daar. En die winkels is net om die draai as mens iets kort. Ons huisie is elke dag netjies skoon gemaak. Ons het lekker geslaap en die kinders kon heerlik speel.

It was lovely and clean and we could relax while the children played in the garden because they could go nowhere else.

We had a lovely visit, everything that you need is there. The shops are around the corner if you need something. Our house was cleaned every day. We had a peaceful sleep the children could have fun and play.

Hi Lizette,

Baie dankie, ons is bly julle het dit geniet. Ek vra om verskoning, ons is nog baie nuut in die game en ek het nie besef dis nie duidelik dat dit 'n woonstel in ons erf is nie, aangesien ons net een woonstel adverteer. Ek sal dit reg stel.

Baie groete,
Camien
