Dit was aangenaam om met die webtuiste saam met die eienaar Rene te werk.

Ja, perfek. Genoeg slaaplek en alles is baie netjies en skoon.

Clean, neat and friendly cleaner. WiFi should be in the studio suite as well.

Except for being without electricity from 02:00 - 09:30, the stay was worth the money. The light on the stoep blew after the electricity went off and was not fixed during our stay.

Baie lekker.

Ons het baie lekker gebly en die uitsig is asemrowend. Kon die branders hoor breek voor slaaptyd en soggens wanneer jy wakker word.

Very nice.

We had a great stay and the view is breathtaking. Could hear the waves breaking before bed and in the morning when you wake up.

Very centrally positioned in the town.

All the amenities were available to make the stay enjoyable. Was just right for my night stayover.

Nie waarde vir geld nie.

Die kamer wat ons bespreek het, was nie aan ons geallokeer nie, al het ons daarvoor betaal. Wanneer jy die vertrek binne gaan, word jy oorweldig deur 'n klam ("damp") reuk.

Not value for money.

The room we booked was not allocated to us, even though we paid for it. When you enter the room, you are overwhelmed by a damp ("vapour") smell.

Perfek, lekker en rustig.

Verblyf in onderste huis gedeelte is gepas vir 12 mense met oor as genoeg geriewe vir kuier, kos maak en slaap. Netjies en aan die kant.

Perfect, nice and peaceful.

Accommodation in the lower part of the house is suitable for 12 people with more than enough facilities for visiting, cooking and sleeping. Neat and to the side.

Sien sterre.

Beautiful plek, pragtige uitsig oor die see en hawe. Die feit dat die kombuis en braai-area gedeel moet word tussen gaste (een yskas wat almal moes deel), het ons bietjie gepla, maar verder het ons regtig die tyd daar geniet.

Beautiful place, beautiful view of the sea and harbor. The fact that the kitchen and braai area has to be shared between guests (one fridge that everyone had to share) bothered us a bit, but apart from that we really enjoyed the time there.

Was goed dankie.

Ons het 'n koue nag getref. Alles was goed, behalwe dit was koud en die addisionele kombers was regtig vuil en het nie lekker geruik nie. Dit het 'n was nodig gehad. Ons het dit glad nie op die bed gebruik nie. Handdoeke en ander linne was skoon.

Was good thanks.

We hit a cold night. Everything was good, except it was cold and the additional blanket was really dirty and didn't smell good. It needed a wash. We didn't use it on the bed at all. Towels and other linen were clean.

Heerlik stil en maklik bereikbaar.

Vir backpackers is dit ideaal. Die kamer agter die hoofgebou kan egter met gemak deur persone gebruik word om oor te slaap.

Wonderfully quiet and easily accessible.

For backpackers it is ideal. However, the room behind the main building can easily be used by persons to sleep over.

Baie lekker, sentraal geleë.

Ons het ons kuier baie geniet. Die "family unit" het ons privaatheid gebied met al die geriewe waarvoor ons kon vra.
