Disappointed.

Great views. Pity it was spoilt by an outdated unit. We were not advised that there were 30 steep steps to reach the unit. Only a low bath with no grab handles. Both are dangerous for older persons. No assistance with cases etc. and no cleaning service.

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed the ocean and beach views. We will make an effort to make it more user-friendly for older persons. There is an alternative driveway, to avoid the steps and assistance with arrival and departure can easily be arranged on request. A daily cleaning service is also available on request. You are welcome to communicate these requests in your next stay with us.

Die geyser was nie aangeskakel nie. Toe ons wou bad, was die water yskoud.

Die geyser was nie aangeskakel nie. 'n Mens moet braai voor ander mense se deur. Die kragproppe by ketel, toaster, mikrogolf het nie gewerk nie. Ons het die prop opgetel, maar dit het weer getrip. Ons moes die ketel in kamer kook en mikrogolf by TV gebruik. Daar is nie 'n dakkie oor voor die stoepie nie. Die kamer se vloerteëls is baie gekraak en stukkend.

The geyser was not turned on. When we wanted to bathe, the water was ice cold.

The geyser was not turned on. One has to braai in front of other people's door. The power plugs at kettle, toaster, microwave did not work. We picked up the plug but it tripped again. We had to cook the kettle in room and use microwave by TV. There is not a roof left in front of the stoepie. The room's floor tiles are very cracked and broken.

Henry. Dankie vir u terugvoering. Ons wil u verseker dat ons stel enige ongerief van ons gaste hoog op prys. baie jammer dat die geyser nie aangeskakel was met jul aankoms nie. Die elektrisiën was gekontak en die kragprop wat probleme gegee het tydens jul verblyf, is nou ook vervang.
Die twee gekraakte teëls onder die slaapkamer se mat gaan ook vervang word tydens die jaarlikse onderhoud. Dankie ook vir die afdakkie voorstel op die stoep, dit sal beslis 'n groot aanwins wees op sonnige dae en deel daarvan sal 'n ingeboude braaier, ook ideaal wees. U is baie welkom om in 2023 weer op Heroldsbaai besoek te kom aflê en verseker dan al die verbeteringe te geniet.
Vriendelike Knysna groete,
Jan en Laticha van Wageningen

Baie netjies, sal beslis weer daar gaan bly.

Jan die eienaar was per foon baie vriendelik, en so behulpsaam, al het ons nie eers ontmoet. Ek en my 9-jarige dogter het meer as genoeg plek vir al ons kleure gehad. Daar is meer as genoeg geriewe om lekker te bly en kuier. (Dalk net 1 versoek, 'n opvoubare klere/handdoekrak wat op die stoep of self net binne gesit kan work sal baie help).

Very neat, will definitely stay there again.

Jan the owner was very friendly on the phone, and so helpful, even though we didn't even meet. My 9 year old daughter and I had more than enough room for all our colors. There are more than enough facilities to have a nice stay and visit. (Perhaps just 1 request, a foldable clothes/towel rack that can be placed on the porch or just inside would help a lot).

Netjies met al die nodige geriewe.

Baie netjiese plekkie. Als wat nodig was, was daar behalwe 'n ekstra kombers of 2 vir die koue aande. Sal dit nog meer geniet het as mens kon braai voor op die dek waar mens op die see uitkyk. 'n Sambreel of 'n afdakkie by die dek sal ook 'n goeie aanwins wees vir as dit reën of die son baie warm is. Nie baie aangenaam om agter in die courtyard te braai waar ander mense se deure is nie en waar mens nie op die see kan uitkyk nie. Dit is die enigste negatiewe ding wat ek te sê het. Die res van die plek was voldoende vir my en my man.

Neat with all the necessary amenities.

Very neat place. All that was needed, apart from an extra blanket or 2 for the cold evenings, was there. Would have enjoyed it even more if you could have a barbecue in front of the deck overlooking the sea. An umbrella or a canopy by the deck would also be a good asset for when it rains or the sun is very hot. Not very pleasant to barbecue in the back of the courtyard where other people's doors are and where you can't look out at the sea. That's the only negative thing I have to say. The rest of the place was adequate for me and my husband.

Dankie vir jou terugvoering,
Ja, parkering op Heroldsbaai bly maar beperk in besige tye.
Daar is gelukkig altyd privaat straatvlak parkering vir Gatvol-Oos gaste op die erf, indien die 10 publieke parkerings verder af in die straat onbeskikbaar is vir groot SUV voertuie.
Die geyser is darem 80 tot 90% van die dag aan en die 2 ure beurtkrag onderbrekings bly maar 'n uitdaging.
Ons is bly jul het die 2 dae daar baie geniet en jul is altyd weer welkom.
