Ons het lekker gekuier saam ons familie, was veral beïndruk met al die boeke in die huis.

House McIntosh is ruim met genoeg ruimte vir 'n groot groep, dit is egter vreemd gebou. Die 20 steil, donker trappe na die boonste vlak is beslis 'n veiligheidsrisiko. Die balkon was ook 'n bekommernis, baie smal en het veral in die hoeke vibreer as mens daar geloop het. Daar is nie voldoende braaigeriewe nie, dus trek rook huis in.

We had a nice time with our family, were especially impressed with all the books in the house.

House McIntosh is spacious with enough room for a large group, however it is oddly built. The 20 steep, dark stairs to the upper level are definitely a safety risk. The balcony was also a concern, very narrow and vibrated especially in the corners when you walked on it. There are not enough braai facilities, so smoke moves into the house.

Baie lekker.

Elandsbaai is 'n baie lekker nawee bestemming. Naby aan Kaapstad geleë. Stil en rustige Weskus-dorp en nie so baie besoekers soos Suidkaap-dorpe nie.

Very nice.

Elandsbaai is a very nice weekend destination. Located close to Cape Town. Quiet and peaceful West Coast town and not as many visitors as Southern Cape towns.

Almal het die naweek baie geniet behalwe vir die kosmaak-uitdagings in die kombuis.

Die uitleg van die huis is interessant. Toegang tot die onderste 4 kamers is deur buite skuifdeure en toegang tot die boonste vlak is buite om die huis na die voordeur of anders deur een van die kamers wat die privaatheid van daardie kamer benadeel. Vanaf die voordeur tot bo is daar 21 styl trappe - nie goed vir ouer persone of persone met knie- en heupprobleme nie. Die huis het 5 slaapkamers en 2 beddens in die leefarea wat 'n moontlikheid van 10 of meer mense kan huisves. Die kombuis is egter nie ingerig daarvoor nie. Die stoof is te klein en beperk. Die yskas/vrieskas is te klein om al die koue goed vir 10 mense in te sit. Die vorige huurders moes seker vis of aas of iets in die yskas vergeet het, want die reuk uit die yskas was iets verskrikliks. Al die kos en veral die melk het die reuk ingetrek en was onaangenaam. In die kombuis is ook 'n ou stortmuurtjie wat meer as een persoon se toonvelle geëis het. Stel voor dat die muurtjie verwyder moet word voordat iemand ernstig seerkry. As die kombuis se tekortkomings uitgesorteer kan word (stoof,yskas/stortmuurtjie) is die huis baie lekker geleë en ons het die naweek baie geniet. Veral die koffie op die dak vroegoggend!

Everyone really enjoyed the weekend except for the cooking challenges in the kitchen.

The layout of the house is interesting. Access to the lower 4 rooms is through outside sliding doors and access to the upper level is outside around the house to the front door or else through one of the rooms compromising the privacy of that room. From the front door to the top there are 21 style stairs - not good for older people or people with knee and hip problems. The house has 5 bedrooms and 2 beds in the living area which can accommodate a possibility of 10 or more people. However, the kitchen is not set up for that. The stove is too small and limited. The fridge/freezer is too small to put all the cold things in for 10 people. The previous tenants must have left fish or bait or something in the fridge, because the smell from the fridge was something terrible. All the food and especially the milk absorbed the smell and was unpleasant. In the kitchen there is also an old shower wall that claimed more than one person's toes. Suggest that the wall be removed before someone gets seriously hurt. If the kitchen's shortcomings can be sorted out (stove, fridge/shower wall) the house is very nicely located and we really enjoyed the weekend. Especially the coffee on the roof early in the morning!

'n Baie lekker wegbreek by 'n stil strand.

Elke kamer gee die gaste die geleentheid om weg te breek van die groep gaste. Die kinders kan tussen die rotse die seelewe geniet of op die stil strand speel. Dit was werklik 'n baie lekker ondervinding en baie behulpsame eienaar en ontvangs personeel.

A very nice break at a quiet beach.

Each room gives the guests the opportunity to break away from the group of guests. The children can enjoy the sea life among the rocks or play on the quiet beach. It was really a very nice experience and very helpful owner and reception staff.

Ons gesin van 5 (3 jong mans tussen 23 en 28) het gerieflik gebly alhoewel badkamers nie rolstoelvriendelik is nie.

Die huis is gerieflik en netjies. Met klein verandering kan ten minste een badkamer rolstoelvriendelik gemaak word. Daar was nie 'n broodmes en steakmessies nie. 'n Broodpannetjie sou baie handig gewees het.

Uitstekende verblyf.

Ideaal vir 'n paar gesinne wat saam met vakansie wil gaan. Elke slaapkamer het ook sy eie badkamer wat dit prakties maak vir 'n groot groep. Daar is ook klein kombuisies tussen die kamers wat dit gemaklik maak vir baie mense.

Uiters Swak

Die verblyf was uiters swak gewees. Die huis was vuil toe ons daar aankom en die foto's wat op die webtuiste is, wys glad nie hoe dit daar lyk nie. Daar was 'n stoof waarvan die oond nie kon toemaak nie. Geen van die braaie was skoongemaak nie. Ons moes ekstra onksostes aangaan want daar was nie die nodige kombuistoerusting soos 'n braaibak of rasper nie. Ek dink dit is uiters sleg gewees en ek sal dit geensins aan enige iemand aanbeveel nie. Die stoepe rondom die huis was vuil en nie geveë nie en daar was honde ontlasting op die stoep. Dit was nie waarde vir geld gewees nie aangesien ons 'n groot groep was, maar alles is verdeeld gewees. Ek was uiters teleurgesteld met die plek en sal dit nie aanbeveel nie. Ek sal ook nie weer Elandsbaai toe gaan nie.

Extremely Weak

The accommodation had been extremely poor. The house was dirty when we got there and the pictures on the website do not show what it looks like there at all. There was a stove whose oven could not close. None of the grills were cleaned. We had to take extra meals because there was no necessary kitchen equipment such as a braai or grater. I think it was extremely bad and I would in no way recommend it to anyone. The porches around the house were dirty and not swept and there were dog feces on the porch. It was not value for money as we were a large group, but everything was shared. I was extremely disappointed with the place and would not recommend it. I will not go to Elands Bay again either.

Dear Maggie
I am sorry to hear that Elandsbay and the house was not to your liking.
I understand that the house was not clean and believe the reason was that you arrived prematurely on the day of arrival.

'n Groot huis met see-uitsig, maar baie basiese kookgeriewe.

Groot huis met slaapplek vir tot 15 mense. Waarde vir geld vir meer as een gesin / groepe met baie kinders. En suite-badkamers oral. Smal 'wrap-around' balkon met see-uitsig. Baie lang, steil trappe tot bo. Leef- en kookgeriewe is baie basies. Geen kaste in kamers of kombuis nie.

This was a very strange house, every room was a bedroom, even the kitchen had a bed in it, so the house wasn't great, but the boys had a great time surfing.

The house is not ideal for a family, it seems more appropriate for room lets. There was no lounge for us to gather as a family and the kitchen was very poor, no counters on which to prep food and no cupboard space to unpack groceries. For the price we paid per night, I felt it was overpriced for what we got. There was only one wine glass in the whole place!
