Peaceful, well equipped and clean with a lovely ocean view.

Really enjoyed our peaceful weekend stay at Jacobs Cottage with our two dogs. The kitchen is very well equipped and the cottage is a short walk from the beach, local pub and restaurant. Des and Helena are friendly and helpful hosts. Great whale and bird watching from the outside lounge. We will definitely be visiting again.

Peaceful pet-friendly place in walking distance from the beach.

This property offered excellent value for money. In particular, it has a spacious fenced garden suitable for dogs. Our dogs were very comfortable in this property. We were also very comfortable for our two-night stay. The kitchen was well-equipped with a generous supply of cups and mugs, etc. We enjoyed the sea view from the garden and walking to the lovely beach. The property is in a quiet street only a few blocks from the main road and the beach. It is well situated. The host was also very helpful and friendly. Although the WiFi connection was slow or had a weak signal, this wasn't a big issue for us because we weren't using it for work, and there was a strong MTN and Vodacom mobile data signal. Overall, we loved this property and thought it was perfect for our needs. Thanks so much for hosting us. We hope to see you again in the future and will recommend your accommodation to others.

Stil, veilig.

Ons verblyf by Jacobs Cottage by the Ocean was awesome. Alles wat jy nodig het in die kombuis is daar. Die hele cottage is skoon en netjies, met 'n veilige erf vir diere en kinders. Eienaars is baie vriendelik en gasvry, met 'n pragtige see-uitsig. Ons sal beslis weer daar gaan vakansie hou.

Lovely cottage with a nice garden. Very comfortable. My only suggestion would be a gas stove for load shedding. Crossing the road was a bit stressful during rush hour.

Presies wat nodig was.

Dis presies die plek wat jy nodig het as jy net wil wegkom, asemhaal en jouself weer wil vind. Dis bekostigbaar met als wat jy nodig het en die stilte met net die klank van see is fantasties. Baie vriendelike hosts en skoon plek.

Vriendelik, vuilig en naby die swem strand.

Ons het baie lekker gebly by Jacobs Cottage. Eienaars was baie vriendelik en kon ook my Yorkie Bella saamvat. Dis lekker naby mooi en skoon strande wat ons seuns baie geniet het. Daar is ook lekker eetplekke wat "pet friendly" is in die area.

Definitely, big cottage, sea view, private and safe. My dogs also enjoyed their stay a lot. We all felt very welcome and even decided to extend our stay. I would definitely recommend this place, especially if you want to take your pets with. Two of my favourite things were the full DSTV and aircon. We also had WiFi.

'n Stukkie paradys waar jy heerlik kan ontspan en vriendelike eienaars wat die ekstra myl vir jou loop. Ons het lekker by Jacobs Cottage gebly en het niks gekort nie. Dankbaar dat ons die juweel van 'n plek ontdek het.

Rustig naby die see.

Die woonstel is 'n selfsorg eenheid. Dit is nie modern nie, maar het alles wat jy nodig het vir 'n selfsorg. Die woonstel is netjies en skoon en geleë in 'n tuin waar jy kan sit en braai en na die see kyk. Jy is loopafstand van 'n lekker strand vir visvang en swem. Die eienaars Des en Helena is baie betrokke en is heeltyd daar om te sien dat jy gelukkig is. dit is 'n baie lekker plek om die kuslyn te ontdek en baie bekostigbaar.

Quiet near the sea.

The apartment is a self-catering unit. It is not modern, but has everything you need for self-catering. The apartment is neat and clean and located in a garden where you can sit and barbecue and look at the sea. You are walking distance to a nice beach for fishing and swimming. The owners Des and Helena are very involved and are always there to see that you are happy. it is a very nice place to discover the coastline and very affordable.

Die uitsig is great en die eenheid is loopafstand van die strand.

Die verwelkoming was baie gerieflik. Dit is 'n kwessie van, vat net jou klere saam op vakansie. Die eenheid is ten volle toegerus (behalwe kos natuurlik). Helene en Des is wonderlike mense, altyd daar indien jy iets benodig. Die blote feit dat dit ook dierevriendelik is, het ons troeteldier die erf-spasie laat geniet. Die strand is ongeveer 8 minute se loop ver, waar daar 'n gesellige eetplek is waar jy op die boonste dek kan sit en 'n skemerkelkie kan geniet. Maar in die algemeen was die verblyf asemrowend.

The view is great and the unit is walking distance from the beach.

The welcome was very comfortable. It's a matter of, just take your clothes with you on holiday. The unit is fully equipped (except food of course). Helene and Des are wonderful people, always there if you need anything. The mere fact that it is also animal friendly made our pet enjoy the yard space. The beach is about an 8-minute walk away, where there is a cozy dining area where you can sit on the upper deck and enjoy a cocktail. But overall the stay was amazing.

Relaxing, Pleasant and comfortable.

Our first break for 2020 and we enjoyed just being able to kick back and relax, the facility was great but is a bit further from the beach than we would have liked. This did not stop us from enjoying a great break away from home.

Very convenient.

Jacobs Cottage by the Ocean is very conveniently located. We were part of a family reunion and were a party of 4 of a much bigger group. It was nice and close to the beach as well as a little shop and pub. It is also not too far from Shelley Beach to the one side and Hibberdene on the other side, both approx. 10 min. drive. It has a good view of the sea.

Goeie waarde vir geld. Tuinhekkie benodig behoorlike sluit-manier en beligting by die braai-area. Verder baie aangenaam, vriendelik gegroet en voor die tyd gevra hoe laat ons aankoms is.
