Wonderlik en stil.

Wat 'n ongelooflike plek. Baie goed toegerus met meer as wat mens kan dink. Net 'n kort stap van die strand af. Bonus was dat ons hondjie welkom was. Defnitief 'n plek waarnatoe mens weer terugkom!

Wonderful and quiet.

What an incredible place. Very well equipped with more than you can imagine. Just a short walk from the beach. Bonus was that our dog was welcome. Definitely a place to return to!

Baie lekker gerus. Martin was baie gasvry en plekkie is goed toegerus.

Het lekker gerus en die plekkie is goed toegerus. Was daar op 'n baie nat en koue tyd en die kaggel was toe uitstekend. Geen kragprobleme, met solar toegerus en werkende TV, genoeg bordspeletjies om jou besig te hou op 'n koue dag. Baie dankie vir 'n lekker tydjie!

Very nice please. Martin was very hospitable and the place is well equipped.

Had a nice rest and the place is well equipped. Was there at a very wet and cold time and the fireplace was excellent then. No power problems, with solar equipped and working TV, enough board games to keep you busy on a cold day. Thank you very much for a nice time!

Dit was 'n baie lekker naweek vol aktiwiteite met die perfekte plekkie om rustig te rus.

Ons het elke dag 'n oggend en 'n middag aktwiteit gehad. Die MyCiti wat reg verby die akkommodasie ry, was ook 'n bonus en die kinders het die bus-ervaring baie geniet. Ons sal definitief weer kom kuier.

It was a very nice weekend full of activities with the perfect place to rest peacefully.

We had a morning and an afternoon activity every day. The MyCiti which runs right past the accommodation was also a bonus and the children really enjoyed the bus experience. We will definitely visit again.

Most enjoyable, will definitely be returning!

Despite being on the owner's property, the holiday home is altogether private. It is really spacious en fully equipped with everything you need, even a private garden for my two dogs! Forgot to take along a couple of things (braai spice and oil), only to find a supply available in the food cupboard, and as for the dishwasher, that is a real blessing! Lovely sunset views from the balcony and a private beach with wonderful sand dunes within walking distance. Make a booking, you won't be sorry!

Perfect, calm accommodation with plenty possibilities around.

Ideal location for people who enjoy windsurfing, and surfing. All you need is available in the house. Very helpful owners on the property. Very good for people who are "new" in South Africa.

Rus vir die siel.

Vanaf ons aankoms tot vertrek was die die eienaar fantasties. Die huis is baie goed toegerus met alles wat jy nodig het - tot melk, tee koffie, water ens. sodat jy nie dadelik by winkel hoef te stop voor daardie eerste koppie koffie nie. Die kamers netjies en skoon en baie gerieflik. Lekker beddens en mooi skoon beddegoed. Orals kombersies vir as die koue wind opsteek. Gasverwarmer en opsie vir lekker vuurtjie as dit koud is. Skoon braai met buitetafel en stoele. WiFi, TV met Netflix, gedurende loadshedding werk sommige ligte in die huis. Vinnige stappie af in die straat tot op 'n pragtige strand met mooiste wit duine. Definitief 'n plek wat ek sal aanbeveel vir 'n lekker familievakansie!

Rest for the soul.

From our arrival to departure the owner was fantastic. The house is very well equipped with everything you need - up to milk, tea coffee, water etc. so you don't have to stop at the store immediately before that first cup of coffee. The rooms are neat and clean and very comfortable. Nice beds and nice clean bedding. Blankets everywhere for when the cold wind picks up. Gas heater and option for a nice fire when it's cold. Clean barbecue with outdoor table and chairs. WiFi, TV with Netflix, during loadshedding some lights work in the house. A quick walk down the street to a beautiful beach with the most beautiful white dunes. Definitely a place I would recommend for a nice family vacation!

Home away from home.

The description and photographs on the website do not do justice to this lovely, large flat. Definite value for money! Only wish we had booked for longer, a mistake I will not repeat! The flat has two large bedrooms (with comfy beds), a bathroom with a shower and a bath, a large open-plan dining room, living room area, and a balcony. The kitchen is fully equipped and my dogs were also welcome. Martin made us feel very welcome and spared no effort to make this flat a home away from home. We will definitely be going back!

Wegbreeknaweek.

Uitsig vanaf die hoek van die sitkamer was uitstekend. Martin was ongelooflik tegemoetkomend nadat ons 'n mediese insident gekry het op Saterdag.

Breakaway weekend.

View from the corner of the living room was excellent. Martin was incredibly accommodating after we had a medical incident on Saturday.

Relaxing escape.

This is a home away from home. Every convenience you need for a short or long breakaway is contained in this 2 bedroom home with a lovely view of Table Mountain and the beach. Oh yes, did I mention that the beach is literally no further than 500 meters away!

Uitstekend en gasvry!

Die wooneenheid is baie ruim en uitstekend toegerus. Martin, die eienaar wat ook die perseel deel, was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Een wenk is moontlik om 'n motorafdak of skadunet te installeer vir jou voertuig. Ons is heeltyd bewus gemaak deur klein "reminders" oor die waterkrisis in Kaapstad. Dit word baie waardeer, want 'n mens kan soms vergeet daarvan as jy met vakansie is. Die tydjie by Melkbos Beach Cottage was voorwaar uit die boonste rakke!

Excellent and hospitable!

The residential unit is very spacious and excellently equipped. Martin, the owner who also shares the premises, was very friendly and helpful. One tip is to install a carport or shade net for your vehicle. We were constantly made aware by little "reminders" about the water crisis in Cape Town. This is much appreciated, because one can sometimes forget about it when one is on vacation. The time at Melkbos Beach Cottage was truly top notch!

Voorsien in gaste se behoeftes en die kombuis is goed toegerus.

Vriendelike eienaars. Ons het heerlik gebly en dit is baie oulik vir gesinne - daar is selfs bordspeletjies en kinderboekies. Dit is loopafstand see toe. Baie oulik vir klein troeteldiere. Sal definitief weer gaan.

Friendly owners. We had a nice stay and it's very nice for families - there are even board games and books for kids. It's walking distance from the sea. Very nice for small pets. Will definitely go back.
