Die plek was super netjies en skoon, alles lyk of dit nuut of goed opgepas is.

Baie netjiese plek met alles wat mense nodig het vir 'n vinnige naweek kuier.

Wonderlike fasiliteite en gasvrye ontvangs.

Beide Ian en Sian (gasheer- en vrou) het soveel moeite gedoen. Ian het selfs gehelp met visvanglesse.

Great plek, netjies en als wat jy nodig het.

Is heelwat groter as wat dit lyk op foto. Beskut teen die wind, koel in winter maar 'n heater was voorsien om die ergste koue te breek. Privaat met jou eie braai area weg van die huis af.

Is much bigger than it looks in the picture. Sheltered from the wind, cool in winter but a heater was provided to break the worst of the cold. Private with your own braai area away from the house.

Baie mooi, maar die kuiermense het ons gepla.

Kuiermense moet eerder gereël word wanneer daar nie gaste in die woonstel is nie, dit het minagtend gevoel. Het lekker gebly, was net vir my steurend dat die eienaars die hele Saterdag op die deck gekuier en gebraai het. Ek sou sê as mens 'n R1000 'n nag betaal, mag mens seker in vrede en stilte die mooi uitsig en woonstel geniet.

Very nice, but the visitors bothered us.

Visiting people should be arranged instead when there are no guests in the apartment, it felt disdainful. Had a nice stay, it was just disturbing to me that the owners were hanging out and barbecuing on the deck all Saturday. I would say that if you pay R1000 a night, you can probably enjoy the beautiful view and apartment in peace and quiet.

Dit was 'n baie spesiale woning, en die kommunikasie was goed. Ek sal beslis hierdie blyplek aanbeveel en weer daarvan gebruik maak in die toekoms!

Ideaal vir 'n vakansie en naby die see, met die mooiste uitsig!

Heerlik.

'n Veiligheidshek sal baie welkom wees, dan kan 'n mens die deur oop los en net die hek toetrek en sodoende lekker koel slaap en die see hoor. Andersins heerlik gebly en sal Nautilus aanbeveel.

Delicious.

A security gate would be very welcome, then one could leave the door open and just close the gate and thus sleep nice and cool and hear the sea. Otherwise had a great stay and would recommend Nautilus.

Safe self-catering accommodation in unspoilt Yzerfontein.

Here's why I loved Nautilus: Enclosed yard means it's safe for your pet to run around off-leash. Clean accommodation. Free Wi-Fi. A range of books to choose from. Friendly owner who is available should you need her. Ample space to hang your clothes. Safe parking. A comfortable bed. Coffee and tea-making facilities including milk and bottled water in the fridge. A microwave and a two-plate stove with oven. The plates are super slow, though. The beach within walking distance of the accommodation. A safe little town. A modern flat-screen TV with a bouquet of TV shows from Netflix to Showmax. Tasteful decor. I especially loved that I didn't have to ask for the Wi-Fi password. The owner writes it on the welcome page left on the table and on the little blackboard held up by a wooden dude. Her welcome page includes a welcome list of recommended restaurants. Unfortunately, we were without electricity from 21:00 on Monday until just before 09:00 on Tuesday. The owner informed me that there was an earth leakage so they had to shut down power for safety reasons. These things happen and Yvonne apologized. I couldn't do without my morning coffee though. So they brought me some hot water from the main house so I could at least enjoy a cuppa. Much appreciated.

Beautifully appointed apartment with view of the sea.

My daughter and I were on our way to Darling and had a quick stop over in Yzerfontein. The accommodation exceeded our expectations. The apartment has everything you need and is beautifully appointed. The big blankets and gas heater kept the cold at bay. Yvonne was a lovely host and the location was perfect for us. Only one thing. No adaptor for the hairdryer. We will be back! Oh, and complimentary wine and rusks!
