Baie lekker. Het heerlik ontspan.

Ontspan is die beste plek waar ek nog gebly het. Ligging, veiligheid, geriewe ens. uit die boonste rakke. Baie dankie, Maritha.

Baie lekker wegbreek-langnaweek met die gesin.

Blyplek lekker op die strandfront en gemaklik geleë vir vinnige oorstap na winkels of eetplekke in Dwarskersbos self. Willene en Marieta het beide baie vriendelike diens gegee en ons sal beslis weer oorweeg om in Ontspan oor te bly wanneer ons weer daardie kant toe wil wegbreek.

Very nice long weekend getaway with the family.

Nice place to stay on the beach front and conveniently located for a quick transfer to shops or places to eat in Dwarskersbos itself. Willene and Marieta both provided very friendly service and we will definitely consider staying in Ontspa again when we want to get away that way again.

Mense het ons mislei.

Aircon het nie gewerk nie, heeltyd inspeksie gehou en dorings was die hele tuin vol. Het ons soos kriminele laat voel.

People have deceived us.

Aircon did not work, kept inspection all the time and thorns were full of the whole garden. Made us feel like criminals.

Beste blyplek nog!

Ontspan is die regte naam vir die plek, want so naby aan die see en strand kan mens net ontspan. Dit is die beste plek waar ons nog gebly het in Dwarskersbos. Ons verwagtinge oortref! Veilige parkering, plek is baie netjies met als wat mens nodig het en is letterlik 20 meter van die strand. Die uitsig is asemrowend. Ons sal beslis weer bespreek in die toekoms.

Best place to stay yet!

Relax is the right name for the place, because so close to the sea and beach one can only relax. This is the best place we have ever stayed in Dwarskersbos. Exceeding our expectations! Safe parking, place is very tidy with everything you need and is literally 20 meters from the beach. The view is breathtaking. We will definitely book again in the future.

'n Plek wat meer bied as wat mens verwag.

Dit was 'n onvergeetlike ervaring wat nog lank onthou sal word. Met die instap was alles skoon en netjies en ons het sommer dadelik tuis gevoel. Die plek het ons harte gesteel en ons sal dit aan enige iemand aanbeveel. Perfekte ligging, teen die see, maar jy word nie deur ander toeriste oorweldig nie. Dankie Maritha en Willeen. Ontspan sal ons beslis weer sien.

A place that offers more than one expects.

It was an unforgettable experience that will be remembered for a long time. Upon entering, everything was clean and tidy and we immediately felt at home. The place stole our hearts and we would recommend it to anyone. Perfect location, by the sea, but you are not overwhelmed by other tourists. Thank you Maritha and Willeen. Relax we will definitely see you again.

Lekker naby die strand en ver genoeg van die stad se lawaai.

Lieflike plekkie, goed gewerk vir my drie kinders (15, 10 en 4). Ek het van die fynskrif gemis, maar Maritha was bereid om uit te help waar moontlik, baie dankie!. Die R300 skoonmaakfooi is bietjie rof siende dat ons deurentyd skoongemaak het. Oor die algemeen - great vakansie en ek sal Ontspan nie net aanbeveel nie, maar self ook weer gebruik.

Nicely close to the beach and far enough from the city's noise.

Lovely place, worked well for my three children (15, 10 and 4). I missed some of the fine print, but Maritha was willing to help out where possible, thank you very much!. The R300 cleaning fee is a bit rough considering that we cleaned all the time. Overall - great holiday and I would not only recommend Relax but use again myself.

Lekker rustig en stil.

Lekker gekuier. Rustig en still. Weg van stadsgewoel. Stapafstand van die see. Lekker gewees om hondjies te kon saamneem. Raak egter raserig wanneer gaste in ander deel van huis is. Slegs deur wat verblyf skei.

Nice and peaceful.

Had a nice time. Peaceful and quiet. Away from the city's noise. Walking distance form the ocean. Was very nice to be able to take the dogs along. It does, however, get a bit noisy when there are guests in the other part of the house. Only a door separates accommodation.

By die see en goed ingerig.

Het die verblyf geniet. Lekker groot buitebraai wat uitkyk op die see en lieflike sonsondergang in die aand. Daar is alle kombuisbenodighede wat jy nodig het. Letterlik 20 m van strand. Redelik goed ingerig met ekstra toilet in spaarkamer. Genoeg tyd om te rus! Die hoofslaapkamerbed nie vir lang gaste bedoel nie (voete kap teen voetstuk aangesien bed redelik oud is). Tuin buite benodig aandag met onkruid. Verblyf toegerus met lugversorging maar daar word verwag dat gaste ekstra krag moet koop.

By the sea and well furnished.

Enjoyed the stay. Nice big outdoor barbecue overlooking the sea and lovely sunset in the evening. There are all kitchen essentials you need. Literally 20 m from the beach. Fairly well furnished with extra toilet in spare room. Enough time to rest! The main bedroom bed not intended for tall guests (feet butt against plinth as bed is quite old). Garden outside needs attention with weeds. Accommodation equipped with air conditioning but guests are expected to purchase extra power.

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer en dat jul by ntspan gebly het. Die probleem areas is aandag gegee. Arbeid is soms n probleem by weskus, maar tuin versorging is uitsorteer en dit lyk pragtig nou met nog beter uitsig agv plante wat uitsig belemmer. Nuwe bed is bestel sonder voetstuk. Nogmaals dankie.

Rustige omgewing, beddens net baie ongemaklik en geen vooraf melding van koopkrag kragboks.

Ons het die privaatheid geniet. Plekkie is redelik goed toegerus. Beddens is net baie ongemaklik, slaap aaklig. Geen probleem met kragboks, plekkie gebruik nie baie krag nie, maak net melding van kragboks vir voorbereidingsdoeleindes.
