The stay was cool.

The place was clean, but there is no cleaning services during the stay. Was unhappy with the supply of toilet paper. Only one roll was issued out for 6 people in 3 days.

Hi Carol,
Thanks for your positive feedback. As you may know the question with regard to toilet paper is that we provide one courtesy roll of toilet paper on arrival and thereafter it is up to the guest(s) to supply their own as it is with your food. We offer our guests self-catering accommodation.
Regards

Enjoyed our stay.

Pillows possibly need replacing. Ceiling fans would be more effective in the rooms rather than the fan units currently provided.

Very nice.

Allen is probably the nicest person we have met in a very long time. The house was very neat and close enough to shops and the beach. I'm a big guy and the shower and beds were really nice. If you like peace and quiet then Pennington retreat is the place for you. Allen as a host we want to thank you once again for a lovely stay we really enjoyed every single moment. We will see you in 2023.

Dit was die moeite werd.

Kyk asb. na die aanwysings. Dit is totaal en al verkeerd. Ek moes vir Alan vra vir die koördinate.

It was worth it.

Please look following the directions. This is totally wrong. I had to ask Alan for the coordinates.

Goedkoop, goed geleë.

As jy op soek is na 'n plek om snags te slaap, is die 'n goeie keuse. Vir 2 persone is dit meer as voldoende, mits jy bedags ander aktiwiteite beplan. Ongelukkig het die eenheid nie lugversorging nie en word dit snags baie warm. Die 2 waaiers help ongelukkig nie baie nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Cheap, well located.

If you are looking for a place to sleep at night, this is a good choice. For 2 people it is more than sufficient, provided you plan other activities during the day. Unfortunately the unit does not have air conditioning and it gets very hot at night. The 2 fans unfortunately do not help much.

Pennington Retreat is pragtig en regtig rolstoelvriendelik.

Allen se plekke is baie mooi en alles wat jy nodig het is daar. Dit is baie rustig. Beveel die plekkie regtig aan en ook veral vir rolstoel-gebruikers.

Aangename verblyf!

Pennington Retreat was regtig 'n 'treat'. Ons 2-slaapplek-eenheid was ruim en baie netjies met alles wat ons nodig gehad het, en selfs ekstra! Bybehore en linne was van goeie kwaliteit. Alan het ons baie vriendelik ontvang met ons aankoms, en het aangedring om ons te groet selfs toe ons reeds baie vroeg in oggend weer moes huiswaarts keer, dit was so waardeer! Die akkommodasie is naby aan alles, strand, restaurante en winkels, maar bied terselfdertyd stil en rustige verblyf. Sou ons weer die area besoek sal ek geensins twyfel om weer by Pennington Retreat te boek nie! Dankie Alan, vir 'n werklik aangename verblyf-ervaring!

Pleasant stay!

Pennington Retreat was really a 'treat'. Our 2 bedroom unit was spacious and very tidy with everything we needed and even extra! Accessories and linen were of good quality. Alan received us very kindly upon our arrival, and insisted on greeting us even when we had to return home very early in the morning, it was so appreciated! The accommodation is close to everything, beach, restaurants and shops, but at the same time offers quiet and peaceful accommodation. Should we visit the area again I would have no hesitation in booking with Pennington Retreat again! Thank you Alan, for a truly pleasant stay experience!

Gerieflik vir 2 gesinne om altwee eenhede te huur, maar nie 2 vreemde gesinne nie.

Die voordeure is langs mekaar so jy moet na ander mense se geselskap luister, TV luister en saam braai.

Convenient for 2 families to rent both units, but not 2 strange families.

The front doors are next to each other so you have to listen to other people's company, listen to TV and barbecue together.

Skoon, veilig en loopafstand na winkels en strand.

Ons was 4 volwassenes en 2 kinders in 'n eenheid met 3 kamers. Almal kon enige tyd 'n warm stort neem wat soms nie oral gebeur. Die eenheid was groot, netjies en skoon en alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Ons gasheer Allan was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Hy was daar om ons te ontvang en af te sien en ook gehelp tydens kragonderbreking.

Our host Allan was very friendly and helpful. He was there to receive and see us off and also helped during a power outage.
