Netjies en goed toegerus.

Ons kuier was baie kort (net een nag). Alles was baie netjies, die eenheid is goed toegerus en die ontvangs was vriendelik.

Perfekte wegbreek, mooiste sonsondergange, perfekte gasvrou en gasheer.

Soos altyd was Rest a While die perfekte wegbreek. Ek was bederf vandat ek daar aangekom het totdat ek huistoe is. Die rustigheid, mooiste sonsondergange, stapafstand van die see met kranse en uitsigte wat die asem wegslaan, was net wat ek nodig gehad het voordat ek terug werk toe is. Dankie - altyd die perfekte gasvrou en gasheer. Tot volgende keer, nogmaals baie dankie. Colleen.

Perfect getaway, most beautiful sunsets, perfect hostess and host.

As always, Rest a While was the perfect getaway. I was spoiled from the time I got there until I went home. The tranquility, beautiful sunsets, walking distance to the sea with cliffs and breathtaking views was just what I needed before I went back to work. Thank you - always the perfect hostess and host. Until next time, thanks again. Colleen.

Perfect. The cottage was actually nicer than the pictures portrayed.

We had a wonderful time at Rest a While. The accommodation was like a small cottage with 2 bedrooms and a nice-sized kitchen, etc. Everything was clean and tidy, and such a bargain for the low price. The hosts were lovely, friendly people who made us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back and urge everyone to book a spot at Rest a While. You won't be disappointed.

Wonderlike rustige tyd gehad.

Ons het heerlik gekuier. Die woonstel was baie mooi skoon en netjies en die eienaars Gerhard en Denise was uitstekend. Hul gasvryheid was uit die boonste rakke. Ons was by Rest a While tydens die 24/25 September 2023 vloede toe al die paaie in en uit die Gansbaai omgewing toe was. Gerhard en Denise het hul harte oopgemaak en ons 'n ekstra nag verniet laat bly totdat die paaie die 26ste oopgegaan het waarna ons terug kon keer huistoe. Ons wil uit die diepte van ons harte dankie sê vir hulle. Ons kan Rest a While met vrymoedigheid aanbeveel. Die woonstel was ten volle toegerus met alles wat nodig was en die gasheer het deurgaans met ons kontak gehad om seker te maak ons bly lekker.

Had a wonderful peaceful time.

We had a great time. The apartment was very nice, clean and tidy and the owners Gerhard and Denise were excellent. Their hospitality was top notch. We were at Rest a While during the 24/25 September 2023 floods when all the roads in and out of the Gansbaai area were closed. Gerhard and Denise opened their hearts and let us stay an extra night for free until the roads opened on the 26th, after which we could return home. We want to thank them from the bottom of our hearts. We can confidently recommend Rest a While. The apartment was fully equipped with everything needed and the host was in constant contact with us to make sure we had a good stay.

Uitstekende waarde vir geld.

Rest a While is pragtige selfsorg-eenheid wat baie goed toegerus is. Die eenheid is skoon en baie netjies, stapafstand van die strand en naby aan nodige winkels asook Groeneweide parkrun. Die eenheid is selfs goed toegerus vir load shedding met gasstoof, asook 'n inverter vir die TV en WiFi. Die eienaars is baie vriendelik en gaan uit hul pad om mens te laat welkom voel. Sal beslis weer by Rest a While bly.

Die beste!

Rest a While is een van die bestes om te bly en die plek is verrassend mooi en groot met genoeg spasie vir elkeen. As enkelreisiger was dit fantasties om soveel ruimte te kon gehad het en die plek is volledig toegerus met alles denkbaar. Die gashere is vriendelik en sorg dat alles in plek is en wil graag help om die verblyftyd so aangenaam moontlik te maak. Moenie te lank dink oor die regte keuse wanneer jy verblyf soek in die rigting nie - hierdie is 'n baie goeie keuse en die beste!

Rest a While is one of the best to stay and the place is surprisingly beautiful and big with enough space for everyone. As a single traveler it was fantastic to have so much space and the place is fully equipped with everything imaginable. The hosts are friendly and make sure that everything is in place and would like to help make the stay as pleasant as possible. Don't think too long about the right choice when looking for accommodation in the direction - this is a very good choice and the best!

Wow.

Definitief nie wat ek verwag het nie, plek is baie mooier as wat dit lyk op advertensie. Ons was verwelkom deur Juffrou Denise en ontmoet die volgende dag vir oom Gerhard, vir hul albei kan 10 sterretjies gegee word. Dankie vir jul lekker geselsies en humor. As jy 'n plekkie soek vir 'n wegbreek dan is dit die perfekte plek! Ek gaan definitief weer terug!

Well-located spacious, clean and safe accommodation with friendly hosts.

The apartment is well-equipped with attention to detail. The beds are very comfortable. There is an electric stove and a gas stove. Some lights, Wi-Fi and one electrical plug run on back-up power - so loadshedding (electrical outages to non-South Africans) is not a big issue. Denise and Gerhard are stunning hosts.

Rest a While was werklik 'n heerlike plek vir verblyf by die see in die mooie Overberg.

Ek het regtig so lekker gebly. Die vriendelike professionele en hulpvaardige gasvrou, Denise, het uit haar pad gegaan om te sorg dat ek alles het wat ek moontlik kon nodig kry, en selfs my later laat weet van my foon se laaier wat ek daar vergeet het. Alles was uiters skoon en netjies, die woonstel was baie goed toegerus met elke moontlike gerief, en baie veilig, ook die parkering agter 'n toesluithek. Ek was spyt dat ek net een aand kon oorbly, maar sal beslis in die toekoms weer soontoe gaan.

Rest a While was truly a lovely place to stay by the sea in the beautiful Overberg.

I really had such a nice stay. The friendly professional and helpful hostess, Denise, went out of her way to make sure I had everything I could possibly need, and even let me know later about my phone's charger which I had forgotten there. Everything was extremely clean and tidy, the apartment was very well equipped with every possible comfort, and very safe, also the parking behind a locking gate. I regretted that I could only stay one night, but will definitely go there again in the future.

Baie gerieflik en goed geleë. Skoon en netjies. Eienaars baie besorg oor ons gerief.

Baie lekker oornagplek. Goed geleë, en net ver genoeg van die gedruis. Baie mooi omgewing. Die braai geriewe is perfek, as die weer mooi is, en die bure gedra hulle. Ongelukkig kon ons nie buite sit en die rustigheid geniet nie. Die bure in die aanliggende erf het tot laat geraas. Die swembad en speletjie-kamer reg langs die grensmuur kan 'n probleem wees.

Very comfortable and well located. Clean and tidy. Owners very concerned about our comfort.

Very nice place to stay. Well located, and just far enough from the noise. Very nice environment. The braai facilities are perfect, if the weather is nice, and the neighbors behave. Unfortunately we couldn't sit outside and enjoy the tranquility. The neighbors in the adjacent yard made noise until late. The pool and game room right next to the boundary wall can be a problem.

Heerlik ontspannend.

Ons het baie lekker daar gekuier en die plekkie was pragtig, netjies en kindervriendelik. Plek was ook buite veilig gemaak en toe sodat die kleintjies vrylik kon beweeg sonder om ingeperk te voel, so mamma en pappa se hart was baie gerus. Het ook die vriendelikste diens ontvang! Baie dankie Denise.

Lieflike woonstel, baie netjies en gerieflik. Die gasvrou was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons kon strand toe stap en in die water plaas met my dogtertjie wat 3 jaar oud is. Ons het dit gebruik as 'n oornagstop tussen Kaapstad en De Hoop en dit het perfek gewerk.

Baie dankie vir jou positiewe resensie. Nadat julle vertrek het, het ons huishouding 'n ernstige krisis beleef met my gade wat tydens sy herstel van die kolon operasie boonop covid opgedoen het. Dit was net genade van bo dat hy en ons dit oorleef het. Ons het Rest a While onmiddellik na julle vertrek gesluit en besprekings gekanseleer om op die persoonlike krisis te fokus. Alles is egter nou weer terug na normaal en ek hoop om julle weer by Rest a While te kan ontvang iewers in die toekoms.

Rustig en netjies.

Ons wou net oorslaap vir die aand en het gevolglik nie baie vereistes gehad nie. Ons was egter aangenaam verras deur die netheid en ruimte van die eenheid. Dit het alles geriewe en selfs 'n baie lekker ruim buite-braai. Al wat kort is die see-uitsig dan was dit 'n vyf uit vyf ontspanningsplek. Troos is dat, as die TV af is, jy die see kan hoor. Baie dankie, Denise. Ons het lekker gebly.

Quiet and tidy.

We just wanted to sleep over for the night and therefore didn't have many requirements. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and space of the unit. It has all facilities and even a very nice and spacious outdoor barbecue. All that is missing is the sea view then it was a five out of five relaxation place. Comfort is that, when the TV is off, you can hear the sea. Thank you very much, Denise. We had a nice stay.

Gemak en gasvryheid.

Behalwe die puik akkommodasie en persoonlike aandag van 'n voortreflike gasvrou, het ons die kuier-/braai-area geniet. Insiggewende gesprekke met Gerhard die gasheer en skrywer van die Elfde Gebod, wat ek gekoop en puik leesstof was. Daar was verskeie raakpunte in terme van verlies en dat ons beide van Fochville kom. Ek sal Rest a While ten sterkste aanbeveel vir die ontspanne atmosfeer en sentrale ligging in terme van toeriste aantreklikhede.

Comfort and hospitality.

Besides the great accommodation and personal attention from an excellent hostess, we enjoyed the social/barbecue area. Informative conversations with Gerhard the host and author of the Eleventh Commandment, which I bought and was great reading. There were several points of contact in terms of loss and that we both come from Fochville. I would highly recommend Rest a While for the relaxed atmosphere and central location in terms of tourist attractions.

Ongelooflike gasvryheid!

Gerhard en Denise het ons so welkom laat voel in hulle uiters goed toegeruste eenheid. Denise het ons voor die tyd op hoogte gehou van die tipe weer wat ons kan verwag. Die eenheid self is so 'n heerlike blyplekkie wat alles het wat jy moontlik kan nodig kry en soveel meer, van elektriese komberse tot warmwater-sakke vir die Kaapse koue. Wanneer ons weer Gansbaai toe gaan, sal ons beslis weer by hulle wil tuisgaan!

Incredible hospitality!

Gerhard and Denise made us feel so welcome in their extremely well equipped unit. Denise kept us informed ahead of time of the type of weather we could expect. The unit itself is such a lovely place to stay that has everything you could possibly need and so much more, from electric blankets to hot water bags for the Cape cold. When we go to Gansbaai again, we will definitely want to stay with them again!

Dit was so rustig en ons kon die ruimte geniet om stil en rustend te wees.

Ons het met die doel gegaan om te rus en sommer net bietjie tyd vir refleksie te maak. Ons kon as gevolg van die rustigheid en vrede in en om die ruimte dit doen! Vriendelike ontvangs, netjies en gerieflik, was baie lekker.

Fantastiese gasvryheid met warm atmosfeer van die kus.

Ek is bitter gelukkig om die diamant van 'n gastehuisie te ontdek het op ons reis na 'n trou destinasie toe. Denise het die oomblik wat ons gegroet is tot die oomblik waar ons vertrek het met die warmste gasvryheid verwelkom. Ons was teruggevat met die waarde wat ons ontvang het vir die spotgoedkoop prys wat ons betaal het. Doen jouself 'n guns en trek in by Rest a While jy sal nie verkeerd loop nie.

Perfect for tranquility.

We were welcomed to the spotless and well equipped ground floor apartment by the lovely hostess and her husband. The fresh decor is tastefully chosen to create a very relaxed atmosphere where you can happily spend quiet time. It was a good place to stay and enjoy the surrounding area of Gansbaai. Highly recommend this little retreat for recharging the batteries and resting a while. Will definitely revisit.
