Affordable.
Very neat and comfortable. A microwave oven would have been nice to heat something up quickly. A little trouble with hot water the last morning. Michelle was not at home, cleaner received us. Didn't meet Chris until the morning after. But otherwise, very nice visit.

Shell's Corner Cottage 's response
Hello Zelda,
Thank you for your review of our property. I am glad to read that you found the space neat and comfortable. We have now made a microwave oven available in the unit.
Grace, our helper was available on your day of arrival as I was away helping our daughter move house. As much as I always like to be available to meet and assist our guests, I made a point of communicating with you that I would be away, and throughout your stay, we were communicating via WhatsApp.
Regarding the hot water on your last day, I once again apologise for the short delay when we had to switch over the gas bottles.
All in all, thank you again for your review. We do hope to be able to welcome you back soon!
Warm Regards

Shell's Corner Cottage 's response
Thank you for your review of our space. We always enjoy feedback from our guests.
I am sorry to read that you found the bathroom impractical. We have designed it as such to allow for our physically disabled guests, who generally require more open and free space. Had you informed me that there was excess water in the bathroom, I would have been more than happy as your host to clean it up for you.
During the week of your stay, we had been experiencing many hours of load-shedding each day. It stands to reason then that without electricity we would experience a lack of basic services. The warm water, or lack thereof, was beyond our control but was rectified as early as possible the next morning.
In addressing your 3-stars relating to security. Our facility is situated in a very safe and secure neighbourhood. The accommodation itself has bars on the windows as well as a lockable trellidoor on the sliding door. We also have armed-response linked security beams which are switched on at night for added security. We are very aware that guests are security conscious and thus have taken the measures above.
Once again, we thank you for booking with us and for leaving your review.
Kind Regards,
Shell's Corner Cottage Knysna

I was disappointed because we had no cooking facilities and no cupboard or anything to put my clothes in. We had to live out of our suitcases.
Shell's Corner Cottage 's response
We are sorry that you were disappointed.
Our listing indicates a microwave oven only, which is what you were provided with in the room, as well as tea- and coffee-making facilities.
Our listing does not indicate that DStv is available for viewing - the application is available, provided you have your own code with you. We hope that you enjoyed the Netflix.
Your stay was in the Knysna budget stay, where we have gone to lengths to describe what the provisions in this facility are.

The living place/room is very nice, clean and tidy, but it is not well equipped for self-catering, we had to use the house's kitchen. There is a cottage with a fridge, stove etc. but other guests stayed there. The shower in the bathtub is not convenient for older people.

Shell's Corner Cottage 's response
Thanks for your review. We noted your security concern. Our listing does state that parking is on-street. Had you mentioned that you were not comfortable with this, we certainly would have made our lock-up garage available for your use during your stay (as we have done for prior guests). I am sure you gathered that our suburb is extremely safe and many of our neighbours also park on the street. Furthermore, the armed-response linked security beams are turned on at night for added security. Our dogs are kept indoors at night too and are very quick to alert us of any issues.
It was a pleasure meeting you and hope that we can look forward to welcoming you back soon!
