Awesome will be back.

Lovely little house ideal for 4-person family. The welcome mats inside need to be replaced. Other than that, awesome place, clean and comfortable. Thank you cleaning staff for a job well done.

Vir my was dit 'n vermorsing van geld. Ons moes ongelukkig aanbly of ons geld.

Oulike huis. Maar dis nie 50m van die see soos die advertensie laat blyk nie, maar eerder oor 100m. Die huis was nie skoon nie. Onhigiëniese kombuislappe. Onder die mat was vol vullis. Agter die TV-kassie was vuil. Die verwelkomingsmat aan die binnekant van die voordeur was vuil. Die area langs die buitebraai was vol vuil kolle. Onder die voetrak in die hoofbadkamer was vuil. Dit is hartseer dat eienaars so met alles wegkom en ons as besoekers nie beskerm word nie. Gewone mense spaar vir 'n vakansie, dan moet mens tevrede wees met dit.

To me it was a waste of money. Unfortunately we had to stay or our money.

Cute house. But it's not 50m from the sea as the advertisement suggests, but rather over 100m. The house was not clean. Unhygienic kitchen cloths. Under the carpet was full of garbage. Behind the TV cabinet was dirty. The welcome mat on the inside of the front door was dirty. The area next to the outdoor barbecue was full of dirty spots. Under the footboard in the master bathroom was dirty. It is sad that owners get away with everything and we as visitors are not protected. Ordinary people save for a vacation, then one has to be satisfied with that.

Pleasant, short stay close to beach. The house is adequate except for the things mentioned below. It must be a good spot for a family during summertime.

Kitchen utensils, like the bread board need renewing. Area between stove and cupboard/fridge needs good clean. Decorative cushions on beds and couch are stained and moldy. They need thorough washing or renewing.

Lovely home close to the sea.

We had a pleasant stay at the House. Would have appreciated some candles or lamps to use while load shedding. Would also have appreciated more attention to detail when cleaning the place before we arrived. But overall we enjoyed our stay.

Nice stay.

The location was good, but security aspect bothered us a bit. There were also a few things that could be looked at, for example the sink in the master bedroom en-suite bathroom which was cracked and things we pointed out to the agency. Must make extra mention of Edith at the agency's extremely friendly service.

Lekker wegbreeknaweek met uitsig op die see en mooi sonsondergange.

Die beskutte stoep met die braai en onbelemmerde uitsig op die see was 'n hoogtepunt.

Great spot and location.

The little house was more than we expected and the view from the house is amazing, which you can actually not see in the photos. The one thing that did bother us was the indoor fireplace which did not seem to draw properly and we kept on having to open the windows to let the smoke out, even though we had dry wood. Not sure if the chimney needs cleaning or not, but this was irritating with the cold weather. Otherwise, we were very happy with the amenities.

Heerlik gekuier, kaggel baie handig in die winter, stoep ideaal.

Sal aanbeveel dat hul 'n gasplaatstoof in die huis sit, daar is baie kragonderbrekings en dan is daar geen manier om koffie of kos te maak.

Fantasties.

Teslyn was oppit en als het seepglad verloop. Wag net op die terugbetaling van my deposito, ons het niks gebreek of verniel nie. Ons het regtig lekker gebly in Sonkwassie. Alles het gewerk (ons het nie TV gekyk nie). Al wat ek sou voorstel is digter gordyne in die hoofslaapkamer. Die straatligte is nogal lastig en miskien 'n lekker platboom ysterpot waarin mens die gaar braaivleis kan warm hou of selfs 'n potjie kan bymekaar sit. Kan daar niks gedoen word aan die klomp kreefsmouse nie? Hulle is inderdaad lastig. Een het selfs my vrou by die trappe op agterna geloop tot by die voordeur en wou eenvoudig nie nee vir 'n antwoord vat nie. Hy het darem koers gevat toe hy my sien. Dis nie klagtes nie, net opmerkings.

Fantastic.

Teslyn was up and everything went smoothly. Just waiting for the refund of my deposit, we didn't break or destroy anything. We really enjoyed our stay in Sonkwassie. Everything worked (we didn't watch TV). All I would suggest is tighter curtains in the master bedroom. The street lights are quite troublesome and maybe a nice flat-bottomed iron pot in which you can keep the cooked braai meat warm or even put together a pot. Can nothing be done about the bunch of lobster peddlers? They are indeed troublesome. One even followed my wife up the stairs to the front door and simply wouldn't take no for an answer. At least he took a course when he saw me. These are not complaints, just comments.

Pragtige knus huisie in 'n salige buurt en lekker naby aan die see.

Ons het 'n lieflike tydjie by die huisie gehad en het eintlik maar net gewens dat ons selfs langer daar kon spandeer. Daar is 'n pragtige strand en dit is 'n baie vreedsame buurt. Die huisie self het baie lekker karakter en is mooi versorg.

Peaceful and relaxing.

Location was perfect, could see the sea from the upper terrace in the morning with your first cup of coffee. Only thing was Friday night, the neighbours behind somewhere had terrible music playing from about 10 pm till early hours of morning with people shouting. Not sure if anyone was sent to quiet them, but it wasn't pleasant as we came to rest and enjoy the peaceful surrounding. But happy to say it was peaceful on Saturday evening and the well equipped place made up for the unruly neighbours.

Heerlik rustig, met alles wat nodig is.

Wat 'n wonderlike, rustige huisie met smaakvolle, landelike atmosfeer. Daar is iets van alles om gemaklik vir 'n week weg te breek. Neem net jou eie skottelgoedseep, skottelgoedsponsie, lyfseep, sjampoe en haardroër saam. Kort stappie tot op die strand. Die duin voor die huisie steek die strand weg as jy op voorstoep staan, maar jy sien en hoor wel die see. Huisie is redelik naby die restaurante en 1 kafee winkeltjie (heerlike verrassings hier te koop) - goeie stappie vir die wat wil voete klap gedurende die dag. Dis wel jammer dat die ou lewe selfs op Paternoster van jou versoek om die huisie se alarm te aktiveer as jy uitgaan. Die dae van oop deure en vensters is ongelukkig verby. Jou selfoon, juwele ens. sal beslis voete kry.

Wonderfully peaceful, with everything you need.

What a wonderful, peaceful cottage with tasteful, country atmosphere. There is something of everything to comfortably break away for a week. Just bring your own dish soap, dish sponge, body soap, shampoo and hair dryer. Short walk to the beach. The dune in front of the house hides the beach when you stand on the front porch, but you do see and hear the sea. House is quite close to the restaurants and 1 cafe shop (delicious surprises for sale here) - good walk for those who want to clap their feet during the day. It's a shame that the old life even on Paternoster asks you to activate the house's alarm when you go out. The days of open doors and windows are sadly over. Your mobile phone, jewelery etc. will definitely get feet.

Baie lekker, veilig en goeie ligging.

Baie lekker plekkie en naby die see. Baie lekker huis uitleg en binne en buite kaggels om die koue weg te hou. Ons het baie lekker gekuier, gebraai, kreef en mossels geëet. Die mense wat kreef verkoop het min gepla nadat ons gekoop het. Die omliggende dele is net so mooi. All in all - dit was 'n baie lekker naweek gewees.

Die plekkie is lekker en ruim, maar die sitkamer se kaggel trek nie voldoende nie en laat baie rook in die huis.

Dit was lekker maar daar was baie mense wat jou kom pla en op ons laaste dag, terwyl ons besig was om op te pak, het 'n skelm persoon my verloofde se verloofring en nog 'n ring gesteel terwyl hy maak asof hy mossels verkoop het. Daar sal iets gedoen moet word aan die misdaad daar.

Een sin kan dit eintlik nie beskryf nie, maar nou ja, dit was FANTASMAGORIES (soos Paula sê)

Dis 'n asemrowende plek met 'n wonderlike natuurskoon. Dis 'n ontspaningsplek vir oud en jonk, waar jy kan vergeet van die stad se gejaag. Ek sal wil langer vertoef as net 'n naweek, maar miskien volgende jaar. Ek sal enige persoon aanraai om Paternoster te ervaar.
