I enjoyed my stay with no problems.

We had a good and pleasant break, with the sound of the waves. It was a nice and cosy place, with a serene surrounding of plants, pool, and sea.

Sleg.

Ons het nie eers daar geslaap nie nadat ons daar ingery het en gesien het hoe die plek van buite lyk. Ek wil nie eens die binnekant sien nie. Het maar ander verblyf geboek.

Bad.

We didn't even sleep there after driving in and seeing how the place looked from the outside. I don't even want to see the inside. Just booked other accommodation.

Fantasties.

Hierdie is 'n juweel van 'n blyplek. Dit is rustig, eie, veilig, met 'n strand en vriendelike mense. Sal enige tyd teruggaan.

The stay was not 60% good.

We stayed for three days, but our rooms were not cleaned until we left. At least they must skip one day and clean. The towels were wet and dirty on the third day. The pool was dirty. We could not swim in it.

Hello Nozipho,
Thank you for taking the time to write this review for us. Your comments help us to rectify any problems that may arise. Our staff clean the units from Monday to Friday and Saturday mornings. They do not work on Sundays and public holidays. We change our towels every three days. Towels are strictly for bathing. Guests have to bring their own towels for swimming. Recently, we have been experiencing excessive rains, which have caused havoc on the swimming pools. It takes time to clear the water again after such occurrences. Apologies for any discomfort caused.
Regards,
Loraine

Vir 'n oornag is dit voldoende.

Dit het my gepla dat ons 'n paniekknoppie moes hê. Die eienaar was ook nie gelukkig met die feit dat ek nie die R500 breekskade wou betaal nie. As gaste langer as een nag oorbly, is die fasiliteite onvoldoende. Die ligging maak egter op vir tekortkominge.

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

For an overnight stay it is sufficient.

It bothered me that we had to have a panic button. The owner was also not happy with the fact that I did not want to pay the R500 damage. If guests stay longer than one night, the facilities are inadequate. However, the location makes up for shortcomings.

Asemrowende uitsig oor die see.

Die uitsig was asemrowend. Hulle het vinnig gereageer op versoeke. Eenheid 5 en 6 se tussendeur kon ons oopsluit vir 'n lekker heen-en-weer gekuier. Unit 6 het die lekkerste buite kuierarea waar ons elke aand gekuier het. Unit 3 was toe nie traploos soos gevra is voor bespreking vir my moeder nie. Die grootste nadeel was dat hul die water afgesit het smiddags van 12:00 - 17:00 en saans van 21:00 - 6:00. Wat beteken dat mens nie die toilet kan deurspoel of handewas nie, wat nogals onhigiënies is.

Breathtaking view of the sea.

The view was breathtaking. They responded quickly to requests. We were able to unlock the middle door of Unit 5 and 6 for a nice visit back and forth. Unit 6 has the nicest outside hangout area where we hung out every night. Unit 3 was then not stepless as was requested before booking for my mother. The biggest disadvantage was that they turned off the water in the afternoon from 12:00 - 17:00 and in the evening from 21:00 - 6:00. Which means that you cannot flush the toilet or wash your hands, which is quite unhygienic.

Ons het lekker gebly en die gasvrou het ons baie tuis laat voel.

Ons het 'n mooi uitsig oor die see gehad. Alhoewel ons nie daar kon swem nie, kon ons lekker op die rotse klouter. Die gasvrou en die personeel wat daar werk, was baie vriendelik en ons kon lekker kuier.

We had a nice stay and the hostess made us feel very much at home.

We had a nice view of the sea. Although we couldn't swim there, we could climb the rocks. The hostess and the staff working there were very friendly and we had a great time.

I enjoyed my stay at the place with my family. It was clean and they offered everything that we needed in their inventory.

Very displeased with how the owner welcomed me, she did not inform me of their office closure times, the next thing she called screaming and shouting at me. It was such a horrible experience for a guest that has never been in the place. However, despite the horrible welcome, I was comforted with the cleanliness of our rooms. Good space for a family getaway. Also not impressed with them not sharing wi-fi passwords with their guests, somewhat old-school.

Thank you for your review. The lady you spoke to was the receptionist. There was no screaming or shouting. We did not inform you about the office hours as that was not ours. We would have made the Wi-Fi available if you had requested it. Stay safe take care.

Excellent service and very nice place to stay. Very relaxing and the view is breathtaking. We stayed in Unit 1 very, very nice view.

For me as a fishing guy there are very good spots in walking distance. Close to wild coast and shad run on its best.

Bekostigbare blyplek.

Uitsig is fantasties, loopafstand na die strand. Strand baie netjies en privaat wat dit baie awesome maak. Blyblek netjies en klein, net reg vir 2 mense al sê dit slaap 2 grootmense en 2 kinders in nommer 5 wat aan ons gegee is. Moet nie enige iets op stoep buite los oornag nie want dit sal nie daar wees die volgende oggend as jy opstaan nie. Water is 'n probleem op die oomblik , so jy moet bereid wees om te wag vir die pomp om aangeskakel te word 2 keer 'n dag. Anders het ons baie lekker gerus en die rustigheid van die see geniet.

Affordable accommodation.

View is fantastic, walking distance to the beach. Beach very neat and private which makes it very awesome. Remains neat and small, just right for 2 people even though it says 2 adults and 2 children sleep in number 5 which was given to us. Don't leave anything on the porch overnight because it won't be there the next morning when you get up. Water is a problem at the moment, so you have to be prepared to wait for the pump to be turned on 2 times a day. Otherwise we rested very well and enjoyed the tranquility of the sea.

Absoluut onveilig. Baie gevaarlik. Sal nie aanbeveel nie.

Ons kar was in die middel van die aand by ingebreek en is amper gesteel. Gelukkig het die voertuig in die modder vasgesit. Selfone, beursies, sleutels, bankkaarte gesteel. Die hek staan 24/7 wawyd oop, enige iemand kan inry en instap. Vreemde mense het na middernag aan die chalet se deure kom klop, net vreemde mense wat instap. Daar was ook 'n geval wat 'n sekuriteitsmaatskapp 'n dief wat by die huis langsaan ingebreek het, voor ons chalet verby gehardloop het opsoek na die dief. 'n Polisie beampte het ook bevestig dat daar in die verlede baie gevalle was waar inbrekers deur die Lighthouse Inn se gronde weghardloop vir polisie. Baie gevaarlik, sal nie aanbeveel nie.

Absolutely unsafe. Very dangerous. Would not recommend.

Our car was broken into in the middle of the night and almost stolen. Fortunately, the vehicle got stuck in the mud. Mobile phones, wallets, keys, bank cards stolen. The gate is wide open 24/7, anyone can drive in and walk in. Strange people came knocking on the chalet's doors after midnight, just strange people walking in. There was also a case where a security company ran past a thief who broke into the house next door before our chalet looking for the thief. A police officer also confirmed that in the past there were many cases where burglars ran away from the police through the Lighthouse Inn's grounds. Very dangerous, would not recommend.
