Fantastic location!

We had a great stay at the Shell House. The house is right on the beach, near a swimming spot among the rock pools.

The Shell House het die perfekte ligging vir 'n familie wat gemengde belangstellinge het - die manne kan gaan visvang te voet. Die jongmense kan speletjies speel op die stoep en die kinders kan baljaar op die strand.

Alles is baie naby en die sonsopkomste is absoluut bonatuurlik mooi! Ons het veral die moeite waardeer wat die eienaar doen om te help met "loadshedding". Daar is ligte in elke kamer en vertrek wat werk as die krag af is en die TV werk ook nog. Daar is ook 'n gasbottel vir vinnig iets aan die gang sit of aan die gang hou wanneer die krag af is. Die skulpversameling het ons vreeslik interesseer en al die boeke in die boekrak. Baie goeie gasheer en goeie diens.

The Shell House has the perfect location for a family with mixed interests - the men can go fishing on foot. The youngsters can play games on the veranda and the children can frolic on the beach.

Everything is very close and the sunrises are absolutely supernaturally beautiful! We especially appreciated the effort the owner makes to help with "loadshedding". There are lights in every room and room that work when the power is off and the TV still works. There is also a gas bottle for quickly starting something or keeping it going when the power is out. The shell collection interested us terribly and all the books in the bookshelf. Very good host and good service.

Gemaklike, goed bestuurde eiendom met pragtige seeuitsig.

Die kombuis is uiters goed toegerus en die binne-braai is heerlik vir reënerige dae. Slaapkamers is gemaklik met heelwat kasspasie. Die kroon van die huis is egter die stoep met heerlike see-uitsig - dit voel of jy aan die water kan raak. Dankie, Wessel, vir jou wonderlike gasvryheid. Ons het heerlik gebly.

The kitchen is extremely well equipped and the indoor barbecue is great for rainy days. Bedrooms are comfortable with plenty of cupboard space. The crown of the house, however, is the veranda with a lovely sea view - it feels like you can touch the water. Thank you, Wessel, for your wonderful hospitality. We had a wonderful stay.

Absolute puik.

Uiters netjiese akkommodasie met 'n fantastiese ligging en pragtige uitsig. The Shell House is die ideale vakansiehuis vir 'n gesin met tieners. Oorgenoeg en uiters gerieflike slaapplek, badkamers en leefruimtes sorg dat almal 'n ontspanne seevakansie kan geniet. Letterlik net 'n paar kort treetjies tot op die strand vanaf die heerlike kuierstoep met sy pragtige uitsig oor die dolfyne, walvisse en branderplankryers. As jy daarvan hou om te gaan slaap en weer wakker te word met die gedruis van die see in jou ore, is The Shell House beslis die plek waar jy jou skoene kan gaan uitskop. Wessel, baie dankie vir die voorreg om jou huis te kon geniet. Jy is 'n puik gasheer - ons sien jou beslis weer vorentoe!

If you like to go to sleep and wake up with the roar of the sea in your ears, The Shell House is definitely the place to kick off your shoes.

Die ideale vakansiehuis!

Die huis is ideaal vir 'n naweek se wegbreek of vir 'n langer vakansie. Die ligging is die grootste pluspunt, feitlik op die strand, en die uitsig ongelooflik. Die huis is gerieflik, met alles wat 'n mens nodig het, skoon en netjies versorg. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en daar is deurgaans kom verneem of ons iets nodig het. Ons sal beslis weer bespreek!

The house is ideal for a weekend getaway or for a longer holiday. The location is the biggest plus, practically on the beach, and the view incredible.
