Old, but not cold.

The property is well equipped and makes for a comfortable stay. Although a bit dated, the location is superb and appeals to people with a strong affinity to being close to water. Watching the tide come and go is very relaxing. Smell of the sea and sound of gulls add to the ambiance. Jacuzzi not working due to water shortage in the Eastern Cape.

Disappointed.

We booked Water Edge and paid deposit, only to be advised that place are booked and we were moved to alternative venue Bluewater Bay Inn, not close to the beach/water that was important to us. Three days prior to arrival, we received call from owner advising that 2nd venue has also been double booked and were offered a 3rd alternate venue which at the time we had no choice to accept given the short notice. We made the best of the time there, but all in all disappointed.

Not what was promised.

After I confirmed by phone with the owner that the accommodation was for 2 adults and 3 teenage boys, as on the booking form, there were only 2 double beds available on arrival. The owner then argued with my husband that she never spoke to me on the phone and that she thought the accommodation was for 4 people even though he showed her the booking form where it clearly states that we are 5 people. The third "room" where she wanted to put a bed is not a room at all and very dangerous for children to sleep in because it is basically a space above the stairs. She arranged for a single bed to be placed by the front door, which is not ideal at all. The floor between the upper floor and the house is not insulated and you hear every sound from above. Because of this noise and the noise of cars from the N2 which is right at the house, sleep is not possible.

Ongelooflik lekker privaat en veilig!

Julie van Waters Edge is 'n pragtige mens om mee besigheid te doen van aankoms tot vertrek was niks vir haar te moeilik of onmoontlik om te doen nie. Sy is hardwerkend en vriendelik, haar plekkie is 'n plesier om in te bly. Ons is so dankbaar dat die geleentheid opgekom het en sal vorentoe weer van Waters Edge gebruik maak.

Incredibly private and safe!

Julie is a lovely person to do business with. From our arrival to our departure nothing was too difficult for her to handle. She is diligent, friendly en what a pleasure to stay there. We are so grateful for the opportunity and would make use of Waters Edge again in the future.

Die ligging is uitstekend maar die plek is nie wat die webblad belowe nie, baie teleurgesteld.

Die webblad beloof 3 slaapkamers, maar net 2 beskikbaar met 1 enkelbed voor die voordeur en 1 bo losstaande op die trappe. Die boonste vlak was gesluit. Eienaar se seun bly glo daar. Matte vuil, braaiplek en stoep kort ernstig aandag, gordyne gehawend.

The location is excellent but the place is not what the website promises, very disappointed.

The website promises 3 bedrooms, but only 2 available with 1 single bed in front of the front door and 1 upstairs detached on the stairs. The upper level was closed. Owner's son apparently lives there. Carpets dirty, braai area and porch seriously in need of attention, curtains battered.

Puik en sal Water Edge bemark/aanbeveel.

5 Ster en waarde vir geld asook wonderlik geleë en sal beslis weer bespreek as ek in PE is. Alreeds besig om vriende wat beplan om PE toe te gaan, te oorreed om van Water Edge gebruik te maak. Baie dankie, ons waardeer die diens.

Home away from home!

Ons het baie lekker gebly by Waters Edge, en sal dit hoogs aanbeveel. Dit is lekker ruim met al die geriewe waaraan jy kan dink. Dit is ook naby die see en swemstrand, en by die lagoon vir visvang.

We had a great stay at Waters Edge, and would highly recommend it. It is nice and spacious with all the amenities you can think of. It is also close to the sea and swimming beach, and to the lagoon for fishing.

Rus en vrede!

Ons ondervinding was dat die gasvrou uit haar pad uit gegaan het om ons so gemaklik as moontlik gemaak het. Dit was "Home away from Home" met die bonus van die see.

Owners were excellent and went out of their way to make sure I felt welcome.

The place was clean, the owners were friendly and incredibly welcoming. I was overwhelmed with the service. I went during the World Cup so the fact that this accommodation was no more than 9km from the stadium was a real bonus. Amenities were fairly close so that enabled me to look after my own catering. If I ever return to Port Elizabeth again, I would definitely go through these guys again.
