Wat 'n voorreg om by hierdie plekkie te kon tuisgaan.

Die uitsig is asemrowend, die mense is opregte, vriendelike en trotse Suid-Afrikaners. Ons is dankbaar vir al die kennis en prag van die omgewing wat Andre en Judith met ons gedeel het. Ons het sommer dadelik tuis gevoel in die skoon en smaakvolle woonstel.

Ons het slegs 1 aand oorgebly. Vriendelik ontvang deur eienaar wie 'n deeglike kennis van die omgewing het.

Baie veilig en rustige blyplek. Trappe nogal 'n uitdaging vir ouer persone, asook as jy redelik bagasie het. Die eenheid is netjies en goed toegerus. Gansbaai en omliggende strandgebiede is pragtig, wens ons het meer tyd gehad om meer van die omgewing te sien.

Vriendelik, skoon en gemaklik.

Ons gewone akkommodasie was onbeskikbaar. Whale of a Time was die alternatief. Die plek is perfek vir 2 persone, dit is 'n ruim oopplan-kamer, -sitkamer, en -kombuis. Glad nie beknop nie. Die badkamer is apart en daar is 'n lekker groot stoep met 'n ketelbraai en gedeeltelike see-uitsig. Ons sal weer daar oorbly.

Ons het baie lekker gebly.

Ek sal net voorstel dat besoekers gewaarsku word dat die wooneenheid se trap baie baie styl en gevaarlik is. Die eienaar was self nie bereid om daarop te klim nie. Vir jongmense is dit sekerlik geen probleem nie, maar vir ouer mense is dit vir seker, veral wanneer al jou bagasie boontoe en weer ondertoe gedra moet word.

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

We had a very nice stay.

I would only suggest that visitors be warned that the unit's staircase is very very steep and dangerous. The owner himself was not willing to get on it. For young people this is certainly no problem, but for older people it is for sure, especially when all your luggage has to be carried up and down again.

Uitstekende ligging, asemrowende uitsig, lekker vakansieverblyf.

Verblyf in dié selfsorgwoonstel voel soos 'n tuiskoms. Die eienaars, Andre en Judith, is warm en gasvry en het my onmiddellik welkom laat voel. Die woonstel het 'n uitstekende ligging en mooi uitsig oor die see. 'n Veilige baaiplek is binne loopafstand en dis omring deur pragtige natuurskoon. Die woonstel is netjies, gerieflik en goed toegerus. Daar's vele mooi vakansiebestemmings naby wat verken kan word.

The apartment is neat, comfortable and well equipped. There are many beautiful holiday destinations nearby that can be explored.

Die beste gasvryheid van die eienaars. Die plekkie is baie netjies en ten volle toegerus.

Dit is so rustig om net te kan ontspan. Die eienaars voel soos ou vriende en die troeteldiere skep 'n atmosfeer van 'n huis weg van die huis af. Die uitsig is ongelooflik en mens kan amper die hele dag net op die dek sit. Baie goeie WiFi-ontvangs. Veilige parkering.

The best hospitality from the owners. The place is very neat and fully equipped.

It's so peaceful to just relax. The owners feel like old friends and the pets create an atmosphere of a home away from home. The view is incredible and you can almost sit on the deck all day. Very good WiFi reception. Secure parking.

Met ons aankoms het Andre Voster wat die gasheer is ons baie hartlik verwelkom. Ons het komplimentêre koffie en beskuit gekry wat heerlik was. Die blyplek was skoon en netjies en die rustige gevoel het sommer net oor 'n mens gekom.

Overall stay was okay.

Very nice accommodation, people were very friendly. Stayed until a Monday, was a bit noisy in the morning as the dogs were barking and someone was sounded like working in the garden. The rest was peaceful. Oven did not work, could not bake anything. Alarm was a bit of a pain being put on before we went to bed. Went off while we were getting something out the car.

Die uitsig was asemrowend. Ons het werklik ontspan en die verblyf was baie mooi en netjies. Die lekkerste was om elke oggend daai gordyne oop te maak en die pragtige uitsig te kon beleef. Ons het dadelik welkom gevoel. Ons sal definitief weer daar gaan bly in die toekoms.
