Maybe a back-up gas cooking plate for when the power goes out to boil water and cook. The hostess kindly assisted by boiling water for me.

the location was perfect and the hosts went beyond expectations to assist and make my stay as comfortable as possible.

Easy to find, quiet and secure, and very convenient for the beach. Very pleasant outdoor facilities, and great for a sundowner.

Nothing to Moan about.

We loved the garden setting and the privacy of the cottage..The beds are comfortable - my priority ! Our hosts, Margie and Christopher, were phenomenal: they are friendly and always at hand to advise on activities to help you maximise your experience and they are uber attentive to your needs. The beach is a stone’s throw away, there’s a local park where crafters set up and families picnic. A beach bar is Spoils like receiving a Welcome Lindt choc, a well-stocked coffee bar, having your braai area prepared, bringing in another fan just because we commented on the humidity, checking in to assess whether our happiness meter was still at full blast etc - made our stay a good experience. We adored them- they know how to be professional yet warm. We enjoyed our 4 days there.

Exceptional little hidden gem and fantastic hosts. Definitely a home away from home, surrounded by their beautiful garden. We loved our stay.

There was nothing that bothered us.

Personal attention from the owners who live on-site was very good. The braai with braai wood supplied was a bonus. They were very friendly and helpful.

Nothing....or perhaps the rain😉

We immediately were made to feel 100% part of the Rensburg's home & town!

There wasn’t anything not to like, it was quite delightful.

Marlin Cottage was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, very comfortable with a wonderful garden and outside sitting area, complete with ready laid braai. Only a few minutes walk from the beautiful beach and handy for local shops and restaurants and the petrol pump. But best of all were our wonderful hosts, Margie and Christopher, who were both so kind and attentive, making us feel totally at home. They were both really approachable and very good fun!

Nothing could have been better.

Our hosts were wonderful - very welcoming, and helpful. Willing to go the extra mile to make our stay memorable. We felt like old friends after 24 hours! Excellent location close to beach, lovely outdoor area and braai, with fire prepared by our host. The solar power was a bonus - we did not feel any effects of load-shedding.

All our needs were met beyond our expectations. Rating: 10/10

The hosts were very friendly and of great assistance. They were in the premises always, ensuring that our needs are met as guests & advising us of other places of interest we could visit at Chintsa and its surroundings.The Cottage was very neat and spacious. The undercover Braai area was well equipped, next to a beautiful flower garden.The beach was just close by, restaurants and shops were accessible. Everything was within a walking distance , no need to drive around. Marlin Cottage is suitable for all age groups if couples want a getaway sanctuary to relax and have a great time.

The green chairs are quite hard to sit on, not really a place to hang and relax on.

The couple who rents out the place are wonderful people. Beds are comfortable! If you like to braai, you have a part of the garden incl braai and seating area to yourself.
