    The sink area as well as the entrance door has some rot. The upstairs room has no door (open plan works, but no real privacy.

    Proximity to the beach. In the water after a 25m walk from the gate of the property.

    Smelled like sod when we walked in. Dirty behind bed. Electric blanket not plugged in and not working. Couch "deur gesit." No soap, shampoo or blitz, matches. Blanket on the couch was dirty. At least get grey clothes to cover ottoman and table. Trelidor at front door hard to work with and hole in front door.

    Situated near beach. Unique furniture. Great bath and showers.

    Overall, the accommodation and letting agency was excellent. I would definitely stay again.

    Both beds really should have an electric blanket (I took hot water bottles so wasn't a problem) but this inconsistency could be a problem for other guests. The fireplace helped to heat the lounge and kitchen, but no heaters in the other rooms on such a cold weekend was difficult. Please put rugs in the bedrooms at points where you need to be barefooted (next to bed and in changing area. The cold, hard floors were unnecessarily uncomfortable. The main bedroom's wardrobe had a very unpleasant strong musty smell - I did not want to put my clothes in there. We could not lock the front door and then the next day managed to lock it, but then could not unlock it when trying to get back in. It was explained that the wood had likely expanded due to heavy rainfall, and that made perfect sense. The staff at the letting agency were brilliant - very helpful and acted straight away to solve the issue. There was a cell number I could call and help came quickly which I deeply appreciated.

    The cottage had a cozy, quirky feel to it. Loved the large fireplace, which as it was pretty cold was a life saver. Close to the beach. Felt very safe. Beautiful comfortable furnishings. One bed had electric blanket, which was helpful in the cold. Amazing shower and bath. Very friendly and quick service from all staff. Easy to find.

    The house is very cold as it does not get much sun. Would’ve been great if there were more blankets - we were cold at night. Furnishing the place with a few rugs will make a big difference.

    Location, being able to bring our pet, the big fireplace, privacy, distance to beach

    Need salad bowels, couldn’t use big frying pan as it is rusted. Needs to be fumigated, hardly slept, at night there are baby cockroaches everywhere, on walls by upstairs bedroom. Especially behind the headboard. Never had this problem with our first stay.

    The couch is a bit grubby and not too comfortable.... needs to have some repairs. Could do with another comfy chair. Surfaces clean but could do with things being moved and cleaned. Didn't like the dirty braai being in the lounge. It took up space and blocked access to the only available power point in the living area.

    Although there is no sea view, it is just a very short walk to a lovely beach. The cottage is very picturesque and lovely and quiet at night. It is a sweet blend of convenience with beach rustic charm.

    The unit needs alot of attention. The kitchen needs a revamp, the wood around the basin needs to be removed and replaced.

    It's very comfortable and near the sea. It's a very spacious and relaxing cottage

    The kitchen is a bit sparely equipped and the top next to the basin very small and old. We missed some basic spices, matches and candles. Even though we only stayed 2 nights, simple things like Toilet paper or dish washing tabs are somewhat tightly calculated.

    We enjoyed the quiet location and close distance to the beach.
