    Loved the house, very close to the beach. Maybe fans in the bedrooms would be a bonus to add.

    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.

    Comfortable

    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 bottom bathroom didn't have toilet paper and the light did not work. There was no basics like salt/sugar for a self-catering unit.

    So close to the beach, it was lovely to see the sunset! Electric blankets were a lifesaver for winter nights and the bathtub upstairs was lovely way to unwind! There was satellite TV so we could watch the game and motoGP :)

    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.

    Inaccurate instructions on how to deactivate the alarm - the security company came twice even though we had followed instructions.

    Comfortable beds and a large fireplace. Easy access to the beach nearby - good for long walks

    The cottage had everything that was needed but the shabby chic look is rather tired and needs refurbishing. The lounge seats are really uncomfortable to sit and watch TV. Everything that is used on a regular basis is clean like crockery, pans, bed linens and towels but sorry to say it needed a good clean underneath. The lampshades are really dusty, all the woodwork needs cleaning and the bedside and bathroom mats needed washing. The kitchen sink and cooker area had lovely copper fitting that were sticky and would look beautiful polished. We also thought the stairs would be better with a handrail and the 2 bedrooms needed plug outlets that you could get to for your hairdryer and cell and laptops.

    My friend and I really liked the fact that it was a self-contained cottage with 2 double bedrooms with one upstairs. The beds were comfortable and the linens clean. Only a stone's throw from the lovely beach to go for long walks and beautiful views. We visited 5 restaurants for brunch and dinners and enjoyed them all. We found the Paternoster people really friendly and chatty. Overall, we enjoyed the break. The security company are really good and it made us feel safe.

    Although it is a self catering unit, we found it slightly ill equipped for self catering. We found the pots and pans available for self catering were not adequate - to make some Jungle Oats or to keep the meat in with a braai. There was no real space to store groceries and the kettle area to keep tea and coffee etc was very small. We only spent 2 nights there so we could manage but if you were to stay longer it would be a real challenge.

    The location was lovely and very close to the beach although there is not much of a sea view. It is a quaint unit. The dishwasher was a real bonus! When we reported the lights not working and the downstairs shower drain was blocked, it was dealt with very efficiently for which we were very grateful.

    Unfortunately there is a lot of vagrants / street people around.. we had one jump our wall.. and enter into the house even ! Did not feel safe!, but the house is very nicely kept and has everything you need It is just unfortunate about the vagrants..

    House was well equipped , would rate it a 9/10 .. if it wasn’t for the vagrants!

    Cottage in need of a little TLC. Bedding was a little tired. Upstairs walls are a bit mouldy from the bathroom steam.

    Lovely cozy cottage close to beach. Loved the big fireplace. Loved Paternoster!
