    The only thing that could be improved is some of the pillows, they were a little lumpy.

    It was absolutely superb. Rob was a fabulous host. The house has a fantastic view and was perfect for our needs.

    The house/furniture needs a bit of TLC :-) - Also, if you book the 2-bedroom apartment, be advised that both bedrooms have a double bed each.

    180-degree view of the ocean, simply stunning! Walking distance to beach and shops. Everything you need. Helpful manager (Rob), offers great advice on local amenities and beaches/beach activities/wind conditions.

    Amazing views, sounds of ocean, beach and shops close by - great overall but needs better upkeep.

    Old and worn out beds, sheets, pillows, & towels. The kitchen lacks a full crockery set, no proper bowls, no soap or hand wash. Driveway is steep but was able to drive up in the rain fine. Note that apartment for 4 persons deck is shared with the managers apartment partially separated by a dark tall wind breaker material and there is another decked apartment on the floor above, but was not a problem. The place just requires a bit of TLC but still enjoyed the stay!

    Amazing view over the ocean, friendly and helpful manager, braai on the deck, gas stove top (no oven), spacious area, location is close to shops and beach. The apartment is pet friendly and the deck has a gate that can be closed.

    Didnt know that there will be other people because it is advertised as entire holiday home and not as apartments, if they can just clearly specify that the host stays on the premises.

    The host Rob was very helpfull and friendly.Loved the view of the beach and the deck area

    I was happy with every bit that was available to me. The only thing that was a bit out of tune was the wifi, I tried to watch a movie via my TVBox but was buffering the complete movie where sometimes it actually went out of Netflix because of the wifi connection, but other than the wifi speed, everything was great.

    I liked everything about Starfish Surf House, the beautiful son down and the son ups in the morning with dolphins swimming in groups between the surfers. Shops were very close, actually within walking distance as well as the beach.

    It is old, a bit smelly and worn out. The price was good though. Parking our motorcycles turned out to be quite a challenge as you have to go up and down a long very steep ramp. If all bays but the one for the bikes are occupied it will be a tough one to maneuver. You won’t back down that ramp on a bike.

    We had a very nice view down to the ocean. The outside seating is nice as well. The price is great.
