The operational side of the booking was handled perfectly. Check-in was highly efficient—coordinated via WhatsApp with a practical, no-fuss key collection at a local fuel station. Both the owner and the caretaker delivered top-tier, friendly service. The location is the absolute highlight of the property and almost makes up for the unit's physical flaws. It is an incredibly short walk to the water—20 meters of grass, through the bottom gate, a quick crossing over Marine Drive, and a short boardwalk directly onto the beach. Sitting on the verandah offers a brilliant, immersive experience with excellent breaker views and the constant sound of crashing waves.

The flatlet is distinctly showing its age and is in need of a proper maintenance overhaul. The coastal environment has severely degraded the hardware: the patio security door and sliding door are heavily nuked by salty rust and are a complete struggle to operate. The lounge window levers are completely seized from corrosion, making them impossible to lock. Inside, there is visible rising damp blowing the plaster off the corner wall in the seafront bedroom, the kitchen cupboards are tired, and the kitchen basin handle was broken off. I understand this is somewhat standard for older coastal properties, but it crosses the line into looking a tiny bit neglected. Its asking for TLC. The biggest operational failure, however, was the connectivity. I specifically booked this place for a 5-night stay because it advertised included Wi-Fi. They rely on a Telkom SIM-based router, and due to a South Coast network outage, there was absolutely zero internet for the entire duration of my stay. I was forced to burn through my own mobile data at my own expense. If reliable Wi-Fi is a hard requirement for you, consider this a red-flag.

-Good View -Close to the beach ( 30 second trip if run😄) -Spacious rooms -Fans throughout the accommodation -Available Dish Washer really helped -Smart TV on hand

-Cleanliness was abit of an issue, one of the mattresses on the bunk bed had a strong smell of Urine and the Main bedroom mattress protector was not washed and had stains on it. -Wifi can be slow if you have 4+ people but manageable if you're 1-2 people
