Außergewöhnlich Schöne Lage mit Meerblick und grandiosen Sonnenuntergang. Sehr geräumig, charmante liebevolle Einrichtung. Schöne, toll eingerichtete Terrasse. Ausschließlich zur Selbstverpflegung gedacht. Sehr freundliche Betreuung vor Ort.

I like that it was secure & spacious.
It was spacious (although I think we got a different/bigger room than we booked). Didn’t provide anything “extra” like soap in the shower, there were no bowls so had our cereal out of a mug & the top 3 stairs felt a bit unstable.

Lovely location, right on the beach.
No back-up power. Property grounds are in a poor untidy state

The rooms were spacious
Loadshedding, most of the time we spent in our apartments at night was darkness, perhaps you could invest in a solar or battery system or even rechargeable light bulbs to make it better.
Also did not see the toiletries and iron that were stated on the booking confirmation, a bit disappointing.
No coffee and sugar in the rooms, a little as a welcome gift would have been appreciated

the sea and the silence at Grotto Bay
space too tight for 4 people, no place to sit in the unit like a sofa to sit on and relax (the one provide was used for a bed) only chairs where you could sit is at the table. Not really a view to look at. Braai facilities is bad, We have to walk around the building to find place to make fire for a braai.
Difficult to braai in front of main building when few other people was sitting in the dining room and lounge every evening and looking at you all the time and uses the braai for quite awhile.
Lack of privacy definitely a problem
UNIT: could recommend a larger fridge, not enough space for your ice and meat/food that needs a freezer
I choose a unit by the options given on booking.com, but I didn't receive the unit I've chosen. Does it matter if you are for instance two people and you prefer a large unit for the comfort and you are willing to pay the price as advertised???

The location
The host were very nice at first. They do make it very obvious tho that they are running a business
. everything is charged for.. including salt and pepper at R10 or a piece of firelighthers for R5. If you want to borrow their braai grid and tongs you will have to fork out R55 to use it in the shared braai facility.There are tuckshop style pricelists everywhere... it did not come as a surprise that we were charged exra after we left for our laudry (white) for being exceptionally dirty(not sure what an exceptable level of dirt is?). i am refering to a bathmat that was used for 4 days by 2 adults and 2 children... with the added rain outside.. i was not aware that jik costs R300. The way the situation was handeled with threats from the pastor husband was unexceptable. Once the money was paid i was extended an invite to their other guesthouse in langebaan... money is really the top priority here .. and we felt it every minute we were there.

Separate living area from sleeping area, comfortable bed, close to the beach, surrounding is quiet.
The fridge was loud, the wooden floor makes noises, thin walls, the light switch is on a bad position, difficult to set the shower to the right now temperature.

The location inside the nature reserve, and a short walk from the beach is perfect for a short break-away.
The advice/recommendations from the owners / host should be acted upon. They are excellent and engaging.
A great weekend away for our family!
Wooden floors and ceilings make for sound-sensitive areas so you can hear your neighbours. No issues with quiet time rules though

Blocked toilet, Broken Bath, No towls, after asking very dirty towls, Sharing house, dirty mugs, stinking fridge, dirty cutlery and dish cloth. Not what we expected.

The only good thing about this place is the sweet and wonderful staff. The caretaker went out of his way to try help me make things more comfortable.
The room walls are extremely thin, and you feel like you might as well be in the living room of the person next door. You can hear EVERYTHING, from conversations, to toilet habits.
This is NOT family friendly, or a place you want to take kids. My child could not even play outside, as it's too loud.
I had to force my child to whisper and not play our entire stay.
Extremely stifling.
The rooms have no view
The communal area has the view, but you get the feeling you are NOT welcome there. At all.
The owners were both extremely rude and made us feel extremely awkward.
9.0
Amazing position with views, great hosts and ability to warm up food. Very reasonably priced. Be aware it is room only price, you can order breakfast which is charged for separately. Bring your own food as there are no shops or restaurants nearby.
No coffee facilities in the room, when offered a coffee later by the host, I was charged for it. The headboard looked great, but creeks when leaned on.
6.0
Pretty area, secluded beaches, quiet.
The unit didn't have much of a view, felt very claustrophobic. I personally couldn't wait to leave and head for the next place on our journey. The only bit of view of the bush and the sea was from the top room. Having to share a veranda and a possible glimpse of the sea/sunset with other guests was not pleasant, we felt we were invading their space and I'm sure they felt the same. The host also braaied for us, which was a bit strange, we are used to having our own braai and doing our meat the way we like it. It cost us R1900 for one evening, which was way over what it was worth.
4.0
Guesthouse styled accommodation with beautiful rooms and stunning views. Clean and neat in a safe gated reserve.
Checking in was sadly very unpleasant with security being sent by the owner to ask what we are doing there, after I showed the security the Booking.com confirmation. Even though the owners explained and defended their actions, we cancelled our second nights stay with them, as we did not feel treated as a paying guest should. I truly hope that the owners improve on their customer service etiquette.
