The high ceilinged apartment is spacious and bright, and the view from the terrace is gorgeous. The property is clean and well equipped. Could have been a perfect stay if not for the noise.
The plunge pool advertised was dirty and therefore unusable. The “villa” is actually the top level of a house with a slightly precarious set of steps leading to the front door which is tricky with luggage. There were several crickets (at least 3) indoors under the ceiling eaves, they were incredibly noisy at night so we didn’t sleep at all. The other villa downstairs was separated by a thin door so we could hear the conversations of the other occupants.

tolle Aussicht, Küche gut ausgestattet, gemütliches Wohnzimmer
Die Haupttür öffnete sich durch Windstösse. Wir mussten sie abschliessen, damit sie zu blieb.

Atemberaubende Aussicht auf die Bay. Wir konnten die Wale von der Terrasse aus mit dem Fernglas beobachten – was ein Traum. Der Grill auf der riesigen Terrasse wurde selbstverständlich genutzt. Klasse!
Die Wohnung war absolut sauber. Julia , die Reinigungskraft hat hier ganze Arbeit geleistet. Kein Haar, kein Staub…wirklich bemerkenswert! Die Wohnung lädt zum verweilen ein, die Terrasse zum Absacker nach einem aufregenden Tag.

Great location and very spacious accommodation we enjoyed our short time away and host communication was good.
There was no neater or fire place so place was cold, lights were an issue, some could not go on. A few maintenance issues that need attention eg bubbling paint and door handles.

I liked the interior and the location, their kitchen was fully equipped and lounge area was comfortable.
The Villa is very cold, with no heater, fireplace, or air conditions. We were not provided cleaning service in our 3 night stay. The internet signal was very poor. We had to buy data for 4 family members. The bed pillows and mattress very uncomfortable. They can do better.

The Villa is beautiful with an amazing view of the sea.
It would have been nice if there was a proper heater, the small oil heater didn't provide much heat.

The location for anyone shark diving is perfect
The hosts communication was virtually non existent and were very difficult to get responses from.

Beautiful large balcony with a sea view
There is no buffer from the ceiling to the roof. It was a windy & rainy night and it literally sounded like hurricane winds throughout the night. Comfortable place to stay, but I would forgo the view and stay in the villa below if any wind is in the forecast!

Location and spaciousness of the accommodation. Lovely view, neat and clean. Hostess was great.
The Mosquitos - there should be a net over each bed or at least the option for one. Cleaner arriving earlier than checkout time which made us feel rushed.

Beautiful view
The villa was the the biggest disappointment during our family trip to South Africa. It is situated in really bad zone. No mobile signal at all. So you have no chance to call owners when you arrive. We didn't get any instructions how to turn off the security alarm or information that owners turn it off remotely. So the only thing you have to do is wait when the alarm stops yelling all over the neighborhood. The only way to call the owners is to leave the villa and go on the hill nearby to catch the signal.
There is NO GENERATOR at the villa.
We didn't get any loadshedding timetable or an information that there was no electricity AT LL last couple of days before our arrival. We were not able to recharge our phones or have a cup of tea/coffee in the morning.
The villa itself is nice, but stinks a little bit. We killed 2 relatively big spiders during our 1 night stay.
The owner doesn't care about the guests. No answer after 6 pm.
No undercover parking for villa 1. The garage is huge and there is enough space for 2 cars. No idea why it is a problem to make another set of keys for garage for villa 1 guests.
No compensation for the inconvenience. Just insincere "I'm sorry".

EVERYTHING! It was a slice of heaven. The villa itself was well equipped, neat, clean, very spacious, spectacular sea and sunset views, lovely decor. The host was helpful and friendly.
The only downside is that the pool is very small but you dont even need it as there is a beach right on your doorstep.

Nice Apartment, good sized lock up garage, good views, good room sizes
The fact there was no A/C . This was known before we got there but the information was withheld. No compensation was offered for the lack of A/C. No shampoo etc in bathrooms
