Didn't like the fact that the main gate was not locking and had to worry about the safety of my vehicle.
Also the air-conditioning was continuously blowing out dirt and messing the bed.

Room is big with everything you need when you travel or even go on holiday.
200 meters from nearest restaurants and shop and they even have discount structure at some restaurants.
Amazing view of the beach and ocean from the deck!1 10/10!!!

We absolutely loved finally staying at this perfect venue! This is definitely not our last stay here... we will be back asap
Monkeys! Not much one can do about these though... I don't really like the internal doors! Need a jug in the kitchen... otherwise well appointed.

Chose the place due to location as we needed to be close to the airport and it's across from the beach
Chalet is in need of renovations, bathroom and kitchen needs to be upgraded, stove is rusted, cabinets are old, bathroom looks like it has never been upgraded since 1970.chalet 7 that we got was not as advertised pictures are deceiving.blinds does not close, is bent and dirty.nerds to be changed asap, was extremely unhappy, lucky we only stayed 1 might, would not recommend

The unit was cozy. The view was amazing, I love the fact that the beach is walking distance and the views are amazing.
The initial room given was far too small, no kitchen, everything in the bedroom.

Location right across from beach! Pet friendly. Sun deck over looking the sea. Beds very comfortable and crispy and clean linnen and towels.
Not sufficient or easy manoeuvrable covered parking. Only 2 carports for all users not enough. Can’t open any windows or doors due to monkey problems that steal stuff and run away with it. Monkeys throw sticks onto your vehicle and crap all over and climb all over vehicles!! Unit 2 that we stayed in no privacy. Bedroom small and stuffy no windows that can open properly and no view has air-con but when load shedding air-con not working and you want to dei of heat and stuffiness and can’t open windows that is there due to monkey problem. Stove has seen better days and plates rusted and dirty. Pots were also not cleaned properly still full of old oil from previous users. Beach chairs for use by tenants very uncomfortable. Only received 1 beach towel but very small we were 2 adults. Only some channels available on DSTV. Units built to much on top of another so no privacy privacy and you can hear every noise from adjacent units even with windows closed. Very small grass patch for dogs not sufficient. With gate staying open all day and on a very busy road care should be exercised with pets as no fencing per unit and pets can be killed by passing vehicles.

Location is right on the beach. The aircon was good.
The shower was pathetic. No water pressure at all. The property is like old staff quarters on an old sugar farm...small rondawels right on top of each other. Weaving pathways run amongst these rondawels intermixed with old ablution blocks and current staff rooms. Rooms are so close there is zero privacy between you and the next guest. You can literally hear everything said in the room next door. Property is run down. Washing hangs on old wash lines in-between the rooms. The pillows on the bed smell like dirty, oily hair. Towels were stained. Monkeys are everywhere...cant leave a window or door open. Was an awful experience in general. PS bring your own soap as none is provided in the bathroom.

Very good location and close to the beach.
Electrical gate was not fucntioning. Not sufficient parking.
