The apartment was closed to the shops and beach
Nothing about it
Its close to all amenities
It was a little bit hostel like. I don't think the bunk beds fit in
Great walkn distance to the beach and restaurants. Very relaxing environment.
The windows do not lock , so from a safety point of view I was uneasy about that.
Que tenía la playa cerca pero como hizo mal tiempo no pudimos ir
Dejar un depósito de 1000rands para que me entregaran la llave, que no hubiera ascensor para subir las maletas. Que los cables de la lámpara estuvieran pelados, que la ventana no cerrase y no nos dieran más mantas, que no nos pusieran jabón de manos, que en las condiciones para devolver los 1000rands estuviese sacar la basura y guardar la vajilla en los armarios ( y no nos pusieron ningun trapo de cocina para secarla). Que la limpieza en general fuera deficiente. Se nota que no quieren gastar nada en mantenimiento
Close to restaurants, shops and the beach. Clean and comfortable.
Just 4 packets of coffee provided, no milk. Window could not lock so easy to break in.
Not bad ,there was respect and care.
Everything was good
Pillows were too hard
The location was excellent,plenty of restaurant s etc nearby..
It says 24 hr security I saw none,the reception is not on the property...microwave barely reachable..fridge shelves dirty,duvet wafer thin.. shower head minute with sand coming through..
Location of the apartment. Close to beaches, restaurants and shops.
close to a nightclub so on weekend evenings it was very noisy.
The location and cleanliness
The door lock was jamming. There was no iron for my clothes. The hot water was turned off early in the morning and I could not shower.
Bel appartement spacieux avec vue sur mer Tout est parfait
The view
A great stay everything I needed on my doorstep
Nothing
Privacy and quiet hours, parking inside secured premises
You enter into the main bedroom which was the lounge turned into the main bedroom. No ensuite bathroom as you must use the bathroom and shower down the passage. It's basically a 1 bedroom apartment where the lounge was turned into a main bedroom.
The location was great.
R1000 breakage deposit that was demanded.
Didn't like anything was all bad

Nothing
Everything
It's close proximity to entertainment and Beach view.
No packing, car was not safe, room 1 was terrible with clogging water in the sink and shower. The braai facility was not working. We needed extra blacket there was non. Pots for cooking were not of standard. No house keeping.
Not much
From onset
Perfectvlocation. Friendly reception staff
2nd bedroom bed mattreess is very uncomfortable. The three of us had to share the bed on 2nd n 3rd night
Clean beaches, within mins walking distance. Had a lovely afternoon close by at Hops, watched men's semifinals at wimbledon, had a lovely time.
I returned to Hops on the Sunday, to be disappointed however, The Black Marlin, close to apartment, provided me w8th delicious dinner, and the opportunity to watch men's finals wimbledon another gr8 unique experience. The apartment is ideally situated for walking activities, time by the clean uncrowded beaches. That may change during school holidays.
The property is spacious
My experience was disappointing for several reasons: 1. The reception is quite far from the accommodation, and you have to climb a long flight of stairs to get there. 2. Guests are required to pay a refundable R1,000 deposit, but this was not mentioned in the property's policies before booking. While I understand it's refundable, not every guest may have an extra R1,000 available on arrival. 3. The staff were not welcoming or particularly friendly. 4. The property is constantly noisy, with children screaming throughout the day, making it difficult to rest. When I reported the noise, I was told it was "still early," which wasn't a helpful response. 5. The bathroom was not clean. I found hair in it, and there wasn't even a shelf to place soap or toiletries. 6. The contact number provided for assistance was not answered when I called. 7. There was no complimentary soap provided in the bathroom. 8. The shower curtain was absolutely disgusting and clearly needed to be cleaned or replaced.
Close to the beach and shops. Comfortable beds. Nice sea view.
There is a club nearby so it's a bit noisy at night. You have to pay an extra R1000 breakage deposit
Cleanliness
Location. No soap. Furnishing is outdated. Not pleasing
WE DIDNT STAY THERE THE HOST MOVED US TO A DIFFERENT UNIT
WE DIDNT STAY THERE THE HOST MOVED US TO A DIFFERENT UNIT
The balcony and view
Loud music surrounding the building. Can definitely add more blankets, as it was very cold.
First our room was double booked, moved us to a smaller room. We requested a smoking room and did not get one. The window in the room was broken and banging shut the whole night, called reception and they said they would send someone to come take a look but never did. So we had to listen to the window banging shut the whole night, and to make it worse they have a night club right next door that was playing loud music until 5am. We couldn't shut the window to drown out the noise! And one other thing they don't tell you is that after the booking is made and paid for they require an additional R1000 as a breakage deposit
Exceptionally clean, well equipped for self-catering, good location to restaurants and beach!
The local nightclub can get quite noisy until quite late.
Close to everything. Great location. Friendly staff that assisted us.
Lounge TV to be changed to smart TV. Bedrooms needs TV's. Needs an oven. Deck needs to be closed from neighbors. Soap supplied for dishes in the kitchen but no hand soap supplied for bathrooms.
Service and the cleanliness
The is no sports channels on the tv
The location was perfect,close to everything and bed was comfortable.
The lady at reception/key collection was very unprofessional and wasn't welcoming at all. Towels were dirty and old with a red stain on one of them
The location was straight forward and it was nice to see all restaurants around us, our room was very good looking clean.
The parking is not good it looks not safe but nothing happens to our car it just that you always have to make sure about your baby (car).
The location , beautiful beach a stone throw away.
The tv isn’t smart so we couldn’t really watch anything, it’s just open view
Location and space in the room.
No blanket as it was a bit chilly at night. I wasn't sure where the parking was. I wasn't sure about the iron to press my clothes.
It was all perfect, peaceful, and beautiful. Everything was safe at the hotel, and I felt comfortable during my stay. I didn't use anything in the kitchen, and I made sure to leave everything clean and tidy. I respected the place as if it were my own home. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and I enjoyed my time there. Thank you for providing such a safe and beautiful place to stay.
es ist sauber und hat relativ moderne ausstattung
von den bildern unklar, dass die Räume direkt nebeneinander sind und nur eine verspigelung auf den scheiben sind. kein kontakt vor ort mit vermietern oder angestellten, kann man mögen oder nicht.
L'appartement était vraiment très bien, l'emplacement au top rien à dire
Le gros problème c'est que l appartement que nous avions était le n2 et qu'il donne sur la place principale. Le soir pas de bruit tout était fermé sauf un pub le MOZAMBIK et tout bascule de la musique à fond jusqu'à 2/3h du matin et donc si vous pensiez vous reposer tranquillement c'est mort 🤣 j'ai pratiquement fait 2 nuits blanche.

Great location
The receptionist didn't have a clue about the website, also no manager on duty... This is day 7 amd I still haven't received my deposit back. Everytime I phone, it's said to be done the next day... Need to shape this up!!! Train your staff. And provide safe parking for vehicle. Then it will be great.
Only the wifi was there
We slept in the kitchen Only 1 couch Tap was leaking in the sink Windows were not cleaned
Spacious
The fact that we must take out the refuse bag, I dont know what will the housekeeping staff will do I understand the rule of breaking and stealing have to be safeguarded, hence the deposit is there,this thing of not air drying the dishes I think the set too many things that should be done by housekeeping staff that was made to be the guest duties because they want their R1000 deposit back I will rather pay for housekeeping than to take out the dustbin, no iron was provided had to call and request it, was told to use it and put it in the cupboard and what about the next day again will call again?
The location and view
There was no room service, when we arrived there was 1 roll of tissue paper, there was only x2 45mls of shower gel and shampoo for 3 nights that I had booked, the bunk beds had no steps or ladder to climb, there was no playing facilities for the children, the was only one toilet for the whole family and it was an insuit🤥, had to park our car on the other side That apartment is not children friendly I was so disappointed
Apartment it's good
Nothing
I loved that the place was so clean and it is super close to the stores and restaurants.
I loved the location and convenience of the property. Very clean, had everything you needed and just great all round. The gentleman who helped me with the keys was so polite, kind and helpful!
Would be great if they had a smart TV with Netflix instead of Etv.
Everything was perfect
I did not have breakfast, I don' know if I missed something but the time I booked it mentioned breakfast but I did not have it. It may happen that it was served after my departure or it was not included on my booking fees
Not that I know of
Peaceful place
None
there was no no breakfast
water leakages at the kitchen
Location was super!!!! Close to all required facilities and close to the beach
Everything was perfect!!
Quiet, clean and friendly security. Near the beach and shopping centre.
No glass dishes to put food in. No big pot. Not good lighting at the braai area to braai in the evening. TV kept loosing signal. Should have DSTV even if its the lower package. Windows were very difficult to open. We prefer fresh air to aircon. No big bin to empty once the bin inside is full.
Close to all the restaurants and sea
Blood On the furniture, shower fulls off mold, 4 adults, but bunker beds, the sofa is broken and only place for 2 adults to sit on. The TV was out of order for 2 days. Curtains dirty. Looks like blood. No gas for stove had to ask for refill. Slippers of previous guest under sofa. Took 2 days for staff to collect
Close to the beach
That they are slow to refund breakage deposit
It’s good for a week stay and self catering.
I am not happy about refund process. Since I checked out Monday I haven’t received my refund. Called on Friday and they said they are processing refunds on the day but it’s Saturday evening and nothing. Honesty and transparency is one of the integrity a business must have.
Air con in bedroom.
the couches were uncomfortable
Sea views Clean and comfortable
One toilet roll for 3 days Need a queen or king size bed in main room
That we could see the sea and walking distance to the beach
I felt that the overview (what you can see was clean but it felt like the finer touches were not clean for example the toothbrush holder was still dirty and the second rooms bed sheet has a big stain on it (I check all bedding before getting into a bed) no hand towels were provided. It wasn't a bad stay just feel a bit more effort in the cleaning can be done.
Everything was super
None,
None
I liked the location of the accommodation. It was very central to everything which made it very convenient. I also enjoyed the outside patio, it was a nice touch to the apartment.
The shower seemed to have some plumbing issues. You could hear the water pushing up the shower drain and it would leave sand in the shower which I didn't really enjoy. The aircon in the room was very weak as well so it didn't really help to keep the room nice and cool.
No lift. Parking not near the apartment
Apartment was good comfortable
Showers need an upgrade. The main bathroom needs a door, no secure parking, staff was rude when I called, also the Aircon guys came through twice to check if the Aircon worked. We checked in after 4, not sure why this couldn't be done before...
Close to restaurant and shops
Location was excellent and the surroundings and access to the beach was perfect.
The shower did not drain properly, and I had to phone them daily to come and check
place is nearby
walking up the stairs with our luggage was not great
Es gab einen Kuehlschrank mit Tiefkuehlfach. Es gibt ein Schlafzimmer und ein Doppelstockbett im Hauptzimmer.
The bed was hollow and uncomfortable There was early morning noise that woke me up When there is neighbours next door their braai sole will blew into your stoep, and privacy interupted
Location
Deposit that is being paid in advance
It's been 14 days since checkout but I haven't received my deposit amount of R1000 paid on arrival
Required a deposit for breakages after accommodation was fully paid for on booking.com app.This was only communicated after the booking was made and paid for. Aircon was not working properly, chairs we're broken.When we checked out deposit was not returned, premises were not checked in our presence. Deposit was to be returned withiin 5 working days but the premises were not checked at check in or out in our presence.
Excellent stay. Very comfortable and exceptionally clean. Perfect location-close to the beach and shops within walking distance. The host is very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.
Nothing to complain about
The location is very good. The unit is comfortable.

What guests love
Areas to consider
Cleanliness
5.5/10Mixed reports: some guests praised exceptional cleanliness, but multiple reviews cite dirty bathrooms (hair, stained towels), a disgusting shower curtain and inconsistent housekeeping — overall inconsistent and leaning negative.
Service
6.5/10Mixed service: a few mentions of friendly, helpful staff but several complaints about unwelcoming or unprofessional reception, double bookings, being moved units, and unanswered contact numbers.
Location
9/10Strong location: repeatedly noted as close to the beach, shops and restaurants, easy walking access and good sea views; downside is proximity to a nightclub causing late-night noise.
Room Quality
6/10Mixed room quality: comfortable beds and good views reported, but issues include an uncomfortable second-bedroom mattress, broken/window-banging, outdated furnishings and occasional lack of extra blankets.
Amenities
6.5/10Self-catering generally well equipped for some, but guests reported missing basics (no hand soap, no sports channels), outdated TVs, no oven in some units and exposed decks needing privacy.
Value for Money
6.5/10Perceived value lowered by an unexpected R1000 refundable breakage deposit and some disappointed guests; property size and location provide some compensation for cost.
Food and Beverage
8.5/10Mostly positive for nearby options: several good experiences at local eateries (e.g., Black Marlin, Hops) and guests found nearby dining convenient; property is also noted as suitable for self-catering.
Overall Experience
7.5/10Overall mixed: many guests enjoyed the location, beach access and some clean, spacious units, but repeated issues with noise, deposit policy, service and cleanliness tempered overall satisfaction.
