The Estuary Country Estate, Villa "Once Upon A Tide"

The views from the Villa were amazing. Loved that we could access the beach....its a short beautiful walk from the villa. The estuary was beautiful. Loved the abundance of bird life. Carmen, the host communicated efficiently with us from the time we booked in and was also kind enough to allow us a slightly late check out.

So tranquil, comfortable and well situated for a beautiful beach holiday.

The fake plants and multitude of ceramic ornaments.

Our kids loved the place , the villa is perfect great for our family to bond

The place was clean, spacious and so tastefully done. Facilities were great.. Braai, showers, kitchen appliances etc. Double lock up garage.. Safety was excellent. Location was amazing

Location and size.

The second bedroom double bed was a bit small for our friends but it was only for two nights.

Absolutely everything

I was not aware that there’s no bath at all but not really a train smash

Accomadation was neat, clean and spacious. Ideal for our group of 6. Very well equiped kitchen.

Beautiful villa and we'll decorated . I like the king size bed. It felt like home

Absolutely loved our stay at The Estuary Villa! The views of the estuary were breathtaking, and the villa itself was beautifully appointed with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect for exploring Port Edward and enjoying the local scenery. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and picturesque retreat. 👍🏠🌟 From the delicious buffet at the Fish Eagle Restaurant to enjoying our Sunday morning kayaking on the river. Whole weekend was a 10/10

Everything was perfection

The Villa was very spacious and clean with air-conditioning in each room.

Everything was great. Such a beautiful place.

Everything was on spot on. The place.. The Villa Beautiful 😍 inside nd out

Nothing in particular.. but the ensuite bathroom for the min bedroom can be given attention

The place was the best, from the Security at the gate to the actual physical place. The instructions were user friendly. The caution on what might be dangerous to us, was all mentioned (thank you for that). Our stay was so amazing.

We didn't like that we had to go home so soon. We almost extended our stay.

The view is beautifull. The house is comfortable and very nicely decorated and spacious.

The couch is not very comfortable.

Perfect quaint villa situated in port edward.scenic views of mountain and ocean and estuary in between.amazing watching the sunrise 🌅. Self catering villa with all the amenities you need.3 bedrooms all ensuite.lock up garage for cars. And wild coast is about 5 min away by car.will definitely be back.communication with host was excellent for checkin.

The beautiful views

We liked the view and spaciousness of the house. We liked the TV channels, I.e. Netflix, YouTube Comfy beds. Liked board games. Bathrooms were great.

As a family, we are scared of geckos, so we struggled with that, as they were in the house. The gas stove wasn't working properly, but we managed. Some windows need to be upgraded, especially in the kitchen, as they have holes. Couches need to be replaced.

The house was very neat n beautiful, home away from home .quiet n tranquil surroundings.

It's has the most beautiful views. The unit was very clean, it was really home away from home. I will most definitely go back, and definitely recommend Villa 5. Well done to the host and thank you very much.

Great situation with view on the lagoon and ocean

Spacious

I loved the location, the view, the air-conditioning and the kitchen was well kitted out.

They could have repaired the leaking roof and damp in the walls of the enclosed patio. It was like sauna on hot days. My car could not fit in the garage because of a cupboard that is built along the front wall. There was no bed sheet on the bed, only a very thick and warm duvet, and with this heat we were very uncomfortable. The main bathroom needs some major attention, the ceilings are pulling away from the walls. The lounge suit is not comfortable...

Beautiful Location, spacious, clean, will definitely visit again.

Property was very clean . Carmen the host was very accommodating and easy to get in touch with. Location close to the Wild Coast. Perfect family get away .

Attitude of guards suck.

The property was comfortable, definitely a home away from home. Everything that we needed was available. A big Thank you to the hosts.

House was very comfortable and well equipped. Estate and facilities were good. Secure and well kept. Using the facilities of the hotel was also very easy. The view of the beach and estuary was lovely. Had a lovely stay.

The property was beautiful with a lovely sea view.

Loved that each room had its own bathroom And toilet!

The unit was everything we saw in the pictures.

I cannot think of anything that the unit lacked. it was perfect

Loved the location. Exceptionally private, and peaceful. Also felt extremely safe. House is fully equipped. Gardens well taken care of. My family and grandkids thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Grandkids did not want to leave.

Everything was perfect so nothing I did not like.

Everything was carefully planned on the villa . Amazing deco . Owner carefully thought through and even placed cling wrap and foil for our left overs . Carmen was reachable each time I had a question

Stunning villa and picturesque views of the Ocean, River and Estate. The patio was my favourite, I loved sitting there and taking in the views. The beach too, really one of the best I’ve been too.

The hostess was in contact from booking confirmation. The villa was exceptionally clean and had absolutely everything one will require on holiday. The quality of the linen, crockery, garden, is excellent. The view makes you feel like you on a holiday from the moment you step onto the patio. It was relaxing and a memorable stay. Will definitely visit again.

cannot think of anything

Absolutely loved everything about this villa. Beautiful, clean, spacious, fully equipped and comfy beds. Perfectly located and stunning views from this villa. The host, Carmen was very helpful and allowed us to check in early. Overall we had a wonderful stay. Will definitely book this villa again and will recommend it to family and friends.

There is nothing we didnt like. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Location and views fantastic. Ease of access was a great attribute. Exceptional value for money and well appointed home.

Home away from home. Comfortable, clean, Convenient and safe. Host Carmen was exceptional. Thank you.

The location and views. Easy check in and out.

Loved every bit of this vacation home The home was warm,comfortable, and welcoming . The view was a delight, and the home was peaceful and serene.

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at Once Upon a Tide. The view from the house is stunning. The house was equipped with all of the facilities and appliances one could need, even an air fryer which came in handy! The beach was just a short walk away which was lovely. We really loved our visit and we look forward to going back soon.

Loved the cleanliness and the modern furnishings. Owner, although not there, was accommodating in all my queries. There was actually an air fryer in the kitchen, though we didn't get to use it. Lovely initiative by the owner Carmen. I'm sure many future families will utilize it. Very peaceful and the view was refreshing. A family of ducks came to visit us every evening. My little ones loved them. This Villa ticks all the boxes for a great family holiday. Well done to owners Carmen and Lionel.

Well this is South Africa and the load shedding is always irritating. That's a common issue. Maybe the place should be fitted with an inverter. Pillows could do with an upgrade, too soft and flat for my liking.
