The bathroom door is a struggle. Cracked floor on balcony. Balcony chairs a bit rusty and dusty. Braai facilities was not prepared. I think when its mentioned in the inclusions, it should be prepared. The lady that opened gate cannot speak english and didnt really interact, I would suggest just a kind hello, even if she cannot speak english. The pool was green. It would be worth to mention beforehand if its not blue, our kids wanted to swim. The playground was also messy and does not look like the pictures at all. We booked the place with a expectation so Its good to mention these points.
Elim Rest Place in Fisherhaven is a lovely safe space to spend a weekend or even longer. The place is built so that you have quiet and privacy and there are two bedrooms in the unit. Zintle and her husband are working professionals, but still wonderful hosts, and any issue you might have can be resolved quickly and effectively. The place is tastefully decorated and you will find a large screen TV, very comfortable beds, a kitchen that includes two fridges and more utensils than you would likely require on a short stay. Beyond that, you can relax on the balcony with a private braai. In the bathroom, there is a shower and toilet, and in summer, you will no doubt find comfort in both the air conditioner as well as the pool. So in terms of value for money, this place does very well.
Unfortunately, this place is not suited for wheelchair users as it is upstairs, but on the other hand, the higher vantage point gives lovely views over the area and you can even see the lagoon. Reviews for this place are blocked on Google Maps.
The location was excellent-quiet,safe and close to everything we needed.
We werden hartelijk ontvangen en sliepen als roosjes in de zalige bedden!

Elim Rest Place is a beautifully styled self catering apartment in Fisherhaven Western Cape. The host was very helpful and friendly. The accommodation was clean, comfortable well equipped and a super place to rest overnight. Thank you for providing excellent accommodation.
We had no complaints thank you
The location was perfect,the pool was great
The fridge was mot working well.The owners in the property
We’ve just spent five nights at Elim Rest Place, and leaving today honestly feels bittersweet. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome, and throughout our stay, that warmth and care never changed. The place itself is absolutely beautiful — peaceful, spacious, and perfectly set up to relax and unwind. The views from the room are stunning, especially the sunsets, which we looked forward to every evening. One of the highlights for us was seeing the wild horses passing by the guest house — such a special and unique experience that really added to the magic of Fisherhaven. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the hosts. They went above and beyond in every possible way. This wasn’t your typical self-catering stay — they provided thoughtful extras like cold drinks, coffee and cappuccinos, sparkling water, salt, sugar, body wash, dishwashing liquid, and so much more. It felt like everything had already been thought of. They were always available and willing to help with anything — even offering to do our laundry and helping us carry our luggage up the stairs! The space itself is also incredibly well-equipped: a big TV, plenty of room, a lovely pool, braai facilities, and even extra fridge space if needed. As an added bonus, our unit was also cleaned during our stay, which we really appreciated. We also really appreciated the personal touches. Their son spent time playing with our daughter, and my husband really enjoyed chatting and playing soccer with him. Our daughter especially loved the chickens on the property, which brought her so much joy. It made the whole experience feel even more homely and special. We had some car trouble on our first day, which was quite stressful, but the hosts were incredibly understanding and reassuring. They made sure we knew we wouldn’t lose our booking, and their kindness during that time meant so much to us.
Location, space, balcony, peaceful.
Bathroom light switch is in a strange location 😂
Nice apartment, exactly as in the pictures. Everything seems new. Great beds. Clean and safe. Hosts are very nice.
Dining table is too small for this apartment which has 4 beds and fully equipped kitchen.
It was very cozy and comfortable.

Very clean and comfortable
Too little kitchen cupboard space
It was very peacefull,pool was nice and hosts were super friendly
Quiet location. So it's good if you coming to rest. We went out every day otherwise you can get bored. Place was clean. Price was good. Nice owners. He promised to sort out toilet situation before new guests come.
We had shared balcony with owners. Utensils for cooking was limited. There is a problem with toilet flushing. It leaked sewerage water when you flush. It was unpleasant. Bedrooms are small. A lot of mosquitoes. Not a beach for swimming nearby.
Appartement très agréable. Tout confort et très bien équipé. Merci.
Ruhig gelegene große Wohnung, sehr sauber, sicher, herzlicher Empfang. Ordentlich ausgestattete Küche. 15 Minuten mit dem Auto nach Hermanus.
Everything was great
I can’t fault the property on anything
Très bon couchage. Place de parking. Les enfants ont joués avec les notres, c'était un beau moment de partage.
A l'écart d'Hermanus. Piscine verte. Manque d'équipements dans la cuisine.
Very nice , very comfortable and just as advised.
Nothing, everything was perfectly

Only thing we didnt like was the door to our apartment that could be accessed without our own key but other than that everything was great!
Ich vergebe selten 10 Punkte, aber DAS war seeeehr schön!!! Ruhig, abgelegen, sicher. Tolle Familie. Tolle Betten... nichts zu bemängeln.
It was clean,neat and no problems at all
None
The apartment was fairly comfortable and clean.
On arrival, the pool wasn't clean. The lighting in the apartment was very poor. There were no aircon or any fans in the room. We couldn't leave windows open because of the flies and insects. All the pillows in the bedrooms were terrible with no support. The bathroom was exceptionally small, as well as the bathroom sink. The bed in the main bedroom was extremely big and hardly no place to move.
The tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. Friendly and warm Hosts and Family

The view is amazing, even the early morning Cockerell is an added touch.
The quietness and peaceful environment.As well as the helpfulness of the host and family.
N/a everything was perfect
The accommodation was spacious, clean and secure with an integrated garage downstairs. Our hosts were very kind in welcoming us, sharing information about the local area and providing additional utensils when we decided to have a braai.
Nothing - it was a great place to stay. We only wish we had stayed longer!
Cozy apartment, love the view from the balcony.
Bathroom is a little small, and the main bedroom needs a new mattress, felt the springs, had to sleep on top of the bedding to be more comfortable.
Very kind and helpful staff, available to offer assistance. Comfortable beds and pillows with nice clean white linen and towels. We'll equipped kitchen with some complimentary water and cool drinks in the fridge. Warm beverages of expensive taste available. The owners have expensive taste and applied detail in everything in the rooms to ensure comfort and attract guests.
Having to leave the following day
The bathroom was very tine
This was one of the most comfortable stays we had. Everything and more were provided The wifi was very good Slept like a baby
The accommodation was neat and clean.
The top of the fridge was blocked with ice. Need to defrost
Owner was very helpful and friendly. Accomadation was perfect. We enjoyed our stay
We really enjoyed our stay and felt at home! The hosts are very welcoming, warm, friendly, helpful and accommodating! The welcome drinks, water and milk in the refrigerator was an added bonus. We would definitely recommend the accommodation to anyone and will visit again!
There's nothing we didn't like.
I loved that there was refreshments on arrival and I absolutely loved the pool. My partner found the surrounding very peaceful and wanted to stay longer.
There was nothing to dislike as everything we needed was available for usage. You wouldn't say that the host's reside on the same property. It was an amazing stay
We attended a Church conference as a family. The value for money, the tastefull style of the flat, the beautiful views, was all worth it. The peaceful nights along with the clean place was what we needed.
Enjoyed it unfortunately we had an emergency and had to leave earlier bt the owners are so nice they even offered to refund our 2 nites we didn't stay..I wil surely be going back
Very nice and cozy
It's a comfortable flatlet with good basic amenities. It was very clean and the hosts had left beverages and milk for us in the fridge.
Although I did not specify an absolute time I was checking in, the host had contacted me via SMS to say that she had to go out and would drop me a pin where to collect the keys. There was no pin and when I got there I had to call her to find out where to go. I then had to drive around Fisherhaven to find the security company office to collect the keys.
We had a great time. Was nice and very cozy. The weather was a bit windy,but we still enjoyed it. We would definitely come back again.❤
The whole stay, the property is clean and peaceful

Our stay wasn't long at Elim, but it was memorable... The surroundings were beautiful the beach is very close by not to mention if you want to be out a little there Is even a lovely pub called WHITE 🐇 nearby with a pool board and darts to keep you occupied . Lets talk about the house it's manageable with mostly everything you need but lovely and cozy the sun shining on the pool kept the water warm which was even a up to have the days are flying by then it's winter we took advantage of that so yes GO make it a CHOICE.... and thank you for the beverages!
Let see a little side table . Some light by the fireplace . Cutting board. More cutting knives. The wifi wasn't to good . And the pool pump please leave that on while there are people in the pool .
We loved everything about the accommodation. The host was exceptionally helpful and nice. Host went out of their way to make everything perfect for us. Host left beverages in the fridge for us. That was excellent.
Nothing not to like. Just a tip for the future try to install a fan like the one in the lounge in each room, as it gets extremely warm in the rooms during the evening.
Location was ok
The venue was clean, comfortable and had everything that we required to make our holiday enjoyable. The people were very friendly and accommodating.
We loved every moment, from arrival until departure. The hospitality of the entire family was exceptional. The establishment was beautiful, clean and had all the amenities required. The beverages in the fridge, was also very thoughtful. We will surely visit again😊
We liked it all!!
Everything's about the accommodation was good. We were welcomed with open, friendly arms. Excellent stay!! I will recommend this place.
Amazing hosts and a very comfortable apartment for small families- we had welcome drinks too which was a thoughtful gesture. Clean and tidy. My boys had a blast playing downstairs. Hosts were so warm and friendly. Would definitely recommend.
