Everything was really amazing; we were all very impressed and really enjoyed our stay. It was clean. Could access the beach easily, it was safe and it's a very central location.
No plugs for phone chargers
We had a wonderful stay! The villa had beautiful views, and the convenient access to the beach made our experience even better. Our host was fantastic! Welcoming, helpful, and accommodating. The villa itself was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!
Our stay was too short.
It’s very close to the beach! Literally 1 minute. It’s quiet, no noise from neighbours. The furniture, the appliances, kitchenware, big screen TV with the best sound system made it a better home away from my home. The regular bed linen change, daily cleaning and laundry was also the best part. The housekeeper was very friendly and accommodating to our schedule
The location and amenities were great Close to the beach and a lovely place The cleaning staff were lovely and very helpful.
The pillows need to be changed is my only complaint A few changes could be to include beach amenities for kids and perhaps nespresso pods for the machine
Das Appartement ist super. Es liegt in einem gesicherten Komplex mit Meerblick. Im unteren Bereich ist ein toller Wohn- und Küchenbereich und eine Gästetoilette. Oben sind drei Schlafzimmer. Es gibt zwei Bäder, wobei eines in dem Hauptschlafraum integriert ist. Neben einer Reinigungskraft die täglich kommt, gibt es einen Ansprechpartner vor Ort, der immer erreichbar ist. Wir hatten gleich am ersten Tag ein Problem mit dem Warmwasseraufbereiter, was sofort gelöst wurde. Es gibt im hinteren Gebäude den Zugang zum Pool in der 5. Etage. Die Einrichtung der Wohnung ist vollständig und neu. Sogar Waschmaschine und Trockner sind vorhanden. An der Wohnung gibt es auch einen Garten. Ich kann diese Wohnung sehr empfehlen. Der nächstgelegene Strand ist Umhlanga Beach, der unmittelbar vor der Wohnung liegt und sehr schön und sauber ist.
Nix. War alles super.
Reinigungspersonal Sandra war super, ebenso die schnelle Kommunikation zu dem Rental Management Team. Die geschützte Anlage, insb. Parkplatz in gesonderter Tiefgarage.
Sonnenschirm müsste gereinigt & repariert werden. Die Fugen in der Küche und Bädern, insb. um den Waschbecken müssten erneuert werden, da verschimmelt. Töpfe, Pfannen müssten ganzheitlich ersetzt werden, da die Beschichtung abblättert. Alle Inhalte der Schubläden & Schränke insb. in Wohn-Essbereich sollten geprüft werden. Die Liegen & Aufenthaltsbereich am Pool ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
Probably the best property I have stayed in within SA and across provinces. Absolutely immaculate and luxurious.
There is no lift to / from the car park and the garage parking is a little tight
Beautiful villa, very light and breezy- it activates "holiday mode" right as you walk in. Awesome location, we took walks on the promenade every morning, we felt safe every time. Easy beach access and the villa is a short distance away from great restaurants. Friendly staff from security to the house keeper, Sandra, and the owner that communicated every part of the process. We appreciated the welcome snack station set up for us. Beds were clean and comfortable. The aircon made the hot weather bearable. Thank you hosts!
The geyser seemed too small for a group of 5, we ran out of hot water every time we showered around the same time. There wasn't enough adapter, guess we should've brought ours. There also wasn't a vertical full length mirror- this made dressing up hard. But all these are minor, the place is honestly worthwhile!
Everything was beautiful l, Sandra kind too..
Nothing
Mary & Jones, Doppio Zero - they served best breakfast
This are not something we didn't like but some areas which would even give great experience he braai facility need some lift up and importantly a need to put more tea items as complimentary more especially when there are group of people using the apartments.
Second stay here, and place looking amazing! New improvements done to the place really look great. Staff very helpful and friendly.
Comfortable lovely beachfront location with gorgeous views over the ocean, quick beach access and good facilities. Helpful and responsive host.
Loved thr location and the facility was very nice
It was very nice the home and area was nice literally 1 minute to get to the beach 1 problem was the inverters was making soo much noise And the 1 bedroom lights weren't working Would recommend
Loved the view and the convince we had to the malls and other areas. The apartment is beautiful 😍
Nothing
Very good location and views and had what we needed.
A little bit dated but that didn’t impact the enjoyment of our stay.
The location was perfect to walk to shops and restaurants. The view was breathtaking. Sandra the cleaning lady was fantastic.
The bedsheet in the main bedroom was ripped, there were not enough decent sized drinking glasses, pool was always in the shade and very cold. However their is breakers resort up the road that we were able to buy a pass to use the pool, which was lovely. There were numerous holes in the ceilings which dripped into the kitchen when you used the bath. The main bedroom could do with blackout curtains as the shutter did not keep the morning light out. There was an outside light that was on all night that made sleeping for the first few night very difficult. This was fixed on day 3 of our 8 night stay. These are are all minor issues and could be fixed very easily.
Everything - the location is great, the facilities are really good. We had a great stay!
Home away from home but right on the beach, that should say a lot. You have everything you need and daily housekeeping was the cherry on top.
Nothing
Location was perfect, walk through to the beach was short and convenient. Shopping mall and food outlets just a few kms from the venue. Beach amenities were offered, this made our day out at the beach nice.
Nothing.
Excellent location, well appointed apartment with luxury features that ensure a very comfortable stay. New aircons have been fitted that are extremely effective.
It was really beautiful and peaceful. It was exactly like it was advertised on here. Sandra was very lovely and helpful. The property is safe, easily accessible and has all amenities that one would need. It is really great value for money.
On our arrival there was a gentleman by reception I think his name was Johannes. He was very rude and unwilling to help. Upon arrival to reception he was very dismissive and implied that we were at the wrong location to a point where he bluntly implied that we got scammed without even attempting to go through our booking or escalate the matter with someone who could provide clarity. He almost sent us away, if it wasn’t for the lovely helper miss Sandra we came in to assist just in time we would have been chased away from the property. This was really an unpleasant experience and he didn’t even apologise even after it was proven that he was in the wrong. We had traveled from very far and had spent so much money to come and rest. This was a terrible first encounter because whoever is at reception sets the tone on how guests get to experience your property. We are still very upset about this incidence. I really hope that this matter is addressed so that future guests that get this same treatment.
Amazing.
Payments not well integrated with Booking.com (which seems common in S. Africa).
It’s one of the nicest setup units in that area, feels like home away from home. With exceptional views. I would buy the unit in a flash if it’s for sale.
The Aircon’s are old and not working again, this is a constant complaint by many guests. I would not stay there in summer
I liked everything, mostly it was the beach view that sealed it
We had Wifi issues constantly and Im not too sure what the issue was

Kevin was helpful and sorted out an issue with the aircons when reported to him. Sandra was also extremely helpful and came in even on the weekend for us which was appreciated. The view and access to the beach are great as advertised and the access codes really make it helpful when traveling with a few people.

Had a very beautiful view
Great location, beautifully decorated and the host Kevin and housekeeper Sandra are wonderful. We’ve been here two New Years in a row and have had the best time with our kids.
Some minor aircon maintenance issues that were solved the same day we communicated them.
We like everything. Loved the villa. Very comfy. Had an awesome seaview from main bedroom.
The aircons doesn't work like they supposed to. When you stand under the aircons it makes cool but doesn't make the rooms cool at all.
Location

Nothing ... everything was perfect.
The location was absolutely amazing
Location good Please supply coasters for glasses to avoid stains and table cloths for the outside table We could not find a bucket and mop for cleaning, since there are no cleaning services on Sunday bathroom/shower mats need to be replaced. Otherwise the place is lovely and welcoming

Looks exactly like the pictures and is beautifully maintained.
