Kabeljauws Beach Apartments

Direct access to beach

Poor communication. No toilet rolls. Insufficient crockery and glassware.

it is a nice place

there were no soaps and shower gels

Location is great! Walking distance to the beach, the shop and restaurant! We will definitely be booking this accommodation for our next stay in Kabeljouws!

We loved the location and access to the beach, it's clean and has everything you need, definitely recommend

Everything

No pool or playpark

Location and staff.

Plumbing was a massive problem and the apartment was not clean from the walls, to the bedding, even the bath mats.

I loved the open plan and beautiful details , the lovely small touches they put in the bedrooms with the towels its really such a beauty

Nothing for the most part however in the bedroom with onsuite downstairs is a mold corner on the roof

Very spacious and had everything I needed.

The blinds in the bedroom

Very Clean Great Location

Location was great. Owners brought a heater and electric blanket when we requested as it was cold.

I was charged R700 specifically for cleaning yet in the 3 nights stay nobody came to clean. There were a number of issues with the unit which rhe owners should try fix cause the place has great potential. There is a leak from the skylight which is not great when it rains cause its inside the house, I found if strange that nobody said anything. In the main bedroom the blinds dont host all the way done and there's a broken blind which when sleeping allows light inside the room making it difficult to sleep. In both bathroom theres drainage issues as you shower water takes hours to drain out so you're literally showering with dirty water above your ankles. Sink also has same issue in the second bedroom. Window in the second bedroom literally opens only 5cm as its blocked by the inverted and also opens to still the interior of the house.

The facilities was all there. Dishwasher, washing machine, wifi

I didn't get the apartment on the fotos. Agent made it seems like it was a misunderstanding on my part. Rain water was leaking onto the electrical invertor. Smelly and dirty blanket, old food stuck between the couches and hair on the scatter pillows, windows was dirty and blinds dusty.

The apartment was great. It’s next to the beach so it made our morning walks easier.

Location was great, Walking distance to the beach, and local shop. Host communicated well, and let us know of all the necessary details prior to checking in. Modern setup, and furnishings. Very Spacious.

Cleanliness of Pots and Pans were not great. Fridge was not clean, Freezer compartments frozen with ice. Some of the Blankets and Bedding were not very clean. Bathroom Tub and Basin were blocked and took ages to drain. Braai equipment was very dirty, had to buy my own.

We were told on the day of our arrival that there is a double booking and we must cancel our booking. No alternative. Got our refund on Monday the following week. Claudia blocked me on WhatsApp before the whole thing was resolved.

The rooms were clean, with the kitchen having all necessities. The access gate to the beach and the comfort was heavenly.

Such a beautiful place. A real home away from home. Comfortable bed and lovely pillows. So cozy ✨️

The sound of the ocean

N/a

The place was beautiful and very peaceful. The location was perfect, close to everything we needed — the apartment and the beach. It was quiet with no noise, which made the stay very relaxing.

There is nothing not to like

Well appointed apartment. Providing beach towels I found very considerate. Spacious, clean and in a safe complex - although no feeling of over crowdiness.

Needs some attention to minor issues - e g plumbing. Tip for future occupants - make dure you take mosquito repellant.

Location, close to beach, shop and restaurant

Neighbors sometimes a bit loud upstairs

The unit was close walking distance to the beach.

Very dirty braai grids, no oven gloves, no cleaning clothes to wipe the counters, not enough toilet paper supplied. Bathroom door does not close and second bedroom door does not function properly. Basin and shower drains in bathroom were blocked.

great location, spacious and clean!

Wir waren zu viert. Die Unterkunft war super, ausreichend

Spacious and beautifully decorated, had everything we needed and very close to the beach.

Close to the beach. Wish we had the opportunity to go there. Unfortunately we had to book out the same day we booked in. Disappointing experience for us.

When we got back from dinner, the place was filled with chemically smelling smoke. Thank goodness it didn’t happen while we were asleep, who knows what would have happened. Extremely dangerous. The managing agent, named Claudia, promised to pay us back on the owners behalf, but has since then decided to ignore us. Not that paying us back makes the accommodation any safer, but they went back on their word of which we have written confirmation. According the photos from which we booked we had a second floor apartment but we were placed on the ground floor. The one bathroom only had 1 of 4 lights functioning - the other bathroom 1 of 2. One toilet paper roll for 2 days stay. Kitchen sparsely fitted with aging appliances. We had to travel to Port Elizabeth late at night to find other accommodation. The stay leaves a bad taste in our mouths to say the least.

Very neat and quite area to relax

Nothing

The apartment itself. The decor. Everything was comfort..We had a relaxing weekend.

everything

coffee plunger was very small for an apartment that can host 4 to 6 ppl.

Lovely apartment close to the sea. Comfortable stay.

The kitchen tap was slightly loose which made it tricky to use without messing. Just need to be tightened. Would be good if they can provide basics like salt, pepper and olive oil.

Light fresh and modern in a secure gated estate with direct access to the beach . Ample parking and lovely light . A great boutique upmarket OK shop and Pili Pili restaurant on the beach.

The access control to the beach was broken ( no fault of the owners) making beach and return through the beach gate impossible.Being at Kabeljous means you are right at the end of Jbay point which may be a big far out for those without a car.

Everything we needed. Absolutely loved it.

Just a suggestion. Although they come to clean after the stay, a mop and vacuum just in case.

We rented 2 apartments and they were both clean and we had a lovely stay

Apartment A had cigarette smell 😒 the first day we checked in. Which means the previous people that stayed there were smoking inside the house instead of the balcony/ patio. That almost spoiled our vacation as I have allergies 🤧. We were able to sort this out ourselves

The location was excellent — close to shops and just a short walk to the beach. There were plenty of activities nearby and a great variety of restaurants to choose from, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

Nothing -nou maar toe🤪

The views were lovely. We loved the fact that our apartment was upstairs, felt more secluded. It is very quiet.

Only issue was the tap in the main bedroom and kitchen, could use a tighten or a fitting replacement but other than that, nothing to dislike.

Beautiful Place, a lot bigger than it seems in the pictures. Owner very helpful.

The unit was clean and well-equiped. It was very comfortable and any issues that we had were promptly responded to. The host was also very friendly and helpful!

First impressions were great, modern, spacious, clean and close to the beach. Shop also around the corner. Enough space for surfboards and wetsuits to dry, outdoor shower to wash down boards and rinse when you enter from the beach side. The waves were great every single day!! JBay is the place to be, thank you Kabeljou Beach Cottage for our lovely stay!!

Very beautiful apartment with direct beach access! The host Claudia was extremely thoughtful and proactive.

We only got one roll of toilet paper per bathroom. There was also no shower gel/soap in the showers.

I had the pleasure of staying at this apartment over the long weekend, and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the modern design and the immaculate condition of the space - neat, tidy and thoughtfully put together. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, with a beautiful breeze flowing through the apartment that made it feel fresh and airy throughout the day. Its the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle - a true home away from home. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat or a stylish base to explore the area, this apartment delivers on every front. Highly recommended!

Just that they stay was too short....had to get back to reality

The space and openness of apartment

Dishwasher was left with food pieces. No braaitongs and braai cassorole

the location had easy direct access to the beach and not far from a choice of restaurant

we had a blocked shower drain

It was conveniently located close to the sea, a nice restaurant, and a small convenience shop, making it easy to access essentials and enjoy local dining options. The apartment was spacious providing ample comfort for our stay. It was well-equipped with the necessary utensils and a backup inverter. I was pleasantly surprised when, since there were no other bookings upon our checkout, we were allowed to stay longer, which added to the overall positive and very pleasant experience.

I did notice a slight smell in the bedding of the main bedroom. Despite this minor issue, I thoroughly enjoyed my time and would recommend this place for its location and spaciousness.

Definitely booking again!

Perfect location, the apartment was beautiful and few minutes walk to the beach.

N/A

Location is perfect.

Modern open plan

No seaview

Close to beach

A short walk to the beach which is so convenient. Nice sea views from the balcony and guest room.

When we arrived the bedding in the main room smelled damp and awful. I think the bed was made while the bedding was still damp. The smell stank out the whole room. Some of our drinking glasses were dirty. The WiFi is a disaster and only works in some areas of the house, and then it disconnects and reconnects randomly. When I contacted the host (whom I assume is the agent) her attitude was that she would bring new bedding on Monday (we arrived on the Saturday), which I deemed unacceptable, so then she brought it on the Sunday, but only because I insisted. In general, the cleanliness of the place wasn’t up to scratch. The dish drying cloths also smelled strange. The kitchen is badly stocked - it has one tiny whisk, no sharp knives, no dustpan and brush ( which I had to request), no basics like coffee or tea on arrival, no cleaning products aside from dishwashing liquid. The kitchen tap was loose and they came to ‘fix’ it, but it just came loose again. The chain on the braai was broken. Both bedside lamps in the main room couldn’t be used - one had a broken plug and the other plug had been cut off. When I asked for some kind of refund, I was told no refund would be given. At R11000 for a week, I feel we did not get our money’s worth. I also felt the agent’s attitude was not helpful, despite her multiple messages saying that she’s ’committed to service’ - honestly this just felt like something she said because she knew it was expected, not because she was actually willing to solve any of the problems in a timely manner.It’s obvious the place isn’t checked by anyone and that the cleaning staff are the only ones who ‘check’ the place before guests arrive. Not worth the price tag at all and not managed by someone who understands being in the hospitality industry.

Close to beach

Nothing

I liked everything about the place

Nothing i font want to lie
