Oubaai Villa

The villa itself is absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking views from every angle. We really enjoyed the setting and the overall experience, and honestly, we felt like extending our stay. However, there were a few things that could be improved. When we arrived, the pool was quite dirty. We requested that it be cleaned, but unfortunately, someone was only sent to attend to it two days later. We also noticed that the reed roof and blinds can create an unpleasant smell inside the villa, particularly when the house has been closed up for an extended period. Given the presence of vervet monkeys in the area, it is understandable that guests may not always be able to leave the windows open for ventilation. I would therefore suggest that the housekeeping team thoroughly pre-clean and air out the villa on the day of arrival, where possible, to ensure that guests are welcomed by a fresh and pleasant atmosphere. Despite these issues, we genuinely enjoyed our stay. The villa is beautiful, the views are breathtaking, and we had a wonderful time overall. With a little more attention to the pre-arrival cleaning and pool maintenance, the experience could be exceptional.

Loved this villa - we were playing golf so it was ideal location for us. but not near restaurants other than the clubhouse/hotel so we self catered (popped into George to the supermarkets). We really enjoyed the space and the feeling of home. the little dipping pool was nice on the hot days. The kitchen was well kitted out and we appreciated the water and milk / tea and coffee already present. The bedrooms are a good size and plenty of space to put clothes etc. We used the garage to store our golf clubs overnight. The views across the gorge were lovely in the morning and we could see to the 6th hole on the golf course (at a distance). The agent for the villa was very responsive and all the instructions on how to get to the villa were spot on (be aware the google pin if you look ahead of time on Google Earth is in the wrong spot). The security is very tight at the gate - driving licences required each time plus the PIN code the agent sends. The area is very safe as a result.

As mentioned in other reviews there is no air con at the property. And the fans that are provided are not up to the job. My husband found it a bit tricky sleeping as he gets quite hot. It would be better if the property either put in ceiling fans or had the larger portable fans. We didn't mind the the lack of black out blinds as we are early risers but I think if you like to sleep in or have children it might be more difficult. I would also add a few kitchen things - a potato peeler, washing up liquid, cling film (or tubs to store food in the fridge) and some dishcloths. We didn't find the remote to use the garage door - unsure if it was at the property but am sure the agent would have sorted it if we needed it.

This house offered everything we wished for and fulfilled all our needs. The spacious rooms and bathrooms were great ,smart Tv in lounge. Kitchen with everything you need. The sparkling pool and outdoor seating comfortable and an entertainments dream. Open plan and modern but homely and perfect for our family stay. Thank you we will surely recommend this.

Not a deal breaker but the curtains are not block out and the sun sure wakes you up early. No Aircon in rooms or roof fans. Small mobile fan had to suffice.
