Janice was very helpful to us when checking in. She checked in on us by text and suggested attending a special fish bbq at a restaurant. The view is stupendous of the beach, waves, and bay. The location is convenient within a short walk from restaurants, grocery store, beach, and hiking trails.

Beautiful location. This wooden cottage is beautifully build with amazing woodwork and attention to detail. It is comfortable and warm. Love that there is only nature to entertain and no TV. Wifi was great only one spot in the bed area has no signal.
Wifi was great only one spot in the bed area has no signal at all.
I would add another shelf in the bathroom where you can put down clothes etc. the basin cupboard is just a bit too small to put down things.

Amazing location over the beautiful Scarborough beach. Secluded in the hills and trees it is a peaceful sanctuary. Perfect for those who like to catch sunsets, hike, or enjoy the beach. The small village has hippie, surfing vibes and all the amenities you might need, with the camel rock pub that also sells provisions, and a healthy cafe.
There was ample parking in the shade which was really useful, with a car you can explore the whole peninsula and city, with really easy access to Simon's Town and Cape Point.
The property used lots of wood and felt really natural, the view from the bathroom was such a cute touch. A braai station, an outdoor bed for relaxing, a hammock and a spacious covered kitchen area that really blend outdoor and indoor.
Janis was really lovely, wish we had spent more time getting to know her and the three lovely well behaved dogs too, but our itinerary was jam-packed. She was really accessible through WhatsApp which made everything easier.
WiFi was really good to say we felt like we were on the edge of the world!! The peace and tranquility here is really inspiring. The night sky was incredible from the balcony.
Scarborough is very hippie and chill, lots of barefoot folks and a very relaxed nature. It has white sands and cool sea with a lot of motion as it's on the Atlantic side. Sleeping with the sound of crashing waves was life-changing, I have never slept better.
Be prepared to fall in love with Scarborough!
Wish we could have stayed longer!

The openness and the feeling that you were far far away and yet you were just an hour away from CT
Not much. It was cozy. Just what we needed

Loved the view, and the peace and quiet, awesome shower, great pressure and ample hot water.
Personally I’d change the bulbs to a warm white instead of a cool white, but that just my personal preference : )

Most things but, there was still room for improvement
One could not sit under the patio when it rained. No Hammock as in the photos on the website. The fridge/freezer needed to be de-frosted.

Setting is beautiful. Personal service. Convenient location to the village hub.
Maybe the quality of the cutlery and glasses can improve.

Absolutely loved Janis and the dogs, along with the beautiful treetop cabins. She really went out of her way to ensure we had a comfortable stay and informed us about any events happening in town. It really was one of the best experiences.

The treetop cabins give you a glamping feeling. Loved the privacy on the deck and the outside shower. We enjoyed the ocean view for days and wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely a recommendation!
If afraid of Baboons, watch out for their visits.

We stayed in Treetops and it was like staying in a treehouse! we absolutely loved it and had so much fun. the owner, Janis, said it was like “glamping” however the rooms are indoors so did not feel like camping at all. the owner and her husband were amazing and very welcoming and we had a nice cuddle with their dog, Storm. We will definitely be back as soon as possible!
I didn’t like that I had to leave and go back home.

We loved the rustic camping feel of the place and enjoyed the owner's dogs. If you want to get away from it all for a few days in nature this is just great!
The outdoor shower is fantastic, but a bit drafty when a cold wind blows through. The directions were very hard to follow, a pindrop would be very helpful to find the place.

We loved our stay at the olive cottage ! It was spacious enough for us and very clean. The shower had good water pressure and the bed was super comfy. You can see the sea from the balcony and some amazing sunsets too. Staying at the cottage was very relaxing and we could have stayed there for much longer than the 4 days we had booked for. The WIFI was very good in the cottage. There is a restaurant and Deli down the road from the cottage.
We couldn't fault anything at the cottage. We had a blocked shower one day, and Janis sorted that out very quickly :) Everything was just perfect.

Truly one of the most amazing places I have ever stayed at. The comfort, the spectacular views, the hospitality were all amazing! Janis is truly a gem. Felt the experience of nature and a breath of fresh air. Also felt completely safe. Again. The views from the Treetops cabins are breathtaking!!!

I loved that the kitchen facilities had about everything you needed saving a lot of packing. With everything from a microwave to gas burner with pots and pans and a plunger for coffee.
The bathroom facilities were clean and had a great view of the ocean. There was hot water throughout the day.
It is nice and quiet if you want to break away from the busy city life. So no noisy neighbour's.
The rooms can get quite hot when the door is closed so if you have communal facilities you might struggle with privacy at times.
There were a lot of stairs so it gives you quite a workout.
I would have loved to see more photos online with descriptions of the different types of rooms.

absolutely nothing

This place was had a warm, cosy, romantic vibe. It is small but spacious and the rustic finishes makes the ambience even better. Not a wide open view of the ocean, but more than enough to give you the feeling that you’re “on the beach”. Would definitely recommend it for a quiet, romantic getaway!
Slightly too much trees in front of the house, blocking a magnificent view of the ocean

The weekend was the epitome of tranquility!!!
Breath taking view, comfortable king sized hammock, comfortable day bed.
Games as well as books at your disposal.
Room is warm and gives off a relaxed cabin feel.
Will definitely be back.
Camel Rock restaurant, mini retail store and beach just a walk away, no need for a vehicle really. The live band at the restaurant was the ‘cherry on top’ for me. What a beautiful weekend away. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What an amazing host who genuinely wants her guests to have a pleasant stay. She’s always available when you need her.
Oh and beautiful hot hot hot showers 😃🙏🏽
The dog secretions outside the cabin room. But not Hosts fault.

L’emplacement est idéal, proche des commerces et de la plage. En même temps il est suffisamment éloigné pour être à l’abris des regards.
Il n’y a aucun vis à vis, la vue sur la mer est époustouflante.
Le logement comporte assez de surface et d’équipements pour passer un séjour confortable.
Il y a un parking facile d’accès.
La grande terrasse ouverte permet de vivre et dormir au grand air, de façon sécurisée. Cela a été notre plus grand luxe.
L’accueil de Janis et ses trois chiens a été très chaleureux. Janis nous a donné beaucoup de conseils sur les activités à faire aux alentours, ainsi que les restaurants et les commerces.
