The location was fantastic! We loved being so close to the ocean.
The unit was clean and neat.
The host was easy to communicate with and very friendly.
We really enjoyed our stay, but a few small changes could make the room even better. There wasn’t a counter space in the room to prepare food on — perhaps the two chairs could be replaced with a countertop in front of the window to create a small working or dining area. A microwave would also be a lovely addition. We also noticed the outside lighting wasn’t quite enough for an evening braai.

You cannot find any place better! The location is on the oceanfront. We cannot stop talking about this place! We do recommend this place; it is very clean, the staff is very nice and the facilities are amazing!

The location was amazing! Proximity to the beach was incredible. Felt like a dream. Beds were comfy, and the house was clean and tidy. Appreciated having everything we needed readily available. The small touches of care (some toiletries in the bathroom for example) were thoughtful. John was kind enough to source fresh seafood for us, he made us extra comfy with outside furniture for us to relax on the beach sand and it felt private even though the hosts are on the same property. Thanks for a great experience to John and his wife.

We absolutely loved every minute of our stay. A few meters away from the water, with everything we needed for a "glamping" experience. I loved the patio furniture with the umbrella, making hours of reading, listening to the ocean and watching the birds an unforgettable experience.
The bedding was crisp, the room spotless. Blue, the resident Boerboel, was the absolute highlight of our stay.
No microwave, but an electrical frying pan made up for it.
Without taking away from the overall excellent experience, perhaps adjust the towel rail in the bathroom a little higher, and provide a frying pan (for outside use) in your very well stocked braai box. The electrical frying pan was a nice touch, however, being able to fry a quick egg on the fire is always nice for an outside breakfast.

Fantastic Stay – Highly Recommend!
I had an amazing experience staying at this property! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and quick to respond to any questions, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The house is in the perfect location, just 10 meters from the beach, which made for some beautiful views and easy access to the shore.
The rooms were spotless, and the bathroom and kitchen were well-maintained with everything you need. The comfortable beds made for restful nights, and the added bonus of DSTV and a flatscreen TV in the living area was perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach.
Overall, everything exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely be returning for another stay. Highly recommend!

You can’t get closer to the ocean - this spot is literally 5 meters aways from the water and you stay basically on the beach - nice linen and warm water. For people living outside and enjoying the sea - especially the west-coast - this is excellent! Sea kayaking great. Take your camping chairs and a small table along for a romantic private beach dinner.
This is glamping and you need to be prepared for basics - although there is a nice fan and a huge umbrella - in mid summer you need to be prepared for full sun. Luckily the west coast breeze cool you down but sunburn will be a given if you are not prepared -

The sea view and location was amazing!
For a long stay there is no kitchen but we dined out so it wasn't a problem.

Beach Shanties was just what we needed to charge some very flat batteries! We were right on the beach, and it couldn´t have been more perfect. Our little house had everything needed, and we had a very comfortable 3 days. Hopefully we will have another opportunity to stay there!

What an amazing place. If you want peace and tranquility then this is the place to go.
A few steps from the sea with the most breath taking views.
We managed to see seals and penguins but unfortunately the dolphins did not visit. So many rock pools to explore and take a dip in.
Our hosts where super people and went out of their their way to make as feel welcome and make our stay enjoyable.
Maybe a place to hang wet costumes and towels to dry.

Host were super friendly, Happy to assist with all requests. We were able to get wood for our fire and free ice :-). The Braai and bins were cleaned daily for the duration of our stay. A rechargeable lamp was provided for loadshedding :-). DSTV is avail, which was great. Wifi was available aswell, but signal not quite strong. Beds and bedding were clean and fresh. You can take a lovely walk along the beach and see all the sealife between the rocks at low tide. We saw Seals, Penguins and Dolphins. Lots of shells on the shore aswell to collect :-) We took a walk to the little coffee shop up the road, great view of the ocean and you can feed the little goats and Donkey.
The unit didnt have a microwave and even though it had a mini stove and oven.. it needed to be moved to where you could plug it in, not a train smash, but could be better placed for ease of use. As it was a 4 sleeper, we only had one small frying pan to prepare breakfast for 4 guests. Perhaps there could be a small line to hang wet towels after a dip in the ocean :-).

Close by the sea, nice spot.
Worst accommodation ever. If you weigh more than 70 kg DON'T even consider it, you won't fit in. Merely 2m wide, only a double bed with one side table fits in the wudth. The shower hardly a meter by half a meter, no bathroom door, you can hardly brush your teeth in the basin so small. Both hands hardly fit in. Maybe it was built for dwarfs NOT for average size travellers. Terrible accommodation
NO kitchenware for self catering.
