“Misleading and poorly maintained”
+The proximity to the beach was fantastic Also the agent was great, when we told her of our disappointment she moved us immediately. The new place was wonderful
−The property is very underwhelming, the description was greatly misleading and the photos are about 10yrs out of date. It is certainly not a 4 bedroom house. One "bedroom" are the bunk beds set into the wall in the hallway next to the TV room (no privacy or noise prevention) the other bedroom is upstairs from the TV room with no door and half a slatted wall, again meaning zero chance of avoiding noise. No bedroom has two single beds like shown in the pictures. The house is falling apart with half the lights not working and a leak in the ceiling. It is very old, been badly maintained with strange renovations been carried out

“Good and comfortable”
+Excellent location. Clean and comfortable.
−Some more lighting in the diningroom and sunroom would be a good idea. Little touches like leaving some basics like salt and pepper and dishwashing tablets would go a long way to improving overall rating.

“Wonderful beach house in the perfect location”
+Location is perfect for checking out the waves to surf. Location is perfect for walking to the beach, hiking trials and cafes and restaurants. The artifacts and artwork were very interesting pieces. We loved our short stay x
−no fans except in upstairs bedroom. think in summer the bedrooms would get very hot for sleeping.

“We loved Cape St Francis and Tranquility - wish we could have stayed longer.”
+Excellent location - walking distance to the beach and an easy (although a bit longer) walk to the lighthouse. The house contained everything we needed, and it was neat and clean.
−Shower water is heated by means of a gas geyser and, if you are not familiar with gas, it can be a bit daunting. Guests need to be advised to open the hot tap fully so as to ensure that the geyser ignites straight away otherwise the trickle of gas causes a very loud bang ( which caused the youngest member of our party some panic ).

−House is a bit cold and dark
