“A perfect homebase for exploring the Garden Route between George and Plettenberg.”
+Clear Communications with Owner. Most light fittings/ cupboards have name tags for instructions. Security cameras at front entrance. House is perfect for 4 couples or extended families or the business travel groups. Ample parking for at least 4 cars and a small recreational boat/ bush trailer. The entrance bridge and walk-in flow to the front seating room with the most spectacular view. 4 Bedrooms: 2 * double bed with en-suite bathrooms, and 2 * 2 quarter beds. All Rooms fitted with TV and extra blankets and patio/veranda area with small table and chairs. Top and bottom mezzanine have additional bathroom facilities. Lower deck: Good entertainment area with 10 seater table outside veranda with deck chairs and braai facility. Big kitchen and center cooking island. Small laundry room at back. Various Bird Life visiting the Deck : spotted three Knysna Lorries (~Tauraco corythaix).
−The view over shadow any bad reviews yet the house could use some TLC : Garden lights need upgrade. New carpet in seating area, new veranda-deck chairs, good paint of varnish to the wooden deck. The kitchen crockery and cookware very basic (yet functional) - would like to have had some glass casserole and serving dishes. The entertainment area's silk plant palm trees need refurbishment. Some outside garden trees on sides of veranda needs pruning back for more view enjoyment.

+The size of the home is huge, Eric was always available and accommodating. The beds were very comfortable, and the views were out of this world!
−The house could do with a little TLC. Its positioning is absolutely prime, and with a little effort, the house could be exceptional 👌. Just a little attention to detail would make the world of difference! Fan in the main bedroom not working, drains in the bathroom blocked, just neaten the place up a bit and fix the outdoor furniture and fixtures and this place would be so much more appealing. Overall, we enjoyed our 3 night stay and just overlooked the faults. Eric is really welcoming and friendly, and communicating with him was easy.

+The location of this place was fantastic and views were unparalleled. Host was not in this country but tried to accommodate as best he could with amenities.
−This house was not clean when we arrived and lacked basic utensils. The house is large and it was super dusty. The windows were not clean. It did not have blankets or heaters for the cold. The electricity kept tripping and our food in the fridge get defrosting or going off. The agent who took care of the house could only come at certain hours so most times we would wait. We waited for a while to get in to the house and when the electricity tripped we waited in the dark for a long time as well.

“Best view”
+The view is SPECTACULAR from every room in the house. Every bedroom has its own verandah to chill and watch the waves break. The beds are very comfortable and the showers have great pressure.
−The motor for the driveway gate and entrance to the property is broken. This needs a strong person to push open and close. The jacuzzi in the middle of the dining room is broken. The house is unfortunately under equipped. The kitchen utensils/serving dishes are very limited and not enough seating in the lounge and on the deck ( unless you use the camping chairs). The lounge suite and carpet have stains. All these negatives can however easily be corrected.

“Comfortable the view made up for the rest of the house.”
+The view is absolutely beautiful.
−The house needs upgrading, especially the towels, crockery. Out of 5 tvs only 1 worked. No backup of tv during loadshedding.

“Stunning view but desperately needing some investment and tender loving care!”
+The best thing about this property is it's location and view. Eric, the host was so obliging and really went above and beyond to make our stay great. Plenty of wood for the braai and the fire pit. Getting us wine when all the liquor stores were closed. And keeping us up to date with the rolling blackouts/load shedding times. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were clean.
−My goodness, where to start? the kitchen was filthy, the oven didn't work, there was no hot water in the kitchen. The only outside furniture was a few fold out camping chairs and and very old and worn out table and couch which we never used. The dinning room table had only six chairs that were functioning and the rest where stacked in a corner along with broken side tables. The ceiling fans did not work in any of the rooms. The back door out of the laundry did not lock but had a steel burglar door which made it safe. The place is in deperate need of some tender loving care and some investment. We made the most of it because there was not where else to go. The view and the proximity to the beach made up for it but we really had to overlook the huge number of negatives to enjoy our stay.
