The ocean in front of The Beach House is alive with whales and dolphins giving us their daily show. How amazing to see all this from the comfort of the lounge and patio at The Beach House!

The house has beautiful views and is well equipped but unfortunately it is like an arrogant woman who relies solely on her looks to get through life and completely lacks any sort of warmth or personality. Though not without some magical moments, was one of the very few places we were only too happy to check out early from. When we initially made our booking, 6 months in advance, we advised the owner that we do all our own cleaning, which is standard practice when we travel. However on arrival we were informed (telephonically) that the on-site domestic worker needed to come in daily to make sure it wouldn't take her "10 hours" to clean up after we left. Ok then! Perhaps they have had bad guests before so it would be understandable if they are distrustful initially - but even after the second day when our guests had left and the domestic had seen how spotless the place was she STILL had to come check up on us every day. We felt it was very unprofessional that she entered through the back door whenever she pleased without warning. Although this is the only house on the road with electric fencing, (which might make some people feel safer) this was the first time anybody had ever tried to break in at any of the over 40 places we have visited in the last 4 years. Needless to say we did not sleep as peacefully as we usually do when visiting the South Coast. The real shocker was that although it cost just less than R500 per person per night, no toilet paper is supplied! That really was a first for us. Even the cheapest accommodation we have rented in the last four years has supplied toilet paper. Most also supply soap, even if it just one of those tiny little bars. The view is really stunning and we saw lots of whales and dolphins but the lack of usual South Coast hospitality really put a dampener on our stay here.
Perfect place to rest and get away from all the noise. It is also pet friendly which is a plus when you have 4 legged family to take with on holiday.
Best view ever. Great service. Very relaxing also pet friendly
Location was nice, on our stay there it was a long weekend. Including the price the house worker cleans and do laundry if you want her to. Every morning she will come in while we asleep and check up to see if there are other people. It's like getting spied on. The worker asked if she can go home to her kida for the long weekend as I said yes of course, I don't mind. After 2 weeks I asked for my deposit back as conveniently the owners forgot to pay it back. The they worker accused me of having someone extra there without paying. An argument between me and the owner then confirmed that the worker lied and said she was there and working the whole weekend. Just to cover her arse. It's a disgrace. O and you have to take your own toilet paper and dish washing liquid ect. Pretty cheap from the owners. Won't stay there again.
Well kept with an ocean view, Sleeps 8 people and is nicely decorated. Veronica who stays on the premise is also friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed staying here, however patchy cell signal and no wi-fi facilities make communication tedious
Great accommodation and decor with the beach just outside the door.
