Fantastic. Unfortunately we couldn't stay there long, the beach had been closed for 2 months. We weren't aware, so we moved on to the 2nd day.

Fantasties. Ons kon ongelukkig nie lank daar bly nie, die strand al vir 2 maande gesluit. Ons was nie bewus nie, so ons het getrek na die 2de dag.

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide feedback. The beach is open for swimming in the sea again. The municipality has replaced the water pumps that prevent things from entering the sea water. Keeping the sea clean is a big priority for the coastal municipalities.

Baie dankie vir die tyd wat jy gebruik het om terugvoering te gee. Die strand is weer oop vir swem in die see. Die munisipaliteit het die waterpompe vervang wat keer dat daar goed in die seewater inloop. Dis 'n groot prioriteit op die kus se munisipaliteite om die see skoon te hou.

Breathtaking view with the lapping of waves. This unit has a breathtaking view. The waves can be heard from all the rooms. Rooms have large sliding doors that invite the view and ensure wonderful air flow. The unit is very comfortable – there are only six coffee mugs, which is frustrating, but otherwise everything you need is there. The dishwasher is a bonus! There was ample fridge/freezer space. The rooms are tastefully furnished with finesse in the choice of paintings and “scatter” cushions. Linen is clean, white and of good quality. The master bedroom has a shower with three settings (right from above – “forest rain” effect, neck height, hip height). The second bathroom has two shower heads for a “his & hers” experience. The towels are clean and intact, but bath sheets could definitely be considered / new fluffy towels. The bedrooms are on the ground floor, and so is the braai area. It is inconvenient with the kitchen on the first floor. A portable small braai is on the first floor which does compensate. The first floor veranda has comfortable sofas and a dining table. The sliding doors in the living room slide completely open to invite the sea experience inside. The lounge sofas (pink set) are a bit deep. We moved the black sofa to also be able to look out – it sits wonderfully comfortably. Be careful of the upstairs toilet – there is an unexpected staircase that often surprises you. Since the rooms are on a different level than the living room/kitchen, you can be sure that you will achieve your “Vitality steps” goal, and not gain weight on your holiday. On average, I clocked 18 floors per day on my watch. Take candles with you for the candle holders to give a romantic feel – there is a jar on the veranda to place them in. The unit has an alarm with “beams” that can be activated at night – you can sleep with peace of mind. The security quickly called after we accidentally set off the alarm. Access to the beach is easy if you turn left outside the premises – about 300 m further there is beach access. It is clean and open. Remember your beach umbrella! The “garage” parking is super small and not at all suitable for any car larger than a Polo. It is right in front of the only entrance for two units; therefore people are pushing past if your vehicle is larger. The parking right in front of the garage is also very small and on a slope – not suitable for a stroller / something that needs a weak handbrake – also too small for a double cab bakkie. We would like to go again, for a longer period, with a smaller vehicle.

Asemrowende uitsig met die geklots van branders. Hierdie eenheid het ’n asemrowende uitsig. Uit al die kamers is die branders hoorbaar. Kamers het groot skuifdeure wat die uitsig innooi en heerlike lugvloei verseker. Die eenheid is baie gerieflik – daar is slegs ses koffiebekers, wat frustrerend is, maar verder is alles wat jy benodig daar. Die skottelgoedwasser is ’n bonus! Daar was voldoende yskas-/vrieskasspasie. Die kamers is smaakvol gemeubileer met finesse in die keuse van skilderye en “scatter”-kussings. Linne is skoon, wit en van goeie gehalte. Die hoofslaapkamer het ’n stort met drie verstellings (reg van bo – “forest rain”-effek, nekhoogte, heuphoogte). Die tweede badkamer het twee stortkoppe vir ’n “his & hers”-ervaring. Die handdoeke is skoon en heel, maar badlakens kan beslis oorweeg word / nuwe donsige handdoeke. Die slaapkamers is op die grondvloer, en so ook die braai-area. Dis ongerieflik met die kombuis op die eerste vloer. ’n Draagbare klein braai is op die eerste vloer wat wel kompenseer. Die eerste vloer se stoep het gemaklike banke en ’n eettafel. Die skuifdeure in die woonkamer skuif heeltemal oop om die see-ervaring binne te nooi. Sitkamerbanke (pienkstel) sit ’n bietjie diep. Die swart bank het ons geskuif om ook te kan uitkyk – dit sit heerlik gemaklik. Wees versigtig vir die boonste toilet – daar is ’n onverwagse trappie wat mens dikwels verras. Aangesien die kamers op ’n ander vlak is as die woonkamer/kombuis, kan jy vir seker wees dat jy jou “Vitality steps”-doelwit gaan maak, en nie gewig aansit met jou vakansie nie. Gemiddeld het ek 18 verdiepings per dag op my horlosie geklok. Neem kerse saam vir die kershouers om ’n romantiese gevoel te gee – daar is ’n pot op die stoep om dit in te plaas. Die eenheid het ’n alarm met “beams” wat in die nag geaktiveer kan word – jy kan slaap met gerustheid. Die sekuriteit het flink geskakel nadat ons per abuis die alarm laat afgaan het. Toegang tot die strand is gemaklik indien jy buite die perseel links draai – so 300 m verder is daar strandtoegang. Dis skoon en oop. Onthou jou strandsambreel! Die “garage”-parkering is super klein en glad nie geskik vir enige kar groter as ’n Polo nie. Dit is reg voor die enigste toegang vir twee eenhede; derhalwe skuur mense verby as jou voertuig groter is. Die parkering reg voor die garage is ook baie klein en op ’n skuinste – nie geskik vir ’n waentjie / iets wat ’n swak handrem benodig nie – ook te klein vir ’n dubbelkajuitbakkie. Ons sal graag weer wil gaan, vir ’n langer periode, met ’n kleiner voertuig.

A lot of driving. The unit needs reasonable attention.

Baie ry. Die eenheid kort redelike aandag.

It was a pleasure to visit here. The service from day one was excellent with Karin. She was on the ball with als. The apartment is well located and tidy. Father-in-law was sitting in his (Cinema) enjoying his TV. Saw lots of dolphins and whales. Wife was in her element, as were the children. We really had a great time. Thanks again to Karin. I also give her 5 stars.

Dit was 'n plesier om hier te kuier. Die diens van dag een af was uitstekend met Karin. Sy was op die bol met als. Die woonstel is goed geleë en netjies. Skoonpa het in sy (Cinema) gesit en sy TV geniet. Baie dolfyne en walvis gesien. Vrou was in haar noppies, so ook die kinders. Ons het regtig lekker gekuier. Nogmaals dankie aan Karin. Ek gee haar ook 5 sterre.

If you are looking for a sea view and the sound of waves in your ears. The apartment is excellent location. Comfortably furnished. Beautiful views. We had a very nice stay.

As jy soek vir 'n see uitsig en die gedruis van golwe in jou ore. Die woonstel is uitstekende ligging. Gemaklik ingerig. Pragtige uitsigte. Ons het baie lekker gebly.

We really enjoyed the holiday despite some disappointing things at La Pirogue 1. Prop247's management of La Pirogue 1 is not effective: When we arrived the blind fell off in one room and it was not fixed until 10 days later. We couldn't use the third room at all for 10 days because of that. The cleaning services do not clean the braai as advertised. The oven is so dirty it is unusable. We had to wash the towels ourselves to get the sour smell out and the place needs a "fumigation" (there are a lot of cockroaches). We also suggested to Prop247 that more plates and cups be purchased so that one does not have to wash dishes after every meal (only 6 cups and 8 plates are too few). The parking is very tight and difficult to get in/out especially if someone is in the parking next to it, but it is doable. La Pirogue 1 has a lot of potential (all the amenities one needs) and is beautifully located, but needs better maintenance, otherwise guests will not be able to enjoy it.

Ons het die vakansie baie geniet ten spyte van 'n paar teleurstellende goed by La Pirogue 1. Prop247 se bestuur van La Pirogue 1 is nie effektief nie: Toe ons daar aankom het die blinder in die een kamer afgeval en dit was eers 10 dae later reggemaak. Ons kon vir 10 dae glad nie die derde kamer gebruik nie as gevolg daarvan. Die skoonmaakdienste maak nie die braai skoon soos adverteer nie. Die oond is so vuil dis onbruikbaar. Ons moes self die handdoeke was om die suur reuk uit te kry en die plek kort 'n "fumigation" (daar is baie kakkerlakke). Ons het ook aan Prop247 voorgestel dat daar meer borde en koppies aangeskaf word sodat mens nie na elke maaltyd moet skottelgoed was nie (net 6 koppies en 8 borde is te min). Die parkering is baie knap en moeilik om in/uit te kom veral as iemand in die parkering langsaan is, maar dis doenbaar. La Pirogue 1 het baie potensiaal (al die geriewe wat mens nodig het) en is pragtig geleë, maar moet beter onderhou word, anders sal gaste dit nie kan geniet nie.

It was lovely, everything you need was there, neat and clean. Parking at No. 1 is a bit difficult if there is someone in Nr. 3 also is but is possible. Wasn't sure about the alarm either, the people who clean put the alarm on when they're done and you don't know it's on.

Dit was heerlik, alles wat jy nodig het was daar, netjies en skoon. Parkering by Nr. 1 is 'n bietjie moelik as daar iemand in Nr. 3 ook is maar is moontlik. Is ook nie seker van die alarm gewees nie, die mense wat skoonmaak sit die alarm aan as hulle klaar is en jy weet dan nie dat dit aan is nie.

Quick getaway, just what we were looking for. If I have to complain about something, it's the kitchen that lacks work. The dish cloths did not smell good, we could not use them. We had to wash some of the pots and pans before we could use them. One pot was terribly dirty on the outside. The gas grill is rusted underneath and moving it around is quite difficult. The parking is a problem, especially if you have a large vehicle like us. Amazing view from the porch, just what I was looking for.

Vinnige wegbreek, net wat ons gesoek het. As ek moet kla oor iets, dan is dit die kombuis wat werk kort. Die skottelgoed lappe het nie lekker geruik nie, ons kon dit nie gebruik nie. Ons moes van die potte en panne eers was voor ons dit kon gebruik. Die een pot was vreeslik vuil aan die buite kant. Die gasbraaier is geroes onder en om dit rond te skuif is nogal moeilik. Die parkering is 'n problem, veral as jy 'n groot voertuig het soos ons. Wonderlike uitsig vanaf die stoep, net wat ek gesoek het.

Very nice. Very nice place. Furniture may be replaced for the price one pays.

Baie lekker. Baie mooi plek. Meubels kan dalk vervang word vir die prys wat mens betaal.

Lovely vacation at the beach. We enjoyed our time at the beach. The house has a beautiful location right next to the beach. The view is breathtaking and we enjoyed the sunrise every morning.

Baie lekker vakansie by die see. Ons het ons kort rukkie by die see geniet. Die huis is pragtig geleë en reg by die strand. Die uitsig is asemrowend en het elke oggend die sonsopkoms geniet.
