Unwind, relax and make fire! If you want to escape from your busy life and just want to switch off, No. 24 is highly recommended. The place has everything you need and it's cosy. I enjoyed the fact that there's no TV. You can just communicate and "connect" with your loved ones. I had a run-in with a baboon that added some excitement in a chilled and tranquil space. I will definitely recommend this to anyone who even thinks of needing a break. We will be back for sure.

Not value for money. The house has no to little light and the low beam lights do not work. None of the bathrooms have a light and there is also no light at the indoor braai which has such a low opening that you struggle to turn the grate. The microwave is on a slanted board and just wants to fall off. The outdoor braai seating is so rusty you don't want to sit on it. My wife and I were both bitten during the night and the spots are struggling to heal.

Morning Arnold Thank you so much for your message! The listing does mention that the house is equipped with solar power and candles for lighting. However, to ensure you have the most accurate and up-to-date information, we’ll reach out to the platform to confirm the details regarding the lighting setup at the property. Kind regards Sharon

The house was not as comfortable as I hoped for it to be. Wouldn't book again. The house is very stuffy and dusty; it definitely smells like it has stood closed for months and is poorly ventilated, especially the bedrooms. The lights situation is ridiculous; the portable lamps were not charged, so we were unable to use them. It gets pitch dark at night, and it's unacceptable and a safety hazard that there are no lights outside. The plug-in lights inside the house are also not sufficient. Personal touches are definitely missed; there is no air freshener in any of the bathrooms, and you are literally given the bare minimum.

Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. While the house is regularly booked and not closed for extended periods, we understand that each guest's experience is unique and value your perspective. The property does have windows that can be opened and a fan in each bedroom, but you’re right that the lighting and number of electrical outlets are quite basic. We appreciate you highlighting this and will look into updating the listing to better reflect the simplicity and quirky nature of the space. As a self-catering home, we provide a starter pack of essentials to help guests settle in, though we understand this may not meet every need throughout a stay. We also don’t currently provide air fresheners in the bathrooms, but we’ll certainly take this into consideration. We take your review seriously and plan to add new rechargeable lights to improve comfort. Thank you again for helping us improve.

Quiet and peaceful. Very pleasant place for a short vacation. Although the customer service and cleanliness of the house was disappointing. Upon arrival there were still kitchen and braai items that had not been washed. The coffee pot was already moldy and the kitchen drain was blocked. This was reported to Be in Betty's, although they did not respond or send help for the kitchen sink. Otherwise a beautiful house in a pleasant area.

We are so incredibly sorry to hear how badly we fell through the cracks here! We usually try to make sure all our guests are happy and that they want to book with us again. The fact that we were in our busy peak season and that Sunday morning there were other people in the house who checked out late is in no way an excuse. We should have handled the matter better and would have definitely gotten back to you if your message had not been lost among many others. We wish you had had the courage to give us a call or follow up; we would have gladly sent a cleaning crew and replaced the coffee pot. We are glad you enjoyed the house and area. Please give us another chance, we would love to host you again.

Okay with all the necessary kitchen stuff. Overall it was clean and comfortable. But had issues with hot water for shower and lights. Hot water was resolved the next morning. No lights in bathrooms and rechargeable lamps for it weren't working. The backyard was enclosed; however, my Jack Russell escaped over the wall by the seating area. No outside lights at the front or back doors, so just keep this in mind if you go out for an evening dining out. Also, keep in mind there is no TV and the WiFi there is very slow if you bring your own device.

Delicious barbecue and the beach walks with the dogs were a highlight! The cottage is well appointed - the kitchen could do with a few extra items, such as a new kettle, a potato peeler and new salt and pepper shakers.

Peaceful, well planned and equipped house with interesting detail and art. We had a great time. The house is close to the beach - just walk down the road. It is very neat and quiet. The beds are very comfortable and there is beautiful crockery and cutlery. We will definitely visit again!
