Heavenly, didn't want it to end! We love the Prawn Hatchery and will go back again and again. It's peaceful and beautiful and has so much to offer. Several swimming pools and braai areas, and lots of things to do throughout the day, sea and beach, river, fishing, rowing. There's something creative everywhere and you just feel fantastic all the time. Love the place!

Hemels, wou nie hê dit moes eindig nie! Ons is mal oor die Prawn Hatchery en sal weer en weer teruggaan. Dis rustig en pragtig en bied soveel. Verskeie swembaddens en braai plekke, en 'n klomp dinge om deur die dag te doen, see en strand, rivier, visvang, roei. Orals is 'n ietsie kreatief en mens voel net die hele tyd fantasties. Versot op die plek!

Very disappointed. Not at all what I expected for what I paid for the room, not at all free standing; you are door to door with the other guests, no privacy at all, room too small, no space to unpack your suitcase, no space to unpack your food. Will not recommend for long time stay.

Hi Sindie. Thank you for your review. You'll be pleased to know that we will install extra shelf space as a result of your comments - the buildings cannot be moved though! We hope you find something that better suits you on your next holiday! Regards, The Team @ the Hatchery.

Very disappointed. Not at all what I expected for what I paid per day. No privacy at all; 4/5 sleep units are door to door with the other guests. The units themselves have no space at all, no space to unpack your suitcase, and no space to store your food. One rail big enough for 2 towels in a 4-sleep unit, and the fridge is not working. Will not recommend for long-term stay.

The most amazing hidden gem! What a nice experience! Our time there was just far too short. Will definitely want to stay there for a whole week next time.

Wat 'n lekker belewenis! Ons tyd daar was net veels te kort. Sal beslis volgende keer 'n hele week daar wil bly.

It was the perfect setting and venue for our art break. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful, wet from the rain but still sheltered. Penny's Cottage was off to the side and not part of the other guests, which was nice for us.

Dit was die perfekte omgewing en venue vir ons kunswegbreek. Stil, rustig, mooi, nat van die reën maar steeds beskut. Penny's Cottage was eenkant en nie deel van die ander gaste nie, wat vir ons lekker was.

Special place in a stunning location. We were pleasantly surprised with this one of a kind rustic setting on the beautiful river. Would love to go back especially in summer.

It was good, except for the shower with no hot water. The place is rustic but very clean, we had a great time, the only problem was no one came to clean and the water in the shower was cold no hot water at all, the sink had hot water from the gas geyser and the other bathroom had intermittent hot water but none in the second bathroom and I only ran the hot tap for about 10 minutes and still had no hot water. Only complaint.
