Perfect by

Nice comfortable get away. Pool green but that's probably because it's been winter. Otherwise, nicely set out for a group of friends or family.


Surfers Shack by

Extremely rustic.


Elands bay by

The name said it all (Shark shack) its a shack, mattress are worn, no kettle or proper kitchen ware. No microwave and brokken plastic tabel. Braai consists of bricks on the ground and toilet is not working properly. Coaches are worn and no curtains. Much beter accommodation available in the area.


ACCOMMODATION NEEDS UPGRADE by

I`m describing my experience for the hope that certain points will be rectified by the owner for future holiday makers to experience a better and more accommodating stay. On arrival we were welcomed by a hip of open rubbish giving a terrible rotten smell blowing into the premises. I asked for it to be covered properly which was then done. The kitchen counter was so dirty and sticky all over that we never ate there and used the one upstairs as a simple wipe would not clean but needed a major scrub down. A lot of lights bulbs were not working. The main bedroom door does not lock even though it has a open plan bathroom in there! The stove warmer knob is broken off so if you use the top plates and don`t switch off at wall mains it stays on which is an electrical problem. The bath i the main bedroom, after draining the water from the plug 40% leaks into the guest bathroom. The shower needs tiles and a replacement of a dirty curtain. We were welcomed to both braai areas full of previous tenants coals and ash. The drum is so broken with holes that the ash pours through the balcony onto the entrance floor of the house. No toilet rolls. One dirty dish cloth. No soap or liquid at all. No microwave. A fridge with a broken door and water leaks on the floor. The couches are dirty and needing replacement as some need to be discarded. The place is well positioned but needs a coat of paint, water leaks repaired, wooden floors need sealing. It basically needs a makeover. I was aware i was going to experience some drawback based on previous reviews but seeing that everything was booked already, I had no choice. I am going to Elands Bay in Easter 2018 but booked already at another accommodation. Hope the owner sorts it out for newcomers, Thx
