DIE POMPHUISIE REVIEWS (66 %) Great Location! by Glenda Loverock 14 September 2017 The location of Die Pomphuisie is excellent. It is situated right across the road from the main beach and has magnificent views! The enclosed garden is ideal for pets and children which is great.
Having said that, I feel the house could do with some updates. The utensils in the kitchen are all very old and the cutlery is a bit all over the place.
The loft upstairs is a great space, however the staircase is not suitable for children as it is very steep and takes a lot of concentration not to fall.
The bedrooms downstairs were very comfortable. The smaller of the two bedrooms has no cupboard space which could be easily rectified by the owners.
There are two bathrooms downstairs, and neither has a shower. The main bedroom has an en-suite with a large bath in it and a hand held nozzle attached, but you are not able to use it as a shower. The second bathroom also has a bath and a hand held nozzle but unfortunately this hand held nozzle was broken for the duration of our stay.
The outside 'cottage' was unfortunately a disappointment for us. The bed, bedding, and towels were of a much lower standard than in the main house. There is a shower in the en suite of the cottage which was a bonus but the water pressure was not great at all. The electricity box is situated in the cottage which unfortunately makes a constant ticking noise. And the cottage has no insulation at all, making is quite cold. There are also no security gates at the doors to the cottage, so leaving valuables in here is simply not an option.
I would suggest to the owners to put up signs in all the bathrooms reminding guests of the dire water situation in the Western Cape, and to try and keep baths as shallow as possible.
My suggestions would be to upgrade the bathrooms by having showers installed, which would be more convenient for guests, as well as being more water wise for the environment.
There is also no TV in the house at all, which for a weekend away is no problem, but for a longer stay, especially with kids, would make the stay a little better.
All in all, we had a lovely weekend in Paternoster, and loved being so close to the beach. The house is absolutely adequate but would be exceptional with a couple of updates. The view by Peet Labuschagne 23 September 2017 There was no TV in the house, the dishwasher did not work at all, there is no privacy in the rooms, you can hear everything what happens in the house everywhere, it seems that there is no ceilings. It is a mission to shower as there are no showers in main house. DIE POMPHUISIE LOCATION
