Stay, sleep and be merry!

Tranquil and slow-paced (befitting, since the delightful tortoises abound!) apartment towards the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, with a beautiful view across False Bay to Table Mountain in the distance. It was a pleasure to make Karin’s acquaintance - very helpful, responsive and professional.

Beautiful beachfront apartment

We loved our stay here. Here are some pluses: — The views from the balconies were amazing. — The apartment had plenty of space for everyone to spread out. — There plenty of places to lounge. — The kitchen has everything you need. — The walk-in shower was great for those who don’t like to hop over the bathtub. — It is easy and cheap to get Ubers to nearby restaurants and shopping. We never tried to take on to Cape Town. (It is easier to get Ubers if you pay cash). Here are some negatives: — We could never get the hot tub hot enough to enjoy on cool windy evenings. Although the property manager tried to fix the temperature. — There was no mention in the description of the tight spiral staircases that connected all the floors. (This made carrying loaded suitcases to your bedroom a challenge.) — On windy nights, the rattle of the skylights and other stuff on the roof, made it hard to sleep. Overall, we would stay here again. The location was fabulous.

Perfect location with beautiful views

We spent a week at Die Braaihaus after a 4 day safari and 10 day bike tour of SA. A great place to recover and and unwind. Located near great eateries and reasonable driving distance to surrounding beaches and Cape Town. The only draw back was the air con. The listing says they have it and being from California we presumed it meant throughout the house. Unfortunately there is only 1 unit in the main living area and it just can’t keep up with the heat of summer especially at night when you’re sleeping. We also had incredible wind while we were there which ruled out leaving the windows open. And, this may be a non issue when it’s not summer.

Absolutely Stunning View

Swen has done an amazing job in ensuring the guest is welcomed and that all concerns are addressed. This includes planning for power outages and even a lack of water. With AC, wifi, an ocean view, and access to the beach, there is not much else needed. Parking is well in hand. A very comfortable stay that ended too soon. You can make friends with anyone on Gordon's Bay it seems.

Excellent break while still able to work remotely!

We had a magical stay at this property. The staff and owner went above and beyond to accommodate and provide an environment for remote working. Our suite came equipped with an inverter to maintain Wi-Fi and power supply to external monitors and laptops during load shedding times. Able to continue to work uninterrupted, gave us time to enjoy the property more and the area better, knowing that the load shedding schedule would not hinder or interfere with getting assignments out on time. We will without a doubt recommend this property to any, and to anyone that needs to continue to work while traveling. Would love to have stayed longer, and without a doubt will return when visiting Gordon’s Bay in the future.

Messed up big time!

We were given fewer than 24 hours notice to accept an alternative location because of continued construction at The View on Bikini Beach. We were very disappointed because we had spent lots of time carefully choosing this location months ahead of time. Less than a day's notice to change was extremely unprofessional and annoying. The local rental agency did find us an acceptable place at Die Braaihuis, which was an acceptable alternative.

Electric

The house and view was amazing. The pool did look way bigger on pictures. And also we didn’t know about the power going out so the fist time was a shock. Taking a shower and all a sudden no lights for two hours. That should be on the notes for people to know. And that there’s a back up power battery for lights. Other than that we all enjoyed our stay there.
