We had a really nice stay at the Atlantic Dream. The house is in an amazing location and was well equipped for our large group. Check in and out were very smooth, and communications from the property manager, Salie, were swift and helpful.

Great house in a great location

Easy self check in when we arrived after receiving clear instructions from John. The house was beautiful, spacious and clean! The only disappointing thing was we weren’t allowed to use the washing machine. We had chosen the house as it stated it had this facility but upon arrival the information booklet stated we could not. Everything else was great.

Hi Cheryl I am sorry for the conflicting information. Despite what the booklet said, you were more than welcome to use the washing machine. A simple message to me ( or our house keeper ) would have sorted this out. I will have the offending passage deleted from the info booklet immediately. Thanks for coming to stay. Regards John

6/10 Okay

Grundsätzlich ok - leider einige Unzulänglichkeiten

Wir (Reisegruppe mit 5 Personen) sind seit Jahren an verschiedenen Orten in Häusern oder Villen mit Selbstversorgung unterwegs. Dieses Jahr fiel unsere Wahl auf Kapstadt. Das Land, die Leute und die Stadt sind sehr interessant und sicherlich wieder eine Reise wert. So, die Pros und Cons sind nachfolgend aufgeführt: Pro: - großzügiges Haus mit viel Platz - ruhige Gegend inmitten von Residents - gute Ausgangslage für Kap der guten Hoffnung & Simons Town - bei Problemen mit dem Mietobjekt schnelle Erledigung durch Verwalter/ Besitzer - Verwalter hat täglich die Küche aufgeräumt und ggf. Betten gemacht, sowie den Müll versorgt. Con: - weit ab von Kapstadt, Stellenbosch usw. - Einrichtung sehr spartanisch, Küchenausstattung auch für Hobbyköche nicht ausreichend. (Wir waren erstmal im Haushaltswarenladen einkaufen...) - Pool im nicht gerade einladenden Zustand - Sicht aufs Meer durch Buschwerk verbaut - Keine Waschmaschine vorhanden trotz Beschreibung! - Poolbilliard vorhanden, aber unterschiedlich große Kugeln... - alles in allem macht das Objekt einen "vernachlässigten Eindruck", der jedoch nicht am Verwalter liegt, sondern eher am Investitionsstau. Es kann natürlich sein dass all die negativen Eindrücke "normal" sind, wir sind es jedoch so nicht gewohnt und sehen die Punkte eher als mangelhaft an. (Bilder vom Objekt erscheinen auf Google Maps.)

Dear Thomas I am so sorry you felt the house deserved only a 3 star review. With regards to the house being spartan, we would rather describe the house as being beach comfortable, a place you don't mind bringing sea sand into! With that in mind we covered all the floors in timber laminate flooring with rugs last year. In addition we refurbished the swimming pool (it might have been temporarily dirty as a a result of the winds we experienced before your arrival. It was cleaned on Monday morning), installed a brand new kitchen, repainted the entire house and recovered all the soft furnishings during 2018. With regard to the kitchen equipment we supply everything you could require of a stay. If you were short of anything, all you had to do was ask....In my correspondence with you, I explained that Cape Town was recovering from a water crisis and we are forced to make water savings. With this in mind we do not, at present, supply a washing machine. We also explained to your group that there is a laundry facility who wash, fold and iron clothes just down the road from the villa. When water restrictions are relaxed in Cape Town once again, we will reinstall the washing machine for use. The pool billiards are a set that I bought in December 2018. The only ball that is smaller then the others is the white ball which it is supposed to be. In short and contrary to your view, we invest significant capital and effort into making guest stays a wonderful beach holiday experience and great value for money. Regards John Owner

10/10 Excellent

My family loved it 👌🏾 . Really impressed with the appearance of the property, clean and welcoming.

We had a great family vacation in this house . The pictures don’t do it any justice. My kids are still talking about it days later . The house is located in the secluded part of Cape Town ...minutes away from th beach , close to restaurants. If you looking for a home away from the CBD but has everything your family needs this is definitely it. The pool was clean and definitely a bonus . The Game room perfect for all of us . The owner , John was very easy to communicate with , responds right away . Housekeeper Salie was very pleasant patient. He waited to meet us on our first day while we were running late and explained everything we needed to know about our stay .Great experience 👌🏾 I will definitely recommend this property for that large group or family members .
