    The property is an older building, but once inside, it is modern with fabulous finishings. It has everything you need for a comfortable holiday. The location is right on the beach with excellent access and very good security. You are within walking distance to very good eateries Some snags, but all in all, wonderful. Our family of four adults and one child enjoyed it tremendously. We will be back.

    Nothing, to write home but a little loop was the cadac that was empty when one needed to use it to braai on a rainy afternoon.

    The location is fantastic. The rooms were spacious, and it felt like home away from home. It had everything and more. The inverter took it all, nothing is a turn-off like the load shedding whilst on vacation, but we never had an issue. We were stone throw away from the beach and the shops. Beautiful place.

    Very thoughtful with regards to what may be needed in the unit. Even buckets and spades for the kids to use on the beach. The inverter is a lifesaver, we never even knew there was loadshedding

    The property was modern and in immaculate condition. It had every appliance , cutlery etc. required for a self catering holiday. The location and direct beach access is incredible! The inverter was an absolute blessing as there was load shedding twice a day. Our host , Charlotte made us fell welcome met us on arrival. She also ensured she was available for anything should it be required. We would highly recommend !

    It cannot be faulted, everything was as hoped for.

    The most important part of the vacation was finding an almost perfect apartment for my grandmother who uses a walking stick & my aunt who's disabled, so the apartment had to be on the ground floor with exceptional views close to the sea because our last vacation to Ballito (a different location) wasn't as enjoyable because the apartment was at the far back of the compound, the stairs leading to the gate at the beachfront were a mission to navigate for my disabled aunt & on the days where she'd want to sit and eat outside she was disappointed that she could barely see the beach at all even though it was a beachfront establishment. Therefore 3 Driftwood was more than 'almost perfect' it brought everyone joy & comfort...the apartment is literally by the beachfront with nothing between you & the beach, the patio was large enough to accommodate all five family members making it perfect for our braai on Saturday evening. The inside was just as perfect, it's bright, spacious & the furniture is beautiful.

    The property felt like a home away from home for the girls. Everything was clean and a clear indication that effort was put in preparation for our arrival was evident. Unfortunately I couldn’t travel with them but I heard and saw only good things about their stay. Yolandè, the host, is truly one of a kind. Very considerate and went the extra mile for the girls and I. She prepared snacks for them for the road. Definately a 5* stay and service for a fraction of the price. We will definately be back and we would recommend this property to anyone🌺
