    There is n't anything I didn't like about the apartment , I mean we had sea view , which I appreciated every morning when I wake up. I truly appreciated all the amenities.

    We received a warm welcome from Sis Ncamisile , she was very kind and friendly. Great location, really pleasant and clean apartment. Easy access to the beach , close to the Kingsburg shopping centre and 10 minutes drive to the Galleria Mall. Our kids were very excited about the apartment as it felt homely with their favorite channels on DSTV , Netflix and unlimited WIFI. Thank you Sis Gabi and Sis Ncamisile for making our visit amazing!!

    Amazing Luxury Accomadation

    Theres no major supermarket in Illovo, so you must drive out to stock up. The residents of Le Mer ( The Complex) are not friendly, and you could immediately see and feel who is residents and who is there on holiday for a few days...

    Apartment was fully equiped and the milk eggs, fruit, spices and nibbles adds a very nice personal touch and covers the basics. Access to the private beach is great. Daily cleaning staff is amazing. The furniture and appliances in the unit is really of good quality and gives it the Luxury Accomadation feel which we really appreciated...value for money

    It had a musty smell. There were additional charges like breakage deposit and cleaning fee to the price stated when booking

    The apartment is nicely decorated, clean and spacious. They added thoughtful touches like gowns, condiments, tea.

    Not much to complain about. The service was not in the original price and was a bit excessive for the length of the stay.

    Really clean, well decorated and furnished. Easy access to the beach. Gabi, the manager was great. Really good place for a beach stay

    Surrounding areas and beaches aren't well maintained. If you want to go to another beach or tidal pool other than Illovo, you have to travel far.

    Unit is well equipment, with all you need and more. Beautiful sea view.
