    Keep in mind that the weather was terrible which make the following worse; 1. The driveway was only grass which make it quite difficult as it was slippery when it is raining 2. The driveway gate

    . We rent it specific because it was pet friendly and there was enough space being fenced off where our dog could walk.

    One can't find fault in this place.

    The host welcomed us with a warm homemade bread and jam, such a friendly person. Explained everything in the flat and even to how things worked. Such a lovely neat and tidy place will definitely recommend this place and close to everything in Dana Bay. One can see the owner has a passion for his work and place. Well done. We were kept up to date every day wrt the Load shedding, weather etc.

    To make it perfect : A small fence to separate cottage from front garden and gate would be helpful and more relaxing for guests with lively dogs and quite easily achieved as it is half fenced already. The design and materials used in the cottage are creative and quite quirky, thought out by obviously creative people. I would prefer a bathroom door though and the shower floor I found a little rough on the feet although bathroom otherwise comfortable and extremely clean.

    Daan and Elize were helpful and attentive before and during our stay - very hospitable hosts. It can be stressful travelling with dogs and they made us feel that ours were welcome despite them running all over the place. The cottage is part of their homely property in the stunning suburb of Dana Bay. Everything one needs in a cottage has been thought of. There is some backup for load shedding (gas ring stove and some lighting). Very comfortable bed and the sound of the sea made for a great sleep. Tea, coffee, rusks, toiletries and other thoughtful touches were provided.

    Most dogs guard their enclosure out of instinct. With being in a new environment the animal's senses are heightened and they will react to sound and movement to guard their new surroundings. Even though the aesthetics of the back gate was very pleasing I don't feel the paneling is sturdy enough to withstand an altercation happening at the gate.

    Breakfast was not part of the arrangement, but we were surprised with a fresh homemade loaf of bread. The accommodation had everything you need to settle in, even milk in the fridge. The Wi-Fi signal was good and enabled us to connect to our Netflix account for entertainment. The hosts were friendly and kind and very accommodating. The garden was lovely and green and there was more than enough space for the dogs to stretch their legs and play,
