We loved everything, Shelley was super nice, although they stayed at the place we never saw her or husband. The cottage was peaceful, we woke up to birds in the morning. Everything was clean she went out of her way to make our stay perfect. The pool was also nice! We will definitely go again.

Loved how private and elegant the place is. Everything you might possibly need is provided like kitchen appliances, room mist and even bodywash and shampoo. We will certainly come and stay at Malachite Cottage in the near future.

Nothing comes to mind.

The location was perfect - we could easily go down to the beach for a morning swim and get a nearby coffee before work. Shelley was really helpful and let me work at the desk in another empty unit during the day. This was so appreciated. Overall, it is a conveniently situated, cosy little cottage that had everything we needed.

It wasn't there problem we had 4hrs of loadshedding but they can invest in a mini UPS and a mini gas burner just for these times. It's crap having to sit without wifi or even having to wait to boil some water for a cup of coffee 🙄 The geyser also goes off a certain time so no hot water for a shower 😒😏maybe change the shower timer to accommodate for loadshedding afterall we do get a loadshedding schedule. The seating in the lounge is not really comfortable when wanting to cuddle and watch a movie, so we ended up watching Netflix on our phones in the bedroom. Only dstv on the premises which most people are use to... No Netflix or showmax... Maybe another thing to consider 👍👍We didn't even bother to use the pool as it had bugs and insects in.. The water was OK but we did not swim coz of spiders and other things floating in the pool.

The location was in a really peaceful and quiet place. The cottage was OK for a weekend getaway. We loved the garden area...very tranquil but we hardly used it because of snakes and baboons... Which thank goodness we did not encounter during our stay. Kommetjie is known for snakes and baboons but you just have to be awake and alert.

Not being able to stay longer.....Thank you Shelley and Geoff

FANTASTIC......Geoff was there to welcome me and gave me a detailed account of all the facilities. Great knowledge of the surrounding areas. Pool a huge plus for a dip in the afternoon. Walks on Longbeach or on the hills surrounding the property are perfect. Shelley and Geoff asked me to join them on a walk which was great as they took the time to fill me in on the places we visited along the way. There are a few local restaurants and takeaways in walking distance also a deli, grocery store and convenience store at the Shell garage 5-10minutes walk from the cottage. If you are reading this review just book it.

Everything was perfect 👌

The apartment was perfectly equipped and decorated. Very spacious and certainly very quiet. I would highlight the private pool and the kindness of the hosts, who were certainly super gentle and attentive. I would definitely recommend this accommodation.
