    The 2 bedroom stone bungalow needs a makeover which is being done by Sep.

    Chris was exceptional with the kids . It was the best ever vacation for them. Chris and Ella really make you feel at home.

    The road getting to place is under construction. I thought that the pricing for the adult diners was a bit high.

    Staff service was excellent and the location is stunning. Lots to do there.

    The road into the hotel was rough and full of pot holed - very hard going to drive - obviously not the fault of the hotel, but useful for guests to know.

    Beautiful location with a gorgeous view from the cabin. Delicious food.

    While not a game changer, it would be nice to have some private outdoor space at the Boathouses, or some seating outside. We cooked dinner there on the second night, but as there was no braai, we had to make another plan. As well, the door between the main bedroom and kitchen was in an awkward position and kept sticking.

    Coot Club is a wonderful addition to the south coast of South Africa. The boathouses are divine - beautifully furnished with extraordinary views. The Spookhuis is a gem - and those milkwoods around the dining area are priceless. The pizzas on Friday nights are perfect and the light lunch was just what we wanted after a long walk to the sea and a kayak. Ben and Michele were both very warm and welcoming and helped pack cooler boxes and organize dinner last minute on the first night.

    A lot of flies during meal prep in the home (not at the Clubhouse)

    The dining setting is magical under the trees or inside the sensational Club House. Loved the staff who had empathy, wit, humour, made us feel at home and anticipated our needs well.

    Only thing I can think of is that the dinner was a bit late (18:30) for little kids. It’s be perfect if dinner was possible from 17:00 onwards.

    We loved everything. The boathouses are amazing. Location is gorgeous, everything is so modern and stylish. The food was incredible. It’s perfect for younger kids but as adults you’ll have just as much fun.

    I wish that the cottage we stayed in had better views from the cottage. There are so many trees around that cottage that you really have almost no view .

    This property is very special as it is a real get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. But with all the comforts of a well equipped cottage with good wifi and netflix. The cottage was very spacious. There are lovely spots to sit and enjoy the views of the mountain and lagoon. We liked the meal packs which really mean that you could come and stay here with minimal planning as the meal packs contain everything you need for a delicious meal. The reastaurant on site is also very good.

    The quietness of the place gets to us every time. We were here in May and came back for that exact reason. The fact that it has all the creature comforts you need and then some is a bonus. Love having breakfast delivered to the door, especially after a long hike or paddle.
