    No water on Monday. No Wifi that was promices. Smart TV wasnt working and the DSTV wasnt connected. The lady helper promised to come but never did. We were told the owner is comming but never piched. The lady at the front knew nothing so she couldnt help us with anything that we needed. We even had to call for toilet papers. It like nothing was well prepeared for our stay. And a wet smelly towel on the cubbord.

    The location was perfect for my outing. The place was safe.

    I think the host (Lonwabo) must be on site since he can't share some info with de lady onsite, i had to call de host to get wifi password and instructions abt using the TV, the lady knows nothing The bathroom is smelly & there was no bath soap Bad service from the entire building by not having backup for load shedding times😕 atleast there must be lights and water during load shedding

    The unit was not clean. Quite a bit of dust everywhere and the and the unit had a stuffy odor. I had to do a bit of cleaning myself. The bathroom mirror had quite a bit of stains and there were no bath mats. The sleeper couch was broken and unstable in that one could not open the couch nor sit on it. The bed headboard had quite a bit of dust that I had to move the bed to clean the headboard. Kettle filter was broken.

    Not much I can say about the resort itself as it was a one night stay. Good floor layout of the unit.

    The WiFi network was not available, When we checked in the towels were not in the room. At the Restaurant they didn’t have chicken and 60% of the meals had chicken so we had to go and eat somewhere else. So out of 10 I give them 3/10

    It’s a beautiful place

    I stayed in unit F05, which is privately owned and advertised on booking.com. The room had a putrid odour that seemed to be coming through the walls. Everything in this unit was disgustingly filthy. The bedding had visible stains and marks that made it hard to decipher if they were even washed. The toilet and bathroom looked like a scene from a horror movie, with zero ventilation, making every bath feel like torture. The aircon had dust flying out. There was a t.v with streaming services, however there is no wifi. There was a soundbar with no batteries in the remote. There were headlamps on the nightstand with no working globes. This was by far the worst stay possible and no matter what is wrong with the place you can't get assistance from staff there as they tell you there's nothing they can do since it's a privately owned unit. The owner needs to visit to see all of the horror that is within those walls. My husband and I spent all of our time out and only went back there to sleep, which was still too much to bear. I DO NOT RECOMMEND UNIT F05 TO ANYONE! YOU DON'T GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH.

    No proper kitchen utensils and cutlery, all odds and ends really bad. Not even cereal bowls, just one and another green medium size plastic bowl. It's ridiculous. Please shape up, poor upkeep without the tv not working due to no wifi?? One bedside cupboard draw without the bottom? Very poorly equipped.

    The grater was so badly rusted couldn't use, no toaster? wifi but not working? no sim and couldn't watch tv because of that. Cleaner couldn't get sim card as requested because she is not a S A citizen wouldn't allow her so no tv during the week stay. No arrangements on where to leave the key on our departure at 5 o clock this morning. Handed the key to Herman from Ocean View at reception as he was the only person there, apparently the key went missing. Don't know who he gave the key to. Asked the cleaner to find out. I was falesly accused of breaking the tv stand received an email from you that I have to pay R1500??? then told by the owner it was miscommunication and misunderstanding so not very happy at all.

    The unit was not properly clean. Cockroaches in the place. Not sufficient kitchen utensils. No wifi as advertised, TV didn't play at all and owner was reluctant to contact me even after the receptionist contacted him. I was disgusted. Fortunately the people around and great places around made up for bad accommodation.

    Location was great. Didn't have breakfast. Found key in unit after nobody at reception knew where it was.

    The owner or caretaker does not care at all. This is what I wrote to him. Good morning. This is Justin here. Booked in your private hotel. I am not sure how things work with you. I have been trying to get hold of you and you never answered the phone since last night your room has issues, and I believe you know that, that's why you're not answering the phone cause you don't won't to address them. This is not good for your reviews. Thanks

    It was abit of a challenge getting to work the TV. So many remotes Bath was clean but stained blue near the plug? During load shedding it would be nice to have had those convertor light bulbs or at least a lamp that runs on batteries

    Near wild coast sun and shops in port edward. And felt safe even though I was a solo traveler. Clean
