    Heating could be better.

    Port St Francis had a good feel,active harbour * marina with some great restaurants.Accommodation as self catering decent and a great location. End of season feel but we enjoyed our time there.

    There isn't a work station in the room - no desk/standing desk etc. That forced me to work on the couch when it was raining and i couldn't use the porch.

    This space was easy to find, easy to check into, and exactly as advertised. Super comfortable, convenient, and value for money. Great to be on the harbour. Breakfast wasn't included, but there is a small coffee shop right below that does excellent coffee and a great breakfast and wrap for lunch. The property manager was very efficient, and when WiFi didn't work, she sorted it out in minutes. The bed, linen, and shower were excellent, and the facilities were very clean. Housekeeping was perfect.

    Would be nice to have a flask to enable us to store boiling water to be able to make tea/coffee during loadshedding

    Clean, comfortable, fresh deco, very well equipped kitchenette, lovely harbor view from our patio. Clear instructions given via WhatsApp on key collection and getting into the unit. Great idea to have given is loadshedding timetable.

    The view from the apartment was amazing. It was exactly like the add, the host graig was so helpful and he was so detailed i didnt struggle with a thing, the restaurants are just around the corner There was a big hype about the food at Mauro's and also Chokka block Restaurant. The food was very good and delicious but very expensive. I then went to fishtales at the villa and in all honesty that was the highlight of my trip in regards to food, their prawns and calamari was so fresh and prepared perfectly and the staff was the best out of all the places we visited in St Francis. Also do yourself a favour and DO visit 95 on main in Humansdorp if you are a steak lover!!!

    Everything you need in the apartment and a fantastic location with a view over the port and out to sea. One double bed had the full view to die for. Sea birds and commercial fisheries action to enjoy as well as pootling private vessels. Excellent fish restaurant Chokka Block very close by. And amazing breakfast at the Rambling Rose cafe a 10 min drive away in St Francis Bay. Hosts were extremely helpful (remotely as we didn’t meet) and provided suggested walks and other tips. If you’re mobile don’t miss the walk to shark point to see the wreck, dunes and experience the ruggedness. Weather wasn’t on our side so we didn’t try the pool, but it looked smallish but great, an infinity pool again with views to the port.

    No complaints however observations. We needed more room to hang wet towels on, another mirror for getting ready and perhaps just a rug and headboards to make the spot feel cozy and complete. Other than these our stay was spectacular.

    Everything was absolutely perfect, peaceful and beautiful. Ample space and means provided to make our stay more enjoyable. The people in the building and surrounds were so friendly and helpful.
