    Both Anneke and Jan were good hosts. Breakfast was great. Thank you so much to Bessi and Charles for preparing our breakfast. For warm breakfast, it is a 3 minute drive from Tidal Retreat. Ask Anneke for advice and tips on whereabouts to go, and she will gladly and freely advice you;)

    Everything was excellent!!!

    The property is very well located within a golf estate. 5 min drive to Plett beach and town. Very good security. The closest beach is by the lagoon a 100 m from the house. The rooms were clean and beautiful overlooking the garden. Thank you to Jan for welcoming us. We will definitely stay here again, when in the area.

    The breakfast was really good, when we arrived we received a menu to mark the things we would like for breakfast the next day. There was a spread of cereal and fruit with the options of eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. The room was clean and really comfortable and the area is safe and situated close to the beach. Going into town was also easy and there was no dirt roads to be traveled.

    None of these were biggies at at all but could have improved things slightly but dont impact our 10 rating. So its not even what what we didnt like .Just some input for Anneke and Jan. There could have been a few more utensils like cutting boards, salad bowls etc. The bar fridge was a bit of challenge with the loadshedding as the small freezer defrosted all the time and soaked any food and packaging in the fridge. A slightly bigger fridge would have been good as we stayed a week

    The hosts Anneke & Jan were gracious, helpful and entertaining. Nothing was too much trouble. They looked after us like family and we were even surprised with some Bubbly and Lindt chocolates on our anniversary. Jan made sure we had electricity for a cricket match I wanted to watch. They listened and remembered even the smallest requests and their staff delivered on the excellent standard set by the hosts To say the view was spectacular and breathtaking was an understatement. It was uplifting even for us Capetonians who have plenty of spectacular views.
