    While Ungabona Self Catering offers stunning sea views and well-equipped amenities, there are significant drawbacks that detract from the overall experience. Despite advertising double beds, guests may find single beds pushed together instead, which can be inconvenient and uncomfortable. Moreover, the mattresses are in need of attention, falling short of the expected standard for the clientele. Another disappointment is the lack of proper pillows for restful sleep, with only continental pillows provided. Addressing these issues would greatly improve the comfort and satisfaction of guests staying at Ungabona Self Catering. White linen would be ideal .

    Ungabona Self Catering offers a truly remarkable seaside escape at Cove Rock. The breathtaking sea views are unparalleled, creating a serene backdrop for a relaxing stay. The accommodation is impressively equipped, boasting an abundance of utensils and no chipped bowls in sight. Each room is thoughtfully designed, with well-placed windows framing picturesque ocean vistas, ensuring every moment is filled with natural beauty. From the well-appointed kitchen to the meticulously designed bedrooms, Ungabona Self Catering exceeds expectations, providing a perfect blend of comfort and coastal charm.

    Really loved the location and how open and accommodating the space was to a group of people. The host was generous enough to late us check out late for our flight.

    The hot water would run out quicker.

    The place was lovely. We enjoyed our roof top coffees, breakfast in the balcony and had braai in the afternoon and curled up in the evening. A number of spaces to enjoy in different time of the day.

    We are a 3-generation of women with oldest being 88 yrs old and mobility-limited uses a Walker. Step-down to living room: needed a handrail to hold on to. Shower: needed handrails but a Chair was provided on Request. A heater was provided for cool night temps even in December, and extra Duvets and blankets.

Located closer to sea, with clear Seaviews from Foyer, bedrooms, living room and dining room. All day, we heard the sound of waves crashing around: peaceful and relaxing! Home is beautifully appointed with all amenities: kitchen fully-stocked with all small appliances and cooking tools: including spices and freezer bags, making meal-preparation and storage easy for 6 days. Braai stand and dishwasher available. Utility pantry stocked with cleaning supplies and paper products. Clean towels for bath and pool abundant. Eco-friendly shampoos, hand washing, detergents provided. Beds are comfy and appointed. Lap-blankets were appreciated. Lower level accessibility with 2 Bedrooms en-suite and patios.

    There was very little, thin or no curtains. The 2nd and 3rd room had lights shining brightly into the room and the curtains did little to hide this. The deck leading up to the front door was dangerously slippery when wet. There is no covered outside area to sit under or have a smoke while it was raining. The 4th bedroom is on the bottom level, bedrooms 2 & 3 was on the main level and the main bedroom is on the top level. Didn't realise that there was a third level when we booked.

    Lovely property, good view, kitchen well equipped.
