77 guests' feedbackIt was very nice, the place has everything one might need, of course the view on the sea was out of the books, will definitely come and stay there again, very cute!
Great place, so much extra! Incredible sea view. The owner makes so much effort to make the stay as pleasant as possible. The cottage is highly recommended!
Good view - with windows and doors that keep the wind and weather out. Everything you need to enjoy the place. Need to climb stairs. (Just to know - not criticism).
Lovely stay, close to the beach for the kids and the inside braai was amazing on the colder nights.
Yes, thank you very much, will definitely come again.
Lovely seafront home didn't lack anything.
Wow! What a nice place to stay! Everything you need is there. Spacious, very tidy, comfortable and an incredible view of the sea. Rest for your soul. We would love to stay here again.
Deliciously relaxing.
Beautiful house with excellent view. Love the bath and the indoor braai. Perfect place to switch off and spend time with friends and family. Thanks to the hospitality. We felt very much at home. Would highly recommend the place to friends/family and would book again. Would also like to book the cottage just for me and my partner.
Firstly just as they said, it was a 180-degree ocean experience, the most amazing sea view. The house was clean and had everything in it. The fireplace in the house made it cozier. We had the most fabulous weekend there, and the weather was just perfect. I would certainly go again and will recommend the place to family and friends.
Incredibly well equipped cottage. The location, the safety, the owner's giant gift box and the tastiest, freshly baked bread in the Western Cape. What more do you want? Truly a two week holiday where we could rest, watch the sea in all its "moods", walk and just relax. It was definitely a 5-star stay!
Place is great. Stairs up to unit are a bit steep for older people.
Wonderful and very beautiful place.
The cottage is well equipped with everything you will need. Upon arrival we received a package from the hostess. Very nice place - best view.
Loved every second of our stay! Very accommodating owner and everything we needed was available. The location is absolutely stunning. Spacious home and cottage, both well equipped. Stayed with my family and had a proper recharge. Thank you, Rona.
Very nice stay, nice view of the sea.
This is a fantastic place to stay. Breathtaking view, comfortable, very well equipped with everything you need for short or long stay. Rona goes out of her way to make her guests feel welcome and the welcome pack was a pleasant surprise along with the nice bottle of Paarl white wine. The area is very quiet, walking distance from the beach, shops and restaurants. We never felt unsafe either. You hear the sea and you never have to leave the porch if you just want to be peaceful.
The accommodation was very comfortable. We did notice that there was some mould in the bathroom and that some of the kitchen utensils need to be replaced, but overall it was great.
Best vacation spot we've ever stayed at. Very nice view and very neat. Everything one needs. Thank you very much for our goody bag, we really appreciated it.
This is my second stay here and I love the house and the location. I would highly recommend it. Thank you, Rona, for sharing your lovely home with us.
Didn’t want to leave!
Good points: beautiful view and unit is well equipped. Less good points: there are steep steps which will be a lot for some travelers or older guests. There are no linen and towels (you can order at an extra cost), which means that other places in the area with equally beautiful views are better value for money.
Cottage ideal for 2 guests to just relax and visit with a beautiful view of the sea.
Oh, we had a great stay and will definitely do it again.
We had such a nice stay, the house is stunning and cozy. We will definitely go again.
Had an amazing, peaceful seaside weekend, exactly what I needed. Will definitely go to 180 Degrees Ocean Experience again and then just for a full week instead of a weekend. The location couldn't be better. We stayed in the smaller cabin and it is suitable for a small family with young children (maximum 2 adults and 2 small children).
We had a home-from-home experience. The host was very responsive to any queries we had. An unexpected lovely gift basket. Amenities in Gansbaai easily accessible.
Rona made us feel so welcome with the personal touches — a welcome basket and on Saturday morning she brought us still-warm rolls! The apartment comes with a breathtaking view of the ocean and had everything we needed to make our trip memorable. Did I mention the view? It will make you forget that you have to return to a 'normal life'. Perfect getaway for you and that special someone.
Breathtaking view and safe environment. Hostess was friendly and very helpful. I give Rona a top 100%. Thank you very much for the gift package and warm croissants on a rainy day. The perfect getaway for a family or friends.
The location is perfect and the customer service is top notch. Wake up with waves in your ears and go to sleep with a view of the sea next to a fireplace and a glass of red wine. It was just perfect. Everything you need and more was there. Thank you very much for a special visit.
I will definitely stay there again.
Thank you Rona, you are the ideal hostess and your place is fantastic! Will definitely come again.
For a group of people visiting together, this is the perfect house. Although there is a separate toilet, I have to say that another bathroom would have been very useful. One bathroom for all the people is a bit neat. This house was well suited for making fantastic memories.
Beautiful place, tidy with nothing more needed. Feel at home with an incredible view of the sea.
Would highly recommend the place. Good value for money.
Comfortable bed and divine shower with the cutest little deck to watch the waves.
They spoil you a lot and make you feel very much at home.
The house is neat and clean. Everything one needs is already there. Two rooms have a view of the sea.
We had a wedding at Murasie and opted to stay in Franskraal at180 Degrees Ocean Experience. What a fabulous experience it was. We were 6 adults and a toddler. We received a fun gift pack to welcome us. 180 Degrees Ocean Experience is exactly what the name says. 180 degrees ocean view, a stone throw away. We had rainy weather and could braai (barbecue) indoors, play board games and enjoy the stay. We would love return for a sunny stay. Thank you for sharing the beauty of 180 degrees with us.
The only criticism: I want to stay there forever. Beautifully laid out, everything there you could need, excellent communication with owner. What a privilege. Would definitely stay there again, but longer next time. Thank you very much.
Had a fantastic stay at this relaxed holiday home, directly across the road from the rocky shore. Indoor braai makes it perfect even in rainy weather. Please note if you have mobility issues or very small children, there are stairs from the parking bay to the house. Highly recommended!
We had a great time. Everything needed was there. Indoor barbecue is a lovely bonus especially in winter. The inverter is very comfortable. View is breathtaking. Feeling like at home and then another bag full of gifts too.
It was a getaway for me and my two children with their families for my daughter's birthday celebration. It was comfortable and very well equipped with a beautiful sea view to soothe the soul. Will definitely go again.
My husband and I and our Jack Russell had a great time! Rona spoiled us with a lovely welcome pack and made sure everything was comfortable and clean. We highly recommend the unit.
We stayed in the flatlet which is perfect for a couple or a couple with a child. The view is gorgeous and we enjoyed just sitting with a glass of wine on the little deck and watching the fishing boats out at sea. We kept ourselves busy with long walks on the beach and along the footpath towards Kleinbaai. A visit to the Whale Coast Brewery in Pearly Beach was a nice surprise.
I had a really nice stay and the view is fantastic. The security is good and I slept very peacefully.
Nice stay. Very nice view from apartment and saw many whales. The cutlery was not clean and the owner was informed that she would have to deal with cleaning service. Furthermore, no complaints and inverter is a plus. You don't even notice there is load shedding.
The friendliest owner. Place is very neat. No complaints. Had a great time there.
Will recommend others to stay there.
The accommodation had everything we needed. The check in process was easy and Rona still followed up to make sure we arrived safely. She left a bag of goodies for us that was a lovely surprise. Views are awesome.
We had a great time. The view was stunning. The owner was very friendly and she gave all the necessary information right away.
We loved our stay as a family at 180 Degrees. The location is excellent, and the house is well equipped and has all the comforts you need. We appreciated the little extras provided by the hosts.
Private and secure. 180 degree sea view. Everything was fine on arrival. Our baby woof also really enjoyed it. Thank you also for the gift pack.
The view is stunning, and the cottage very cosy. I will definitely go back!
Professional communication with personal touch, great view and great stay. Highly recommend.
The perfect house, I'm going again.
Will definitely visit again.
Will definitely visit again.
Beautifully over. Visit again soon.
All you need for a vacation with great accommodation.
We had a great stay here! The view is just the best and you can sit on the porch for hours and enjoy it. The security is very good. The house is spacious and fully equipped. We will definitely want to go again!
Beautiful sea. Franskraal is really particularly beautiful.
We had the most fantastic weekend. Everything was just as we imagined it. Breathtaking view of the sea and very comfortable and beautiful. The house was by the sea and very tidy. Everything was perfect and delicious. We will definitely come again. Wow, wow, wow,
The unit was comfortable and clean, I really enjoyed my time looking out from the balcony at the ocean that is literally across the road. My host Rona was helpful and friendly. I'm looking forward to visiting again.
The place is excellent for us as a family of 3, big enough, well equipped, enough hanging places and wall plugs, walking distance from the sea and very safe. Will always be my first choice. And our little dog also enjoyed a fantastic view.
Perfect place to break away for a weekend or longer.
The cottage was perfect we had lovely relaxing weekend. I would recommend to my friends and family. Rona is an excellent host.
Had to wash plates and pan before we could prepare and eat food.
I will definitely recommend this place to friends/family looking for a cosy, affordable cottage with an amazing ocean view.
Warm welcome and surprise pack.
The holiday at 180 Degrees Ocean Experience lived up to all expectations. The gift waiting on the table upon arrival was a pleasant surprise. Everything was very neat and clean. What stood out was the following: All DStv's Premium channels were available on a really big TV. All the rooms had decent lights - not the paltry 10W lights found in some destinations. The furniture is in good condition and meets all needs. The location is unbeatable - right on the beach. The alarm system works 100% and the general safety of the house inspires confidence. We would definitely like to stay there again when we visit Franskraal. Suggestions: These are not criticisms, just suggestions for what it might be worth, to make 180 Degrees Ocean Experience one of the best destinations in Franskraal. The stairs to access the house can be a real challenge. My 90-year-old mother was with us and when it rained, it was almost impossible for her to get from the house to the vehicle. The stairs are slippery and the railings provide no support. The parking facilities are not quite up to standard. I suspected I should use the upper parking - closest to the house - but it was not possible for me to get my vehicle up there. If possible, could provision be made for high speed internet connection? In today's world it has become almost a necessity especially if one is working in the IT world.
The host was friendly and we even received a lovely gift and souvenirs to take home. What made it a really peaceful weekend was the fact that the place was not too far from the shops so you could experience peace and quietness, but if you needed to get something it was not far away.
Wonderful, really enjoyed it and will definitely stay there again.
Location, location, beautiful views, on the sea, all amenities in cottage.
Host went above and beyond to make our stay memorable.
Watch as you wake up with the sea at your feet. You don't need anything more.
Good location with a beautiful view of the sea!
