84 guests' feedbackHad a great time, peaceful place.
It is a cozy little apartment with electric fencing and secure parking. Everything that you would need was available, even a washing machine. The beach is just a few steps from the door. The view was spectacular; we even saw dolphins and whales. We will definitely be back.
Many thanks to Emmarentia. Unit is beautiful, well equipped, with the most beautiful view. Hear the sea from the apartment.
Photos do not do this place justice. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax, I would recommend it. The place is very clean and well taken care of.
Warm, very neat private apartment and an awesome sea view. The caretaker is also amazing.
Was great at the sea!
We had a nice stay.
Beautiful clean natural surroundings beaches. Enjoyed the long walks while fishing.
Not enough utensils. Would not come there again. Initially, the lady was very good when we went the first day. I was sick and asked to book out 1 hour later, and she refused. Being a pensioner, things like this happen.
We just would have liked to have known in advance about the extra cost per night for the trailer. Other than that, everything was very pleasant.
It was right next to the ocean and all the adventures and shops are within reach, friendly people to help and no hassles booking in and checking out. Highly recommended.
Nice sea view, neat and clean inside. Will definitely go back again.
Everything we could need was there. Even some cool recipes. Very cute place.
See stars.
The accommodation at 26 Driftsands was classy and everything needed was there and well maintained. The view of the sea was awesome.
Was very nice. We enjoyed our stay.
Had a great time and rested a lot, just a pity we couldn't go swimming in the sea because of the sewage, otherwise it was very pleasant and the owner was very helpful and friendly. Thank you very much.
What a beautiful place and Lynette was amazing, and it's so safe and neat. What an amazing stay we had. Definitely going to go back. Will definitely be recommending the place to other people.
Didn't want to come back home.
Would recommend the apartment to anyone anytime. Just feel at home when you walk in there. Bed very comfortable and we slept as if it was our own bed. Equipment in very good working order. View as in photos, see the sea and waves every day and listen to the waves breaking.
Neat, well-equipped apartment. Walking distance from beach and shops.
Good location. Easy access to N2.
Fantastic location, clean and tidy. Will go again and again!
Owners have made it very nice inside. Would have liked a pool but understand the layout doesn't allow it. We rested well.
The apartment is very well kept and a pleasure to spend a short break. A beautiful sea view! Great to be able to walk down onto the beach. Really enjoyable.
Very comfortable and well equipped.
It was so nice to walk just a few steps early in the morning and then you are on the. beach. Clean, white, sandy beach.
Room a bit small and inconvenient with sliding cupboard doors that catch when you slide them open. Lacks new sheets, but bed (mattress) quite good. Kitchen with appliances very nice and comfortable. Lounge area could possibly be upgraded to match kitchen.
Swimming beach a short walk away with life guards on duty. Beaches well maintained. Flat conveniently situated to all amenities.
The braai area is a bit far. Otherwise, no problems.
Place is modern, has everything you need. It's by the sea, central and very quiet.
Auntie Christine (owner) was very friendly and helpful from the start, as was Auntie Lynette (caretaker at the complex), we immediately felt welcome. The apartment was clean, tidy and well equipped with everything one might need. The sea view every morning was picture perfect, the fact that the complex has private access to the beach was a bonus. 26 Driftsands we will see again for sure!
Very well-equipped. A lot of additional creature comforts that make it nice. Close to beach and supermarket.
Well equipped. Well located and good security measures in place. Would recommend anytime.
Very neat and comfortable place to stay close to the beach.
Awesome place to stay in.
We had a great holiday.
We will definitely stay at 26Driftsand again. Place was very clean and tidy and everyone was very friendly.
Beautiful view, well maintained, safe destination and 1 min walk from the beach.
Exquisite furnishings. Clean. Very easy to keep clean. Clean linen. Windows are washed weekly.
Small, but neat and has everything you need. Was great.
The apartment was clean upon arrival. Well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Apartments are wonderfully clean and tidy. As mentioned above, have a good time down at the braai place and just quickly on the beach where you feel safe with the fishermen frolicking with their fishing rods.
Very nice stay - would go back anytime!
Quiet, clean, safe. Nice view. Just nice.
The caretakers and the cleaner were friendly and helpful. The kettle to boil water was not in good standard, we struggle to switch it on all the time.
It is the perfect place for a getaway to the sea.
Very good service and clean and neat.
Very nice stay. People are friendly and helpful. Security is good and lovely open beach right in front of your door.
Good ocean view. Very peaceful and comfortable apartment. Had a great time.
Friendly staff. Peaceful surroundings, with the waves in the background and a breathtaking sea view.
See stars.
The accommodation was very neat and clean. It's also very safe and well located. The caretaker was very friendly and was always available if needed.
I would definitely recommend 26 Driftsands.
We were very happy with everything.
Wow where do you start. The apartment was so beautifully clean, so neat and everything in its place. The kitchen has everything your heart could desire and a little more and if we didn't know where something was, we quickly saw in the instruction book where we could find it. The view is so beautiful, it really feels like you are on vacation when you sit and drink your morning coffee. At least the TV has full DStv which helped our little one during the rainy days. Thanks for that. The braai areas are cleaned so nicely every day, you don't have to worry about having to clean the braai just now, and the caretaker is just as helpful if you need anything. We will definitely come back and experience some more of this beautiful view and friendly people. Thank you very much, see you soon.
Would definitely recommend Driftsands 26. Everything exceeded our expectations. Nice stay and the sea and beach are very close. Service was excellent and location very close to all amenities.
Quiet, peaceful, clean and very neat apartment right on the beach! We had a lovely stay and were treated very well. They made an effort to post the things that we forgot in the apartment.
Service was great. Place was clean. Washing machine is a plus.
Friendly service, good security. The view made for a peaceful stay. Close to Doonside Mall.
Quiet. Nice rest. With the open windows it felt like the sea was in our living room. Nearby shops. Windows not cleaned. Mop broken. No floor cloths. Fans not 100% working. Maybe bigger coffee cups. Maybe less pillows on bed. But it's everyone's choice. I would turn bed with headpiece against window. My legs are bruised. If there is money one day, a wooden bridge to the beach would be nice. Maybe more braaiers and seats. We will be back for sure.
We had a great stay. The flat is close to the sea with a lovely view and safe parking. Close to the shopping centres.
My wife and I were in the unit for 10 days, not once were there disturbances from loud music or raging children. We were able to visit different attractions every day without spending uuuuhours on the road. My Nikon enjoyed it just as much from the dining room table. The beach is practically yours (although the swimming beach is within walking distance). I can recommend 26 Driftsands to anyone with an open mind, and will definitely stay there again myself. Greetings and shalom!
Relaxing place with clean beaches.
26 Driftsands exceeded all our expectations at an extremely reasonable cost.
This was the best view we have ever seen! Neat, little, cosy flat! Everything was walking distance! Cannot wait to go again!
The apartment is very nicely furnished and maintained. The owner and caretaker are very friendly and kind. Thank you very much for the wonderful stay. I would definitely stay in the apartment again if given the opportunity and would highly recommend it to anyone. The view is fantastic and the apartment block very safe.
Wow, the first thing that struck me was the breathtaking sea view! The unit is particularly neat, clean and fully equipped. The owner and caretaker are very friendly, helpful and professional. The apartment block is well managed and very tidy. It is very safe and quiet. We will definitely use 26 Driftsands again. Thank you very much for a pleasant holiday in your beautiful place!
Great service and pleasant staff.
26 Driftsands we will definitely see you again! Very nice place, overlooking the sea, quiet and peaceful. Best vacation ever!
Very neat apartment. Well equipped. Right on the beach with a beautiful sea view. Nice quiet environment. Shopping centers and attractions close by.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Driftstand. The apartment is well located, very neat, clean and of course the price is affordable! We will definitely use Driftsands again!
Quiet, very neat place with sea view. Walking distance from the beach and also close to shops and malls. Would recommend and holiday there again. Friendly and helpful people in apartment block.
Friendly, professional reception. Lovely sea view. Clean and neat. Close tot the shopping centres. Central location.
Many thanks to the people who handled our booking, everything went smoothly. Many thanks to Christine, we will definitely visit again - 26 Driftsands is a very cute and tidy apartment with a beautiful view of the sea. Big thanks also to Lynette at Driftsands who was so friendly and helpful throughout our stay, we really appreciate it. There was plenty to do during the day and everything you need such as petrol stations, shopping centres, pharmacies, restaurants etc. is just a stone's throw from 26 Driftsands. It was a very nice break, we will do it again!
The place is very neat and comfortable, with everything you could need. The view of the sea is fantastic and easy to get to the beach. Hope to visit again soon for a holiday.
I never write reviews but the place deserves a good review. We started receiving incredible service before stopping at 26 Driftsands. Christine made sure we were safe and we were helped immediately when we arrived at our destination. We were surprised at how incredibly clean, beautiful and well equipped the place was, everything you need is there. The incredible view is something that cannot be described, not to mention the easy access to the beach, which is only a few meters away. The place is close to everything you need and makes the holiday that much more convenient. We will definitely be back at 26 Driftsands and I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you Christine for an incredible honor experience. You will see us again.
We can recommend it. The apartment was clean and tidy with everything we needed there. Beautiful sea view and very quiet. We really felt at home and will definitely stay there again. Thank you.
We had a very nice stay. Everything one would need. Just one thing: maybe get a new bed for the master bedroom, otherwise great.
We found the Driftsands very comfortable. We like the Doonside area a lot, have been there a few times. The accommodation was very clean and neat, with everything you need. We were only 3 and it was perfectly equipped for our needs. We'll definitely make use of 26 Driftsands again in the future. The owner, Christine, was very helpful and safe.
Lovely, comfortable and clean flat with secure parking.
Our time here was very nice. Everything we needed was there. Very neat and clean. Very comfortable.
No problems. Everything is very good. One tiny thing that was a bit bothersome: We only received on toilet paper roll for 3 guests for 3 nights. We had to buy more ourselves.
