86 guests' feedbackWe just slept over. Was nice.
A very comfortable home base to explore from, with lovely views when at home base.
Worth every cent. Close to everything. Most beautiful view ever. There was everything one could need and more. The children have the extra sitting area above their beds with their own breathtaking view. Indoor braai is great and the full DStv package was perfect.
Excellently equipped self-catering unit, neat and comfortable.
Great, just difficult to use with loadshedding around the house, especially if you have elderly people or children with you and taking luggage on and off. A little more time should be allowed (if there is loadshedding) for departure time.
We had a nice stay. The apartment is spacious and we had a great time relaxing. The stoep with the beautiful view is a winner. Only thing that needs attention is the barbecue grills that need to be replaced.
We enjoyed our stay there very much.
The unit is very well equipped. Unfortunately, the dishwasher was out of order, and the fridge shelf was cracked and broken. We also couldn't find a hair dryer in the unit. There is also an inverter and music center in the unit.
Spacious unit. Our 5 persons were never in each other's 'path'. Very nice to barbecue inside and hang out on the enclosed balcony with the most beautiful sunsets. High quality furniture and equipment and every possible thing that might be needed is there. Silver clean and well maintained.
Inverter, gas, Wi-Fi and convenience was a great treat.
We want to thank Pieter for his friendly service and kindness. We felt spoiled since the moment we arrived. All the small details were appreciated. The place was neat and cosy, the beds were comfortable and the indoor braai provided a special ambiance. The views were spectacular, we could not get enough. We often visit Velddrif region, but I can say that we were once again blown away by the natural beauty. Harbour Lights are centrally located and we felt safe at all times. It is also in walking distance to the restaurants and river port. We will definitely recommend Harbour Lights to our family and friends and we looking forward to visit again. A big thank you.
What could be better than visiting one of the most beautiful places on the west coast? Port Owen itself is a quiet cute place. Harbor Lights is so convenient and walking distance from the nicest restaurants with the most delicious dishes. We only stayed one night and are so sorry we didn't book longer. Pieter helps you with everything and sends you links of places nearby. Jolene his help booked us in and out easily and helped with everything. The accommodation itself is so beautiful with the most beautiful view. The children enjoy the loft and their own space. We will definitely visit there again in the future. Thank you very much for an excellent piece of jewel on our beautiful coast!
Fantastic view, clean and neat place. Well worth the stay, this was a highlight of our trip!
Everything was perfect, thank you. Will definitely use the accommodation again - only longer this time.
Loved our stay at Harbour Lights! 2nd time in Port Owen and this unit has everything you need for a perfect stay. Breathtaking views of the harbour and ships in the distance, indoor braai for the cold weather, dishwasher and excellent WiFi and loved the CD collection for a nostalgic touch. Pristine cleanliness. Super friendly people and service. Thank you Jolene and Pieter! We'll definitely be back!
Walk to Charlie's Brewery for a nice meal.
Harbor Lights is truly one of the nicest places to live that we have visited. The view is very beautiful, you are walking distance from a cafe, gin tasting, beer and pizzas and then also a nice putt-putt course! Definitely a nice place to rest!
Everything was just perfect. Thank you very much.
The views and atmosphere were amazing. Also really enjoyed the walks. Thank you very much for an incredible weekend. Will definitely do it again.
Very nice apartment, with everything you need. The indoor braai also makes it nice and sheltered when the wind blows.
I need to rest and that is what I got.
We really enjoyed the stay, but the rooms were badly laid out for 2 girlfriends and 4 children.
Neat place and inverter and extra rechargeable lights help a lot with load shedding. The plate at the bottom of the braai was completely rusted and made braai difficult to make coals.
The place was advertised with a view of the water and boats, but upon arrival we were told that we could not open the blinds because they were broken. So the beautiful view is gone. Then the bath's cold tap didn't work at all either. No cold water. The toilet in the master bathroom was leaking. The boiler's on and off button is faulty.
Beautiful view of the harbor.
We were received by the kind hostess, Jolene. The apartment was equipped with everything we needed.
Very well located. Best views and centrally located, close to everything and nice to walk and watch birds frolic in water.
There was a small problem with the dishwasher and one of the roller blinds in the braai room, however nothing serious, just small fixing ups to be done. Other than that, perfect.
So comfortable and nicely furnished. You can see the owners put a lot of effort into making it special for someone. Had the best visit, we will definitely go again.
We had a fantastic winter stay. It was cosy and loadshedding was not even noticed while we were there.
Clean and tidy, and received a friendly welcome from Jolene. Unit is equipped with everything you can think of - no need to take anything with you. Indoor braai with a view of the harbour. We will go back again for sure.
The place was really nice. Go and visit Charlies Brewhouse.
What a beautiful house. Indoor decoration lovely. Beds and bedding lovely. Nice barbecue with a nice view. Full DStv package which was good for my elderly parents.
Very comfy and restful. Good vacation.
This is the most suitable vacation spot we have ever visited. The view over the boats, the sea and the location of the house was exceptional. Comfortable, nicest beds to sleep on and the boys enjoyed it. We were able to walk around between the yachts and it was just one of the best holidays. Thank you very much.
We felt welcome.
It was incredibly fun and we really enjoyed it. Everything is in the apartment that may be needed.
We felt safe. Neat, clean place. Quiet and very relaxing. The views, tops. We had no issues, there was no need to contact anyone for anything during our stay.
We really enjoyed the holiday at Harbor Lights. Very safe and tidy. Our hostess was very friendly. Attention should only be given to the stove and the shower's hot water tap.
Accommodation was 5 star quality.
We felt so special and spoiled. The unit is large and luxurious and artistic. Everything is done to ensure that you have a lovely experience. The rooms are beautiful. Each with its own TV and bathroom. The braai patio is wonderful with the most beautiful view of the boats. The nice restaurant is within walking distance. This was really the highlight of all the places we stayed at. We compared everything to it. We would really like to do it again. We definitely recommend it.
It had a stunning view from the balcony. We enjoyed the location as well. Very peaceful. Great value for money!
Thank you very much, we had a wonderful stay! Beautiful place with everything, clean and tidy and the most beautiful view! Bonus was Charlie's restaurant which is walking distance. Went to eat there three times, most delicious food, value for money and something for everyone on the menu! Would definitely recommend Harbor Lights!
Fully equipped apartment on 3rd floor with excellent marina views. Close proximity to Charlie's Brewery and Russel's on Port.
See stars.
Was verras oor die pragtige woonstel. Die games room en pedal boats moes deel van pakket gewees het en ook 'n bootrit dit sou fantastic gewees het. Maar overall sal ons beslis weer terugkom. Het alreeds baie navrae gehad deur family and friends and gave the details so expect more inquiries for Velddrif.
The apartment is well located and safe.
The unit was very nice and well equiped.
The apartment is well situated with a great view. Well appointed and comfortable. I am 73 with bad knees and selected the unit as it is wheelchair friendly with a lift. However, the lift was not working and apparently, according to the unit's cleaners, has not been working for 2 months. So we had to struggle with our food, drinks, luggage etc. up and down 3 flights of stairs. When I complained to the owner he offered 2 midweek nights free. Doesn't suit us as our friends work. Offered 2 more nights in the unit free - still with no lift! I would not book this unit. The owner doesn't live there and doesn't know if the lift works or not.
The fact the we could pay extra for a garage (with a trolley inside the garage to use for all your stuff to the 3rd floor) was great! Unfortunately there was loadshedding during our stay and then you have to use the steps. Good exercise but very dark. Thanks for cell phones! A bit difficult with all the steps to get to the bedroom (loft) as most of us are in our 70's and at night a bit difficult.
We can absolutely recommend the apartment! It feels like your own home, just in a different place with a very nice view! Everything a guy needs is there!
The unit is fully equipped with absolutely everything we needed. The cleanliness, clean linen and towels and perfect working order of everything stood out. The kitchen is fully equipped and there were cremation factors such as biscuits and coffee put out for us which made you feel special. This unit is absolutely value for money and can be highly recommended.
We were welcomed with such friendliness. Our needs were catered for, the flat was well equipped with everything we needed. We appreciated the view and we really enjoyed our stay.
It's very neat and clean and the view just as God planned it.
I had never been to Velddrif/ Port Owen before and didn't know what to expect. The hostess, Melani, was excellent. She came to drop off the key upon our arrival. Was deliciously spoiled with coffee, biscuits and chocolate in the apartment. The apartment is very comfortable and tastefully furnished. Everything you need is there and the view was breathtaking. Will definitely want to stay longer next time.
It was one of the nicest places I've stayed in Port Owen. The person looking after the place is very helpful and friendly. Place was very neat and clean. It was a feast for me and the family to stay there. I will go back there again in the future.
Had a great time.
Thank you Pieter and especially to Melanie for the warm welcome. My family and I enjoyed our stay although it was too short. Everything else was provided which was so magnificent. I want to definitely visit again!
The place was perfect for the weekend that we were there, we want to thank the owners for giving their space to us. I will definitely recommend this place, if you need a break from the busy city life.
The place is very well furnished, and we had a very nice stay. No problem encountered, and received very good service from the owner and the agent.
Will definitely make use of this establishment again.
The accommodation was very nice. The setup was nice. The children were crazy about the views from the house. Will definitely go again.
Stunning spacious flat, beds perfect, lovely view.
One cannot overstate it. One just has to come and experience it. I am in love with the accommodation "Harbor Lights filled with luxurious yachts" and the whole environment. It is also centrally located to surrounding towns such as Laaiplek, (2km) Dwarskersbos, Elandsbaai and St. Helena bay to visit. The unique historic "Bokkom Lane" and wetlands visit called us back to give the smaller children an opportunity to fish while we could enjoy a beer and coffee on one of the jetties.
Since we arrived at Harbour Lights, Melanie gave us a warm welcome. The unit was very clean and not dusty at all. All of the windows were washed and very clean. The small details were great like the chocolates on the bed, the rusks, coffee, milk, napkins and also the fire lighters. We will definitely be back.
The flat is very well equipped. Feels very homely will visit again. The host was very friendly, she phoned the Saturday morning to find out if all was OK.
Breathtaking and peaceful area.
Very clean, well equipped and beautifull view and very nice setting of sleeping arrangements for 8 people and very good service to get in and out of apartment and very nice restaurants and small supermarket to buy from “ice to wood”, very nice walkways along the marina and will recommend it to our friends and use it again, thank you!
Thank you very much for allowing us to stay here. The place is so sufficient for a lovely visit, especially on the stoep with the beautiful view. Everything is so nice and tidy and there is everything one might need for a comfortable stay. We had a truly wonderful stay and slept wonderfully at night with the silence.
Very nice little place. Just big enough with a fantastic view and indoor braai area.
I would recommend anyone to spend their free time there. I would love to go there again if there is an opportunity.
There is nothing the host didn't think of.
Wonderful hospitality. Clean and tidy accommodation that is well equipped. Beautiful view and very peaceful. Will book again.
Very neat accommodation and we had a good time.
Very neat, beautiful view, everything one needs is there. Will definitely recommend to other people. Will definitely come again, unforgettable weekend.
Wow - dit som alles op!
Harbor Lights has a lovely barbecue area with a wonderful view of the harbour, is centrally located and was very tidy. Would recommend it for sure.
If you are looking for a peaceful getaway, Harbor Lights is the right place for you. Very nice view. House is clean, comfortable with all accessories you may need. Decor is beautiful and carefully selected.
The apartment is really nice for a weekend getaway. It has everything you need. The kitchen cabinets are very full, as well as on top, so there isn't a lot of space for your food, bur there is storage space under the stairs. I would have placed the ice machine next to the braai so that there is more space to make coffee and for the bread bin next to the basin isn't practical either. Parking can also be an issue for 2 families. The beds and linen smelled clean and fresh. The hostess is also very nice. It is a very nice place and we will stay there again.
Nice place to go to for a holiday. The only thing is that you don't have your own jetty to tie your boat up to when you're not using it. All the jetties are privately owned.
The owners really ensured that the accommodation was comfortable with more than the basic requirements provided to ensure that holidaymakers stay would be enjoyable. The view over the marina area and lagoon area in the background portrayed picture perfect from the top floor apartment. Only downside is when wind blows back door need to be opened as less as possible and parking provided for one vehicle per unit only thus no additional parking provided in complex for other vehicles of group/visitors which need to park outside gate area. R450 cleaning fee applicable.
The hostess has little things that just put the accommodation in a different class, such as the type of products in the bathrooms, all the candles, games to play. Delicious. The place is beautiful and there was more than enough entertainment for us for a nice weekend. Will definitely recommend them and visit again myself.
The place needs a thorough cleaning, for the price it should at least be decently clean, the braai also cannot be used when the wind blows - the smoke and ash blow back into the living area.
Had a fantastic view and time.
It's on the third floor, not child friendly. Hoist was broken. What about your luggage?
We had a great time at Harbor Lights. The children especially admired the view from the balcony. Harbor Light is very central as we visited a few places nearby. The reception was good and the place is very neat. Just a pity we couldn't stay longer due to other commitments.
