116 guests' feedbackOur accommodation unit was neat, literally 2 minutes to the Albatross beach. Jade is very friendly, made sure to inform us of anything we might need. The environment is nice and quiet and safe, and we had a great time! We will definitely be there again next year.
It was very peaceful and safe.
Very comfortable stay.
We really only needed a place to sleep and the place was spacious enough and comfortable enough to sleep over for one night. Thank you very much.
Perfect small clean spot for a surf weekend right near Albatros Beach. Everything you need and able to park in the garden behind a secure gate. The cottage is quaint and small but a good affordable option for budget travellers and ideal for us as we only stayed one night and were there to surf.
Despite the fact that the advertisement is misleading, at least we had a nice stay. The space is just a bit small, especially in the bathroom.
Had a wonderful holiday in Jeffreys Bay. Didn't realize I paid so much money to stay in a wendy in someone's garden. Place needs a lot of attention. None of the crockery matched and was not clean either. The bathroom cabinet is rotting. Really don't want to pack toiletries in it. Bed was not comfortable at all. Dive in the middle, so you roll towards each other. The garden was terribly untidy, there was a terrible pile of broken shells right under the table outside the wendy. Trash bags were also not removed. A plus is definitely the Netflix and Amazon Prime, and although you have to take your own towels, they did provide them. Thank you very much. Feel the host could have stopped by to see if everything was alright.
Unfortunately we didn't.
Horrible experience! Disgustingly dirty. Beware! We did not stay, we left after we saw the state of the room to sleep somewhere else. The host wanted to offer a bigger room. His excuse for the condition was that it's cheap! Cheap and tiny does not have to be disgusting! The bathroom had empty toilet paper rolls and smelled like urine. The "room" is a dilapidated prefab wendy house in the back of their overgrown garden.
Value for money but lacks some supervision and monitoring. Little foxes destroy the vineyard. Duvet wrong, and so on. Would also like to see an outside photo.
Only one problem is parking. Car had to pull over and it wasn't right for me.
They only gave two towels for 5 guests.
The location is fantastic as it is close to the sea but I would not stay there again or recommend it to anyone - specifically unit 3.
There is not enough parking for vehicles as well as not safe. The unit needs a good cleaning, the cupboards in the kitchen are dirty and we found old food in them. One of the bedrooms has a sky light that illuminates the entire room from early in the morning. The grass in the braai area was long and compost growing everywhere as well as the garden set there is a hole in the table and standing in the sun all day so the chairs are weak and dangerous. The shower just injected into the corner which I reported but apparently couldn't be heard so I had to let him know again when we got to the unit but decided not to because I made him aware via whatsapp and he decided not to ask us. The free WiFi doesn't work all day either, I can understand if the loadshedding is on but the same thing happened if there was power. Then the wifi doesn't work everywhere, only in the kitchen. We feel we paid too much for the quality of the apartment.
The "One bedroom flat" is a wendy house! No wonder there are no photos of the outside. The bathroom is fitted with a shower, toilet, and basin, but there are no lights. The kitchen is equipped with a fridge, oven, and stove, but there is no dishwasher and one wouldn't fit anyway. There is a TV in the lounge? Lounge?
Added benefit of Netflix was a plus.
It was a lovely place to stay. We were booked in for 5 nights, it is 100m from the sea, perfect location and tidy. We had a problem with the toilet, within 30 minutes there was someone to check toilet. Will definitely stay at Barbiers Bliss again.
Great accommodation near the beach and places to eat.
So close to the beach! Awesome place!
Safe and convenient close to walking distance from the sea. Great holiday.
Value for money, close to als.
Advertised with Wi-Fi but only have signal in one room, rest of the unit no signal. We were provided with only one garbage bag for a weeks stay, our full bags were placed by ourselves on the pavement for removal.
Inner grill broken and dirty. Fridge dirty. Mats dirty. Outdoor grill dirty. WiFi doesn't really pick up, only spot spot 1 dash. The sofas in the photo are outside in the rain. Most blinds in the house are broken. Half a roll of toilet paper for a 4-day stay. Microwave just so dirty. The house in general just doesn't feel fresh.
Goeie diens, amazing plekkie, sal enige tyd weer soontoe gaan. Eienaar het ons dadelik gehelp met enige vrae wat ons gehad het. Sal dit beslis vir enige iemand aanbeveel. Lekker rustige en veilige area, stapafstand vanaf die strand en nie ver van die dorp af nie. Regtig net amazing.
The house has everything we needed. Communication was quick and easy. We would love to visit again!
Beautiful town with friendly people. Our host did not intrude on our privacy and we really appreciated that.
Was pleasantly surprised with the spacious apartment. The full DSTV package, lock up garage as well as an indoor and outdoor barbecue was an absolute bonus. Safe neighborhood and close to the beach. The bed and bedding were of good quality. The bathroom, especially the shower, needs some attention. Furthermore, everything was tip-top and well equipped.
Would be good if a cleaner comes in for some cleaning, especially bathroom, kitchen floors etc.
Hot water from the geyser was intermittent while showering. We were not offered fresh towels during our 7 day stay. No washing line and no light at the outside braai area.
Friendly and helpful host.
Comfortable. Friendly host.
Walking distance from beach. Apartment was comfortable.
Need a light by braai and outside faucet.
I would recommend people to rent this house.
Best accommodation at a very good price.
Apartment very well located. Neat and safe. Definitely recommended for any vacationer.
Walking distance from the beach.
Peaceful.
Very nice stay. Clean, tidy, comfortable and meets everything one needs.
Trish is very helpful.
On boarding we were very surprised with the space and the comfortable large kitchen and living room. Not to mention the nice big private braai area. It was definitely a nice rest holiday. Centrally located and close to all shopping and beach. We will definitely come again.
Communication was tops, best place, would recommend it to anyone.
Everything was exactly as we wanted it with enough privacy and located close to the beach. Everything we needed was there at our disposal and the DStv and garage were a big plus for us. We were kindly welcomed and immediately made to feel at home upon arrival. Will definitely visit again and recommend to anyone. Very good value for money.
Anytime, it's my second time there and it's fantastic.
Well equipped and tidy apartment. The built-in braai needs to be repaired.
Clean and tidy, safe.
Wonderful, very neat and clean.
Everything you need and very tidy. Short walk down the street to the beach. Is on the corner of a busy street. Driver is very friendly.
We really enjoyed it, spacious rooms, comfortable kitchen.
Will go again.
Our stay was awesome! Lovely accommodation.
See the stars.
Excellent location. Value for money. Everything you need. Definitely my choice of place to stay in the future.
We were pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness, location and safety. It is so close to walk to the sea and in the evening you can clearly hear the waves. We will definitely go back there and would recommend the place with confidence. Would not have minded staying there another week longer at all.
We will definitely come back to Babiers Bliss again. My family thoroughly enjoyed them. The accommodation itself was beautiful and very tidy with friendly people. Hope to see you again in a year.
Great place, friendly people and around the corner from the sea.
Warm welcome to an amazing apartment with everything you need. Safe for my toddler with walking distance to the beach and an awesome playground.
The apartment is well equipped with everything needed. The apartment was very clean when we arrived. We will definitely stay there again.
Can only book, is spacious and garage included.
Hope to be back soon!
Neat apartment. Well-equipped kitchen. Ocean just around the corner.
Awesome accommodation and good value for money. Everything you can ask for in self-catering accommodation.
My stay was pleasant. It is a spacious neat well located residential unit with all the necessary facilities. I will definitely make Barbiers Bliss my choice for accommodation next time.
Definitely value for money. Very friendly reception by hostess who showed and explained everything in the upper apartment. All the basic necessities are there. Short walk to the beach and not far from shops and eateries. The braai on the balcony is a plus although we didn't use it. The lock up garage is a further advantage. However, the shower door's space into the shower is very narrow and inconvenient for larger persons. Can recommend the place with confidence. Will stay there again if we go in that direction.
Spacious, but old. Acceptable.
Apartment has all the basics needed.
Only problem was the hot water cylinder which took too long to heat up. Had to take a cold shower.
We had a very nice time. Clean and neat. We will definitely go again and bring the children along next time.
The nicest people! Went out of their way to make it comfortable and great for us! Can't wait to go there again next year.
We thoroughly enjoyed the few days at Barbiers Bliss. Trish is an excellent hostess. Each of the apartments has its own private entrance and guests do not really come into contact with each other. We had the top flat and it was fully equipped for self catering with its own private braai. We will definitely use Barbiers Bliss again and recommend it to other people.
My husband and I were in Jeffreys Bay for a course. We were only looking for a place to sleep with facilities to make breakfast. It was convenient for us, we felt safe. The fact that our car was parked in a locked garage at night was very reassuring. Trish received us kindly.
We were very kindly expected. The house is very neat and clean. It is close to shops as well as around the corner from the beach. We had a very nice stay. Many thanks to Trish for your kind service.
Comfortable and clean. We checked in late and it wasn't a problem for Trish.
Was nice and peaceful.
We rented the house which is located on the ground floor, with a large covered patio and covered barbecue. Very large kitchen with gas oven and hob. Place was spotless, 2 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms and sun room. Even the WiFi reception was very good. No complaints, everything needed especially for the kitchen and bathroom was there. Friendly welcome from the hostess.
Toe ons arriveer, was ons warm verwelkom, alles was vir ons verduidelik toe ons binnekom, dit was lekkerder as wat ons verwag het. Barbiers Bliss sal ons weer sien.
Wonderful accommodation and unforgettable!
Will definitely be back loved the fireplace.
Trish is very welcoming and we will definitely recommend it to others!
We enjoyed our stay very much and Trish made us feel so welcome. We had everything we needed and the best of it all was the short walk to the beach. We will definitely stay there again. It's great for a weekend getaway.
See grading.
The place was nice, clean and close to the sea. The house is safe and easy to find and we enjoyed it. Everything you need is there and the owner was there to welcome us. She also called to ask if we were still okay. There is also information she has put together to find everything you need in Jeffreys Bay and nearby places. Incredibly beautiful and wonderful.
We had a very nice weekend at Barbiers Bliss. I will recommend this accommodation to anyone, even if it is just for a getaway!
If we could rate this place a 10 we would. The house smelt so clean and fresh. Everything about the place was out of this world. Barbiers Bliss made our stay. Can't wait for our next visit. Friendly service.
Very nice stay and everything you need is supplied.
Everything is tidy, close to the beach, safe and quiet.
Would really recommend Barbiers Bliss for a holiday or overnight stay in Jeffreys Bay. The place's location is excellent, the place is very tidy, and everything you need is there.
It was neat and clean and value for money. It is also perfectly located.
Thank you, the place was very clean and tidy, will come back again.
The time just passed too quickly.
Absolutely wonderful! Place is safe, tidy, has privacy and organizer as well as owner responds to requests quickly. Owner is very friendly and knows how to also ensure privacy of guests. Have already recommended it and will definitely use it again in the future.
Barbiers Bliss is not the most modern of places, but it was very convenient and clean with LOADS of space. Good value for money. Within walking distance of the beach. Even though it is set against the highway, the traffic didn't bother us at all. It is a home that's been divided into separate living units - we stayed in the part comprising the old house which is better suited to a family, but it was comfortable. For the amount we paid, it was definitely our money's worth. Nothing too fancy, but clean and convenient.
We spent two lovely nights at this little getaway and enjoyed every moment. Clean and well-equipped. The gismo which removes moisture from the air (under the washbasin) kept our crips nice and... well... crisp! Trish and Johan made us feel welcome and at home and the only thing that they didn't do was... stop the wind! We have our own little self-catering business (no advertisement meant), but we could look at the unit through the eyes of both guest and host and Barbiers Bliss came out tops. Good luck to the both of you and Barbiers Bliss. Next break, we'll know where to book.
Pleasantly surprised with clean, neat, large place. Nice inside braai.
Nice, relaxing accommodation.
Good value for money and very close to ocean. Neat for what you pay.
Refrigerator's freezer should have been defrosted and cleaned. Pots and pans not in good condition. Short egg beater. Short table in bathroom to put down toilet bags.
Very nice stay, and a few minutes drive from everything.
It is a well-equipped apartment that is rightly located, just around the corner you can experience the sea.
Really appreciated the sense of security as I was alone during this stay. Property was clean and the owners very accommodating and friendly. Will definitely use this venue again.
We as a family really enjoyed it, it was very peaceful and a nice place to break away from the village life. Will definitely make a reservation again.
Johan and his wife were there in person to meet us and explain everything about the apartment - accommodation was neat and comfortable with everything we needed, location was great, just a short walk from the most wonderful beach. I was very happy and satisfied with the choice of accommodation.
Recommend it to everyone and you will feel at home from the moment you stop there until you leave.
See the stars.
Will definitely stay here again. Nice, friendly owners, 5 minutes' walk from the beach, clean and tidy.
It was delicious. Close to beach and could just walk. Was a neat place.
I would definitely recommend the Barbers Bliss. The reception was very friendly and the unit was neat and clean. It is conveniently located near the beach so we could just walk to the beach as a family. Thank you very much for the kindness.
For 2 people it was sufficient!
The dampness in the flat is awful, it has invaded everything from the curtains to the couches and everything in between. The mattresses are terrible - seems like they need replacing with QUALITY mattresses. It would have been nice to know about the availability of towels a few days before we arrived as travellers from overseas are not contactable once they've landed ... The locking of the outside sliding door was not as easy as the owner advised.
Value for money and very pleasant.
Clean, good price for what you get, thank you very much.
My family and I had a very pleasant time. The owners are extremely friendly. The place is neat and really equipped with everything. Will definitely go there again.
Nice and quiet. Lockable garage an extra! Unfortunately not a sea view, but can definitely recommend.
