"Safe and peaceful."

Lynette was very friendly and helpful. The yard is safe and the self-catering unit was clean. We had a peaceful night's rest. Would have loved to stay longer.

"Peaceful and had a great time relaxing."

We were received very kindly. The house was very clean and tidy and very well equipped. There is absolutely everything you can think of to need. Would definitely recommend it.

"Short but very convenient. Neat with friendly hostess. I will definitely be back."

Short but very convenient. Neat with friendly hostess. I will definitely be there again.

"Terribly delicious."

Nice and safe. Kitchen comes with more than enough utensils.

"Very happy with our stay."

Very nice, quiet, clean but still close to town.

"Very enjoyable."

Enjoyed the overall stay.

"Very nice."

We only stayed for a night.

"Very pleasant."

We were very pleasantly surprised and enjoyed our stay very much. Very comfortable and not too far outside Port Nolloth, and we went to a lovely meal. The room was very clean, and the host was very friendly.

"People very friendly. Richtersveld is beautiful."

Cottage has everything needed. Comfortable and neat.

"Was comfortable."

Overall the stay was good. However, we only stayed one night. Would like to meet or just see the owner or host, hostess upon arrival.

"Restful."

Bietjies Akkommodasie was busy with fence construction around, but the owner took us to their other family property - that's all accommodation. Without further extra costs. Accommodation was like a sea house. Safety only a concern as there is no parking behind a gate.

"Wonderful."

Great rooms. Great views. Great character.

"Quiet, tidy, clean and fantastic bedding. We had a great stay, thank you."

Safe, peaceful place to stay.

"Brilliant and convenient."

The stay was arranged at very short notice and our team was highly impressed. Thank You for accommodating us.

"A cute little place with a lot of potential, but at R1020 per night for 2 people I expected more."

McDougalls Bay is a beautiful coastal town, but the accommodation was somewhat disappointing. There is no hand soap or sanitizer, not a single shelf in the bathroom and no hanging cabinets. For a backpacker or younger people who don't mind living out of a suitcase it might be acceptable, but my girlfriend is 82 and found it inconvenient. In addition, the description on the website is vague - basically you have to take everything but toilet paper and washing-up liquid with you. It wasn't until the sixth day that someone contacted us and asked if they could come clean the unit and bring fresh towels. There are also no burglar bars in front of the windows, so for safety's sake you have to close all the windows at night, even if it's hot and stuffy.

"Wasn't there long but it was peaceful."

Very nice and comfortable place to stay.

"Pleasant. Everything we expected."

Had a great time, will come again.

"It is a stunning little place for a family of 4!"

This was affordable accommodation. Although you can not see the sea but you can hear it. It has everything you need! All bedding, kitchen utensils, etc. I would love to go back!

"It was pleasant to stay there. "

Safe accommodation. Very close to the beach. Nice view, clean and neat.

"Value for money."

Everything is so neat and nicely furnished. You can just pack up and enjoy your vacation.

"Cosy."

It was very convenient, everything is at your disposal.

"Excellent accommodation."

Accommodation was excellent and of good value. The service of the management team was superb and the place is very neat and well kept. Strongly recommend Bietjies.

"Pleasant in That's All."

We didn't stay in Bietjies, because it's on the side of town where we felt unsafe. We called the owners who then moved us to Dis Al, where we had a nice stay. The cleaners should clean the floors better with clean water and soap. Mary, who is in charge of the units, was very helpful and friendly. We are grateful that the owners moved us to Dis Al.

"It was breathtaking!"

It was very exciting, accommodation was fantastic and Lynette is very friendly!

"Dumbfounded."

Breathtaking experience, I promise.

"It was heaven on earth. "

Everything worked out perfectly as planned.

"Nice place. Value for money."

Had a great stay with my wife and two children. Clean, tidy and very safe.

"Comfy and comfortable."

Pleasant and clean. Port Nolloth Museum worth a visit.

"We arrived amidst a wind storm. Everything was hunky dory and such a relief."

We really had a good stay. Would've liked to stay longer, but circumstances didn't allow for it. Would recommend my friends to this place. Value for money and excellent service. Would recommend the following: light at the braai and a notice outside to indicate that you may only park in front of the chalet. Parking either side is prohibited. My car got stuck, but with the help of friends it was quickly released.

"Very nice place, just very remote which makes it feel unsafe."

Very well equipped.

"Pleasant, neat, adequate, though cramped."

Everything was well organized, and the reception friendly and efficient. Bietjie Hie is small and cramped, but sufficient for an overnight stay for four. The place is well equipped.

"No water. Toilets blocked. "

No water and toilets out of order for more than half of stay.

"Interesting, but I won't be checking in there again anytime soon."

In our opinion, the unit is reasonable if staying for a day or at most two days, because it is quite cramped inside. Noisy shutter doors and bathroom door cannot close. No proper wardrobes in rooms, you live out of your suitcase. Kitchen equipment relatively limited. After the second day of no power and water, we decided to pack up a day earlier and go home.

"Our holiday there was as the name says, Bit nice."

This is really a basic self catering place. What bothered us the most was the fact that the bathroom door was broken and could not close properly. The bin had no lid and no sharp knives. Our car got stuck in the sand pit next to the cottage. The noise from the people racing their scramblers, quads and others on the dunes in front of and next to the house was almost too much for us. Furthermore, the electricity was off more than it was on. We had to sort out a blocked/clogged drain. The mosquitoes were also just too bad. It's not on the beach but at least not too far from it either. Unfortunately, we did not have a nice stay here.

"Not for a family."

Very cramped, smells of a fireplace, very hot and no fan/ air-con, can’t leave windows open, very exposed to theft possibilities, no burglar proofing.

"Felt relaxed."

Would come again, definitely. We enjoyed our stay there.

"Nice place to stay."

The place was clean and tidy and the management was helpful and friendly. My car got stuck in the sand next to the unit and they sent someone to tow me out after a phone call. The "walking distance from the beach" is a slight exaggeration because it creates the impression that one can see the sea from the accommodation but this is not the case. Die Bietjies is the furthest one can stay from the sea in McDougals bay (but it is still within walking distance). In terms of amenities there are a few things that could be looked into: The boiler in our unit was not working and the power kicked out. We used the boiler next door (fortunately there were no residents next door during our stay). The TV didn't work. The cables seem to have loose connections somewhere (both units, we checked). The image is static for 2 minutes while there is sound and then the sound and image go away and then the sound comes back and then a static image. The hearth is nice and big and we used it well. The problem is that the chimney is open to the top without a wind guide. If the wind blows the wrong way then the smoke blows back into the unit. Then all the doors and windows must be opened. There must be a strong draft through the unit so we had to keep the bathroom window open the whole time. If it's cold, it's a problem. Apart from the three things, we had a nice stay and enjoyed our time.

"Very peaceful location."

A little more services would make the place fantastic, but overall very cute.
