70 guests' feedbackReally exceeded my expectations. Right on the water just the way I love it. Place was so neat and tidy. Had everything I needed and more. We really enjoyed our stay despite the weather. Will definitely be back again soon.
It was delicious. Even a dishwasher! It's literally on the sea. At high tide the water comes up to the wall. Sunset is heavenly! Coffee and biscuits on the porch. "Breathtaking"!
Relaxing and nice in a wonderful location.
Very nice stay, good location and by the sea!
The house's name should change to "On the sea". There could not be a better location for a vacation spot. The sea is at the front door. Well-equipped house that meets all one's needs. All that could add value would be a canopy to park under.
Tastefully and neatly furnished. Hostess very helpful. Lovely sea view!!
The I was neat and clean. Als was comfortable and no complaints. We will definitely visit again.
The unit is fully equipped. Beautiful location, clean and tidy.
Beautiful view and place, everything needed is there. Thank you very much, it was a wonderful time.
The apartment was painfully neat with beautiful decor. The beds are very good quality. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely like to go back again. We felt safe. It was our home away from home.
Wonderful! Perfect! Will always return here if I can.
The location and unit are definitely worth the money and time. Best unit I have ever visited.
Everything in the apartment is very good quality and beautiful. You see and hear the sea all the time from every room. Can enjoy walking on the beach to the shops. Amazing sunset from the balcony. We stayed an extra night, just because it was so lovely, and will definitely go back again.
Unbeatable location and view. Spacious and well equipped. Extremely neat and exceptionally clean. Everything one needs, from dishwasher to soap; from luxurious chairs to WiFi; from reading material to safety, and, and, and.
We love By Die See. Our second stay and perfect yet again. Well stocked, perfectly clean with everything you need. Right on the beach.
The experience was much much more than we ever expected, the location, the convenience of the unit and the friendly welcome, as well as the view so close to the sea was incredible! We couldn't have asked for more and will definitely visit again! Thanks again for the lovely break!
Everything one needs is found in the unit, one would say it goes without saying, but it is not. At Die See's equipment is of excellent quality and the tasteful and cleanliness is noticeable, all the extra little items made our stay very pleasant. The location is perfect and the view beautiful. We enjoyed it very much.
Gordon's Bay is a little known jewell and By Die See was a revelation showcasing South African hospitality at its best.
It was a wonderful, peaceful weekend. Falling asleep and waking up by the sea were fantasies. It's really worth a visit.
Breathtaking with feet almost in the sea. Closer to the sea you get few.
You won't get any closer to the sea than By Die See, and the view is blissful. The tastefully decorated unit is spacious enough for a family and equipped with everything that makes a vacation comfortable, and places to eat or ice cream are close enough to walk. Thank you Rika, we had a great time.
Amazing, amazing, amazing. I will make a point to rent there whenever I can. It was like a fantasy place on the coast. I hope I can book there again in December. I am literally waiting for the owner to let us know if December is possible again in our dates.
Will definitely stay there again.
The dearest hostess. For sure 10/10 for this beautiful house by the sea. The detail, cleanliness and just everything is top notch. The dearest couple living on the premises. We want to visit again.
It's a comfortable, safe, stylish, neat private home on the beach. Truly a hidden gem. Thank you very much Rika for sharing your gem with us. Bless. Very nice people on site.
The sea is literally on your doorstep. My husband and I had a wonderful weekend at kyk die see. The place is equipped with everything you would need in a home. Thank you to Rika who personally welcomed us to the premises. The Aunt who lives there was very friendly and immediately made us feel at home. We will definitely come again. We could relax by the sea. We'll be back soon.
An extremely comfortable and tastefully furnished two bedroom apartment in Gordons Bay with incredible uninterrupted sea views.
I would highly recommend By Die See as accommodation. It is a few steps from the beach, the apartment is extremely well equipped, it is clean and very nicely furnished. The owner definitely has good taste. Good value for money. Thank you very much By The Sea. I will definitely come again.
You have everything you can think of in this beautiful place, all you need is your food and drink, very friendly people welcome us, you are right by the sea, thank you very much Rika it was very nice and we will definitely come visit again.
We enjoyed our stay. Location, view and accommodation was perfect and very comfortable.
The view is breathtaking! And really By the Sea! Hospitality from everyone was really gratifying. Comfortable, clean and tidy with everything you need! Would recommend By the Sea anytime! Thank you very much!
Incredibly beautiful, peaceful and full of peace. Will definitely visit again. Very friendly people. It was excellent, thank you Rika.
Rika is a nice hostess who made us feel at home. We had a great barbecue on the patio and enjoyed the sea right here with us. We are already planning our next visit By Die See.
The guest house has everything, including a dishwasher. Attention to detail stares one in the face.
I wish I could go more often, fell in love with the place.
Would definitely recommend the place to anyone. Beautiful place with beautiful people.
The best destination ever! Beautiful view. Quiet environment. Everything (and more) that is needed in the apartment. The most beautiful kitchenware and attention is given to the smallest "detail". Most beautiful destination to cleanse your soul!
No complainants, just felt sad when we had to check out. It's a perfect getaway.
This stay was booked as a gift for me. Cannot find fault with anything except our stay was too short. Beautifully appointed, has everything you need. Words cannot justify the views.
Would recommend to anyone who loves the sea.
Situated with views of the Helderberg Mountains with the beach on your doorstep in a secluded corner of Gordons Bay. Luxury accommodation. Numerous restaurants and small shops within walking distance, easy access to surrounding areas. We could not have asked more of the establishment, everything was laid out which made for such a relaxing and comfortable experience for all. Would highly recommend for a quiet, relaxing holiday.
Even though we couldn't choose the weather, our stay was perfect!! We were warmly received and immediately felt at home. What a pleasure it was to stay in a beautiful place and be able to rest with nothing more that we needed. Thank you very much for a lovely experience!
Hospitality surpassed all expectations. The fact that the owner made a special effort to welcome us personally made us feel right at home and set the tone for the rest of the weekend.
We will definitely visit By the Sea again. Everything from the top shelf. The house is perfectly equipped with everything you need and more. The view is unbeatable. If you want to be any closer to the sea you will have to sit on a boat.
Received very hospitably. The apartment is beautiful and has everything you could need. The view is breathtaking and you rest wonderfully!
The host was welcoming and very friendly. This place was was beautiful and had everything we needed. It was spotless and felt like home. Very secured and tranquil. We really enjoyed ourselves & came back re-energized. We would definitely book this establishment.
Fully equipped, stylish and right on the sea. Can't really ask for more.
A lovely unit with a home away from home feel. We loved the mix of old and new beach front décor. Although the unit caters for 4, there is enough extra cutlery, glasses, mugs etc. so that family and friends can come over for a meal. Beautifully located right on the beach with private access. Safe and secure.
One cannot get closer to the sea. The apartment is very well equipped with everything needed for self-catering. The only difficult aspect was the stairs which can be quite a challenge for elderly people. But Rika and Francois, as well as their parents, are extremely friendly and respond quickly to any queries.
We will always recommend this place and will always want to come back.
The accommodation was fantastic the people received us with open arms. Sea view is the best ever.
Thank you for making our weekend beautiful. The absolute best way to wake up, listening to the waves and breathing fresh air. A definite must do. Hope to see you soon!
We had a great stay, everything was perfect, neat, clean, the people are friendly, the view is perfect. We will definitely book a holiday there again.
Lovely comfortable accommodation with the best sea view ever.
The unit gives you value for money. Everything you need is there. It's wonderful to go to sleep at night and hear the ocean. Thank you very much. We had a wonderful stay. The owner's parents made us feel right at home.
By Die See is a wonderful place to relax. Lovely view and very comfortable! Going to sleep and waking up with the sound of the sea in your ears is wonderful. Francois and Rika, thank you very much for sharing your lovely place! Definitely see you again.
I have no negative comments. The place exceeded my expectations.
Absolutely fantastic and very good value for money. Would highly recommend staying here.
You can't get any closer to the sea!
Home away from home. Will definitely visit again.
Best location imaginable. Walking distance from the beach, and close to the walking path and harbour.
See stars.
We enjoyed every moment and the view was awesome.
Everything was perfect.
Rika and Francois are very hospitable people and welcomed us with open arms. They are very friendly and for what we paid, we got more than we expected. I will definitely stay at their place again and recommend it to anyone to stay there. It is peaceful and by the sea.
By die See is a gorgeous, fully equipped cottage. Rika and Francios have thought of everything and then some. It is the perfect getaway if you want to relax, with direct beach access and mountain views from all windows, it really is a little gem. The warm and friendly welcome from the family leading up to and on arrival made us feel at home and really just rounded off the stay for us. We certainly will be back, thank you.
Everything was perfect.
Beautiful place, lovely and great quality interior design. Keep in mind that the stairs might be a challenge for a senior citizen I would definitely recommend it to anybody. Enjoy!
By Die See was an absolute gem - excellent location with the beach right on your doorstep. The flat is well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We will definitely come again!
What struck us was how well equipped the house was in terms of "self-catering". There was absolutely nothing we could/wanted to complain about. Had a lovely weekend!
