68 guests' feedbackIt's like your home away from home. The view of the sea from almost every room is breathtakingly beautiful. We go there every year.
Indescribably perfect place to rest and a wonderful view of the sea.
We have been going to Calamari for 4 years and will always go back. This is a great place and very easy with small children!
Safe and secure. Well equipped, modern and clean.
Apartment very clean and tidy - has everything you need, was lovely.
We had a great stay and would go back anytime. Ideal for families with children who can play on the lawn while you barbecue.
Stay was very relaxing except for the beach being brown by our section. View was exceptional from the two rooms above. Pet friendly. My daughters' room and sons' room had bed bugs; they were bitten terribly. Please have those two rooms' beds cleaned. No air conditioning available, even though I asked for air conditioning in Calamari 11.
The house is fully equipped with everything you need. Children could have fun playing and own privacy on the beach was beneficial. Will definitely return.
Will definitely recommend. Would have liked to have a small shop/cafe nearby, without having to drive for necessities.
Enjoyed vacation with a very nice sea view. Would recommend that part at sea be fenced off to increase safety.
We had a great time staying there, the unit has everything you need. The whales this year were a nice bonus!
Chalet and surroundings were incredible.
The flat had all the amenities you could need.
Die wakker word met die see se branders wat breek en die sonsopkoms is so sprokies mooi. My honde het dit geniet en was so maklik gou strand toe en terug sonder om te ry.
Very cute apartment, would go again.
Weekend break - good value.
Staying in Calamari 10 was fantastic. The unit is right on the ocean with no one else in front of you. Our family really enjoyed having lunch picnics on the lawn with the ocean as background music. Although most of the time we went swimming at the main beach at Ramsgate (only a 5 min drive) because the children are still small and enjoyed swimming in the river and tidal pool. The beach in front of us was still fantastic for early morning and late afternoon adventures with the kids and we even befriended an octopus. Will definitely stay there again.
Very nice location and unit had everything we needed for our week we stayed.
It's literally on the beach! The view is fantastic. Feel like your home away from home. Will definitely vacation there again. Thank you very much Mandy for your excellent service.
Would definitely recommend Calamari 10!
Great views and right on the beach.
The apartment has everything needed for a wonderful break. The view is wonderful and the area peaceful.
I have never had a kitchen that is as well equipped and access to both a dishwasher and washing machine was great. The unit is also very attractively decorated.
So peaceful and relaxing.
Weather was nice and we just wanted to rest. Therefore this was the ideal place. Very disappointed in the area. Ramsgate and Margate are no longer the holiday destination we used to know.
It was absolutely awesome.
Unbelievably nice stay. Few steps from the beach. The cottage was equipped with EVERYTHING one could need. Very safe. Perfect for family, especially with small children
The cottage was very neat and tidy and clean. Everything that you need was provided and it's in an excellent location. It's got a beautiful view and it's right on the beach which was perfect.
We had a lovely time. The house was well-equipped with everything you needed from hairdryer, dishwasher to washing machine etc. The kids loved the beach and the grass area to lounge around. Definitely will return for a longer stay.
It's definitely a place I would recommend. It is clean and tidy, plus they have thought of everything, including toys for children. Every morning you have badgers that come to visit. Will definitely stay there again.
Calamari 10 lived up to expectations from the way it was advertised. I am truly grateful for such honesty. I enjoyed the privacy of the entire process and will recommend the place to all I know.
See stars.
Everything was just great, will definitely go back and our kids love everything I showed them on video. The time at Calamari 10 made me decide to sell in Vereeniging, I'm going to look for a place to live on the South Coast.
Mandy gives great customer service. The place is definitely value for money. Incredible sea views throughout the unit. We will definitely go back again.
Ek kan nie genoeg uitdruk oor hoeveel ons ons verblyf by Calamari 10 geniet het nie, dit was bekostigbare, perfekte plek, die eenheid is absoluut stunning, die foto's doen geen geregtigheid nie, ek het elke oomblik geniet. Baie dankie!
Nice, really enjoyed, will visit again.
Would recommend an upgrade on the DStv.
See stars.
They really thought of everything: from toys, board games, dishwasher, beach bag and chairs, alarm system, lock up garage, I could go on. We stayed wonderfully and could really just relax. Although I would recommend that you drive to the swimming beaches instead, it is still within walking distance. The return to the long day in the sun was not so pleasant. The accommodation is really centrally located i.t.v. shops, beaches, places to eat etc. The only suggestion I can make is that they buy a small vacuum cleaner as the apartment is no longer "serviced", it's really hard to get rid of all the sand with just a broom and shovel. Thanks for a wonderful getaway, we will definitely book again.
The allocation is very nice, very quiet and nice for the fishing. Nice view.
The decor in the unit is beautiful and the owners really thought of everything from pots to toys for the kids. The lower room where the two single beds are is just not very practical as it is ideal for children, but it's between the living area/kitchen and living room so the children only settled down when the whole house went to bed. Difficult with smaller children. Because the beach is open to the public, there was a case or two where strangers came walking in front of our unit asking for money. The unit itself protected the owners very much.
This was our third time staying here and Calamari 10 will definitely see us again!
Accommodation was value for money.
Calamari 10 was a great time for us. The unit is incredibly equipped with everything you can think of and more. Mandy is fantastic to deal with and everything went so smoothly. The grass in front of the unit is ideal for children to play on. The badgers come to visit often and the sea is a stone's throw away. We can recommend it to anyone.
Very nice place with a beautiful sea view. Will certainly go again.
Amazing to fall asleep in the evening with the sea in your ears. Can be at the beach in minutes and home again in minutes. Our two toddlers enjoyed every moment.
We really enjoyed it, beautiful place. Will go back again soon. Would recommend to anyone.
What a lovely surprise with the sea on your doorstep! So comfortable, even with toys for the little ones, really well rested. Enjoyed every moment, was lulled to sleep at night, drank nice coffee while daydreaming and looking out over the sea. And fun to barbecue with the sea as a conversation piece! Will definitely go back again. Value for money!
Here you are welcomed with open arms, safe and tidy. Great place.
The apartment is particularly well equipped, everything you need is there. Tasteful and beautiful. The view is breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience at Calamari. We have already immediately booked our next weekend there.
It was the most amazing holiday we have ever been on. Calamari 10 was everything LekkeSlaap said it would be and much more. So close to the sea, so peaceful and lovely. The place was clean and beautiful.
Very comfortable and peaceful vacation. The fact that there is a lawn is fantastic with the ocean right on your doorstep. Nice location close to everything. The unit is well equipped. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Thank you very much for the beautiful accommodation. It is very well located, safe and by the sea. The place was very clean and tidy and all the necessary facilities were there. Really value for money and I will definitely recommend it to family and friends.
Thanks for the excellent service. Will definitely see you again next year. If not earlier! Beautiful place and very neat. Could not have asked for better.
We really enjoyed the holiday. We will definitely be back next year.
The unit offers all the amenities expected of a self-catering unit and more. From the very comfortable beds to the well-equipped kitchen and private built-in braai on the stoep. And then there is the wonderful sea view regardless of whether you are relaxing on the veranda or in any of the bedrooms. The location is also perfect for nature lovers. There is a family of badgers that live in the bushes next to the house and stretch out on the lawn every morning before the hordes of monkeys make their appearance. Both Margate and Ramsgate's swimming beaches can be reached within minutes by road or by a refreshing walk along the beautiful beach.
It was delicious. The place was very clean and had everything you could need and more. Very conveniently located. Will go again.
Best beach holiday yet, with the most wonderful sea view you could ask for. Not even necessary to visit the other beaches because you have your own spotless and quiet beach on your doorstep. Where can you still find a place to sit and watch the sunrise with the two most beautiful blue duiker playing on the lawn? Truly worth it, and we will definitely go again. My wife was a bit skeptical because there was no fence but that was only at the beginning seeing as how the alarm and the 24 hour security services makes you feel completely safe. I will go again even if they put up no fence. You won't know before you've been there. Very nice stay!
Calamari 10 is fully equipped and safe with all the necessities. The garden is nicely cared for, and the sea is right on your front steps. Definitely good value for money.
The pictures don't do it justice. Mandy the owner is a sweetheart.
Top-notch facilities with a sea view from every bed. Close tot the peaceful beach and green grass makes it even better. Security in the complex can be improved especially if you pitch up with two vehicles, but will definitely be back.
Calamari 10 is a beautiful unit with the most gorgeous sea view. I would suggest that they consider a more modern TV in the unit.
Security can be tightened.
It was a comfortable place and had basically everything you need. View and distance to beach was something special. Abundant animal life that came to visit during the day. Will go again and highly recommend.
Clean, fully equipped and definitely worth it. Recommended to all!
Thank you again for everything, the accommodation was lovely, well maintained with all the right equipment in it as well as tastefully decorated (Loved it!).
Very neat unit by the sea. The unit has all the necessary amenities and is very nice and clean. It is cleaned daily.
