70 guests' feedbackWe had a wonderful stay and will definitely stay there again.
Very tranquil and peaceful setting. Fairly close to necessary amenities. Close to various beaches.
The best service, we could have asked for. Thank you.
Very enjoyable. Close to Grootbrak and Glentana. All the facilities that one needed and more. Excellent value for money and the cat was super friendly. Wall heater and electric blankets a real blessing. Highly recommend this establishment.
See stars.
The stay was great. The host was so friendly. The house was beautiful and cozy. I love the privacy. I will definitely go back.
If you need a safe, super clean, well-equipped overnight facility, here is your home-away-from-home! The perfect, friendly hostess. Secure overnight parking nearby and very private, especially if you are not tied to a TV. 100% recommended!
We had a very nice stay. Private and clean. Very friendly welcome. Very central with so much to see and do in short distances. Will definitely stay there again.
It was perfect, clean, and quiet environment.
Very pleasant. The unit has all the basic necessities. Quiet and secure. Leonie and Des are very nice hosts.
It was amazing, nice and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay. Only one thing that I think should be added to Die Ark is a television, then it will be great.
Leonie was wonderful. Place perfect for what I needed.
We were received very warmly and the accommodation had everything we needed and as described.
Would definitely recommend it. Hostess very friendly. Cute little place.
See stars.
We were very comfortable and had everything we needed. Great host.
Complimented by exceptional hospitality! Definitely worth a revisit. "Licks" overnight, feel at home experience!
Des and Leonie are some of the best hosts and hostesses we have ever stayed with. Always there for advice and suggestions where to go and where to buy what. Every morning comes to say hello, every time nice chats. The apartment is completely private, great area, very safe, close to shops, walking distance from the beach. Des and Leonie are strangers who have become like friends. Our little dog was more than welcome there. We will definitely go again next year. Great host and hostess. Great area. Centrally located between George and Mossel Bay.
Will definitely use Leoni's place again. I would highly recommend this to anyone needing a getaway.
Friendly reception, neat and well-equipped apartment. Nice decor.
Well equipped place under main house. Separate entrance and secure parking.
Wish we could stay longer, but do it next time. Thanks for everything.
Part of Grootbrak that I saw made me want to come again and stay longer.
Accommodation is well located and host very helpful and concerned.
Nice little quiet place. You can hear the people upstairs, but it wasn't a bother. Friendly host. Very accommodating.
No TV, no tea, no sugar/sweetener, no soap/shower gel. Due to load shedding no tea/coffee in the morning. Thermos flask?
It was very peaceful and relaxing and that's what we needed today.
Hostess and host are lovely people with open hearts, very helpful.
The host was really friendly and available. Just off the freeway, the accommodation is nestled in indigenous bush. Beautiful wooden features and spacious rooms with all we needed. A short walk to the beach.
Friendly hostess. Neat and clean. Would only recommend a better kitchen light, and a TV would be nice after a day's hustle and bustle.
During load shedding there were no lights.
We arrived rather late, exhausted after a long stressful drive with a difficult load on a busy road. Leonie welcomed us made us feel very welcome. The flat had everything we needed. It was warm and cozy. Will never sleep anywhere else when we in this area.
Nice and quiet can really relax. Love the braai area.
Great service, keep in contact, professional, so beautiful! We will most definitely come again.
We were received extremely friendly and hospitable upon arrival. Everything was explained to us so that no ambiguities could arise. Information about the area, d. i. location of shopping mall, carport, etc. was provided to us. We will definitely use the facilities again in the future. Real value for money. Thank you very much Leonie and Des.
Well located, stylish, safe, private, beautiful and atmospheric. People are friendly and helpful.
Felt like I stayed with friends.
Would recommend the place to anyone, quiet nothing to bother. The people are so friendly and are just ready to help as and when they can. Was really a pleasure.
Receive good service and everything you need. Will definitely go there again.
Everything was 100%. Good reception and service for the whole time we stayed there.
It is good value for the money you pay.
We will definitely stay there again - this time just longer to use the beautiful braai area as well.
Very comfortable and warm hidden among the trees. Would recommend anytime to anyone staying in the Grootbrak area.
I will definitely recommend Die Ark for accommodation.
Our second visit of the year. Good improvements! Friendly owners, well furnished, comfortable, peaceful and safe. Recommended! Delicious barbecue corner outside.
Nice place if you need to spend one night soon.
We had a nice stay. The place is neat and Leonie is very friendly.
We will book The Ark again at any time should we need accommodation again. It was conveniently close to the beach and also a very nice setting.
The 5 days we spent at Die Ark were definitely, without a doubt, the most enjoyable part of our holiday. The owners are real people of heart and feel like long-time friends. We had a great time and rested well!
Leonie & Des promise to work on a plan to get washing-up facilities indoors. I would not like to go outside to wash dishes in winter and rain. Otherwise, it was a really nice place to visit with friendly, easy-going house owners. One of the few accommodations that covers a sheet under the duvet! It annoys me when there isn't one, so I travel around with my own sheet.
Very hospitable and lovely people - wonderful stay!
Safe accommodation for 2 people. Clean, well equipped.
Leonie was very hospitable and helpful. Nice stay.
As we only booked for 1 night we were clearly passing through and the availability of a cup of coffee/tea would have been nice.
See stars.
Leonie and Des are wonderful. The Ark has everything one needs. Beautiful place, good location. Thank you very much for a very nice 4 days! I definitely highly recommend The Ark.
Very quiet and peaceful environment. Had a great time under the tree. Centrally located between George and Mossel Bay. Terribly good hospitality.
See stars.
Very nice quiet place, everything clean and well equipped and very comfortable bed, for us this is important and of course a fantastic sheltered braai place for a nice visit. Will go back for sure. Thank you very much, places like that make a holiday worth it.
Des and Leonie are very nice people. Thanks for letting my dachshund hang out. And thanks for the blanket! Rarely in guest places these days! Would highly recommend the place and would stay there again myself! Thank you very much!
Very kindly received by our hostess. Went out of their way to make us feel at home. The unit is great and the surroundings feel like the jungle with beautiful plants and trees. Would definitely recommend
Otherwise, very nice place to stay.
Photos untrue. Very many mosquitoes. Limited hot water. Small fridge, had to have meat etc. put in cooler boxes. Do not be listed under self-catering.
The hospitality was awesome. Very peaceful place, clean and neat. Would definitely go back and recommend it.
Probably the best hospitality I've ever encountered. Would definitely recommend.
The hosts were friendly and helpful and the space was comfortable with a separate entrance. It is located ideally to explore the surrounding towns nearby. Very clean and spacious.
Will really recommend place to friends. Will visit there again. Very nice place and neat. Good people.
Leoni and her husband have so much hospitality, we had such a nice stay there and it's so peaceful and safe there.
Nice and clean, a quiet place to rest.
Leonie and her husband are very nice people.
