34 guests' feedbackBeautiful home and lovely decorated. I would perhaps leave guests basic items such as a bit of sugar, coffee, tea, and milk.
Had a wonderful stay. Will definitely come again.
My family and I had a lovely weekend. The house is comfortable and also has a perfect location. Easy to get to the beach and you can hear the sea roaring.
Very nice house with all the necessary amenities.
Very peaceful atmosphere, walking distance from the beach. Good view from porch and balcony. No passing traffic. Should have stayed longer.
It was delicious, was our second time in the house. And we will definitely go again.
We enjoyed our time there. The location is lovely and we felt secure. We were surprised that there was no salt or pepper. It was the first time we experienced that. Also, your television set seems to be working only halfway. The bottom half was dark. Other than that, it was a lovely time.
Second visit and once again very much enjoyed. Will definitely come again in the future! (My husband neglected to report this, but the pipe from the sink in the downstairs bathroom with shower is very loose, so the water leaks onto the shelves and floor after use.)
Had a nice stay, but the grill was still dirty from previous tenants. The shower needs some attention. The rear door's lock and handle are very loose and difficult to open and close. The bushes in the corridor behind the house to the small gate need some pruning. Little things that bother, but overall a very nice stay and visit!
We had a nice stay. I just feel that the bathrooms need some attention. The shower floor is very smooth and may require a rough tile. There are no towel arrangements in any of the downstairs bathrooms. Nor a shower rack for your shampoo etc. not to post. It must stand on the ground and it fills the entire shower. Terribly uncomfortable. Other than that, everything is perfect.
The Veldmuis is spacious and very nicely furnished. We will definitely go there again.
The Veldmuis is very well equipped and has the nicest, large patio. We enjoyed every moment!
I loved the scenery and would definitely recommend it to others. I would, however, recommend that secure parking be provided.
The place looked like someone had left it and it hadn't been cleaned. On the porch upstairs was bird droppings that must have been weeks old and in the house you could still smell an open fire. The plates, glasses etc. are all inappropriate and some of the items are broken. The glass of the coffee table was broken and it was dangerous. We saw someone mentioned this before, so clearly there is no maintenance. It is also uncomfortable with items of the owner in the place and the rooms and garage that are locked and cannot be used. Clearly feeling that the place is being neglected.
It's a very old house, which needs a lot of attention. Sitting outside is not an option at all as you are constantly bothered by illegal lobster sellers. The upstairs porch is unkempt and the furniture needs attention. It's a big, dark house.
Very disappointed in the unit.
The Field Mouse is a real gem! You will see us again soon! It was great!
Just a suggestion. Candles for loadshedding.
The Veldmuis is very neat and luxurious and you certainly get value for your money. We would definitely recommend it. Would only recommend that the fireplace in the master bedroom's broken glass door should be replaced, but apart from that we had a very nice home in the Veldmuis.
Very neat house. Fully equipped with everything one needs. Would definitely recommend if you want to stay a little further away from the town centre. Walking distance from the sea. Nice porch for a lovely visit.
Near the sea. Comfortable and adequately furnished. The only inconvenience is that the fridge's shelves that probably broke (one in the door and two inside) were not replaced.
The house is neat and well equipped. The sea view and location is a bonus!
This beautiful place with so much attention to detail was the biggest disappointment of our trip along the West Coast and hurts the website's name. It does not meet standards. The place has been very poorly cleaned for months. Everything is full of dust and is nowhere near clean. The owners will be bitterly unhappy to see their expensive detail items left unattended. The one lower bathroom's shower or toilet leaks large puddles of water. The upstairs shower floor is dirty, not even the shower rack was wiped down. We invited guests over for this part of our trip and were embarrassed to let them stay here. My suggestion: Hire a new cleaning team to deep-clean. The washing machine and dishwasher are a bonus.
Please see explanation as mentioned above. Coming from JHB for 2 days and no one made sure the unit was ok. Very disappointed.
Very nice house, luxuriously equipped and value for money. Nice and safe.
I would stay at the Veldmuis again anytime, spacious, comfortable and very tidy. All negative thing I can think of is that the pan and knife set in the kitchen are really at their end and definitely need to be replaced.
Very neat, well located and outstandingly equipped.
The unit itself exceeded all our expectations. However, petty crime appears to be a problem in Paternoster and visitors should be vigilant to ensure that an otherwise pleasant experience is not soured by this.
The house was clean and well equipped with good appliances and fittings. A hair dryer and a box of matches (to light the gas during load shedding) would have been the cherry on top! A house manual would have been useful for information such as how to use the back door to get to the beach. We walked the long way round a few times before discovering it for ourselves! Duh! The layout was a bit strange in that there was nowhere to sit in the sun in private except for an upstairs patio which led from the en-suite bathroom. No sun loungers were provided. Given the proximity to the beach, this may not be a negative for most people. We'd have liked to have been able to put the alarm on while we slept at night as well as when we went out during the day, but this is nit-picking. The house was perfectly lovely for a 3-day end of summer break.
Kitchen equipment is not sufficient.
The Veldmuis is incredibly beautiful and luxuriously furnished. The location is in a quiet cul-de-sac and the view of the sea is optimal. We used the patio with built-in braai and it provided good shelter from the wind. The stay was absolutely idyllic!
Absolutely got my peace and quiet. Private, very nice decorating, everything we needed and more. Top class. Will definitely go again.
The furnishings were stunning, around every corner you'll find something creative that make you discover more and more detail in the house. The only recommendation: the room in the loft, the mirror is never cleaned and the carpets should be swapped or taken out. Other than that, no complaints, just compliment the person who did the decor. It feels like home.
Nice place but it was hell with the construction next to the place from Friday until Sunday morning. From 7am there was building and cutting and I had no rest. No one warned us that they were building right next to the house. It was really just one big disappointment. I just wanted so much to get away to the sea and come to rest, sleep late and enjoy my birthday and get away from my own house and the street's construction. I arrive there for R1800 a night with a chopper and hammer from 7 until late dark. It really wasn't pleasant.
