214 guests' feedbackAgain as before very nice. Neat place, with everything you need. Really a pleasure to stay there (when you can get a place).
Absolutely fantastic stay. We had a great time. Stayed.
Very relaxing and great views from the comfort of the house.
Had a very nice stay and visited in a very neat nice opposite a restaurant.
D. V. Engelhijs was a beautiful place. Everything was exactly as advertised. Jax is an exceptional hostess and her calmness is conveyed in the decor of this cottage. We felt like royalty when we walked into Engelhijs on Sunday afternoon. This is what holiday accommodation in the price range should look like. I recommend D. V. Engelhijs anytime. Thanks Jax!
We had a really nice stay, everything was perfect. The view was very beautiful. The most beautiful beach just across the road!
Beautiful and comfortable.
Our stay was good and beautiful.
Correct, we had a very nice stay. Thank you.
Had a great stay and the location is fantastic!
Fantastic place with a beautiful view. The apartment has everything you need and it was very neat and clean.
It was really nice. D. V. Engelhijs is excellently located, very neat, safe and contains everything you need in the room. We will recommend to friends and family.
Wonderful stylish little gem - will definitely be back.
We had a wonderful stay despite the severe cold that hit the Western Cape for the first time this year. Paternoster is beautiful and we had a pleasant and luxurious stay in the unit. The hostess and host went out of their way to set things up and make things special for us. Thank you very much for that. It's really 5-star quality accommodation and I've traveled all over the world.
We enjoyed the privacy, tranquility, sound of waves as well as the accommodating of the owner who met our needs every step of the way. In fact, she went the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. We also enjoyed the fact that a gas heater was available as it was rather chilly. Much appreciated.
See stars.
Our stay was excellent. Paternoster is the most beautiful place. The view from our house to the beach was spectacular. 10/10.
Thank you very much for a special place. Everything was neat and clean, all the facilities we would want to use were available. The location is unbeatable and the hostess friendly and professional. Thank you very much.
We had a great time, and never felt unsafe. Will definitely want to stay here again in the future.
Great stay, location amazing with view of the ocean.
We had a great time at D.V. Engelhijs. The house has everything you could need and is close to the beach. There are many restaurants in the area or you can have fun and have a barbecue at the cottage. A wonderful hostess.
Yes, it was very nice, close to the beach and a restaurant.
Was once again unforgettable at Paternoster and the accommodation is great. All arrangements between the website and the host were 120% and will definitely visit again.
Very nice stay. Beautiful clean and tidy place, right by the sea. Will definitely visit/stay there again. Hostess is great.
Good location and quiet with a complete DSTV package meant that, when at home, we could watch TV in peace after the day.
Loved the venue. It was easily accessible to all amenities. We did not have to worry about the safety as there was constant patrol of the area. It was also a pleasure to live directly opposite the beach and we enjoyed the morning beach walks.
Beautiful place. Beautiful view.
Very comfortable and neat.
Accommodation was perfect. Right on the beach. Well equipped, everything one needs!
Great location, well-equipped apartment, very comfortable.
Yes, the stay was excellent.
We had an incredible stay. The accommodation was comfortable, peaceful and situated in the perfect spot. The owner was helpful and welcoming.
The location of the accommodation is excellent and the sea is on your doorstep. Voorstrand Restaurant is located across the guest house. The owners of the accommodation also own a restaurant at the harbor which can also be recommended.
This is a fantastic place with an excellent location. However, at least they can provide milk for the coffee.
This is the third time we have stayed there and hopefully not the last.
See stars.
D.V. Engelhijs is definitely worth the effort and money. The accommodation is directly opposite the beach with a nice restaurant. The place is well equipped with everything you need and is very neat and clean. The host welcomed us with a smile and made some recommendations about Paternoster.
The unit is very neat, clean and comfortably furnished. It is walking distance to restaurants and shops, with the beach just across the street. Thank you, we had a great rest! See you next time.
It was a lovely and peaceful visit in an exquisite and stylish unit across from our favorite lobster restaurant. The beautiful paintings in each room added to the tasteful decor. The hostess's restaurant suggestions were spot on with delicious fish dishes.
Very clean and comfortable.
Extremely neat, beautiful, with everything you need. Right across from the beach and a restaurant. Would just like to have good coffee (Nescafe or similar) in the flask and maybe a small container with milk for a first coffee. Prospective guests: Mussel sellers at the gate are quite troublesome.
Absolutely awesome! Host/Owner - amazing service!
Our stay was excellent, location great.
Would recommend, was nice but just a few points. The house is divided into 3 units and the room of 1 is by the braai visiting area of 2 and the bathroom windows. Security has at the door that one can sleep with the door open. There were no beer glasses either. But other than that it is very beautiful.
Yes, it was very nice with good weather.
Great with a lovely view.
Enjoyed stay, close to restaurants and shops. Peaceful, home away from home.
Great place, but the bed was super uncomfortable. We even had to turn it over to sleep better. I actually feel a bit lost because it says the place has a king size bed, but actually has a queen size bed. The main reason I booked the place was for the king size bed, to our disappointment. So actually feel like I paid for something I didn't get. I would like the hostess's feedback and an explanation as to why she is advertising it this way if it is not? We had a nice stay and the place was neat and had everything you need. The kitchen could do with a bit of an update with some of the pans being rusty so we couldn't use them at all. I do have photos as evidence too. The grill was so dirty that I probably had to clean it myself for an hour before we could even think about grilling. So maybe just pay attention to that too. I think she should mention that there is a restaurant directly opposite you and you don't have the sea view as you expect you will have. Make it clear in the description and add a photo so people know about it. Other than that everything was okay. Hostess was also not as great as everyone says she is. Actually think she's pretty short.
The stay was comfortable but advertised as on the beach, without any mention of a busy restaurant between it and the beach. Needs fumigation to get rid of the biggest cockroaches I've ever seen!
Quiet, well located, nice view and very tasteful and neat.
The place is centrally located and has all the amenities you could possibly need. The check-in and check-out was also very convenient. We will use the accommodation again.
Stay was wonderful, even with all the load shedding.
We had a very nice stay. On the beach and close to 2 very good restaurants. Typical West Coast cottage, fully equipped. We lacked nothing. Just walked out of the house on the beach. Will definitely want to go there again.
See stars.
Well equipped and beautiful. Pity about the restaurant right in front of the accommodation as it attracts beggars to the area. But otherwise it was very good.
Beautiful accommodation and well-equipped.
The guest house is extremely well located and very comfortable. Jackie is friendly and everything was fine. Thank you.
Although space is a bit tight for 2 people, the location of the premises makes up for it. Value for money.
The room is very neat with a separate bathroom. It was very neat and clean. It is truly a pleasure to stay there.
We had a great stay. The unit was very clean and everything that you need is available.
Been here before. Only the shower floor needs attention. Will try to get a booking for Easter weekend 2024.
Invigorating atmosphere. One can smell the peace. It feels like time stands still and I was screaming next to a rugby field, not a stadium, during my student days. Many thanks to the website.
Well over. Will stay there again.
We loved our stay. I have no negative words to say. The hosts are thoughtful and generous in their offering.
Very good location. Just across the road is the beach. Comfortable place to stretch out.
The Vendors trying to sell Crayfish became a bit annoying.
Easy check-in, easy walk to everywhere and a nice comfy bed. Do you need more?
It's the third time I've used D.V. Engelhijs. Once again we really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend it. Thank you very much, Jackie.
Shade net, especially for sun and rain, tiles in shower are loose - a risk of cutting feet when showering. Unit very comfortable but very hot and needs cooling. Toilet seat is loose and therefore uncomfortable. Furthermore, the stay was very pleasant and we would highly recommend it.
Did not meet the owner or manager, but someone came and opened it for us. The lady on the phone was friendly and helpful. Would stay there overnight again.
Our hostess Jax made us feel very welcome.
Very nice place to stay. The location is fantastic and we will definitely stay longer next time.
Jackie was in constant contact until I arrived and she gave me a warm welcome, and even helped with my bags. I unfortunately had to leave my stay earlier because I fell ill, but will definitely go back again to fully enjoy the stay. Place was neat and tidy.
Peaceful, blissful, beautiful. With the roar of the sea on your doorstep, what more could you want!
Had a good rest!
Comfortable, clean unit with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Close to the beach and within walking distance from restaurants.
Quiet break from a busy life. You sit in bed and look straight at the sea, too beautiful. Beautiful small and quiet town.
Had a fantastic breakaway in the ground unit on the side. Had everything we needed in the unit and we woke up to a beautiful view of the ocean each morning. Jax was great at communicating and we were central enough to walk everywhere. Even the waterfront was only a 15-minute walk away.
A good place to sit and watch the world go by, beautiful beach view too. Will come again.
We stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed our stay greatly. The section of the house allocated to us (one of 2) was excellent, well-appointed, and as "clean as a pin". Highly recommended.
D.V. Engelhijs is one of the most beautiful, perfectly located units we have ever stayed in. The unit's decor is elegant/beautiful, and you have everything you need to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. It is a self-catering unit with everything you will need. Good location, across the road you are at the beach, there is also an incredibly nice restaurant, Die Voorstrandt Restaurant, opposite the unit, delicious food and atmosphere. We will definitely visit there again and recommend it.
We had a lovely stay at D. V. Engelhijs.
Bathroom urgently needs cleaning and fixing.
If nice, peddling is tricky. Short umbrella please for sun at braai. Other than that, delicious.
Unit was very neat and the photos are exactly as the unit looked.
My husband and I were at D. V. Engelhijs for the 2nd time during 2022. Everything we needed was available. Place was very neat, safe and right across from the beach. I would go there again anytime peaceful and relaxing place. I will D.V. Recommended Engelhijs to any person. Thank you very much Jackie. Friendly greeting. Marilyn Hendricks.
This was a perfect little spot for a week of work in the Vredenburg area. Lovely accommodation, friendly and helpful host, great location. I had such a lovely time.
Very calm. Very peaceful. Enjoy the tranquility by the sea. Absolute freedom.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, with one of the best meals we had at the Noisy Oyster.
The stay was very pleasant, but it would help if you stay for more than 3 nights to change the towels. We had a pleasant time. However, the en suite bedrooms are very nice. I think our expectation was that it should be more spacious.
Highly recommend this place for a couple just wanting to have a getaway. The unit is located right on the beach front and has amazing views. The unit was beautifully decorated and neat.
Neat stylish place to stay with excellent location. Thanks to D.V. Engelhijs enjoyed our visit very much. Thank you very much.
Will come back again and want to stay in the same place.
Close to delicious restaurants, beautiful sea view.
Beautiful place with a breathtaking view. Tastefully furnished with a well equipped kitchen. Really special! We'll see you again next year!
Will be back, it is lovely.
Very classy and stylish place equipped with everything you need. Location is right across from the beach. Just a few steps to the beach. Had a great time and will definitely return and recommend.
What a beautiful place. The decor speaks of quality and style. The location is excellent with a full sea view. We will definitely come again. 10/10 Jax!
The place is big enough. Very cute and neat place. Practical for small children or teenagers. Jax was helpful and friendly.
The unit is perfectly located and is very neat and comfortable. Facilities are good and clean. Truly a place to rest.
Have a great time and definitely come back next year.
Accommodation was beautiful on the beach. The owner was very friendly. The view of the beach stunning. If peace and quiet is what you looking for this is the perfect place to go to.
The biggest problem is the people were good peddlers and they stand and watch you in your bed from the street and refuse to walk if you tell them no you are not interested. They will stand there around your car or by the wall and watch you all day long even when you are sleeping in bed. Don't feel safe like that.
Great position and comfortable accommodation.
Thank you very much, it was a lovely stay, I really wanted to stay longer. Everything was tidy with the most beautiful, genuine, wooden furniture and the weather was wonderful.
Lovely, furnished apartment a stone's throw from the sea. Very comfortable and spacious rooms and bathrooms. As indicated, it is just behind the Voorstrand Restaurant so there is quite a lot of movement from staff, customers and street vendors throughout the day. But you won't just get closer to the sea.
Lovely accommodation. Perfect for us 2.
The biggest bonus is that you lie on the bed and look out at the sea. Was really worth it.
Everything was good, shower was dirty and clogged and wouldn't drain. Other than that, everything was great. Would love to come again.
We enjoyed our stay, the position of the cottage is excellent, it is quiet and peaceful. When we had a problem with the electricity, due to loadshedding, it was sorted immediately, thank you Vanessa. A little disappointed that there was no servicing in the cottage over the 4 days, not even to empty the bins, otherwise no complaints.
The location and view are perfect. Area is peaceful and everything you need is close and affordable.
D.V. Engelhijs was by far the most expensive accommodation we had on our West Coast tour. The place is small, but has everything one needs, and our stay was comfortable.
Indoor fireplace/braai out of order and the wind sometimes came in past the hanging cupboard in front of the hole which was uncomfortable for ladies.
The unit we stayed in is ideal for a couple. Hostess made sure we were aware of the load shedding schedule. The little problems that there were were sorted out immediately.
Bathroom is very small. Safety is certainly a source of concern. Braai area is across the unit next to bathrooms/toilet. We chose not to use the facilities.
Only a couple of things that would need improvement. The sponge to clean the dishes was really worn out and could have been replaced prior to the guest arriving.
We felt uncomfortable about the bunch of boys who constantly wanted to sell us their shells and sat in front of the house all day (because the restaurant is opposite and lots of visitors come to it).
Unfriendly reception by host. She apologised afterwards which we accepted.
Too bad the towels weren't at least replaced every day.
For the next incident and "cherry on the cake" the owner apologized and reimbursed us for one night's stay, which we really appreciate - about 20:20 the last night all wall plugs kicked out and the owner was unreachable. It turned out the next morning after many messages and calls since the night before that she was gone and left a key with someone just in case, but neglected to let us know. Stay was disappointing. Shower was clogged the first morning, luckily my husband was able to open it. Water pressure weak. Two used soaps (no!) in the soap tray at the bottom of useless "shower caddy" had to put shampoo and shower soap on the floor (which doesn't look like waffles). A hook or two in the bathroom would be welcome. Toilet seat loose. Top sheet stained. Do not leave carpet clean. Freezer part of fridge needs defrosting and cleaning and handles of fridge doors were dirty, wiped clean before use. Outside hangout area is right in front of unit next door's bathroom windows, where people were for the first two days. Street vendors really annoying.
Very satisfied amazing experience.
Unit is beautiful with very nice furniture and accessories. Very beautiful view. Very good and friendly service.
Beautiful, stylish unit, just across the road from the sea. The Voorstrand Restaurant is just diagonally across the road, which is very convenient. Everything we needed was there. The kitchenette is well equipped. Although the unit is actually very small, the furniture and its arrangement gives a sense of space. We had a wonderful stay, and will definitely want to go and rest there again!
The beach unit was incredibly nice, nicely equipped with everything you need, beautiful view of the sea and very tidy.
The unit is tastefully decorated with beautiful oil paintings throughout. The kitchen has more than enough crockery and glasses - I was impressed with the good quality pots and pans, and was able to make nice food. We had a delicious barbecue also with a lovely sea view. This unit has absolutely everything needed for self catering. There are white bed linens and everything is nice and clean. Our hostess is friendly and went out of her way to make our holiday plans work.
There can be more containers to store leftovers.
Beautiful place that is centrally located. Tastefully furnished. Even WiFi is available. Was lovely to visit here and will definitely come again. Note: the taps' hot and cold water have been swapped.
Location is excellent. Customer service is great and value for money.
Beautiful place. Had a good time and walked on the beach. Nice clean place and Jackie very friendly and helpful.
D.V. Engelhijs is very neatly furnished and makes you feel at home in no time. The sea is just a stone's throw away.
Everything we needed was there - fantastic location - we could walk where we wanted to be - lovely!
Clean, luxurious, safe, so to speak on the beach. The welcome was simply nice and comfortable. The barbecue works well and fresh cod just tastes better when you are by the sea. I can recommend this place blindly. Paternoster and DV Engelhijs will see us again for sure. What a nice place to spend the weekend. The sunsets deserve extra mention, incredibly beautiful.
The accommodation was clean and tidy and made our arrival so special. The town of Paternoster is beautiful and the view was breathtaking. The restaurant was so close. I recommend it to anyone. But thanks for that kindness of the owners of Engelhijs. You will make us support you again. Thank you very much for going out of your way, only through your humanity and kindness will we visit Paternoster again.
Beautifully furnished and clean - has everything you could possibly need and Jaki is very helpful!
Beautiful sea view, just over the road then you are on the beach. Nice and quiet and safe. Very friendly service.
It couldn't have been better. It's biggest asset is its positioning right on the beach, near the restaurants, and being so well appointed. We would go there again at the drop of a hat!
What an incredible place to relax and unwind. The beach at your doorstep and a restaurant across the street (not noisy at all). The amenities of the village is a short drive or walk away. Everything was perfect and we had a wonderful, enjoyable stay. The unit was open plan, very much like a studio apartment, but nicer because of the lovely patio with braai, where we relaxed most of the time. It was safe and comfortable for 2 people. Tastefully furnished and decorated. Absolutely sublime.
Very nice.
The house is on the beach, the house itself is very tastefully furnished, very clean and tidy. We had a great stay!
Wonderful stay, and lovely accommodation. Close to beach. The only negatives are the WiFi is not great, and directly opposite Voorstrand Restaurant which blocks the view and gets quite busy.
See stars.
All that was a disturbance were the child peddlers and beggars in the street.
Heerlike plek met baie goeie ligging, smaakvol gemeubileer en alles wat nodig is om gemaklik te kuier.
Will D.V. Engelhijs highly recommended. Centrally located across from restaurant.
Neat house, beautiful furniture, nice and close to the beach. We had a great time.
The unit is amazingly well kept and neat. Very well equipped. We really enjoyed our stay. Close to the beach and restaurants. Quiet little town which makes it perfect for a relaxing getaway. Great communication from the host. Would highly recommended.
The only problem is when the other guests make a fire we had to close the room and bathroom windows. This causes the place to be very hot, a standing fan would have helped a lot. Very pleasant stay, will use it again.
All that was a problem was the water in the showers. It runs very slowly and the flow is weak. It takes a long time to e.g. wash hair and rinse off conditioner. It will also help if the front door has a security gate on it. Then you can leave the door open without fear of someone slipping and stealing (or worse).
Due to Covid we were more limited in our unit than we expected. The unit therefore felt smaller due to all the time we had to spend in it. And the sink is very small, and only 1, so difficult to wash dishes. Under normal circumstances this would not have hindered.
View of the sea with Voorstrandt Restaurant just opposite is a big bonus. We also received a warm and friendly welcome from Jax and would recommend the place wholeheartedly!
Beautiful single room accommodation directly opposite Voorstrandt Restaurant. View of the beach and sea from the bed. Well appointed to accommodate 2 persons. Decor carefully chosen to ensure a peaceful stay.
All negatives are that there wasn't enough toilet paper and the dishwasher didn't have salt in it - it had a smell.
We were in Paternoster for a few days and DV Engelhijs is located on the beach so to speak. We really enjoyed it in the West Coast village and will definitely come back and use DV Engelhijs again.
Unit was perfect for us, is beautiful and was very tidy.
It was nice to wake up to a beautiful sea view. Will definitely stay here again.
It's the ideal place for a quick getaway. Close to the sea and restaurants.
The Engelhijs needs a lot of love and attention, as well as a good cleaning session.
This studio unit is well situated on the beachfront with fantastic views. It is stylish and comfortable. It has a great outdoor space with a built-in braai. Highly recommended!
The unit is very tasteful and has everything needed. The view of the stand is breathtakingly beautiful. We had a wonderful rest!
We enjoyed a relaxing stay in this lovely apartment. The position is perfect for long walks on the beach and the apartment is compact, functional and tastefully decorated. Thanks Jax.
My daughter and I had a wonderful 2 night stay at D.V. Engelhijs. The apartment was clean and spacious with beautiful ocean views, perfect for 2 guests. Luxurious linen and towels provided. Lovely patio with built in barbecue, table and chairs with cushions for extra comfort, perfect for sundowners! Directly across from the main Paternoster beach with safe off-street parking, you really couldn't get closer to the ocean! Thank you Jax, we will be back!
Grill with a view, across the street from the beach and spacious with everything you need.
We spent 3 comfortable nights at D.V. Engelhijs. The compact open-plan beach unit (there are two other units with separate sleeping facilities also available) in which we stayed (kitchen/sleep/sitting) is very neat with beautiful decor. The en suite bathroom with a shower is small but comfortable. The barbecue patio with a view of the sea is private enough to enjoy your morning coffee outside. You are a stone's throw from the beach and if you don't feel like going far for dinner, Voorstrandt Restaurant is just across the street. Jax, our hostess was very friendly and went out of her way to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. We definitely recommend this unit.
Truly amazing. Thanks.
A great place by the sea! I mean on the beach.
D.V. Engelhijs' location is perfect. We were very well received. You can walk everywhere you want to go and the restaurant which is right across the road is also very convenient. We could go for a nice walk along the sea. Would recommend people to vacation there anytime.
The place is just very small with really no space. It's actually a bachelors apartment because your bedroom, living room and kitchen are all in one, so it's very small for a long vacation for 2 people. Perhaps it should be advertised as such. You must also place your bags on floor space. There is no laundry line, I see the laundry rack under the table where the TV is. There is no space if you want to hang something in the evening. You can't sit it outside and drive, the locals and children are busy all day in the street selling shell arrangements, fish and lobster. We were warned that we had to be careful and lock everything up. Both units' toilet windows are right on your braai area, which was not very nice. But the place is very neat.
The unit is very nicely furnished, neat and clean. The location is fantastic! You can just walk across the street and you are on the beach. Our two-year-old son was welcomed with open arms and it is very difficult to find places that accommodate children and for that we are very grateful.
The apartment was well furnished, clean, with amazing sea views from the front porch. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. Voorstrandt Restaurant is on the opposite side of the road. Highly recommended.
Maybe just TV mounted on wall, couch obstructing sight from bed. As well as coaster to put drinks on as we don't want to damage the furniture.
Chocoloteboks-nice place. Peaceful and sunset breathtaking! I'll be back soon!
We were warmly received and received excellent service. The units are very neat and clean.
The unit is very spacious and well equipped. The best is the location.
The location of the place is ideal, near restaurants, beach and great for walks. Unit were clean, comfortable and well presented. Enjoyed the stay tremendously.
Very nice place, 100 meters from sea and 50 meters from Voorstrandt Restaurant.
Puik ligging, goed toegerus, skottelgoedwasser 'n wenner!
Great location, spotlessly clean, great stay. Well equipped, everything needed.
Neat accommodation, good value for money. The view is beautiful and you are close to the beach.
The only thing that bothered us was the fact that the kettle was dirty and the shower was blocked and not clean. Fantastic and a lovely weekend.
Very nice accommodation, perfect location and friendly people.
Lovely stay - only negative was electricity but it was Eskom. Place is really beautiful. Would recommend to people looking for a break.
Many thanks to the lovely hostess Jackie and her husband. Your place is cute and we really enjoyed our time there. Stylish and elegant but also so practical. Full DStv package with flat screen TV is a big bonus. It's just a few meters across from the beach. De See Kat restaurant belongs to the couple. I must say their sushi and oysters were fresh and of good quality. We enjoyed the meal. They provided good service at the restaurant, as well as house D.V. Engelhijs! Both places have a good view of the beach/sea. Would love to visit again, for a nice getaway. We also supported the local children with their arts and crafts that they make from seashells, etc. to earn something. It's understandable for a remote fishing village, where work is scarce. Place and location is well located in Paternoster! Thank you guys.
The accommodation was fantastic, but unfortunately the weather didn't play along.
You can't get any closer to the sea! Accommodation offers everything you need for a self-catering weekend, but also close to good restaurants for a dining out treat.
A bit more expensive than other accommodation but worth it based on the location, upmarket furnishings and comfort.
It's a comfortable spacious room. Tidy. Walking distance to many restaurants. Long beach to walk on.
It was a lovely, neat place. Also quite private.
My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at this accommodation. The unit's furniture and atmosphere are of the highest quality and have everything to make your weekend unforgettable. Porch overlooking the sea, television, comfortable bed and sofas, beautiful paintings and comfortable bed and bedding. We will definitely go there again for a nice break.
We will definitely stay at D.V. again. Engelhijs goes home. The apartment is very conveniently located, beautifully located and super central. The sleeping facilities were the best we have ever experienced and very comfortable.
The location is perfect, right across from the beach and the restaurant. Will definitely come back again,
We had a very nice and relaxing stay. It is walking distance from all the attractions.
Fantastic view, friendly welcome, lovely stay!
This is a beautiful guest house with everything you could possibly need for your holiday. The finish and furniture are very luxurious, the verandas are lovely to visit with beautiful views over the bay and everything is literally within walking distance.
Beautiful, comfortably furnished home that fits perfectly with the wonderful surroundings. Paternoster itself is like heaven on earth and this residence perfected our experience.
Thank you very much for the privilege of staying in this stunning unit! Most beautiful place that is very tastefully furnished, as well as the most beautiful paintings imaginable! Neat and clean and a nice view of the sea! We had a great time here!
The house is beautifully decorated and perfect for 2 couples. The restaurant across the road is a bonus!
Location and premises is fantastic. Only problem was the strong cigarette smell in the room.
We would 110% recommend it. Everything very tasteful and lovely home atmosphere. Very neat and well furnished. Host and wife very pleasant people. Will definitely stay there again.
We felt right at home. The most beautiful works of art, comfortable sofas, lovely chats around the table, good sleep and delicious food right across the road. We will definitely come back to the beautiful house soon.
Quiet accommodation right on the beach, the unit has everything you need for self-catering accommodation and there are also braai facilities. We had a great stay!
Perfectly located opposite the Voorstrand restaurant, with a nice view of the beach. In Jacki and Eddie you couldn't ask for better hostess and host. Definitely try their De See Kat restaurant. The unit we had was smaller than we expected, but was good enough for a short visit/a weekend. The fact that there is full DStv at least helped. A few cosmetic things: no dish soap, very small bath towels, not enough toilet paper. Was nevertheless a very nice visit.
Road directions very good and the reception very hospitable. Room very neat and all necessities available. Lovely to fall asleep to the sea and wake up again. Very centrally located and everything within walking distance. Definitely a place I would recommend and visit again to experience total peace of mind and peace. Their restaurant, Die Seekat, is undoubtedly worth a visit for a delicious meal.
I would stay with D.V again anytime. Engelhijs goes home. The view is fantastic.
The unit unfortunately feels squeezed between the main building and the house next door. However, the unit is very well equipped with all equipment. Unfortunately, the braai is built too close to the unit which causes the smoke and ash to blow into the unit. There was a banging noise above the unit which the owner could not sort out and was terribly annoying throughout the night. We packed up 2 days earlier and went looking for another place to continue our vacation.
Rooster was baie vuil kon nie op hom braai nie. Televisie was 2 dae stukkend. 7 dae dieselfde handoeke in die nat Kaap. Geen skoonmaakdiens Asblik was vir 7 dae nie skoongemaak of vloer was nie gevee. Vloer kan doen met topping net sement.
Our stay at D.V.Engelhijs was pure pampering! The unit is very tastefully furnished and also well equipped. Everything is very neat. The location is ideal with only the street separating the beach. Sea view from the bed! What more can one ask for. We are also privileged to enjoy a delicious midday meal at the owners' restaurant, De Seekat. Everything is top notch and we will definitely visit again.
You will see us again soon.
The accommodation is larger as shown on the website. It was very clean and neat with a stunning view over the beach and ocean.
We had a great stay and would love to use the place again if we move towards Paternoster. Neat, well located but still quiet and alone.
Beautiful place to stay conveniently located and close to the sea and places to eat. Really recommend it.
Very neat and beautiful inside the apartment. Full DStv was great when the weather didn't cooperate. Very close to everything so it is not even necessary to drive somewhere in the village. Friendly owners and very helpful.
Had such a good time. Great ocean view and a restaurant next to the beach across the road. Unit had everything you need and is nice and neat. Great weekend.
