133 guests' feedbackIt was a pleasure to visit a clean and tidy apartment. The place is tastefully and comfortably furnished, lacked nothing - perfect.
Very neat. Hostess very friendly. Will definitely stay there again.
Not for 2 persons. Shower head did not work. Handle in the shower was very unfortunate. No handle in the shower. Couch is too low to watch TV.
We had a wonderful stay and everything we needed was there. Hostess was very helpful and friendly.
It was amazing; the location and the space were perfect. Exactly what we needed for our little holiday.
Very nice, no complaints, just compliments. Thank you.
Very nice stay, clean, tidy and very friendly service.
Very nice stay. Will definitely recommend to others.
Very nice stay. We mainly just slept there. The 09:00 check out was a bit early, but we made it.
Very nice and peaceful (for the soul), slept well, enjoyed the restaurants' food, but best of all, the sea and the weather were top notch. We will be there again just kicking.
Great affordable accommodation close to everything.
Good value for money.
We had a nice stay.
Very nice stay here. Neat, private and good value for money. Apartment has everything you need. The hostess was very friendly.
I will definitely stay at this place again. It's close to the beach, very neat and private.
Nicest place to stay. Would stay there again anytime.
We had such a nice stay once again. This is a place I would happily recommend. Help where needed. I will definitely visit again.
We had a lovely time. Will definitely come again, everything was convenient.
Tidy. Clean. Close to the beach and close to the Hartenbos Waterfront via the beach. We stayed 4 nights and would have loved to just meet and greet the owners.
Absolute winner.
Overall our stay was lovely. The accommodation was charming and well maintained. However, the bed was quite uncomfortable due to a hard mattress, which affected our quality of sleep. We hope this feedback will help improve future stays.
We had a very nice stay. The unit is very comfortable and well equipped.
This is the perfect place to stay when travelling in Hartenbos. There is everything you need on hand. I would suggest changing the bed and bedding as it is a really old, hard bed and the bedding has been used for many years; it had stains on it.
It was very nice to stay there. I would like to stay longer next time.
Would just like to make a recommendation. I would like to see a bible and maybe 2 story books in the apartment. Furthermore, we had a great time with affordable accommodation, cleanliness and a safe environment.
Neat, convenient, safe.
Our unit was really very neat and secure. It was completely private. I could always contact Hannetjie on WhatsApp if I wanted to ask something.
Location is very central to move in any direction. Walking distance to beach. Business center also nearby. Place offers everything needed for 2 people with safe, private parking and also braai facilities. Would definitely recommend to stay.
We really enjoyed our stay, the unit had everything we needed. I would recommend the unit to anyone looking for an affordable unit.
Very calm. Safe, neat and clean.
Clean, very tidy and private.
Was very nice to be able to stay in a clean and tidy place. Very safe too.
Will definitely use the accommodation again.
Accommodation was great just like in photos.
Our vehicle was parked behind locked gates and the apartment also has burglar bars, so felt safe.
The apartment is perfectly and fully furnished with everything you need. Very nice place to live.
It was exactly what we wanted. Quiet, central, safe and convenient.
Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. I would not mind staying there again. Wi-Fi was even still on during loadshedding.
Would be nice if welcome coffee would be present in the room.
The location and neighborhood give a sense of safety. Apartment is privately located and within reach of shops etc.
We were left in peace and saw the hostess only 1 time upon arrival. The place needs a decent deep clean. I was bitten by a spider 2 times and my husband 1 time. The bed is horrible. The bed base is broken and hanging on the floor. The mattress' wires and springs dig into your body. The bed will need to be replaced before the next guest. Otherwise everything is nice and in order. If we could sleep better I would have given 5 stars, but it was not pleasant to lie down at all.
Absolutely love Hartenbos. Very friendly people where ever we went, people greet. We will definitely be back in November 2023.
The place is conveniently close to the beach and very tidy.
This was a place so close to our hearts. Beautifully furnished. Clean, neat. Parking space spacious and convenient. Brilliant.
Quiet surroundings with secure parking. Felt like a home away from home.
He was impressed with cleanliness and it was well furnished, as well as that they made special provision that he could only check in late in the evening. He was busy with a congress from early in the morning until late at night. Quiet environment.
Very comfortable, comfortable bed, friendly service, equipped kitchen! One cannot ask for more! We will stay there again.
Very nice and peaceful. Feels safe and very private even though it's in someone's backyard. Tannie was friendly and would stay there again any day. Not far from the sea and a nice area to stay in because it is also close to the big shopping center in Hartenbos.
Will go again for sure. We enjoyed it very much. Have a 2 month old baby, and everything was comfortable for the baby too. Thank you very much.
Accommodation is well appointed in a peaceful setting close to the beach and shops.
Value for your money. What you see is what you get! Hospitality is great!
The host was so kind and friendly and even accommodated me after the check-in times. She made our stay so comfortable.
We had a great stay and enjoyed our holiday. The apartment is fully equipped and especially in the kitchen there is nothing missing. Many built-in cupboards help a lot to give everything a place as the apartment is not large. I can really recommend the place. Thank you very much.
I would use the accommodation again anytime! The owner is very friendly and accommodating, looking forward to staying here again in the future.
See stars.
Fantastic. Very, very nice.
Will book again, private, clean, comfy bed.
This is the right place for a quick getaway.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and location. Grateful for the opportunity.
Everything was there. Need some coffee, tea and milk, clean towels and sugar.
What a pleasure to be able to walk into such a place. Clean and tidy. Will definitely use the place again.
Lovely stay, safe and close to everything. Plekkie has everything one needs. Ideal for a getaway. Would definitely recommend, and feel free to stay there again.
Enjoyed it very much in the calm, carefree atmosphere. Apartment was comfortable, fully equipped and everything was neat and clean.
Everything I needed was there.
Exactly what we needed. Will stay there again and again. When we are on our way to occupy accommodation that we have not yet used, there are always a lot of question marks that dance around in the back of our heads. We were pleasantly surprised. We found the place clean and tidy. It is centrally located, which suited us who love ziplining like a glove. All this at a reasonable rate. Will definitely stay there again.
Was a very peaceful and quiet area. Would recommend anytime.
Very well located, safe, quiet and peaceful. Really enjoyed the week. Would recommend anytime.
The apartment is very neat, clean and well-equipped.
Lovely and peaceful place.
Very well equipped, very tidy. Quiet, peaceful environment, walking distance from the beach.
Thank you for hospitality.
Good equipped kitchen for this low price range of accommodation. Ample space in the cupboards for a week's luggage. The location of the apartment on the plot is optimal to ensure privacy. Fast internet and full DStv, but the TV's location is impractical for sitting and watching.
Neat and affordable place for a getaway!
Nice stay. Sink faucet in the bathroom needs fixing.
I would consider coming to this place again in the future. We had a great time with my family. The place is beautiful and safe in a quiet neighborhood.
The owners of the accommodation avoided us so much that we didn't even know what they looked like, nor did they ask if everything was alright. Furthermore, there are two shower heads and only one works and is connected to a flexible pipe and heel too low on the wall which makes showering very uncomfortable for us. There are three air extraction fans that make noise and sleep uncomfortable
The place to stay just needs to get a small safe.
Didn't meet the hostess at all for the entire period of the stay of the 7 days we were there. The place is cramped and very cold. The bladder warmer didn't help much. If it wasn't for comments from previous guests I wouldn't have known how to route the water from the hand shower to the overhead shower either. Time to go out is 9 o'clock in the morning, but the maid came to collect the bed linen at half past nine.
Nice quiet environment and wonderful to rest. Close to all amenities, things to do and see. If the opportunity arises we will definitely go again.
We really enjoyed our visit. I also had to work from the computer one day. The internet is nice and fast so I could do my work without interruptions. Private entrance, and private, secure parking for the car. Very close to the walkway along Hartenbos beach. Modern kitchen and cupboards. Will definitely visit again.
Will definitely see you again.
It was safe, cosy and has everything you could need. It was great!
The place is private with secure parking for 1 car. There is everything in the place, just bring yourself and your lunch. Very neat place, thank you very much.
Hostess also very friendly and helpful.
Very neat, safe and quiet.
Booking was easy. The place met all our requirements as a couple.
Tasteful, neat, practical with carport, barbecue facilities, full DSTV and secure parking behind locked gates. Highly recommend.
Knus woonstelletjie vir 'n vinnige, bekostigbare wegbreek.
The place is very neat and everything is in good condition. One can see that the owner makes a lot of effort to satisfy visitors. The garden is truly a feast for the eyes, and the surroundings are very peaceful and safe.
Very clean and tidy. Very nice stay. Secure parking area. However, there are many points that can be improved. There is a cat that simply makes itself at night - my fiance is allergic to cats so it was a nightmare. Secondly, the bedding as well as the curtains are very old fashioned (outdated) please replace them. also the bed mattress, also feels like it's finished. Third, the big shower head doesn't work, so very uncomfortable to hold and wash with a small shower faucet all the time, wastes a lot of time. I really hope that these issues will be addressed.
No customer service is received from hostess/owner. We went home for 13 nights and until we left we had no contact with owner. Braai facilities are advertised but the braai, chairs and table are part of the house and are not private at all and we did not know if we were allowed to use them. So we felt very out of place. We suggest that a list with the necessary information and rules be made available to the guests.
Convenient, neat and nice shaded parking. Everything you need for a peaceful visit. The beautiful garden is a bonus.
See stars.
We were not received at all or explained where is what in the unit, the owner was not visible at all for the entire period of our 4 night visit.
The place was immaculate. Enough space for 2 people. Close enough to all attractions and very easy to find. We felt right at home and felt very safe while we were there. Thank you for making our first booking experience a memorable and easy one!
Die plekkie was cosy, netjies en pragtig mooi skoon en netjies. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel en sal definitief weer daar bly in die toekoms.
Thank you very much for a beautiful, private and clean apartment. Nothing was missing and it was very safe to be able to park our car behind gates. We will definitely visit again.
Just what we wanted. Lovely, clean, tidy little apartment with all amenities, even DStv. Quiet, neat environment. Parking on clean, paved area, behind high gates, close to apartment. Ideal for two people. Can recommend the apartment with confidence.
It was very nice to stay in such a neat and clean apartment. Slept well after a refreshing shower. Highly recommended and will go back. Thank you.
The apartment is very neat and everything you need is available. Very safe and in a quiet area and not far from Hartenbos main beach. Would only recommend a shade net canopy for the vehicle. Had a great stay and would definitely recommend it. Thank you very much.
Very clean and tidy. There was everything needed in apartment. Covered parking and secure behind gates.
We had a great stay, everything needed, good location. Will definitely use the place again, can highly recommend.
We enjoyed the stay at Hartenbos Self-catering Holiday Home very much! It was very neat and clean and had everything we needed. The place is child friendly and the WiFi is of course always a bonus. We look forward to booking this place again next year.
May be similar places, but definitely not better!
Our stay was very pleasant. The place is well equipped. Bed sleeps incredibly nice. No back issues when you get up. And what a lovely shower. Car also safe behind gates. Can certainly recommend the place. Small walk from cottage to Hartenbos beach walk, as well as the small centre.
Enjoyed our 10 days at the apartment. Was peaceful and quiet close to the house. Will make use of it again if we must go again.
Only problem is contact person not answering phone. We ended up with a key that wouldn't unlock the security door and later had to go find someone. Fortunately, the owner just came home and was able to help us. Street names on the website were misspelled and we had quite a bit of trouble finding the place as a result.
When we choose self-catering, we're looking privacy and that's what we got. Very neat and clean and comfortable. Will book again if necessary to sleep in the area.
We really had a great time in Hartenbos, close to everything. Place was very tidy.
The accommodation as such was of good quality. It's just awfully cold in the place and I would recommend that the owner invest in some mats for the bedroom. Was also no face to face contact with owner although contact via phone. Furthermore, accommodation was very good.
The place is very neat, everything you need is there. We struggled a little with the bed, it's big, but it's also hard. Both my wife and I slept awkwardly. It would also be nice if there was just a little shade for the car.
No contact with owner or responsible person, contact was on our side per cell, while the owners stayed on the premises.
The apartment is very neat and well furnished. Nice close to the beach and perfect for a couple.
Cute little neat house!
This is one of those gems. Everything was just perfect. This is one of the best (if not the best) sleepovers we have ever had. Would definitely stay there again.
I would definitely recommend Hartenbos Self-catering Holiday Home for the quiet and lovely environment. Owners are very helpful and nice will surely go there again. Peace and quietness is what you will find there.
The stay was very convenient with regard to location and size and was good value for money.
I would very much like to recommend it, there is secure parking for your car, free WiFi and a full package of DStv. Definitely value for money, the room is big and everything is tidy, feel free to book yourself in.
Had a wonderful stay in the cottage, will definitely use the accommodation again.
My partner and I stayed in Hartenbos Self-catering Holiday Home for two nights and will definitely use them again. The unit itself is very modern with plenty of space. We were warmly received and our hostess was very helpful. The place is well located, very well equipped, and is a short drive to Mossel Bay.
Will just put another mattress on the bed, has already been laid.
It was very delicious and of a high quality. I would recommend it to anyone.
A new bed will complement the stay even more.
Coffee, sugar, towels and dish cloth for kitchen short. Happily always ride 1st together. Hostess never seen due to her working hours. Very neat, clean place. Love the decor. Will stay there again.
We had a great stay, but we definitely need a new bed. He has already been laid and did not sleep well at all.
The house is very safe.
The place is nice, modern, but lacks a good bed. The hostess saw us for the first time on the third day after we called her three times. We felt she could pay a little more attention to her guests.
Was right for our need.
The owner was in contact, wanted to know if everything was still ok.
Very neat place. Full DStv and wonderful WiFi. Mattress needs to be replaced and bedding as well. Besides this it is a very nice place. Very helpful hostess.
Directions hard to follow. No towels. Wooden access gate needs repair and is extremely difficult to open and close.
The TV sits in an awkward place with uncomfortable seats. 2 persons cannot watch TV in that small space. We suggest they move the TV to the room. One cannot watch 2 TV in the living room/kitchen.
Generally clean, but the bedding is very poor and old. Pillows a nightmare. Access gate is very difficult to open and close.
