54 guests' feedbackNow this was value for money! Everything you need, whether for a quick sleepover, or a week to rest, is in the spacious unit. The kind and extremely helpful hostess made us feel at home. We will definitely visit there again.
A very pleasant stay with good bird watching but the southeaster was fierce.
Great stay! Fantastic place. Everything perfect and even better than advertised. Will definitely stay there again in the future!
Lovely location with a convenient mooring.
Lovely spot and the host was great.
What a little gem! Heron's Haven is the perfect venue for a quiet getaway or, as in our case, a one-night stopover. The host was wonderful and very accommodating.
What a lovely place with beautiful views and tranquility. Erna is a very friendly and welcoming host and made us feel wonderfully comfortable. Will definitely be back.
The place is clean and tidy. Erna went out of her way for us.
Well equipt and neat, having solar is a big plus. Erna made us feel very welcome, thank you.
A two bedroom and two bathroom unit under owner's house. Very well equipped with an outdoor barbecue. Secure parking. Friendly and helpful hostess. Really enjoyed my time there.
Very hospitable owner, neat place and for sure I will go again.
Perfect location on the water.
We can recommend this gem with the utmost confidence. Very well equipped, very safe, clean and tidy. Everything one needs for a wonderful visit and relaxation. Excellent stay where we could charge "batteries" for 2023. We were there for 3 weeks and enjoyed every minute! The owner, Erna, understands the art of being a hostess very well. She is friendly, very helpful and puts her guests above her own interest. She really goes the extra mile for her guests! There is really nothing we can complain about - everything was just perfect! Thank you very much Erna! Heron's Haven is tops!
Hi, it was very nice and safe and quiet too. Will definitely go again.
We had a wonderful time, relaxing. Quiet environment, safe and beautiful view.
Words cannot describe it. Incredible place. So quiet, neat and peaceful. The owner is an awesome person. Erna goes out of her way to make you feel at home. Will not consider any other place in the future.
Fantastic place. Everything and more that one needs. The hostess is very helpful. The view is fantastic.
It was very pleasant. The place is very neat. The hostess is friendly and she goes out of her way to make the stay as pleasant as possible. It really is "a home away from home" with all the perks of the beauty of the area. They have also upgraded so the place is even more beautiful than the photos.
Absolutely amazing. We were well welcomed and immediately felt at home. Will definitely go very often. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
The owner Erna was very helpful and kind, always checking if we were ok and need anything. It was a bit windy and cold so we were indoors most of the time when we were there. We shall definitley go back in the summer to enjoy some fishing and some relaxing outdoors. Overall I recommend Heron's Haven.
Owner, Erna Lehy is very hospitable and friendly. Her information book helps any guest to find his feet in the area and tells exactly about all the attractions in the area that you can visit. I would definitely recommend Heron's Haven to anyone looking to holiday on the West Coast, centrally located to drive to all the neighboring towns too.
Unit is equipped with everything you need and the most beautiful view. Thank you very much Erna for all the conversation and kindness. We will come again and definitely recommend Heron's Haven.
Nice and spacious, clean and well furnished and a hostess who will go out of her way to make the stay as comfortable as possible. The view of the river is something special and creates a nice holiday feeling. Will definitely stay there again.
The hostess was friendly, very helpful and went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The apartment was well furnished and everything was great.
Heron's Haven is highly recommended for a lovely break with a breathtaking view. Thank you Erna for your hospitality and kindness. We will definitely come again!
The unit is clean and tidy and has everything you need. Very nice against the water too.
It was clean, very tidy and very comfortable with the friendliest owner. Had nice chats. We certainly regretted that we were only there for one night but will definitely go there again. Also recommend everyone to go there. View is very beautiful. Felt private.
Very comfortable accommodation for 2 people with everything one needs, including an exceptional, friendly hostess. Future plans with a sheltered built-in braai will further improve the accommodation.
Beautiful view of the canal and Bergrivier. Calm and quiet with the waterfowl on your doorstep. Pricewise very nice. The bathroom is too small for the wife, but I had no problem. The WiFi was very weak, most of the time had no internet.
I would recommend it to all my friends.
Fantastic value for money and perfect location.
I enjoyed my stay, and with the hospitality of Erna, and welcome, how different. The unit was excellent, and with attention to detail, not often expected, hairdryer, Magneto standby light (for load shedding), shower gel etc., to name but a few. Will definitely book shortly and enjoy the West Coast as an undiscovered gem in the Western Cape.
Very nice owners who go out of their way to make you feel at home. Great location on the water with a wonderful view of the canal and Bergrivier. Very suitable for water sports such as kayaking.
We had a very pleasant overnight stay at Heron's Haven. The place is ideal for 2 people, although our adult son did not have any complaints about his night on the day bed in the living room. There is a nice view of the canal and Berg River, and very good bird life (the reason for our visit).
The owners are very hands on and friendly. Nothing is too much effort. For me, the only down side is the Weber braai, I would prefer to be able to make a wood fire.
Heel vriendelijk ontvangst, alles tip top in orde, leuke tips om streek te verkennen!
Our hostess was very friendly and she informed us very well about the area, where to go to see flowers, as well as the best places to eat.
Great stay and recommend it.
It was everything that was promised and more. Hospitable, neat, quality (lovely bed!), good, fully equipped. I'm definitely coming back. The owners are the cherry on the cake - beautiful people who make you feel at home but also give you your space.
This is the right place to stay for a couple who would like to watch the thousands of migrating birds who fly by in the mornings and evenings.
Can certainly recommend Herons Haven. Lovely clean, neat unit, secure parking, friendly premises, on the banks of Port Owen, will stay there overnight.
Excellent service and good value for money.
Excellent stay. Friendly owners.
Comfortable, neat place! Would love to stay longer!
Was very nice. Would go there again.
Erna is a star - very friendly and helpful. Place is big and neat. Next to the water.
The apartment is fully equipped. There is nothing I would like to add. The apartment is painfully neat and spacious and we really had a great time relaxing. We will go back there again soon.
Our host and hostess made us feel at home. The location is great. The unit was very clean. Will definitely make use of the accommodation again. Lovely stay.
The place's neatness is excellent and the location is beautiful. We'll definitely stay there again.
Heron's Haven was an awesome experience. We had warm welcome on arrival with sufficient information provided about the local sightseeing. The space is neat and tidy with all essentials required for cooking and dining. We enjoyed the tranquillity as well as the visits from the local birds and tortoises, with beautiful picturesque early mornings and evening sunsets. This is definitely a destination to unwind.
We were very kindly received by Erna and immediately felt at home. The house is beautifully situated overlooking the Marina. We would have appreciated it if it was mentioned that the accommodation is private, but it is part of the house where the owners stay, only the lower part is a holiday apartment. The parking of vehicles must also be discussed in advance with the owner as their vehicles and our vehicle are all parked in a row in the panhandle. The unit is beautiful and very neat. The sleeping facilities may have been suitable for 4 adults, but the bathroom was definitely not suitable for 4 adults. It is very small and cramped. This really needs to be taken into account when making reservations. There is no living area if more than 2 people have to stay there. I believe for 2 people it should work very well. However, we had a nice stay.
Clean and comfortable accommodation with some minor improvements recommended to hosts.
Well equipped accommodation that meets all expectations. Neat and beautiful view of the marina.
Good place to sleep over while one gets to know the area.
