60 guests' feedbackWas very nice. Close to many restaurants and attractions. Clean and tidy. All that one needs. Host friendly and professional.
Lovely, private, affordable, beautiful.
Comfortable accommodation within walking distance of the beach.
Thank you, it was just what I needed.
We were received very kindly and really enjoyed our time there. Safe environment and close to shopping centers etc.
Delightful, peaceful, restful. Equipped with everything you need.
Very nice and close to the sea and small grocery store for all the usual necessities.
We had such a tranquil experience! Starting with a warm welcome from the owner and a quick run down of the place, the flat itself was clean, spacious and had all the basic necessities one needs. Such a lekker surprise opening the fridge to find a refreshment and a bottle of milk (I think my first word was "!"). The light that travels through the room, including the sea breeze, was much to be desired. As explorers, we enjoyed taking a short walk to the beach and spending lots of time there, to come back and be able to braai peacefully and quite literally, 'Listen to the Waves'. 100% coming back!
Clean, friendly host, quiet and a good location to have as a base for your holiday in Cape Town.
Very nice stay. Can't decide which takes first place: the electric blanket against the cold, DSTV Premium to be able to enjoy Olympic Games or the nut coffee for the coffee snob!
Unit was well appointed, neat and very clean. Very friendly welcome and ensured that buckets of water and 5l of drinking water were available when there was a problem (of short duration) with the municipality's supply.
At Listen to the Waves, you can actually hear the waves. Not only hear, but also through the neighbours' palm tree branches you see the pure white dune and waves. Mattress was fantastic! Owners changed towels and bed linen regularly. Very neat and clean.
We had a wonderful stay, just a pity the TV didn't work at all.
Sadly not. Should mention that it is more of an overnight stay for a travelling businessman. Arrived at 13:50, they refused to open the door, we left and came back, and once again it was difficult to get the owner. Being Italian, my husband speaks mainly English, the owner refused point blank to speak English, very wrong attitude for a guest house. I will admit though, everything was very clean, nice and updated, just reception was terrible. And the signs in the unit were very, dare I say, childish, stage 4 water restrictions? But the owner seemed to water his garden the entire 2 days we were there. And there was a terrible irritating noise outside both nights, the whole night, maybe from over the road, but so annoying that we never slept, sounds like a toilet running non-stop. This owner clearly only caters for Afrikaans-speaking elderly individuals. We aren't young at 60 but we certainly are not 80+. I didn't appreciate being told no noise between 8am and 10pm. No children and pets I can sort of still understand. And as for beach access at all, this should be mentioned when booking, everything has been built solidly closed from the houses on the beach, not even a simple little access point, not the owner's fault, but at least mention it. I will not be going back there, nor will I recommend it to anyone. Plus, don't put signs all over saying use power sparingly, rather close your doors and save all your power, everyone knows power is a luxury. If this is his miser type attitude, he is clearly in the wrong business.
Listen to the Waves is a very neat and peaceful place. Ideal if you are out all day seeing places and only return in the late afternoon. The ocean view made it easy to determine if it would be a good day for the beach. We had a great stay and the friendly reception and service was also very good. Thanks to the owners.
What a pleasure to stay at Listen to the Waves.
Thoroughly enjoyable. Unit very neat, clean and comfortable. Very well equipped. So quiet and peaceful. Only sound is that of the waves.
Will definitely recommend to family and friends.
Excellent value for money. Definitely recommend.
The place was exactly what my wife and I wanted on our first wedding night. We could come and go as we pleased. We could also walk to the sea, the sea was very close. The uncle who received us was very friendly and made no noise about our late arrival. It was quiet and private for a man and a woman. It was well directed and safe. There was DStv, the full package - sports and ales. There was no WiFi, but that wasn't a problem. But we could relax and listen to the sea. There was coffee and tea, sugar, salt, pepper, breakfast biscuits, soap, shower gel, two sweets and letters. There was a gas stove for Loadshedding and a hot plate for cooking and a kettle. Well, there wasn't an iron rod, but that wasn't a problem, because we were there to relax. There was everything we needed for our honeymoon. There were books to read to relax on the two couches that were there. Thank you, thank you for the hospitality.
Walks on beach. No traffic. Very safe area.
Well-equipped, very neat, clean accommodation in quiet surroundings at a very reasonable price. Close to everything. Would recommend place if you want to get away from hustle and bustle. Close enough to the sea. Can hear and see the sea and just drive a short distance and you are on the beach.
Nice view, close to the sea and shops, everything you need is there. Will definitely recommend to others and it's private. Neighborhood is very quiet and safe.
Ideal place - peaceful surroundings, beautiful beaches - everything we needed.
We had a lovely stay and had everything we needed.
Clean and tidy accommodation. Friendly reception. Unit nicely furnished and top quality. Thank you very much, website and Listen to the Waves.
Very neat, quiet and everything you need is there.
Location is ideal and it was an absolute feast.
Everything you need for a nice break. Definitely see you again when we are in the area.
Quiet environment with beautiful sea view. Thank you.
Wondelike, rustige, netjiese verblyf wat ek met plesier aanbeveel. Dankie Maryke en Oom Sakkie. Julle was wonderlik.
Very well equipped and the little things that were done extra made you feel at home. Everything was clean and tidy and there was nothing missing. A wonderful place where you can just relax and breathe again.
We really enjoyed our stay. Very neat and well equipped unit.
Quiet and peaceful. Place is very neat. Will visit again.
The unit is beautiful, comfortable and fully equipped with everything you need! Location is excellent and reception met expectations. Air conditioning and WiFi would have been welcome!
The hosts are really lovely people and went out of their way to make me welcome and to make my stay as comfortable as possible. Good location. Shops, laundromat and beach within a five minute walk. Safe neighbourhood.
Loadshedding and water interruption not fault of host. Close enough to beach to walk there. Walk to shop and club for food and eats. Drive to mall and restaurants acceptable too.
The accommodation is perfect and wouldn't want to change anything.
It was very peaceful and we needed the tranquility. We would go back anytime!
Very nice and clean house to sleep over.
Very comfortable place, with everything you need. Close to the beach and town. Definitely worth it for us and will definitely want to spend the night there again.
Very nice and comfortable.
Visit was very pleasant, just a pity the owners didn't come to say hello etc. not. The daughter, Maryka, she was very friendly and asked if we needed anything. The rest of the visit was pleasant.
Delicious please. Neat and clean accommodation and will definitely use it again.
Fantastic place. Clean, friendly. Always clean towels that are put out and clean bed linen. Would definitely go back again for a visit, just a shame it can't take 4 people, would have liked to have taken my kids along.
The apartment is comfortable and equipped with all crockery, microwave oven, fridge, DStv, Weber grill outside and conveniently located near the beach and shop.
The unit is comfortable and well equipped with a nice braai area. However, air conditioning would have been welcome. The off street parking mentioned in the advertisement is misleading as it is only on the sidewalk and not behind a gate.
Had a lovely stay in this safe, clean house. Would stay there again.
Listen to the Waves is a beautifully equipped place, very neat and clean. Well appointed with everything needed. Beautiful sea view and walking distance from sea.
Maryke and Sakkie were very helpful and nice. I am not sure if it was the mother who came and, without introducing herself, asked how many people we were. We explained that our kids and grandchildren from Atlantis came to greet us. We did not know at that stage that one of the rules was that no kids are allowed. She could have handled it in a better manner.
See stars.
Facility is comfortable and very neat. Reception met expectations. No problems encountered. Thank you.
Thanks so much for the wonderful accommodation, the neatness of the room and the friendly reception, also the bottle of bubbly.
Would have liked walking to the sea instead of driving. It is also far from Melkbos. Apart from that it was perfect.
Close enough to the sea to go for a walk, very private and safe. Very well appointed and has everything one needs. Thank you very much and will definitely go again.
The welcome and delicious blue sparkling drink was the start of a wonderful two days in a beautiful neat and stylish place. Excellently equipped. Quiet and private. Thank you very much again.
Especially neat and welcoming, safe neighbourhood and a beautiful view. Very helpful and friendly, chatty people. Can truly recommend.
The place is very neat. Great hospitality. Enjoyed the tranquility Friendly reception. Felt at home.
A lot of passion, effort and thoroughness were put into the renovation of this place. It's perfect for two people and had every necessity. It is close to the beach which is perfect for swimming. The owners are stunning people and spoilt us with changing the towels and linen regularly. It's an awesome place to go on holiday! We were very comfortable and it's tranquil. The place forms part of the main house but it is still very private. It was sad that we had to leave after such a lovely time there. Thank you for your hospitality and friendliness. I believe that you will have great success, your service is excellent! I highly recommend this place. It's neat and beautiful inside. We will definitely visit again! Keep up the good work!
The flat is very clean and neat. Owner goes to a lot of trouble to make her guests feel at home and to ensure that everyone is comfortable. Perhaps the description can just make it a bit clearer that it's a bachelors flat and not a house. Otherwise we had a good stay and will recommend it to anyone wanting to go to Melkbos for a little while.
