86 guests' feedbackVery nice and very kind, friendly host.
Beautiful little place with a breathtaking view!
We stayed in the Dolphin unit. It was very clean, tidy and comfortable. The service was friendly and the hostess made us feel welcome when we stopped by. There is everything you need and secure parking.
We had a wonderful stay. Warmly received by the host, even got a pack of ice for free! The unit was clean, and the view lovely. We will visit again.
Beautiful, beautiful, clean and tidy accommodation with the most beautiful view on the beach! Will definitely visit again!
See stars.
Makarios is excellently located and has a beautiful view of the bay.
A lovely quiet setting right on the beach - wonderful - and beautiful luxury accommodation!
Amazing location, premises are ideally situated, cleanliness is excellent. Provided utilities are perfectly catered for.
The land lines do not work at all I could not get in touch with the manager. The room (See Horse) does not have a sea view, nor barbecue facilities. To pay R2100 and later find out the facility does not exist is absurd. I had to carry a Weber up to the place myself and was told I had to make sure I put it down again. The balcony is so small and dirty, you don't want to stand there. Makarios, not again.
Aunt Antoinette is amazing.
Very nice apartment with lovely location.
Very nice place. Come back soon.
The unit has everything we needed. We could host a braai and the proximity to the beach is just perfect.
Makarios is recommended. Guests will not regret it.
Parking space in front of this unit must be reserved for the guest staying in it. Parking space is used by the public and blocks sea view. Other than that, no complaints.
We had a great time and relaxed and went for a nice walk along the sea and enjoyed seafood at Duttons Cove Restaurant.
Wonderful place to stay with everything you need, right by the beach. Cleanliness and safety and service excellent. Would definitely stay there again - value for money.
Location is good, very neat. Everything you need at sea.
Nice quiet place, neat and clean. Stalls so close for a quick bite to eat, very good food and ice cream.
Delicious, luxurious accommodation on the beach at Herolds Bay. Unfortunately our room did not have a view of the sea, but otherwise it was absolutely perfect.
Smoking facility outside the building is something that can be considered.
Diens was uitstekend, baie vriendelik. Die dame het ons ook opgegradeer na 'n eenheid met 'n uitstekende uitsig oor die hele Heroldsbaai en die see. Baie dankie hiervoor! Eenheid was netjies, skoon, met al die nodige toebehore om nie te sukkel met enigiets nie. Sal Makarios on Sea vir seker aanbeveel!
Very nice stay! Friendly service and will definitely go again.
Had a great stay - would definitely recommend.
Would have liked a better sea view. Parking would have been nice too. The 2 single beds that were pushed together were inconvenient.
Very nice stay, especially the view, good service, the sleeping comfort is very comfortable. I would highly recommend the place.
We had a wonderful stay and visit at Makarios on Sea. The unit is very well appointed, fantastic location and the service was great. We will definitely stay there again!
You can't stay closer to the sea. The unit offers everything one could ask for. Beautiful and stylish. Antoinette and Louis are very hospitable. Thanks, it was a privilege for us to stay there.
Beautiful, neat place on the beach. People in the area are friendly. We were treated to the most beautiful sunset!
Friendly reception, daily cleaning service included in price, lovely sea view and well equipped unit.
As only Herolds Bay can deliver. Location is amazing. Makarios offers everything in living bodies, which only happens in your dreams.
Thank you very much for the awesome place on the beach. Could visit the entire Southern Cape from there. Very safe and very friendly people. Just take bread and milk with you.
Makarios on Sea is beautifully located and tidy. We had a very nice stay.
Fantastic accommodation with all you need and friendly staff! Just sorry we couldn't stay longer!
See stars.
Very modern, neat and clean. Everything there that is needed to have a good time.
The units are beautifully and stylishly furnished. All amenities at your disposal, even a dishwasher. We would like to stay longer to read through the wide range of available books. Makarios' location is absolutely indescribable and you can hear the waves so close you are to the sea.
Pleasant stay. Amazing location and view. All problem is parking which is in public parking and not on premises. Had to move my vehicle immediately according to owner. Although subsequent guests could park basically wherever they wanted. Our ID documents were immediately asked for and copies made. In no other place has this been asked. So I felt very uncomfortable upon arrival. I don't think I will book with Makarios again myself.
Cutest place with the most beautiful view! We enjoyed every moment.
We were there at the weekend and Makarios was a great destination and accommodation for us.
Many thanks to everyone's professional service, it was home away from home, it was perfect, will stay longer next time. The reception was friendly and thorough, the room was clean, tidy and very comfortable. Would recommend it for sure.
We had an incredibly nice experience at Makarios on Sea! Antoinette was the perfect hostess - received us herself, explained everything and afterwards we had total privacy. The Seagull unit was beautiful, perfectly clean, tidy, and everything we needed. Exactly as advertised and photos, right on the beach with a view of the town and sea. We would definitely recommend Makarios on Sea and will return again and again!
Great location. Very clean, modern and tastefully decorated. Would highly recommend it.
Stunning on the ocean with the waves in the background. Safe, peaceful with beach access.
Spacious, tidy accommodation.
Warmly welcomed and the accommodation was clean and neat. Beautiful view.
It was very nice. Sounds like waves broke in my room. Very nice.
We were kindly received and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Can 100% recommend Dolfyn if you are looking for a beautiful view of the sea.
Recommend this accommodation.
Enjoyed the visit, there was enough to do. Will book the unit with sea view and braai area.
Best place in South Africa with the bets host.
Had a great time, thank you.
Very nice stay. Everything was perfect. Parking in season may be problematic, but out of season there is no reason to stress about it.
It was one of our best vacations ever. The location is fantastic and the service every day is very good.
The unit I rented only had a thought of hot water in the shower. The problem was reported early Saturday morning (working day), but nothing was done. Rain, cloudy days and cold winds do not go together with cold showers. It could have been dealt with immediately and was not done.
We asked for a sea view, didn't realize you had to hang out the window. TV did not work.
Not sure what this means. One comment. I came home at 11.30 on the night, and the outside area was very dark, it was difficult to open the door, also the inside was dark, they need some night lights.
First prize goes to the location. Unbeatable! Closest you can get to the ocean. The facilities are fantastic. The staff are just as fantastic. We simply don't have any critique, just a lot of praise. Can't wait to go back. Breathtakingly beautiful and unforgettable!
5 star! Good value for money.
Very pleasant and beautiful.
On the stand, quiet, safe and well equipped.
Look out at the sea. Enjoy a braai on the stoep. Very friendly people who certainly look after the place.
Location, neatness, and friendliness at Makarios on the Sea makes it a place hou have to visit again.
Baie lekker gebly. Dankie aan die gasvrou.
Makarios is perfectly located with a wonderful view. The unit was impeccably clean and everything you need is there. They deserve their 4 stars. Will stay there again.
Pictures on site of different units are very confusing. We thought we were by the ocean and had a full ocean view, but we only got a slight ocean view in a tiny unit. Didn't stay there and instead looked for other accommodation. The owner/agent who worked with us was arrogant and unfit, will definitely refer no one there. If I could give customer service no stars, I definitely would.
We were not satisfied with the stay.
The unit is beautiful and well equipped. The unit is on the beach which means that the children could come and go on their own all the time. No busy roads to cross to the beach. Makarios is excellent accommodation, with the very best location on Herolds Bay. These are beautiful units, secure and very exclusive. We felt very privileged to stay in the excellent accommodation. It is right on the beach and no busy roads need to be crossed to get to the beach. It was spotless and very well equipped. The reception was very warm and Elize was always available if we needed her. Everything is in working order and perfect. I would stay there again anytime. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay.
We would recommend Makarios anytime. We look forward to returning. The quality of the accommodation is only surpassed by the host's politeness and friendliness.
Received very good service. Will use again and recommend where I can.
What a wonderful experience to go home here. The unit is well furnished, neat and clean. The location is fantastic. Very good customer service and excellent facilities. We will definitely return again.
The uniqueness of Herolds Bay and the simplicity it offers make it a safe and peaceful getaway.
The view from the Seagull balcony was breathtakingly beautiful! Will definitely visit the resort again. There are a few things that were a bit disappointing. 1. I was not happy that the car was parked in the parking area for the beachgoers. There was no security for the rental car and we had terrible problems finding parking throughout the day. 2. From the third night we stayed in another room because the Seagull was already booked. The room was dark, dusty and some of the power plugs didn't work well. Also after we asked for a room with a double bed we got two single beds and we were not even asked if we wanted to make the beds into one with a bigger duvet. 3. The owner, even though we were told she was sick, didn't drop in once to see if we enjoyed our stay. Although I enjoyed the privacy, I would have appreciated it. I would love to visit Makarios on Sea again but would not stay in any room other than the Seagull.
The apartment is very clean and tidy. The owners are friendly people. The stay was fantastic and I recommend it!
With your front door on the beach, clean and tidy unit, very tastefully furnished and fully equipped, one could hardly ask for better accommodation! Would definitely recommend Makarios on Sea!
Very well equipped and very cute!
I would definitely recommend them!
We had a very nice stay. The accommodation is truly to be recommended, just 30 m from the sea.
Nice central location with easy access and friendly reception. We will come again!
Very well equipped and idyllic location adjacent to beach. Owners very friendly and helpful, we would have loved to stay longer.
See the stars below!
The owners are lovely people who are very friendly and do everything possible to facilitate your visit. Good service from the cleaning staff! Excellent guest house. Would definitely recommend everyone to visit here. We will definitely stay there again. It had been a lovely break.
The stay was excellent and I/we would recommend it to anyone. It is truly a place to just relax and forget about everything. Fantastic sea view right on the beach. Very calming. Thanks to Makarios on Sea and LekkeSlaap for making this possible for us!
