41 guests' feedbackIt was a nice quiet break away from the city life.
It was delicious. Very well located, close to everything you need.
Everything as good. Service. The fact that we had our own gate key and were told in advance what the times of load shedding were bonus point.
Was quite the breakaway we needed.
Host was very helpful and friendly. Was wonderfully quiet and peaceful.
Apartments are neat but the layout could be renovated and beautified somewhat. Toilet and sink in 2 bedrooms are a bit neat, but the shower is large with lovely hot water. The 3rd unit is still incomplete and was very dusty, but was cleaned after being notified. The bed and bedding are decently clean for a good night's rest. The owner was friendly and very helpful with everything we asked.
Very nice stay and the area is beautiful. The host was great.
It was peaceful, relaxing and quiet.
It is a very nice environment, quiet and safe.
Very nice and neat, peaceful place.
We actually only went to sleep there, but I would recommend it to anyone. It's friendly people there, very helpful.
Had a problem but the owner was very helpful and very hospitable.
Fantastic and very nice view.
Value for money.
I specially booked a place with a pool and we couldn't use the pool. It was very disappointing because we then had to drive to the beach and we didn't want to drive because we had a drink too.
Can recommend it to any of my friends. Out of the hustle and bustle of the city. Lazy and relaxed atmosphere. Natural scenes in the area are breathtaking.
Privacy and tranquility found very pleasant, when we were at home.
Husband was very friendly and helpful with directions. There was old, rotten food from previous guests in the fridge. The bedding was clean, but the bed bugs bit me so much. Such hard bumps that burn and itch badly.
Location is convenient and close to shopping centers. Private and quiet, with a beautiful view of everything that emphasizes the beauty of the area. Definitely a favorite for our next visit.
I will definitely stay there again. Good value for money. Everything you need with an extra portion of silence and tranquility.
Would only recommend putting better bedding and more appropriate curtains at the door.
Lovely host, beautiful location and good value for money.
From the time we got there until we drove it was pleasant. Adolf received us very kindly. The place was very clean and tidy.
Quiet accommodation not too far from the beach. We had a good time at Now and Then. Comfortable bed and plenty of basic fittings. Owners were friendly and helpful. Enjoy lazy afternoons sitting and braaiing after a long day at the beach.
The environment was nice and beautifully.
Everything you need for self-catering is there, but it's not very tidy.
Staff were friendly when we arrived the units were comfortable.
Friendly welcome and the view amazing.
Very spacious, very quiet away from the hustle and bustle of Somerset. Beautiful view to wake up to each morning even if it is overcast.
Location slightly inconvenient, no direct safe access route to Strand/Gordons Bay. Well located (close to R44) for travel to Stellenbosch/Franschhoek/Paarl wine routes on R44 and R45. Shopping malls, movies, hospital conveniently close.
Very basic unit. Unit was unfortunately not cleaned (bathroom and kitchen sinks were blocked even though the bathroom's was fixed on request, light in room was dirty and full of bugs, lots of cobwebs in the room in the corners, braai grid was dirty). TV is the old box type on a tired little stand that leans scarily to one side (when mentioned to the owner that it is unsafe, she answered that we shouldn't be worried, if the TV falls it's his problem). TV only has TV1 and none of the other channels work, even though the website said that there was shared DStv, but the other channel doesn't work at and neither does the other SABC channels. Unit is a cellar with a door and one window that doesn't even have burglar bars so if you want fresh air in the room at night you have to take your chance with the elements. Overall safety of the location is also not ideal. The door to the other unit is just a door that was put in the opening with no lock and the other tenants in the unit next door can just push open the door to get access to our unit. We eventually packed the fridge and bags in front of it to make it safer. Mixture of glasses and mugs for crockery.
Very weak. I was disappointed. The bed was broken and the general cleanliness and appearance of the unit was very poor compared to the rest of the stay booked by LekkeSlaap.
I would most definitely recommend Now and Then to the best of my ability as it is everything one could want for a peaceful getaway. Friendly people and neat and quiet and extremely safe. See you again soon.
Everything was clean and tidy. All problem was that the fridge was broken and a smaller fridge was put in, on which stood the TV which we could barely see. Other than that we had a nice stay.
All the basics one needs. Clean and tidy. Will definitely recommend it to others.
The location is great for a getaway from the ratrace. The accommodation and facilities are basic, but clean. More linen should be provided, especially during winter. The place is clean inside but the outside needs an overall. It is value for money if you are on a tight budget.
We had a very nice stay. The environment is very beautiful.
We enjoyed it very much. Lovely rural atmosphere and friendly host. The facilities are basic, but clean and tidy. Thank you Adolf for a wonderful time.
It's very beautiful and peaceful there; will definitely go again.
See the stars below.
Owner attended immediately if there were problems.
