148 guests' feedbackIt was very nice. My dog kids really enjoyed it.
Neat place with the most beautiful view.
Lovely stay, everything nice and clean. Will come again.
The view, as promised, was amazing. It was safe to walk around, and everyone in the area was friendly.
Lovely accommodation, clean and friendly hosts. Excellent location.
We really enjoyed our stay at See-Struis. The owners were really helpful and friendly. Excellent all round - the only drawback is that there is no washing machine or dryer, but this is a minor detail for shorter stays.
It was the nicest area and so beautiful! Thank you very much for a clean and tidy apartment.
Everything you need.
Very nice visit, excellent views.
Was a nice place to stay and with the most beautiful view of the Stilbaai's mouth and sea. Will definitely go back again!
Was excellent!
Spacious, quiet, nice view.
Perfect for our needs, ideal for the location! Essentials were all there.
When you come from the city and the N1 is a noise, it's quite nice to wake up to the sound of the sea.
The bed and bedding could do with upgrading. Cheap linen and a bed that is too small make you feel like you paid too much for the stay.
Definitely. There was a problem with the hot water, but it was quickly sorted by providing us with another bathroom and accommodation.
I stayed well, just that the sliding door in the lounge is not well insulated or installed coz the cold wind can come in.
Nice accommodation with a very nice view of the beach and lagoon.
We could see, hear and smell the sea all the time and best of all. You can walk barefoot to the sea with your dog with you.
Yes, the sea view had been wonderful. The house was neat.
It was amazing and the host is so kind!
Have a great stay and relax.
Unbelievably perfectly located. Is perfect. Just need an umbrella or canopy for outside, then it's perfect for sure!
On the beach. Beautiful view.
This is already the third time we have stayed there.
The location is perfect as it is walking distance from the beach. It is also central close to the shops and harbour.
Perfect area, sea view and very comfortable apartment. Across the road from the stand and the indoor grill is a winner.
There are just a few maintenance issues. The light in the corridor where you have to find your room is not working. The feeding tube light does not work. The braai's light does not work. Two tongs are broken. Please give just for each guest a new sponge at the kitchen sink. It's creepy to use someone else's with old food on it. Otherwise nice stay and will come again.
Nice view, excellent location on the sea, quiet, safe, residents all friendly. Thank you.
If you are looking for safe accommodation close to the sea, away from the noise and equipped with everything you need, this is the perfect apartment. Thank you very much Jacorene! We will definitely go again!
Place was clean and nice view to the sea was very nice. Safe, would go back anytime. 10 out of 10.
The apartment is well furnished with everything one needs for a comfortable holiday.
Ideal for 2 people and their children, as the living room is part of the master bedroom. We had a great stay, central, tidy and right by the sea. Our hostess was very friendly. Would like to suggest that a little more provision should be made for power outages i.e. rechargeable light bulbs in the rooms and a Wifi UPS.
The bedding in the double bedroom smelt slightly of smoke but otherwise, everything was lovely.
A little attention to a non-working shower head and the replacement of the outdated internal grill will make See-Struis's character unbeatable. We will definitely use See-Struis' accommodation again.
Stay comfortable, very neat and pleasant.
Very nice beach to walk on. People in all the businesses very friendly. A place to visit if you are looking for silence to find yourself again.
An enjoyable stay but the unit we stayed in needed some maintenance work done - small things but would be nice to see those upgrades done as it would up any review from 4 stars to 5 stars.
Furnishings, facilities and cleanliness do not meet expectations for price and location.
Location at the beach, no driving require to enjoy time at the beach.
Right on the beach. Everything perfect. We look forward to our next visit.
Compact with everything you need and lovely view of the sea. Will stay again.
Nice central location and beautiful views. Fabulous.
It was very nice to be able to take our whole family, dog included.
Only problem was that the shower didn't have a curtain or door. Everything was open so after every shower the bathroom floor was wet.
Unit was very nice. As a group, we were only disappointed in the lack of sufficient hot water for showers and washing up. Water was only lukewarm.
Loved Stilbaai and our place to stay, See-Struis. Lots of action and convenient.
The location was perfect and everything was comfortable and clean.
It was nice to stay here, nice clean and tidy and everything you need is there.
The cupboard under sink stank horribly, had to wash everything before use. Sadly the entire flat smells of braai when we walked in, supposedly not much can be done about that as the braai is in the main living area. Towel racks should be moved to wall next to shower and a shelf and mirror where electric shaver plug is. No Wi-Fi password to be found.
The apartment has a fantastic location and the view over the sea is very beautiful. The apartment is comfortable and quite well equipped. What bothered? Apartment was not clean at all upon arrival. It was dusty, windows were not clean, etc. There was nothing to clean the apartment with, and we first went to buy cleaning agents, sponges, etc so we could clean. I recommend that the owner/responsible person make sure that the apartment is clean, everything is there, and also that all the lights are in working order. We replaced some of the bulbs that were broken on arrival. Despite what bothered me, I would love to stay there again and would also recommend Sea Ostrich.
The place has a very good location and beautiful view but: The shower lacks a door or curtain. The whole bathroom is wet after you shower. The toilet keeps running after you flush it. The WiFi is of very very poor quality. The TV remote wouldn't work and no one tried to help us. The bin was full of rubbish when we arrived. The charcoal maker in the braai is broken. The wine opener was very old and broke in the bottle. No Tupperware in the kitchen. The light in the living room always stays on even through the night, not sure what type of light it is but very impractical.
It was nice to have a sea view. It's very peaceful and it's good for the soul. People are friendly in Stilbaai.
The sea view and the neatness of the place was excellent. Peaceful and friendly people. Close to shops. Will return.
Beautiful clean tidy place with a beautiful view of the sea from the balcony. Just across the street to the beach. Will definitely stay there again. Thank you very much for a very nice time.
Very nice stay. The sea view is fantastic.
We were very impressed with the unit. Very private and quiet and the reception was warm and friendly. Would definitely recommend. All amenities are very close and easy to get to.
It was very nice to stay here. Wish we could stay longer.
Enough space. Unit met everything and more we needed. Balcony overlooking sea was the best.
Braai needs work, was dirty and not washed, other than that, fantastic time.
It has a great view and is tidy.
This is a nice weekend apartment. Lovely view of the sea. Bathroom is modern and clean, kitchen is minimalistic.
The location was unbeatable and everything we needed was there. Definitely have to mention the shower! From the books!
Nice exhaust and location, would stay there again.
It was breathtakingly beautiful, more than we expected.
Especially liked the fact that I didn't have to walk far to the beach. My wife loved the location. It's just over the road then you're on the beach. The only problem is that it is a bit far to a cafe. But you can live with it.
The place has a very good location in terms of view and the beach/river.
The owner/Manager should send out the WhatsApp message either the day before guests arrive or the morning they are expected. That way guests don't have to call to find out which unit they are in or ask for the WiFi password etc. Would be a good idea to put the WiFi password on the fridge or somewhere so guests don't have to ask for it. I only gave cleanliness 3/5 because the dustbin was dirty, the fridge inside hadn't been cleaned from the last guest and the shower door was still dirty with soap marks from the last guest/s. Plates had to be re-washed before using as they still had food bits on. The cleaning team needs to be advised of this, even more so with COVID rules & regulations. Coffee should be supplied in sachets as the Ricoffy in the tin was congealed to the tin due to the moisture. Sealed sachets will prevent this and guests can have coffee. Otherwise, it was a lovely stay in a nice big spacious apartment. Good value for money.
Perhaps a packet of biscuits in the kitchen would add value.
Good pet-friendly option for a quick visit (two nights), as long as your dog listens, because it's on the road without a fence. A few minor maintenance issues that could be looked into, otherwise good value for money for a studio apartment. Amazing view and everything just like in photos.
The unit I booked was neat. The view of the sea is unbeatable. The unit had everything I needed. The location of the house is such that you are close to everything. There are a few things that could be improved to make a stay at See-Struis even better. Because the shower does not have a door, the bathroom floor gets wet after every shower that is taken. The bath mat is not enough to handle the wetness. I had to go buy a towel to keep the situation under control. During my stay, it was rainy and cloudy all the time. Because the bathroom does not have towel racks, there is no place to hang towels. There is also no laundry rack or something similar that can be used to dry towels. This caused towels to start smelling very musty after a few days. If these things can be addressed, it will make the stay so much more comfortable and better.
Maybe two wine glasses in the unit and the internet was not great. Perfect unit and very comfortable/convenient.
This is a comfortable 2 bedroom apartment with a beautiful view. Comfortable indoor braai with open patio.
Parking at unit. All amenities are there and a view that is unbeatable.
Best location in Stilbaai. The flat is quite small and especially the kitchenette, but for our stay of only 1 night this was perfect.
We would definitely go back to See-Struis. Had a wonderful stay. Excellent location. Suggestion would be to have fans in the bedrooms it gets very hot at night.
See-Struis is a well-equipped apartment with an incredible location and sea view. It is ideal for an overnight stay or for a summer holiday. Very safe environment. \\
Door lock not in good working order. Thrifty with detergents, hand washing soap that foams, especially in Covid-19 conditions, would have been more appreciated. Long-handled charcoal tongs can be replaced.
A sudden decision to sleep over somewhere, and then I found this place through Lekkeslaap. Price is right, and the accommodations very satisfactory. Sorry for the covid challenges, I like to at least discourage my host, which didn't happen in this case.
There is no better location in Stilbaai. Unfortunately, See-Struis, precisely because of this, does not offer any extras. Having a barbecue right in front of the apartment while looking at the sea is special. Since our last visit, the bathroom has been beautifully redone and the linens improved. Unfortunately the bathroom still has a smell. The 2 big black dogs on the top floor barked with every coming and going, it even annoyed the neighbors. The front door doesn't want to unlock from the inside, you have to go through the sliding door, unlock it from the outside, then lock the sliding door again from the inside and only then go out the front door. I suggest installing clear bars on the bathroom windows then you can leave them open and ventilate the bathroom. Also, replace the shower head with something durable that won't rust. Bed is comfortable, kitchenette well equipped and TV works well. Remember there is no fan.
About half the lights were out. No window trim at the window above the bed and the blinds are fitted.
We had a nice time. There is only a large crack and paper jam above the sliding door, which can be fixed. Everything else was neat and clean.
Was very nice. Only one problem: The owner was moving furniture around in the middle of the night which was very disturbing. And the 1 bedside lamp's bulb was blown as well as the kitchen's. The braai and grill were also very dirty.
Due to us only staying overnight our review is fairly limited.
Beddegoed nie vervang ná vorige gaste nie. Ganglig na ingang werk nie en dit is baie donker saans. Kombuislig werk nie.
It was a wonderful, quiet weekend, the view was breathtaking and the place was neat, clean and very convenient. Everything one needed was available.
Beautiful view of the sea and lagoon. Rooms are beautiful and spacious.
One of the best views in Stilbaai, right by the beach. The unit was clean, and the service was great. Thank you very much.
What a great location and so helpful.
Comfortable and clean accommodation for a short visit, situated in perfect location.
One of the best located places in Stilbaai! Look out on the river and sea. Bring a fan, rooms a bit stuffy this time of year.
We had a unit with a balcony and was right across from the beach. Could enjoy views in the morning and evening. Just walk across street to beach. Unity is very neat. Built-in braai area. Safe. Relaxed wonderfully. Would like to stay here again.
Excellent sea view. Space good for 2 people.
The residential unit was certainly built on one of the best positions in Stilbaai. The unit is very spacious, neat, clean and very well equipped. Across from the main beach and yet very peaceful. It was great, thank you.
Cold, impersonal, no WiFi, barbecue not working, small place but very dingy, right on the street, no umbrella for outside, kitchen old and very small. Only get afternoon sun. No outdoor barbecue area. Simply just "too" on the street, maybe a good stopover if you're not an outdoorsy person.
Excellent place. Definitely a nice spot.
Place is ideally situated. Room was clean however every light bulb was different, not all worked and the blinds did not meet in the middle allowing anyone walking past the room a view inside.
The key was not available on the way in - had to call around first. They forgot to turn on the geyser - didn't have hot water to shower - was horrible. Thirdly, we were not aware that our room was a self-catering unit - thought it was bed and breakfast included.
Had no problems that was refered to on the reviews. Lovely accommodation.
Keys and access can be better managed. There are bunches of keys and doors with no numbers on them. Quite a challenge to figure out where you need to go home and which key fits.
The apartment had not been cleaned on arrival by 17:00. No internet.
This was very unexpected. Me and my wife loved staying at See-Struis. The view was to die for and the studio apartment was more than we expected. Spacious, clean and modern. We had everything we needed and more. Will be coming back sooner than later. Thanks for a great breakaway.
Thank you for a fantastic holiday. Your place is very neat, clean and everything we needed was available. The 2 women who clean the place are very friendly and helpful. Appreciate your place.
See-Struis is next to the river mouth. Modern feeling and comfortable. The rooms area comfortabe, well-planned living area and built-in braai. The kitchen has everything you need for a short or long stay. Just bring clothes, drinks, food (and wood if you want to braai).
Room very spacious, lovely view of the sea. Kitchenette was sufficient and the bathroom too. Location was excellent.
On arrival was not able to get hold of owner on the contact details supplied to gain access to the unit, eventually had to arrange alternate accommodation for the evening. The next day we had got hold of owner and gained access. The DSTV decoder was not switched on, after numerous requests and promises never happened.
Upon our arrival at See-Struis we called the owner who gave us instructions on how to get into our unit. Our unit was very spacious with two bedrooms and a nice balcony overlooking the sea. However, I will not book here again because we could not get any WiFi access - no instructions left and no feedback from the owner in this regard. We received no feedback whatsoever from her, including regarding breakfast. Unfortunately the place wasn't very clean either, we didn't use the kettle because it was too dirty inside, and the towels weren't clean either. I would understand if there were circumstances beyond control, but then I would still expect communication.
We were booked for 17/18 Sept at See-Struis and paid the full amount for accommodation. When we arrived everything was closed and no one to receive us. After a struggle we found the owner who then motioned for us to come in, we agreed that she would refund our breakfast money as there was no one to make breakfast. So we will arrange for breakfast ourselves. Now, after over a month and several attempts, our agreed amount has still not been refunded, extremely disappointing!
Very good location, well equipped with a friendly hostess - will go again anytime.
Just as you see on the web! I enjoyed the time at See -Struis and have told all my friends where to go in future! Clean towels, good bed linen ,lovely view, oil heater, even rusks, coffee and tea to welcome you... The balcony was the best ─ sitting in the sun, drinking tea, reading, relaxing, looking at the sea... There is a lot of places that makes the most divine home made food for lunch and dinner. No need to cook, the only thing that boiled in my flat was the kettle. Dont forget to go to "Die Lapskuit" for the best fish and calamari in Stilbaai. I will definitely visit See-Struis again.
Everything was excellent! We will recommend it to everyone!
We were warmly received by the owner and had a great time at See-Struis. It is a painfully neat apartment with all the necessary facilities. The ocean and lagoon view was unbeatable. All that bothered me was the WiFi that didn't want to cooperate. Would definitely recommend the place.
The house is well-equipped and the view is amazing!
The place has a wonderful view. Walk across the road and you are on the beach. Inside it is very nicely and comfortably made. I would go again anytime.
Wow, what lovely accommodation! Weather was not so good, but the "break-away" was immensely enjoyed, we had an overseas visitor with us and he was extremely impressed as well. Location brilliant, accommodation clean and new and our hosts stunning. Will definitely be back.
Sea Ostrich, what a fantastic 2 days, I will recommend all my friends for such a short break, it's really value for money.
Was there for a wedding and stayed one night, very friendly welcome, apartment is tidy, location is very nice.
See-Struis is charming, the view is something amazing, accommodation everything and more than what was expected. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet our host Heinzetta, but she was constantly in contact with us, making us feel at home. Sarah who came to clean the units, when required, was very friendly and made sure we were not short of anything. We highly recommend See-Struis and will definitely be returning!
Stunning view, very neat apartment with great braai facilities.
Comfortable. Excellent location and good value for money.
Everyone was friendly and very helpful. No complaints. Just remember people - it's not a B&B.
Highly recommended. Lovely sunrise and river, with sea views. Very cosy unit. Slept well.
For the price you pay, we would have liked a top sheet and not just the duvet on the bed. Although it was neat, our feet were full of dust from walking barefoot. The bathroom is very small and old and has no bath in it. Some of the breakware was "cheap" and again not acceptable for the price paid.
The owner was very friendly.
Perfect view and location. Nice warm sheets, new towels - everything needed to make your time special.
Very well equipped accommodation with a beautiful view of the river, beach and bay.
Nice self catering unit.
We had a good reception. The unit is well located. It was neat and clean and met our basic needs. We would love to stay there again.
Very nice location and the place is very nice.
The best view ever. Very comfortable accommodation. The apartment has everything one needs. I would highly recommend Sea Ostrich.
Very friendly and helpful. Will recommend.
We only stayed one night in See-Struis's small apartment. The sleeping/living area is very spacious, but the bathroom is tiny. The apartment offers everything needed and was neat and clean and it offers a beautiful view of the river and sea. We did struggle to gain access to the apartment at first and when we left there was no one to hand over the key to.
Our experience at See-Struis was not so pleasant due to cold showers. We contacted the owner but the next showers were only lukewarm and especially in winter it is not very pleasant. I just think if you get paid that much, you should at least make sure you turn on the hot water cylinder well in advance and make sure the water is hot.
Fantastic location with nice view and kind hostess.
Everything was nice, clean, comfortable and within walking distance of the sea and hiking trails. I can really recommend this house for self-catering families.
Can definitely recommend Sea Ostrich.
It was wonderful to wake up so close to the sea.
We can truly recommend See-Struis for an experience of a lifetime!
Sea Ostrich is ideally located, right on the beach and the sunset and sunrise are breathtaking. Heinzetta, your place is great!
The luxury 2-bedroom unit was spacious and tidy, and looks as the website portrays it. The balcony overlooks the river and sea and is a lovely place to visit even if it rains. The sea is really just a few steps over the road in front of the unit and down a flight of steps. Definitely good value for money!
See the stars below.
Really enjoyed it!
It's beautifully clean and well maintained. Stylishly furnished.
