50 guests' feedbackVery nice view and modern, neat unit.
We have been surprised at the info supplied via WhatsApp and no booking time was wasted. We have enjoyed our stay and will make use of this again.
Very nice stay. Lovely unit with nice view.
It was a pleasant experience. Everything was unbeatable. Ships Bell apartments are highly recommended.
Very neat accommodation and it had everything we needed.
Very nice place and beautiful view.
Very nice and close to shops.
It was a pleasant experience.
We had a nice stay. Thank you very much.
We had a great stay!
The accommodation was comfortable, close to the restaurants and nice view of the Harbour.
Not at the moment, the passages are all under renovation and resemble a building site. We struggled to work out where our apartment was in the complex as it's really not clear; made worse by the fact that a lift is necessary to change floors and get out, which seemed to fail on the final morning.
View is amazing! And it was easy to get in after we got there quite late. Helped a lot that we could walk to a restaurant. Music was distracting and lights outside, but the block out curtains helped. We were concerned about the safety of our vehicle. Sofa bed is uncomfortable to sit on.
Would like sheet between duvet and fitted sheet. Fan missing. Had a great time.
Very nice stay, thank you.
Will definitely come again and recommend it to others as well. Perfect view from the balcony and walking distance to everything nice.
Nicely rested in a beautiful unit. Location perfect with restaurants walking distance.
Perfect quiet place with excellent view of the Marina. Restaurants walking distance. Even battery backup for load shedding.
The apartment is perfect for a few nights sleepover. All necessities are available. Peaceful, quiet, with a beautiful view.
The place was neat and clean. Perfect location with many cute shops to browse.
We had a great stay. The place is well equipped, everything we could need was there. It was clean and well taken care off. Lovely view on the port. The location is great with restaurants within walking distance. The owners was great in helping us sorting a problem out, could not have asked for better. Will definitely visit again.
The town is a must experience.
This is definitely a place to visit and enjoy.
Very nice accommodation and all the arrangements were perfectly administered. Thank you, we will return.
Very nice place with great view and walking distance to restaurants.
Unfortunately, we forgot some of our clothes in the closet and the manager is now arranging for a courier to return them to us - we are very grateful for the effort they are making to help us!
When one goes away for a few days and just want to recharge, this is the place. Lots of activities around the area if you don't feel like resting. We chose to rest. For me a good bed is important. I don't want to look forward getting home to sleep in my own bed. The bed did not disappoint. I slept well. We enjoyed our stay, and would go back anytime.
Craig made us feel at home and the communication was excellent. Everything was in tip top condition when we arrived. The unit is well located (walking distance from restaurants) and excellently equipped. We had a wonderful stay and can recommend the unit.
For those of us who use DStv and not Netflix, the system wasn't easy to use. Even after an explanation by the owner we still couldn't get it to work. It seems as if certain upgrades need to be done on their side.
Very good location. Very well equipped unit. Nice and clean. The unit needs an aircon or burglar alarm in front of the window on the porch.
Braai facilities and gas braai visible in photos yet once booked phoned owners of the unit to confirm gas braai is available, told no units have any gas braai available. So false advertising on that in photos. As we wanted to braai Sunday as discovered none of the restaurants within walking distance are open Sunday night. Yet 1 or 2 units in Ships Bell and surrounding accommodations had gas or Webers on balconies. Other than that lovely accommodation and in-house amenities.
A lovely spacious room with a beautiful view of the harbour. There is everything you need and it's clean and tidy. Would stay there again anytime.
Good location right on the harbor close to als.
It was a wonderful time, the accommodation is excellent, we enjoyed it very much
The accommodation was perfect for us - a family of 3. The apartment had everything we needed and a stunning view on the balcony of the boats in the port. Nice vibe, festive with the music playing and the people moving around there. Close walk to the beach and along the port and the swimming pool was great too! Overall I would highly recommend this accommodation and we would definitely make use of them again in the future!
Apartment is clean and neat.
Beautiful stay! Close to the harbour for nice little walks and only a 5 minute drive to the best restaurants! We recommend the Rambling Rose for some wonderful coffee, Mauros has a wonderful Gorgonzola pizza and their deep fried fish and chips is outstanding! Heal was our favorite restaurant though! For plant based meals it was absolutely delightful! De Nude has some wonderful things as well as the bakery next door. We settled the evenings into a cozy little apartment and enjoyed the quiet docks.
The endless doof-doof of the bar below and a few meters on. The apartment is above a restaurant/bar and meters from another big noisy pub. The party doesn't stop until early morning and the owner's children entertain them on skateboards under your apartment from opening to closing time (almost like those old black scooters of old that drive you crazy when the kids have no end). When one of the residents addressed the children, the owner and the became involved in an argument. There was also a scuffle later in the evening between two drunk customers with appropriate language for the time of the evening. Contacted owner and he requested video to take it up with the governing body. Our neighbors were also in one of his apartments and were furious and regretful. They were looking for alternative accommodation.
It is a very nice and beautiful place. Nice restaurants nearby. It's wonderful to be able to just be quiet in one place all day without feeling like you're missing out.
If you want to eat at the two good restaurants near by, you need to book. However, plenty of options in St Francis Bay.
Needed a quiet, relaxing break and got exactly that.
Not easy enough to get keys to enter the apartment once you arrive.
Good location if you want to spent time at the harbour. Very neat and safe. Loved the bathroom's layout. Large shower and nice counter at the basin.
Beautiful. We will definitely stay there again.
Ons het ons verblyf baie geniet.
We were delighted. This was our first time in St. Francis, we'll come again.
The apartment was well furnished and met all our requirements.The location was simply five star. We would refer all our friends to visit should they wish to.
Excellent location, clean, cosy flat, good amenities. Very worth it for the price.
Place very well equipped (the sliding door just kept getting stuck and falling out until we oiled it) and comfortable. Very good location with a beautiful view of the harbor and yachts. It can get a little noisy (which is to be expected from a working port). Good restaurants in the area.
