68 guests' feedbackWe enjoyed it very much. Eric is a stalwart!
It is a nice, neat unit. I didn't check to see if there was Wi-Fi - one assumes every place has Wi-Fi - however there was no Wi-Fi. I would recommend it as there is already fiber laid. It wasn't just a holiday for me - I had to deal with emails which were a problem.
Summer Place is a quiet and peaceful place right in paradise. The staff were friendly, the place is clean and tidy, what more could one ask for. We will definitely go back.
We had a wonderful holiday. It was really very very nice. Couldn't ask for better.
So peaceful and safe. Best located with the most beautiful view.
You don't get much closer to the sea easily, service was great, everything you need is there.
The sleeping place was really bad 100m from the main beach. Also a nice swimming and family beach.
Enjoyed staying there.
Was absolutely wonderful, from the ocean views to the comfort of the unit. As the previous reviews made it clear, Eric and Yvonne were absolute superstars. Will definitely spoil the whole family next time with a holiday in the big Penthouse! Thank you very much for a wonderful peaceful holiday. We will definitely see you again soon.
The place is surely the closest to the beach for convenience. Especially with the kids coming and going. House is neat, clean and everything works. Not always practical but because the location is so good you look past it. Honeymoon's 2nd bedroom can get quite hot, there is only a sliding door with no windows or air conditioning, just a standing fan.
Service was great. We had a great stay in Summer Place. We only suggest that bedding/sheets be replaced with white. The existing ones are already slept through and colorful. White bedding feels fresh and clean and new. Furthermore, the service was excellent and the place very tidy. Wonderful bathroom.
Summer Place, specifically the Paradise unit is lovely.
I would just like to report on my recent stay at Summer Place. It could not have been nicer. Eric was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. Great guy. Yvonne was also excellent for the speedy and thorough cleaning daily. All in all the place is spotless, all appliances perfect, peaceful and quiet. Fantastic views. I look forward to my speedy return. Keep up the good work!
Will go back again anytime. The people working there were very helpful and friendly. Calm and quiet.
Summer Place is so well located and is so nice close to the beach. We really enjoyed it and even though the weather wasn't good we still enjoyed Big Brother a lot. It is ideal for two people who want to get away and rest. We would only recommend Wi-Fi for the people who still have to work in the evenings. Other than that, there is nothing wrong. It was a wonderful 10 days.
We were spoiled with cleaning services. Eric and Yvonne were there very regularly to ensure that everything was in order and clean. All Covid rules were abided by.
This place is perfect. The beach is just below this place and rooms are perfect. They treated me and my spouse very well, especially the guy called Eric and we will visit soon.
Paradise unit has a very nice view. We had a great stay and rested. Eric, the caretaker, welcomed us very kindly and made us feel at home. Thank you for the clean and beautiful unit. To relax and break away from the busy city, go to Summer Place. Nice sea view and really just a few steps and you are on the beach.
Will definitely be back.
Beautiful place with a breathtaking view of the sea, so relax. Many thanks to Eric who helped so faithfully, made us feel at home. Thanks also to Theresa for her kindness. See you again at the end of the year.
We had a blissful and relaxing week even though the weather wasn't great. Highly recommended for a quiet and no-stress break-away.
Very friendly staff. Felt very safe. But the size of the unit is small and not comfortable for more than 2 people during the evenings.
It was peaceful. Safe apartment. Access to the beach.
It was one of my best vacations yet. Great service and very tidy. I will definitely visit there again.
My husband and I booked away for my 37th birthday and all I can say is: wow, what a awesome getaway. From our unit, to the spectacular view which was breathtaking, the service we received from Eric ─ it was all amazing. Will definitely be going back.
Everything and more than we expected, picture beautiful, calm and peaceful. Fantastic and friendly service with the beach at your feet and whales frolicking in front of us.
Breathtaking views. Amazing time of year. Once in a lifetime view of ocean with whales breaching waters every few seconds across the entire horizon. Definitely will visit again around late September. Easy and direct access onto quiet and clean beach.
Skoon netjiese plekkie, vriendelike personeel. Ligging fantasties, loopafstand see toe 'n ekstra bonus! Sal vir seker weer kom kuier.
Don't look any further, this place is awesome.
We loved this place. Beautiful view! Eric was so friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back next year.
Would recommend Summer Place to anyone.
Stunning view on the ocean.
The unit was clean and neat. The grounds keeper was helpful and professional.
Nice place with good services. Had a small problem with pipes rattling in the roof.
Accommodation was neat and clean and the beach so close and beautiful. We had a very very very nice stay! Eric's kindness and hospitality was something to remember forever.
We stayed in the penthouse and loved it. The accomodation is beautiful and well looked after. The staff is very helpful. The seaview is fantastic and the beach is very close. We would definitely stay there again.
It was very clean and quiet and the view is phenomenal. Help from caretaker can not be better.
Great service from Eric and team. Braaiers are a bit small and the bed needs to be replaced in paradise suite. Full DSTV package would also be nicer than the current package.
Summer Place is very neat. The place is well maintained. Umzumbe is an ideal place for a peaceful holiday.
The place has amazing views but the linen and matress should be changed. The shower should get a door, no curtain at the moment and the water flows over the floor and we couldn't shower the first night.
Good location, safe and clean. Enough space for living and sleeping.
Enjoyed my stay and fishing.
We will visit Summer Place again. The following changes can be made in the Honeymoon unit: new mattress in the master bedroom, oven dishcloths, salad bowl, braai bowl, clothes horse and reupholstering of TV sofa...seats are done.
Thank you to LekkeSlaap for booking my vacation and making it so wonderful. Thank you for your hospitality and excellent service. You made my 2017 vacation the best ever.
The Honeymoon suite has an awesome view of the ocean and we will recommend to any guest to book their Holiday/Honeymoon with Summer place. Nice spacious and very clean.
The Big Brother facilities were perfect for a week's break from a busy life. The walking distance to the sea is so convenient. And the service from the staff was great, we will definitely come again. All criticism that is not pleasant was that Summer Place fixed the roof of the building in front of us during the week we were there. So the chopping and welding was not something one wanted to hear during one's vacation there. I hoped that the owners could have communicated this to us in advance.
The staff was absolutely excellent! Eric went out of his way to make us feel welcome and if we needed anything. The kitchen cupboards really needs to be looked at, broken. The TV in the room did not work (permanently stuck). A proposal to please. ensure that the most necessary utilities are in the kitchen in the future. Tin-opener and braai-tongs. We were really impressed that the braai was cleaned every day. Thanks Eric. Finally, the distance to the beach is not far but for older people it is really a problem. I was assured that Summer Place is the beach and walking distance. Yes walking distance, but takes a lot from the body of a person over 70. Take into account that it's a steep walk and it should be mentioned to prospective guests. Otherwise it was really good and had a good rest.
I have sent photos of this venue to LekkeSlaap, it is so run down and dirty. I would definitely not recommend this venue.
It was lovely, lovely sea view, very friendly people, parking a bit of a problem but the unit is very comfortable, clean and spacious! Thank you very much, we will definitely visit Mike's Cottage again!
Highly recommended. Breathtaking view, perfect location. Helpful people. We will definitely be back.
Very peaceful and safe, and Eric is very helpful.
We stayed in the honeymoon suite. The view was fantastic. The suite is very nice and comfortable. Eric and Pretty very helpful and friendly. Eric is always there to see if we need anything. The time was just too short. Going back later in the year for longer. Thank you LekkeSlaap, you always find me the best places to stay!
Accommodation convenient with a beautiful view. Everything in the kitchen worked and we were happy about the bath and the shower since we have grandchildren.
We had a nice stay. It is close to the beach which is nice for swimming.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. The Big Brother Summer place is centrally situated and we were able to visit other areas like Shelley Beach. We would definitely book again.
The location is excellent and very close to the swimming beach. Incredible sea view and plenty of space! Will go again for sure!
We had a great time. Location was fantastic. Property needs a bit of TLC. I would suggest more channels on the DSTV service that was the only disappointment.
Mike's Cottage is at Bill's Place, 3 houses from Summer Place, we were not informed about this at all. We were impressed with our stay at Summer Place! On arrival it seemed as if they were hardly expecting us, the unit was quite clean, there were no dish cloths or dish soap. Only 1 tea towel that has never been washed or changed. Our bedding has never been washed or changed, as stated in the terms and conditions. Bedding is already old and washed, think they can pay attention to it. There was a mattress for our little girl, but no extra linen or bedding! The staff, Dought and Pretty were very helpful and helped where they could. The sea view is amazing!
Location is perfect. Apartment large, very comfortable and beautifully furnished. Hospitality was perfect. Private path down to beach made it very comfortable. Will definitely stay there again. Many thanks to the owner and his family for their hospitality and kindness.
It was one of the most beautiful views of the sea I have experienced in a long time. The management of the place is very friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back to Summer Place again and definitely tell our friends about the place.
I would recommend the place. It has a beautiful view of the sea. Eric who was there to help us was very helpful and friendly. We will go to the place again. Had a great stay and didn't want to come back. Outstanding.
I have been to the South Coast 3 times now and this was the best stay ever, To the staff at Summerplace: thank you so much Maria, Eric and the cleaning ladies . You guys ROCK! and I will certainly be visiting there again in the future.
I would definitely recommend the place to stay, the place is neat and the service is excellent. You can just walk down to the beach which has a safe swimming area. I will definitely stay there again.
Summerplace, I would recommend anytime for any large group. It is neat, spacious and comfortable. Good view and nice private beach. The caretaker, Eric is very helpful and helpful. Will book there again anytime!
Can pay more attention to cleaning.
Although the view is heavenly, the facilities are outdated, run down and untidy. The owners need to upgrade very urgently.
The location is to isolated, one feels scared there.
