85 guests' feedbackWe were blown away - literally and figuratively - by this extremely well-appointed cottage. Everything, and more, is supplied in an intuitively organised space. Lovely views, good walking opportunities and two surprisingly good restaurants within walking distance. Host checked in daily. Given the number of visitors that are hosted, we were most impressed with the upkeep and cleanliness of the cottage.
Wonderful stay. Small coastal town, very safe and quiet neighbours. Hondeklip Baai is a lovely place to stay over, would have loved to stay longer.
Lovely stay, excellently equipped. Beautiful view, inside very nice and tidy.
If I had known how nice this was, I would have adjusted my trip to stay longer. Everything you want from a self-catering is there, friendly host, great view. Even if you are not staying at the cottage, come by at sunset to watch the birdlife at the garden bird bath.
Excellent and comfortable.
Absolutely excellent. Unit is neat and clean, and equipped with more than one needs. It provides for everything. Will definitely book there again. The service was great and very friendly. Thank you very much for a great few days.
Absolutely lovely! Everything you might possibly need and more. The host goes the extra mile.
Perfect cottage - Beds were good and it has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Good location with a view of the Bay. Very friendly greeting from the host and lots of information available on who to contact in the cottage. Best accommodation in town.
Lovely accommodation, beautiful view, close to everything and well equipped with a nice barbecue area.
Lovely stay, clean and tidy and well equipped.
Wonderful place. Will definitely visit again.
Very neat and clean accommodation with all the necessities.
Equipped with everything one could need, The Dogstone Cottage is the best choice of accommodation on Hondeklip Bay! The sea view and the hospitable reception were wonderful!
Loved it! Place is comfortably laid out. The hostess is also very friendly and also sends you more information ahead of time.
Dogstone Cottage accommodation exceeded all our expectations. Definitely the best LekkeSlaap accommodation yet! Thank you Salome and your mother-in-law for looking after the guests so nicely, for offering a haven for the tired person here! I found new wind in my sails.
The unit is very comfortably equipped. We were received extremely kindly. Fantastic environment.
First time in Hondeklip Bay, although there is not much to do. If you want to rest well with an exceptional view, this is the place. Everything is so neat and Sharon is so hospitable. House has everything you need and more. Such a nice warm feeling when you walk in.
Next time we want to stay here again, but for several days.
Hondeklipbaai is a little gem on the West Coast. Nothing really special, but just nice, calm and safe.
Very special, well located, furnished and managed. We were warmly welcomed and really enjoyed the luxury and view.
Salome helped us incredibly. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much for a beautiful wooden house, equipped with everything. We did Camini on the 7th day and stayed there before and after. It had been an oasis for us. The house was very clean, we were received by the friendliest lady. It felt like home away from home. Thank you very much for all the hospitality. Please. stay there if you decide to visit Hondeklip Bay.
Very hospitable and clean, beautiful place to sleep in Hondeklip Bay. Thanks for letting us share it with you.
Apart from the bad road, the accommodation is very good. Few flowers.
Need to have gas available for power cuts and make a plan to have water available when power is off. Water availability when no power is an issue. Need a plan for guests when no power for water and a small gas cylinder with kettle. Pot and frying pan to cook when no power. The accommodation is lovely.
The unit is very well equipped with everything you may need for self-catering; it's within walking distance of the sea and a place to eat.
Place is perfectly located, and has the most beautiful sea view.
Awesome facilities, super comfy, very clean, well decorated, a beautifully looked after home with wonderful views of the bay. Unfortunately our check out experience was unpleasant and unaccommodating, despite us leaving 13 minutes late. Sadly we won’t recommend or return.
The place is fantastically located and very clean and tidy. Everything you need is here!
The unit is very neat and well equipped. It is also very well located in Hondeklip Bay.
Hostess thought of everything.
Very nice and tidy house with a beautiful view and spotlessly clean. The detail in the cottage is incredible.
One does not get cleaner and neater accommodation.
Ons het baie lekker gebly in julle huisie. Dit is werklik 'n huis weg van die huis. 'n Volgende keer bly ons beslis langer. Baie dankie vir al die vriendelikheid en al die inligting wat julle vir ons vooraf deurgegee het oor die roetes en jul plekkie.
Sherry on arrival a pleasant surprise. Tastefully decorated and comfortable. Modern amenities. Ouside braai protected from the south easter. Lock up garage.
The cottage is very well situated with a very nice view over the town and the sea. We were welcomed so kindly and Sharon was incredibly friendly and helpful. It's a lovely cottage with everything we need, we didn't lack for anything, and there is a wonderful atmosphere. The decor is beautiful and we enjoyed every moment there. We would recommend this cottage to anyone.
Will stay there again and recommend to others anytime. The house is comfortable and tidy. It is very peaceful to watch the sunset.
Very neat place. Will definitely want to stay here again in the future if we come back to the region.
There you can wind down and relax and sit on the porch and watch the sun go down. One can drive far along the sea on both sides of the village. There is a shipwreck on the rocks and you can grill some meat at many nice barbecue spots by the sea. The cottage is very well furnished. Two families can hang out together and then have privacy in the evening.
Beautiful view. Facilities extremely neat.
Dogstone Cottage is very well equipped with everything you need and very tidy. If we ever again consider taking the road between the N7 and Hondeklip Bay with our sedan vehicle we will definitely stay there again. Salomé, the owner was lovely, and even arranged fresh pike for us.
Will definitely stay there again.
Neat, clean, close to everything. It's really home away from home.
Nice stay. Restful. Just had too little time to enjoy the deckchairs.
We had a lovely stay at The Dogstone Cottage. A beautiful wooden house with a breathtaking view of the sea to admire the sunset. Tastefully furnished with everything one would need. Sharon and Salome were very hospitable and made sure we enjoyed our few days in Hondeklip Bay. We would love to visit again and would definitely recommend the place.
Lovely spacious house with everything needed. Wonderful destination.
This is our 2nd time at Dogstone Cottage and I hope we will be able to stay again in the future. The house has everything you need for self-catering and is perfectly located with an unobstructed view of the bay. Also a nice sheltered braai next to the house and a garage; maybe if roll-down blinds can be placed along the sides of the deck, one can also sit there at any time of the day. Between Sharon and Salome, one could not ask for better service; lovely people. The place is perfect for 2 pairs of friends or a parent couple with children, as each of the 2 bedrooms is en suite. And the place is super-tidy with extras like electric blankets on the beds; also spacious with enough natural lighting. I definitely recommend Dogstone Cottage and Hondeklip Bay!
We had a lovely overnight stay at Dogstone Cottage. Wonderful house and service!
The owner made an effort to furnish the place well. The house is a stone's throw from the bay with the most beautiful view. The place is impeccably clean.
Great place with great service and help! Walking distance to the beach and restaurant.
The house is beautiful, very nice and warm and particularly well and nicely furnished. Beautiful sea view and close to the sea. Large porch. Everything was in excellent working order and very clean. The electric blankets were a great treat in the cold evenings. Large garage that even our 4x4 vehicle could fit and lock up. The braai place is also nicely furnished. Salome was an excellent hostess and communicated in advance and relayed information which was very helpful. We are happy to recommend the accommodation. Sharon also received us kindly.
Beautiful, very well located and wonderful view. We really rested a lot. Place very neat and clean.
Would recommend the place to anyone. It is quiet peaceful and very safe.
It was idyllic! Lovely holiday home, great view. Fantastic people!
I have stayed in boutique hotels that aren't as good as this!
The owner kept us informed about the location. There was a lady who received us and gave us all the necessary information. The cottage itself was a surprise, it's all modern and tidy inside. Both bedrooms overlook the sea.
The stay was very nice. Just a pity the South East blew us away but the well stocked bookshelf made up for staying inside.
I booked the place for my in-laws, here is their feedback: Very interesting reading material available, kitchen fully equipped. The place was spotless and the hostess very helpful. Nice view from the living room and open porch on parts of the bay and lighthouse. The house is spacious and very tasteful and fully equipped, nice beds. Neat braai area, garage and laundry facilities.
Huis pragtig binne met droombeddegoed en alles wat mens dalk kan nodig kry. Wens ons kon ‘n maand daar bly. Badkamers lieflik! Selfs instap-klerekas! Kombuis is toegerus met alles onder die son!
Would have loved to stay longer and would love to book there again.
Thank you Sharon and Salome, we had such a nice stay.
What a nice place to stay. Very clean and tidy. Fantastic hosts. Would recommend anytime. Best view of all of Hondeklip Bay. Will always book with Dogstone again. We had a nice recharge.
Very neat house, with a wonderful view of the sea, friendly and helpful owners, highly recommend this place.
This is a lovely place to stay. Very well kept, lovely views of the sunsets and sea. Everything is neat and clean ─ 5 star value.
The house was very well furnished, clean, tidy and nicely furnished. We would definitely recommend it.
Salome, thank you very much for the beautiful place that we can use. It is breathtakingly beautiful, the location absolutely great. All the best to you in the future.
Great stay. Most beautiful view. Nice spacious and tidy. Had a lovely stay. Would only wish to stay longer. Hostess very friendly and helpful.
The cottage is so well appointed, we wished we had booked in for a week! The view from the veranda is awesome.
My husband and I arrived late afternoon. The weather was a bit cold when we arrived, but the welcoming sherry in the cottage was just perfect to warm up. It is a very neat, cosy cottage with a perfect sea view. We were surprised to have everything we could possibly need for a self-catering 5-day stay. We would definitely recommend it for people who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city life.
I didn't want to drive. The place has everything you need and more. The view of the sea and town is lovely. It was truly like my home for a few days. We had a great time and rested.
Very well appointed, considering the distance to shops. Friendly and helpful owners.
We had a great stay. The owners are very helpful and friendly. The patio was wonderful to use when eating breakfast. Peaceful and great view. Can't wait to go there again.
What a lovely place!! Everything you need and more! Would definitely recommend The Dogstone Cottage and stay there again!
The house is extremely tastefully furnished and all the necessary accessories are there to make your stay pleasant. The books in the bookshelf are quite appropriate for the environment. The house is definitely recommended and we will make use of the privilege again in the future and recommend it to our friends.
It was great.
The unit is well-equipped with good facilities. It's close to the beach with a sea view. The big patio is lovely.
You can relax on the patio. Everything is new, clean and very neat.
See stars.
The road to Hondeklip Bay is a very long and bad dirt road.
Beautiful cottage near the beach. Friendly and peaceful holiday destination, great for a relaxing holiday. Highly recommend this wonderful place. Will be back soon.
The cottage was truly more than we expected. Cleanliness, full facilities and the beautiful sea view make the cottage a 5-star accommodation in Hondeklip Bay. We will definitely use The Dogstone Cottage again, an experience right out of the books.
We had a wonderful stay. Perfect for two couples or parents with 2 children. We were only 2 adults so it is even much better value for money when you share the costs. Neat, well equipped with everything you would need. Beautiful view of the bay. Salome is the perfect hostess and we would stay again anytime.
We were warmly welcomed and found everything perfectly clean and comfortable. The house is well furnished and it is a bonus that each bedroom has its own bathroom. Beds were comfortable and cozy in the cold weather. The kitchen had everything we needed. There was plenty of hot water for showering. The view and atmosphere was wonderful. We would definitely recommend and definitely stay here again. Thanks for everything.
It's a very beautiful and well-equipped house. Very comfortable, neat and clean. Owners are very helpful and friendly. The house is close to the ocean. Highly recommended if you're visiting Hondeklipbaai. We had a nice stay. One of the best self-catering units we've ever booked.
We were so surprised by the location and the cleanliness of the house. It was a wonderful time and we enjoyed it a lot. The house is incredibly neat and everything was perfect. Thank you very much for a wonderful time.
