31 guests' feedbackWe recently had the pleasure of staying at Festina Lente and it truly felt like a home away from home. The hospitality and peaceful atmosphere made our stay absolutely worth it. The location was perfect for exploring Onrus. We can highly recommend Festina. This is a gem that exceeded our expectations in every way. We will definitely return. All I regretted was the short time we spent there. The beds are deliciously soft, it feels like you are sleeping on a cloud. Another big plus is that my two four-legged friends could go along and they had so much fun exploring the yard! Many thanks to our hostess for making us feel so at home.
Very nice stay. House has everything one needs and is close to the town and the beach.
Cozy visit with adult family and their dog-children. The hostess went the extra mile to make every moment unforgettable for us!
Comfortable and in close proximity to shops and the beach.
Owners are very friendly and make a lot of effort.
Truly the best equipped self-catering accommodation. Apart from your food and beach towels, you really don't need to take anything with you.
It is a very cute little house with all the necessary facilities for a nice relaxing weekend. We were welcomed with a message on the table and there were gifts everywhere. Everything was neat and so artistic. Thank you very much.
A gingerbread house with everything you need and more. We had a great time. Thank you Lindie for your great service and kindness.
It is a lovely house with everything you need.
See stars.
Enough space for dogs. Good customer service.
Beautiful house in a quiet area in Onrus, walking distance from the beach. Positive point is that dogs are allowed and the yard is big for kids to play in, really value for money. House is clean and well equipped with everything you need.
It is a lovely house and everyone can enjoy themselves and relax.
We needed a dog friendly place and Festina Lente was perfect. The kitchen was small but well equipped. We enjoyed our time very much and would happily recommend Festina Lente.
Conveniently located, walking distance from the beach, the dogs enjoyed it too.
It's a perfect holiday home, one we definitely want to return to for longer than a weekend. Only recommendation would be for a covered braai area. There are so many good books, the sea is around the corner, shops within walking distance. Festina Lente definitely sees me again.
We had a wonderful weekend away. The first after having to endure Lockdown for far too many days, weeks and months! Festina Lente is a lovely holiday home. Well positioned and within easy walking distance of the sea and restaurants. The lovely boma braai was thoroughly enjoyed and the chilly evenings were enjoyed beside the braai. The beds were comfortable and the water was hot - very important in the middle of winter! We had a lovely relaxing time and were able to recharge our batteries. This really is a lovely holiday home and we look forward to our next visit.
Finding dog-friendly accommodation is quite a challenge these days. This was one of the best, with a safe fenced yard for the four-legged ones to play and frolic.
Festina Lente exceeded our expectations, a compact but well-designed house that is excellently equipped, wonderfully comfortable beds and bath facilities, comfortable indoor and outdoor areas, good books to read - also for the children - and a surprising collection of DVDs! The kitchen is somewhat small, but well equipped with a sophisticated hob and oven. Lindie as hostess is friendly and supportive and all her arrangements work smoothly. The accommodation is affordable. Highly recommended!
Festina Lente is a beautiful house, in Onrus, with the plus point of being animal-friendly. The plot is large and fenced, it is in a quiet, safe part and walking distance from the beach. Good value for money.
Festina Lente is a cuddly house, with a lovely outdoor play area. Tasteful decor with a nice homely atmosphere. The yard has enough parking. Dog friendly and will definitely visit again.
The loft area was lovely and the bath there was magical. The space was just the right size for us. The weather was awful and our baby got bronchitis so we couldn’t really enjoy it as much as we could have. It’s well located and adequately appointed. The house itself is charming and quaint and the grounds are big.
Had a great time. The place was close to the beach and there was a small playground near the house for the children. The living area and kitchen are smaller than the photos indicate and the upstairs floors cracked when you walk on them. There was no place to store clothes in the rooms. Could do with extra blankets and pillows, was very cold in the evenings. The upper living area "loft" was very well equipped with books and DVDs and could have a nice time there, but would like to suggest that better safety arrangements be made, especially with small children. The hostess was great and we could communicate with her easily. There was a lot of information available about the house and surroundings.
We felt at home. I really felt I could relax there, rest and I enjoyed my time there. During the reservation, I didn't realize that one side of the house bordered the main street and it was sometimes a bit noisy, but we were mostly downstairs because we were few people. I think if there are a lot of people, you will want to visit more upstairs and then the outside doors on the visiting side are not noisy at all, with a nice view of the mountain. The library was great and we didn't want to watch TV once. I will only take more people next time, for two people the house was too big. The fact that I could take my dogs with me (and know they are safe, with no way out) meant a lot to me personally.
Accommodation is ideal for a family holiday with adequate space. It is centrally located, close to beach and shops and area is quiet and pleasant.
Home away from home. Rooms are spacious and tidy. Lindie, owner very accommodating and extremely easy to deal with. Will recommend venue to anybody at any time. Beautiful home in a beautiful setting.
Beautiful house and place for a getaway holiday.
My weekend away was made extremely simple and easy with the host providing all relevant information required and free to answer any questions through email or Whatsapp. The accommodation was also ideal and easily a home away from home. Definitely would recommend to any group of people wanting a peaceful few days within driving distance of Hermanus.
We had an amazing time in Onrus. The house is very neat and had enough room outside for our huskies. The owner really went an extra mile to make us feel at home with the gift bag. We surely will be returning in the future.
Our hostess was personally available by phone and online from the first day and made us feel particularly at home. The location is close enough for the teenagers to the local beaches and pools and within a short drive to the Hermanus beaches, where my grandson sometimes chose to go surfing. The girls had fun working on their tans and enjoyed getting exercise by walking/jogging. I have been sitting quietly knitting and reading and recovering from back surgery! Have fun grilling/hanging out in the sheltered garden lapa outside!
Very nice place. Would happily recommend to anyone wanting to go.
