56 guests' feedbackI can highly recommend this accommodation. It was incredibly nice to go home here. The owners made so much effort for us. Nothing was missing. There was even a kayak to keep our 13 year old son occupied. For safety, he was given a life jacket to be safe on the kayak. The restaurant on the other side of the lagoon, "Daai Plekkie in die Weskus", has incredibly good food and very friendly staff. 10 out of 10! Will definitely see you again.
The host and hostess put so much effort into the unit. The detail that goes with the unit was amazing. It was such a relaxing couple of days. We could not have asked for better accommodation.
Excellent view of the bay, peaceful surroundings, well equipped and provided for all needs.
Fantastic weekend getaway! 5-star accommodation!
Awesome stay. Excellent accommodation with everything you need. Great location, as close to the water as you can be. We were able to watch our kids swimming from the veranda. Also, lots of small awesome touches by the hosts that didn't go unnoticed.
That was lovely, thank you very much.
The Living Water was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. The hosts were friendly and even added special touches like balloons and cake as it was my birthday. The beach is a quick walk away. Will definitely be back.
Quiet and peaceful and very well located. The steps to the beach are enjoyable. Clean and tidy with all the self-catering facilities one would need. Very nice view. Thanks for the stay.
Delicious, will come again.
We had an amazing stay, would highly recommend Living Waters. Pros: 1. WiFi worked well, which was important as we also had work commitments during our stay there. 2. Comfortable bed with fluffy bedding. 3. Sheltered porch with a gas braai. We were on the veranda all the time and enjoyed the stunning view. The porch is also nicely sheltered from the wind. 4. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. 5. The washing machine was a big plus. 6. It was a bonus for me that there is a tub and shower in the unit. 7. No shedding. Negative points: I have no negative feedback about this stunning unit. Will definitely come back again.
Right on the sea but sheltered from the wind, lovely patios. The house has everything one needs, and everything is in great working order.
Was a lovely stay. Owners were so friendly, and helpful, view great. Residential units so beautiful.
Amazing view, fantastic service! Would definitely recommend!
Thank you very much Jean and Eliana for your hospitality. What a peaceful place, so clean and tidy. We enjoyed it very much, and the children had fun playing on the porch and lawn.
Look no further. This is the only place in Jacobsbaai where you want to stay. Eliana and Jean are so hospitable and go out of their way to guarantee your comfort. The unit has everything you need and more. Most beautiful decor, neat and you won't find a better view anywhere.
Loved absolutely everything about Living Water. Hosts Jean and Eliana very accommodating and helpful.
We had a lovely, relaxing, soul-restoring holiday. The views were stunning and the hosts were very friendly. We will definitely go back.
Jewel of a place to stay with the perfect view. Beautiful, can't describe enough. Modern, clean and absolutely fantastic. WiFi just a problem.
Great & friendly hosts. Nice braai undercover on the stoep. Taking the kayaks out on the bay were great fun.
Photos cannot truly describe the beautiful view. House has everything you might need. Owners very hospitable and helpful. Will book there again.
Would definitely recommend Living Water for a family with children. Most beautiful sunset. Wifi reception was a bit weak.
What an amazing place, everything you need and walking trails for the feet and soul. Place where you feel safe and don't even know about loadshedding. Jean quickly made us feel welcome and showed us everything nicely. The residence was super neat and felt like home. Living Waters will see our family again.
I would definitely recommend a stay at Living Water to anyone looking for an oasis of rest for the soul.
As described and seen on the website, Living Water has the most spectacular sunsets and view over the bay. Highly recommended.
Our holiday accommodation met all our expectations! The holiday home is well and neatly equipped with, among other things, a lovely old door, mirror frame and the most beautiful chandelier in the master bedroom. Our teenage daughter enjoyed the hammock on her porch and her privacy, while my husband and I reveled in the view from the upper porch. We loved spending time there especially watching the incredible sunsets. Our host, Jean, was very friendly and accommodating and shared all kinds of tips with us about the area, restaurants and hiking trails. We only regretted that we could not spend more time there. I would recommend Living water to anyone who wants to relax in nature and recharge their batteries.
The accommodation is top notch. Extremely well endowed with taste.
Very nice place, peace and quiet. Amazing view of the sea and incredibly hospitable owners. Definitely going back again.
See stars.
Lovely getaway spot with all the necessary facilities. We'll definitely be back and would recommend it.
This place exceeded our expectations! Definitely worth it and highly recommended!
Upon our arrival we were received with such warmth and kindness. The owners, Jean and Sanet, are both a fantastic host and hostess. People of the heart in marrow and bone! They were so helpful and nothing was too much to ask. Small treats from shower gel in the bathrooms, sweets for the children, a packet of biscuits in the kitchen to firewood already packed, just ready to light, were so truly appreciated! The residential units are wonderfully spacious, tastefully and modernly furnished. The kitchen has everything you need. The decor with attention to the finer details really impressed us. The washing machine was definitely a big bonus! Breathtaking views of the sea right in front of you, as well as from the top unit's balcony, was a special experience. It was absolute rest for the heart and soul. Everything was perfect! The hammocks are undoubtedly an asset. We had a great time relaxing in it. It was the best, friendliest service we have ever experienced on a holiday. With a perfect location that is literally a few meters walk to the beach it is sure to become a favorite holiday destination and we can't wait to go back to the beautiful place. We had a great time on the stoep and rested. Living Water has truly exceeded our wildest expectations and is without a doubt recommended with the highest praise. We'll see you again in December!
The decor and attention to detail are top notch with all the necessities one needs. The hammocks are wonderful for relaxation and then the beautiful view. I would also like to get Sanet's recipe for the biscuit that she put in the coffee supplies for us, what a nice way to wake up with a biscuit. Overall we will go again for sure.
When you're tired of the city rush and just want to be human again, the combination of Living Water's tranquility, stylish accommodation and breathtaking views can hardly be beat. Thanks to Sanet and Jean for their hospitality and contribution to an unforgettable 5 days! We'll be back for more next year.
Very modern. Good views and location and can be highly recommended. Will definitely visit again. Thanks Jean and Sanet.
We booked the upstairs unit for two people, which has a large balcony overlooking Jacobsbaai - arguably the best view in the village! Waking up to the gentle sound of the ocean at your doorstep really is priceless! The accommodation is tastefully furnished with great care. The kitchen is well-equipped, even for a longer stay and the unit also has a washing machine (although we did not use it). When we arrived, even the wood in the BBQ area had been set up - all we needed was to strike a match to light the fire. Bathroom had travel-sized shower gel. The huge bed was super comfortable and there was ample extra bedding, a hairdryer, iron, TV. Having Wi-Fi was also very useful for us, seeing as we don't live in SA and therefore don't have local sim cards/data. Sanet and Jean were faultless hosts and by the end of the weekend we felt as if we were visiting friends. I sincerely recommend this place. We had initially booked two nights, but stayed for an additional night because we simply did not want to leave.
We stayed here for 1 week on the top floor. This is an incredible house and home where you can stay very comfortably and comfortably, it's 5-star accommodation. Very tasteful and stylish finishes, with the best sea views. Just 2 possible suggestions (but does not affect the quality of stay or review): 1. a braai on the upper balcony even if it is detached would be very nice; 2. WiFi signal is very weak upstairs. Can recommend Living Water any day, and will definitely want to visit again in the future! Jean and Sanet are great people and make you feel very much at home, and can give good advice about the area.
Living Water in Jacobs Bay was one of our most enjoyable family holidays. The cottage is perfect! He is clean, tidy (bedding smells delicious) and decor is so beautiful! The house is on the water, so we were often at the fishing water with the 2 boys catching fish! You won't get more beautiful views. Sanet and Jean welcomed us with open arms. See you again in December!
A Wonderful place, we will visit again. Excellent all around. I recommend the stay to any and all. Wish we never left!
Very beautiful unit with a stunning view, right on the water. The owners, Sanet and Jean, are very friendly, helpful and make a big effort. Definitely come back to this idyllic place.
We had a lot of fun! Living Water exceeded all our expectations!
House is very neat and beautiful. Very practical and has everything you need and more. Location is perfect. Nice kayak ride on the lagoon and lie on the veranda in the hammock and enjoy the beautiful view. Lovely walk along the sea with the winding paths and socialising on the stoep and resting.
Very quiet West Coast village for the person looking for peace and quiet, very centrally located so that other West Coast villages can be visited, Vredenburg and Saldanha are the nearest large towns to buy your groceries, only the most necessary milk and bread available in Jacobsbaai. The most beautiful sunsets over the sea can be seen here.
Fantastic breakaway to unwind and relax right next to the sea, beautiful neat rooms with stunning views of the sea from your bed, to wake up in the morning to the amazing sound of the sea. The owner, Sanet, went out of her way to make our stay as comfortable as possible! We will definitely be going back.
Very neat and clean with an incredibly nice location and breathtaking view. Ideal place to relax and get away from busy city life. Would recommend to any person. Definitely see you again in the near future.
We will vacation here again and again. A rest for your soul and discovery of a little paradise. Unspoilt, wonderful people and a definite holiday destination where you can take countless beautiful memories home with you. Thanks to Jean and Sanet Nel for your hospitality, we definitely met people of our hearts!
This is a beautiful, very comfortable unit with an amazing view and location. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Incredible value for money and truly an experience.
Living Waters is an amazing place to stay with absolutely the best service. The accommodation is awesome with a great deal of detail and a real home away from home feeling. Everything from the linen used on the beds to the amazing patio outside was perfection. The owners are devoted, caring and very helpful. The view is even better in real life than on the photos! I will definitely without a doubt recommend this heaven on earth to any person!
Stayed over for long weekend. Great location. Lovely views. Great couple hosting us. Would stay there again any time.
Got a warm welcome from a friendly hostess. We were disappointed that West Coast Place was closed and deserted and really hope that this core of Jacobs Bay is filled by the right people.
Wonderful stay in Jacobs Bay. The unit is unbeatable in terms of finishing, cleanliness and location. Also equipped with everything you need. Very pleasant and accessible owners. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
The owners are fantastic. Guests can look forward to a great West Coast visit!
The flat has a very nice view over the bay of Jacob's Bay. Excellent facilities and friendly service. The ideal place to kick back en just enjoy the peacefulness.
Living Water undoubtedly has some of the best location in Jacobs Bay and on the West Coast for holiday accommodation. The living unit was an exceptional experience. The owners, Sanet and Jean, have succeeded in creating a resting place that makes it difficult for you to go home. They were very concerned about us and nothing was too much to ask. We were very impressed by the peaceful and unobstructed view of the sea and the tasteful and practical way in which each room is furnished. We have no doubt that Living Water will soon become a favorite destination on the West Coast. We have already booked again for 2018!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Living Water. The location is perfect, and views are amazing. Jean and Sanet were very welcoming and helpful, and everything is and looks exactly as advertised. The house is equipped with all the essentials, and is only a short walk away from a lovely restaurant on the beach. We had such a relaxing stay, and have already booked our next trip to Living Water in 2018. We can’t wait to go back.
Reception from Sanet and Jean was very friendly. Very neat place, very nice to watch the sunset from the balcony, very peaceful, we really enjoyed it! Will definitely go back!
Reception by the hosts were very friendly. The unit is spacious and tastefully furnished with unexpected treats. This is the ideal place to come back to earth and get familiar with the beautiful nature and tranquility. Would definitely return!
