Wonderful place to relax and get away from the city. Beautiful landscapes and the ocean just a walk away. Great place to bond with family over game night!
It was very nice. I am rested.
We had a very exciting time. The location of the house was very close to shops, which made it ideal if we needed to run to the store. The property was very secure and safe.
Oh, my stay was awesome. Lovely place to be. Everything you need is there. We are so grateful. We enjoyed the pool, nice.
Peaceful and quiet!
We had a very nice weekend. Just wishing we had more of our time.
We as a group (8 people) enjoyed ourselves at Smooth Sailing. The house was tidy and everything we needed was there. The pool was also pretty clean. I would definitely recommend Smooth Sailing.
Lovely, good service, comfortable-sized rooms, 5-minute walk to the beach, very safe.
The stay was very nice. The house is very well equipped. I enjoyed the indoor braai, and all the extra bathrooms are a plus. Entertainment was also good with Netflix, DStv, and WiFi available. The pool was not very clean, and the cover was not very practical. The house could do with a proper clean, but other than that, the place was great. I would recommend it to a family with kids anytime.
The place was not pet friendly as we had to constantly look out for our dogs when left in the garden. No proper ventilation for the weather that we experienced. There was only one fan in the main bedroom and it was connected with the other light in the room. There was only one teaspoon in the whole house. The glasses were not properly washed even though the cleaning person was there before we checked in. The internet only worked for the first day and then it was unavailable. What was written on the welcome sheet about the TVs in the house was incorrect; the top bedrooms, including the main bedroom, did not have only Netflix on them; they only had DStv, which wasn't working due to the host not paying their account. We therefore watched no TV and had to figure out a plan to somehow connect to the TV so that we could watch something.
Very nice and peaceful.
We really enjoyed ourselves.
This was my second time at Smooth Sailing. Will definitely go again. Very nice!
House is very spacious. Area is safe and lovely, quiet for soul and mind. Nice walk in the area and to the sea. Teenage boys really enjoyed WiFi and Netflix.
See stars.
We love staying at Smooth Sailing. It has everything we require as a family for a getaway.
Best sleep ever and view is amazing.
We will definitely go again.
It was very nice to stay there. Our car had problems and we had to stay 2 extra days. The owner was very accommodating and could still accommodate us. We would go again anytime. Thank you, we appreciate it.
Quiet and very friendly welcome.
The house was clean, bathrooms are huge, and the pool is smaller than expected, but serves the purpose. The area around the pool is smaller than expected, but the house space makes up for it. The estate is very safe and quiet.
The place looks better in person, and the pictures doesn't do it justice. Definitely looking to go back there.
The place is clean. The rooms are spacious and one feels safe.
The house is beautiful, but the pool is a splash pool. We thought it would be big enough for the family, but it's not spacious enough. If you're looking to get away from the busy city for some family time and relaxation, I would definitely recommend Smooth Sailing. Wonderful, thank you.
The photos are an accurate depiction of the place. The place is very neat and clean. The environment is peaceful and has everything you need. It would be a plus if the UPS worked.
The house is beautiful, the indoor braai was a game changer on the windy days. A beautiful area for long walks, but not much else to do so it forces you to unwind completely. We had a great stay!
Lovely 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom holiday house with a pool, which is in a secure estate. It is within walking distance to the beach. They were gracious enough to allow us to check in early, and the check-out time was at 14h00, which was awesome. The house has everything you need and more. The only downside was that the place was not fully prepared by the time we arrived. Other than that, I would definitely recommend you stay there.
Would definitely recommend this place.
I would definitely visit again.
We were kindly received. Unfortunately the WiFi didn't want to work at first, but the owner contacted the service provider and they sorted the problem.
We had a great stay! We were a family of 8. Our father is almost 80. Our only problem was that the sofa in front of the TV cannot take 8 people to sit and watch TV. We couldn't all sit around a table and eat either. It's a bit difficult to walk up with food and plates to sit upstairs and eat.
The house stay was great, just that it was not very clean. We could not use the showers as they weren't cleaned properly. There was hair in them and they just looked like they needed cleaning. Guests also need to be notified that the garage is not available for use. The basin on the right side of the main bedroom was out of order and we were not notified. We could not cover the pool as the cover was stuck somehow. We ran out of electricity on Sunday morning, so we had to buy R50 worth. People in the estate are friendly, and so is the caretaker. We all enjoyed the beach, which is about 100m away. We walked.
Stay was very nice, calm atmosphere and a great host but the house needs a proper spring clean before guests arrive. Also would have been appreciated if we were advised of the leak in the roof (had to get up in the middle of the night to mop the stairs to avoid someone seriously injuring themselves). The headboard in the one room was also broken, could have attempted to fix it before our arrival or advise of same.
The house was booked by us again because its layout is good and beautiful, so I really recommend people. You will not make a mistake. Owner, she is a topper.
We loved our stay here. The house is amazing and has more amenities than we could ask for on a holiday. St Helena is also a great town if you prefer a quieter holiday destination. Definitely going to stay there again.
It was a nice break, we all really enjoyed it.
The house was much bigger than the pictures looked. It's in a beach estate which made us feel safe and secure. It was so peaceful, so the perfect escape to relax and unwind. We were allowed to bring our little pet dog by arrangement and the estate was lovely to take her for morning walks. Nice little pool for hot days and indoor and outdoor braai area. The rooms were really spacious. We will definitely be returning in the future.
The house is beautiful and big for a big family. There were games for kids to play with. Kids enjoyed the pool.
Enjoyed our stay and shall definitely return again.
The house is amazing, I will go again.
The place was very neat, everything you need was available. It was very convenient to be there. We certainly enjoyed ourselves.
This place is worth your money!
Travelling with family and meeting everyone's needs and expectations can be difficult, but Smooth Sailing definitely ticked all the boxes. Each room has extra blankets and mattresses, so plenty of extra sleeping space available, especially for kids. The house was neat upon arrival and the sailor theme throughout the house adds to the mood and tranquility of a seaside stay. The kitchen is well equipped with about everything that you need.
It was peaceful, relaxing, no busy city life. Walks on the beach, sitting on rocks for hours. Would recommend Smooth Sailing.
The house has a lot of space and is very nicely furnished. The children especially enjoyed the pool. The view from the balcony is breathtaking. We really enjoyed the sea air in the mornings. I would recommend either one to escape to for a few days afterwards. We soon found the house and got the keys from the neighbors. This is definitely a must come again for our family.
We really enjoyed it, the house was tidy, everything you need was there.
Everyone is friendly and it's a very peaceful place.
Smooth Sailing is a beautiful place and a very nice place. It is in a beach estate but very nice, it exceeded my expectations. I loved everything about Smooth Sailing and everyone is friendly.
Smooth Sailing has been a very nice and nice place. We had a very nice stay.
House was bigger than it looks on photos and there is everything in the house that we make, thank you.
Beautiful house, fully resourced and equipped. Very clean so much more than self catering generally offers and it exceeded my expectations. I can't boast enough. Smooth sailing is situated in a safe beach estate. The neighbours are not very close property wise but very friendly. A local Spar is close for shopping. It's beyond value for money. The surrounding is soo therapeutic. You won't regret it. Then support provided throughout your stay for anything needed. It's managed very well.
Loved everything about it.
The stay was absolutely amazing. We would definitely go back. Everything we needed was there or could be purchased at the local store. The neighbour was so friendly when we arrived and when we left. I would visit again just to see her again. The pool was a little smaller than we thought and the lights in the shared bathroom upstairs were not all working, so the light was a little dim, we used our phones for extra light. But it wasn't a big deal, the kids enjoyed bath time. Ample cupboard space and the dishwasher was a time saver. Nobody needed to stand in the kitchen cleaning up. The beach was within walking distance and I loved the pool cover, especially for my son, he is 4 and I could cover the pool for his safety.
We, as a family, really enjoyed our time at Smooth Sailing, swimming and barbecuing.
Customer service is excellent. Area is perfect, house is definitely worth it.
Thoroughly enjoyed!
Thank you so much, we had a peaceful, relaxing, amazing four day break. The house has everything you need. The booking process and service was super efficient. A big thank you to all involved.
It was everything that we expected we had a great weekend away.
Hospitable and friendly.
It is a wonderful place. The team was very friendly.
Very nice holiday home with everything you need and more. Very comfortable and very nice house to relax. House's decor is very beautiful and modern.
The house was beautiful and neat, would love to visit soon, would recommend to anyone who would love a comfortable breakaway.
Smooth Sailing comes highly recommendable, we will definitely be back to enjoy another memorable weekend getaway.The owner was most accommodating and welcoming, the house literally has everything that you would need. You don't have to bring anything from home. She even had a Christmas tree, that's how amazing this house was.
Place is neat and the owner very helpful. Location is ideal. All facilities available, full DStv package and WiFi. Recommend the place.
Dit was aanvaarbaar in elke opsig. Het die swembad geniet en die feit dat dit windbeskut is. Dis troeteldiervriendelik wat 'n groot bonus was.
