Agapantha Room on the Mcantsi River

JudyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Linda welcomed us in the dark with a delicious homemade lasagne and Greek salad prepared for our dinner. We enjoyed an early morning walk along a grassy river path to the beach. Linda's place had everything we needed after a long drive. Tidy, comfortable, quiet, tea & coffee with rusks, bottled water ... even a washing machine! Thanks Linda and Rhett, we'd love to come and visit longer next time.

On The Deck a home away from home & on the beach

LucrichaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Beautiful home with a stunning ocean view. We loved the private beach and big yard for the kids to play. Mark was very helpful with my questions and their home was prepared for the unexpected loadshedding. The road leading to the home is in a bad state. If you have a lower car like ours it was a bit difficult to drive on.

Riverview Estate

JessicaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had an amazing time at Kerryn’s home. We felt so safe and couldn’t get over the stunning river view - managed to spot so many bird species from the balcony. The house had everything we needed and the pool was nice and sheltered when the wind picked up. I especially appreciated Kerryn’s excellent communication and willingness to help us move the beds around to suit our sick relative. Thanks so much for a special stay.

Ocean Crest Villa

JanetRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Lovely , relaxing holiday home ! Easy walk to the beach and the swimming pool was fantastic ! Very clean ! Would recommend ! The only down side was when we arrived it was pointed out that the back door couldn’t be closed or locked ! Although a secure complex, we felt very insecure , especially at night and we also had to take our valuables with us when we left the house for any time ! Should have been fixed before our arrival !

Chintsa East Beach House

JohnRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Bronwen, we had an amazing stay at your Airbnb place. We would recommend this place to anyone visiting the Eastern Cape, long or short holiday stay, large or small groups. The hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating and helpful with any requests we had. A two minute walk from the beach. We loved sitting on the huge deck with a stunning view of the ocean. Thanks again for a memorable weekend at your beach house. We will be back!
