Lindie is an excellent and highly communicative host. A cool and quirky little cottage/ house in a lovely part of Hermanus/ Onrus. Excellent value!

A home away from home when we really needed that.

10.0

Exactly as it looked in the photos, comfortable. quirky and very cosy. Lindie is an excellent hostess and was available when we needed to ask any questions. Such a lovely place to return to, with my daughter and dog, after a hectic house move. Thank you Lindie. You deserve a 10 out of 10 review.

Nothing, everything we needed was provided.

Wonderful breakaway for a family with pets in a laid-back area close to the beach.

10.0

When we arrived the welcome gift was a lovely surprise. The location was absolutely superb and we took some lovely walks to the local shops, restaurants, to the river and to the beach. The beds were really soft and comfortable and the upstairs area had some amazing features like the bathtub and ample bookshelves. The garden was much bigger than expected and the doggy blankets were very welcome during our winter stay.

More of a preference, but we would have preferred the TV to be in the lounge downstairs rather than upstairs. We did run out of hot water for showers on Day 3, which caused some stress, but thankfully the owner helped us immediately to explain how to switch from one gas bottle to the next.

Charming and comfortable

9.0

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was a super cold weekend but there was a lovely gas heater and hot water bottles for everyone. There were even dog blankets for our fur baby! Host is very attentive. House has a lot of charming character and a short walk to the beach. Lovely big garden for the dog. We enjoyed the games found in the cupboard for winter evenings .
