We had a lovely time at Trevor’s place even though the weather didn’t always play along. It is a huge, spacious house and could easily fit our family unit. The beds are very comfortable and clean.
Sunset beach is not even 5 minutes walk away and lives up to its name. The view from the top deck is amazing when the sky is clear.
There is a jacuzzi and sauna in the house, but it has to be noted that you have to buy your own electricity for the house. Within a 5-day stay, we spent approx. R1000 on electricity alone to keep the house going. The children especially loved the jacuzzi, but when the water runs cold, one has to empty the tub and refill it with hot water from a hose connection, which we didn’t always want to do. The sauna works very well but is also running on electricity.
Lyn and Roger were incredibly helpful and came by to help us with things that needed seeing to. The cleaners also came by and helped us with the beds and dishes which was nice.
At the end of May the interior of the house was already quite cold inside and there was no heating.
The kitchen could have been more equipped with pots/pans or a toaster, but we made it work. There is a dishwasher which we used every day, and a washer and tumble dryer downstairs, but again, you have to buy electricity yourself, and the units run out quickly when using these old machines.
The security at the entrance seems a bit daunting upon arrival, but they are all very helpful and friendly and we had no issues there. There is also ample parking right next to the house which we liked and needed with 3 cars.
Communication with Trevor and Lyn were great from the very beginning and we felt very safe in the house.
