32 guests' feedbackAccommodation was clean and neat. Parking was safe. Near the beach. Highly recommended!
2nd time we stayed there and really enjoyed it. Clean, quiet and very relaxing. Just what we needed to recharge. Host friendly and helpful.
Very neat place with everything people need for a quick weekend visit.
Very hospitable, modern and clean! We will definitely stay here again.
Both Ian and Sian (host and wife) put in so much effort. Ian even helped with fishing lessons.
Very enjoyable. However, I just feel that checkout could be at least 12:00 PM or 1:00 PM.
Perfect spot for a stay over. Easy access to the beach. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed.
Is much bigger than it looks in the picture. Sheltered from the wind, cool in winter but a heater was provided to break the worst of the cold. Private with your own braai area away from the house.
Had a wonderful stay, short walk to the beach which is very untouched. Safe and quiet. Very much recommend it.
Visiting people should be arranged instead when there are no guests in the apartment, it felt disdainful. Had a nice stay, it was just disturbing to me that the owners were hanging out and barbecuing on the deck all Saturday. I would say that if you pay R1000 a night, you can probably enjoy the beautiful view and apartment in peace and quiet.
Quiet, peaceful, could see and hear the sea, nice decor. Pillows a bit hard.
The room has a terrible stench of mould, which the owner must have looked at. It made breathing difficult especially when the room was left closed for a while. Although the room was clean, the floors have not been washed beforehand, and all corners and under/behind furniture should also be checked. Cooking a meal is a bit difficult as there is only one gas plate - but we could use it during loadshedding.
Ideal for a holiday and close to the sea, with the most beautiful view!
Wonderful stay, nicely furnished. Very helpful hostess.
Fantastic place. Beautiful laid out and clean. Will definitely stay there again.
A security gate would be very welcome, then one could leave the door open and just close the gate and thus sleep nice and cool and hear the sea. Otherwise had a great stay and would recommend Nautilus.
We loved the place, only wish we could have stayed a night or 2 longer.
Was lovely to lie and listen to the waves breaking and take a walk across the road to the semi private beach.
Very cute place for two to just get away. Can definitely recommend it. With a nice treat on arrival!
Located near restaurants and hiking trails, peaceful atmosphere.
The quaint fishing village we remembered and expected no longer exists, with all the development of luxury holiday homes.
It offers everything you may need.
The cute place to stay offered everything we needed. It's beautifully and stylishly furnished and we were able to relax!
Everything at Nautilus was exactly as advertised. The place is ideal for a romantic getaway; everything is so comfortable and private. I definitely enjoyed my time there!
We loved the place, you don't need anything more or nothing less for a weekend getaway, it's safe, tidy and you feel comfortable. Will definitely come back again.
Neat, safe and clean. The basics meet the needs.
Great unit with everything needed. Unit is very cold, but there are nice bedding and gas heater. Hostess very friendly. The hostess sent a message ahead of time with the pin of the address.
Alles so netjies en nuut. Lekker geslaap, bed goed, en stortgeriewe ook goed.
Here's why I loved Nautilus: Enclosed yard means it's safe for your pet to run around off-leash. Clean accommodation. Free Wi-Fi. A range of books to choose from. Friendly owner who is available should you need her. Ample space to hang your clothes. Safe parking. A comfortable bed. Coffee and tea-making facilities including milk and bottled water in the fridge. A microwave and a two-plate stove with oven. The plates are super slow, though. The beach within walking distance of the accommodation. A safe little town. A modern flat-screen TV with a bouquet of TV shows from Netflix to Showmax. Tasteful decor. I especially loved that I didn't have to ask for the Wi-Fi password. The owner writes it on the welcome page left on the table and on the little blackboard held up by a wooden dude. Her welcome page includes a welcome list of recommended restaurants. Unfortunately, we were without electricity from 21:00 on Monday until just before 09:00 on Tuesday. The owner informed me that there was an earth leakage so they had to shut down power for safety reasons. These things happen and Yvonne apologized. I couldn't do without my morning coffee though. So they brought me some hot water from the main house so I could at least enjoy a cuppa. Much appreciated.
Very comfortable accommodation. Neat. Well equipped for a short stay. Thank you very much.
My daughter and I were on our way to Darling and had a quick stop over in Yzerfontein. The accommodation exceeded our expectations. The apartment has everything you need and is beautifully appointed. The big blankets and gas heater kept the cold at bay. Yvonne was a lovely host and the location was perfect for us. Only one thing. No adaptor for the hairdryer. We will be back! Oh, and complimentary wine and rusks!
Everything you need for a peaceful, comfortable short stay. It's a long way from the restaurants and shops, but many will prefer that. Yvonne is a pleasant, caring hostess and the accommodation gives enough privacy.
