    Not much not to like, but the adjoining sliding doors were a bit distracting for the dogs if they hear or smell others on the other side, but it was not a train smash.

    The fact that it was right by the beach & we could just walk the dogs out the gate for beach access

    We were very aware of the owners of the house — heard their tv all the time. We had to park our car on the street outside the property. The pillows were flimsy and thin, but then this seems to be the case in most rental accommodation.

    Loved the sound of the sea so close and the view just over the dune. Loved how dog friendly it was— with a water bowl ready, treats and gates and fences. Safer than other West Coast towns, it seemed. Flat is well equipped with an inverter for loadshedding.

    We parked directly outside the property on the road, not inside the locked compound. However, it was a safe neighbourhood. There is virtually no MTN reception in the area, Vodacom is the one to use! Quite a long walk to your private entrance.

    Very attentive friendly helpful and knowledgeable hosts. Plenty of information given in advance. Private entrance with a wonderful view of the sea. A very cold wet winter but there was a large gas heater to keep us warm during the load shedding. Unfortunately that created condensation in the cold weather. Wonderfully well equipped kitchen. Plenty of tea towels. Good quality bed & bathroom linens. Hosts were very generous to change hubby's towel more frequently. We were given a clothes-airer as soon as we asked. Very reasonable laundry at the entrance to the village which does a great job for a very fair price. A great stay with SO MUCH to do and see...

    Lovely location. The king size bed was extremely comfortable and the electric blankets, an added bonus as it was extremely cold, due the time of year. My dachshund had a wonderful time, with us being able to access the beach so easily. Hosts are very attentive towards small details. I will be returning guest.

    The facilities were clean, comfortable and ample for a couple. Kitchen is well stacked with any utensils you may need. It truly is pet friendly and safe for pets. There were biscuits and treats for the dogs as well as rusks and treats for the humans. The cottage is ideally situated very close to the sea for walks. We felt safe there.

    Everything was perfect!

    We absolutely loved our stay at Mossel – the Gem of Yzerfontein! 🌊 The place was exceptionally clean, and the view—combined with the short walk to the beach—was simply amazing. It truly made for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. We will definitely recommend it to friends and family, and we’re already looking forward to coming back! Thank you for making our visit so memorable!

    The location is the best, and the fact that there is a closed in area for pets. Lovely manicured lawn, which doggies LOVED, just sitting on the grass and enjoying the nature. Simple but perfect! Has everything one would need for a beach stay and many extra's, Doggie treats, sweeties, and Wine to choose from with an Honesty jar - great touch! Thank you!

    The fact that drapes hang over doors and windows with people right behind it. Weird set-up, lack of privacy when you can hear everything they’re doing in kitchen and listen to conversations. Loadshedding was also not great. Think a gas stove and light bulbs that charges themselves would be a good edition, and gas kettle

    For me, I found the toilet seat unacceptable it kept on slipping - not the right size worst of all was the fact that after dark outside lights burned throughout the night making stargazing impossible My partner who is very sensitive to smell complained about the smell of animals and the fact that the linen was all polyester .

    It’s proximity to the beach… The kitchen and leisure area …

    We've had a fantastic stay with an amazing ocean view. The flat had everything one needed and more. It is good value for money. As we were two friends on holiday together, there were two single beds available to accommodate us. Pet friendly apartment. I will definitely bring my furbabies along on my next trip.
