    The accommodation is spacious enough to accommodate a big group and in walking distance of the beach. There is a nearby cake & coffee shop which is definitely worth a visit. Friendly owners & the best cheesecake!

    This was the first negative experience I've had using this platform, if I could've cancelled the booking without penalty I would have. Booking.com intervened and assisted with the dispute between myself and the host. The advert is misleading, they request the breakage deposit via eft before arrival not cash on arrival as advertised. They requested a cleaning fee which was not advertised. I requested well in advance to check-in at 2pm (as advertised) and was told check-in is at 3pm. The gas tank for the hob was empty on arrival, I was told to make use of the electric oven. They only allocated 1 towel per guest for the weekend. Certain areas of the house & cupboards are not for use so you see alot of bicycle chains which sums up the experience, unwelcoming.

    Property response:

    Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify a few points to provide context for future guests. Our listing has since been updated to clearly indicate that the breakage deposit is payable via EFT before arrival — this has become our standard practice for security and convenience. We acknowledge your concern about the cleaning fee and have now made sure that all additional charges are clearly stated upfront. Regarding the check-in time: while we do our best to accommodate early arrivals, this is sometimes not possible due to same-day turnovers or cleaning schedules. We apologise if this was not communicated clearly enough. We also regret the inconvenience caused by the empty gas tank on arrival. As per your request regarding the gas being empty: When we investigated the issue and checked the gas supply, we found that the gas bottle was in fact still full. Please note that the gas tap, located in the cupboard, is turned off as a safety precaution. This is standard practice to ensure guest safety and must simply be opened before use. Guests should also always check if the gas tap on gastank is open or closed. As for towels, we allocate one large towel per guest for weekend stays, but additional towels are available on request — something we will highlight more clearly in future communications. Lastly, Pearl Haven is a family-owned home and while a few storage areas are reserved for private use, guests have full access to all main living areas and amenities. We do strive to create a welcoming and comfortable space and regret that this was not your experience. We appreciate your input and are taking your feedback seriously as we continue to improve. Kind regards, Merlyn van der Rheede Pearl Haven

    The whole place is fantastic, perfect for a family holiday and safe for kids/ toddler twins. Bedrooms were a dream to sleep in. Bathrooms are en-suite. It is safe with ample parking space. View of the ocean from your bedroom and a skip and a short walk to the beach.

    No problems.

    I loved the view of the beach, and the beds were very comfortable. I also loves being so close to the beach.

    The Wi-Fi was not working so well, we really struggled with the connection.

    Property response:

    Hi Lee, I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us! Sorry about the wifi, you are the first to struggle with it. I hope to see you back in the future.

    Property response:

    Hi Vaughan, we understand your concern and apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, the strong South-easterly winds are beyond our control, and they can sometimes cause water to blow under the patio door. We are continually looking for ways to minimize this impact and appreciate your understanding.
