    A very nice place with a local charm. That's obviously not an example of a shiny modern villa but everything was there, local architecture, panoramic windows, beautiful views (Yzerfontain got the best ones on the West Coast), a cleaning lady (which is super convenient for big companies), huge dining area with a kitchen, wifi etc Make sure you visit Rust in Thyme local cafe a short walk away.

    The property is situated in an excellent location on the beach.

    The property is in poor condition with old facilities. The bathrooms are in need of renovation and the pool is cracked. Additionally, the pool furniture is dilapidated, and there is a leaking roof. The facilities appear old, dirty, and worn out.

    Such a gorgeous home, and location. The hosts and house manager Aaron were wonderful and communication was excellent throughout. A true Yzerfontein gem. Cannot wait to book our next trip.

    We recently had the pleasure of staying at The Lighthouse in Yzerfontein, and it was an experience we'll cherish forever. The house's stunning location right on the beach offered breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere that made our stay exceptionally memorable. With beautiful decor and an evident touch of love, it felt more like a home than a holiday rental. The house was perfectly equipped with everything we could possibly need, from a fantastic kitchen filled with all amenities to the thoughtful inclusion of firewood for the braai. Our group of ten was comfortably accommodated, and we particularly appreciated the two separate units, each fully equipped with a mini kitchen and bathroom, allowing for privacy and convenience.Overall, we give The Lighthouse a well-deserved 10 out of 10. Its combination of beautiful design, thoughtful amenities, and a magnificent setting right by the sea made our stay unforgettable. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special getaway and look forward to the opportunity to return."

    While our stay was near perfect, we noted a couple of areas for improvement. The absence of a generator for load shedding was one, though it was hardly an inconvenience thanks to the gas stoves and pre-charged lights provided. Additionally, some minor wear and tear were noticeable, such as rust making a few doors difficult to open, but these are small issues that can be easily addressed.

    Hello Anton Thank you so much for such a fabulous review, we really appreciate it a lot! We are so glad you could enjoy the house and location so much!! And yes, the rust is an issue, creeping in all over the place, an on going challenge! But we will get to it immediately. And it might please you to know for the future, that we have a big converted installed now, to bridge those 'dark' moments... Go well and all the best, Andrej

    Loved the size of the house, loved the location the sauna the proximity to the beach the pool is superb. The house has a beach house feel to the interior which we loved .

    For the price we paid cushions is ezpected on the furniture outside by the braai area.. Maybe now Is also the time to get a few new cushions for the loungers by the Pool as it's a little bit dated . Other than that had a great time and it's a beautiful home with views for days ..

    Location, size, layout is perfect for family and friends. Wonderful size pool, right on the beach, watching sunsets from the deck. The beds are extremely comfortable, we all commented on how perfect the beds were .

    That some windows can’t seem to lock due to expansion of the exposed wood to the elements. The house had a burning wood smell especially in the upstairs room with the fireplace. The seagulls bathe themselves in the swimming pool leaving a residue, poop and feathers everywhere.

    Gorgeous location, peaceful, direct beach access, amazing pool and views. Comfy lounge with a big fireplace and ample seating for everyone, well equipped kitchen. Sauna is a nice touch especially in winter

    no outdoor under cover/ sheltered braai facility, bit exposed to harsh weather in winter and with load shedding one wants to be able to braai. Linen and towels a bit tired. Only one bathroom has a shower, the rest are tubs with shower hose extension.

    If I understand the review correctly, it would have been a 10 if the weather would have been good and no loadshedding?? In regards to 'Value for money' - guest got a 40% discount off the the low season rate; interesting observation: guests paying full rates and high season rates mostly give a much higher score for value for money than guests coming on a special. - In regards to linen: We do replace linen and towels regularly, usually once a year when the high season starts.
