    Very noisy neighbors and cold showers. No privacy and very loud highway too. Needs curtains as well.

    Nature based vibe which was great

    Kitchen - light switch too high. Cutlery not good. We kept on bumping our heads against the sharp stairs as close to it is the only working space.

    We cannot complain about ANYTHING. I would rather write some points that we wished we knew beforehand... If I had to book again, I would not go for cabin 3, as the sea view is really just visible if you literally stand at the window in the bedroom. Also it's nearest to the main road, so the serenity of the location gets somewhat disturbed. Oh and then, we left some snacks on the table overnight... BIG mistake, as we came down in the morning to a whole ant colony. This is probably common knowledge due to the location, we just did not think. Lastly, there might be some trick to getting the gas started at the stove. We left early and decided to rather get coffee on the way, but I know if I asked, the owners would be happy to assist, they were very attentive to our needs.

    We loved the location, the extremely comfy bed and the super friendly and helpful owners. They really went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed. As we arrived on a Sunday, they had to change the linen and clean the cabin themselves after the previous guests left! The cabin is very comfortable and had everything we needed. We did not end up using the hot tub, but that looked amazing as well.

    Nothing that I didn’t like, we just didn’t know we would be staying right next to someone else, we must have read wrong

    This property is gorgeous! We stayed in one of the four flatlets. The decor is very modern and the place is very clean! Not to mention the beautiful views

    Non of the facilities that we were hoping to use worked. The hot tub didn't work. The fireplace worked but all the smoke came in the cabin the whole time and didn't go through the vents of the fireplace, so it didn't work. The kitchen was very unpractical. The stove was placed under the stairs making it hard to cook anything. Also the coffee machine was very very dirty and non of the coffee, tea or sugar jars were refilled for our stay. There was for example 1 teabag in the jar. The place was also very dusty with hair like dust things that hang from the floating shelves in the kitchen. We paid a lot for what we got. We booked it for the cabin feel, hot tub and fireplace but nothing worked and the owner didn't even bother to give back some money. Also the we never saw the owners they only directed us where the keys were and there was little to non security.

    The cabin feel was fine.

    disappointed in the hot tub. After using 9 bags of wood with a total of 7 hours trying to warm up the hot up it didn’t get hot enough to jump in on a cold night. It would’ve been great if the staff started warming it up prior to our arrival at an additional cost. Our cabin was next to the main road which was very noisy with the traffic and our neighbours were having a lekker party which we could hear everything.

    The coziness of the wooden cabin, the privacy and the fact that you could braai on the Weber and watch Netflix. The cabin was provided with coffee, tea and milk which was a lovely touch. Everything we needed for self catering was there. The bed was so big and comfortable and the shower was incredible.

    A microwave would have been good to heat up the braai the morning after, but we managed on the stove.

    We had a nice time at Villa Keys. We were close to all the places we wanted to visit and enjoyed a nice braai on the deck.

    Its a shared house with very thin walls, you can hear every single thing from all the rooms next to you. The house is right next to the highway so its quite noisy and there are no curtains so the street lights shine right into the bedroom which makes it very difficult to sleep. Also had to use my own streaming accounts. Definitely not worth the amount charged per day.

    Owners are nice and helped out quickly when needed.

    It is very cold and only 1 thin extra blanket. There is no lighter or matches to make coffee and we are not smokers. You can hear every word and step of the neighbours, and it is right next to the very busy main road. It sounds like you are sleeping on the road.

    Nice path that leads up to the rooms. Trudy is very helpfull and friendly.
