    Everything in this villa is exactly as you see in the pictures. From the modern finishes to the location and the neatness of the villa everything exceeded our expectations. The owners kept on checking up on us during our stay and were extremely accommodating. We truly enjoyed our stay at Villa Songo.

    Parking was a bit tricky mainly due to the size of the vehicles and having multiple vehicles. Housekeeping a bit pricey

    The location of the unit, the nature surrounding it and the proximity to the beach. The size of the unit was perfect for 8 people and well equipped. Strong wifi and a tv in every room.

The aircons, washer, dryer, dishwasher and smart TV were awesome. The surrounding garden and outdoor facilities were also on point. We thoroughly enjoyed the location to the Estuary and beach

    We had an absolutely fantastic stay! The place is spacious, peaceful, and offers great value for money. It’s just a short walk to a stunning beach where we even saw dolphins close by in the morning—truly magical! The estate itself is lovely, fully self-catering, with the option to hire a cleaner for an additional charge. The hosts were exceptional, managing everything smoothly online despite being out of the country. There’s so much to do in the area! Although we visited Southbroom beaches to try something new, you won't even need to leave the estate’s beach—it’s that good. We were there during the sardine run, so swimming was temporarily restricted, but the experience was still incredible. The weather was amazing, even in winter. For adventure seekers, don't miss the wild boat river cruises on a nearby beautiful river. You also have access to the Estuary Hotel facilities, which is a fantastic perk. Overall, this was the perfect family vacation in a beautiful estate. Highly recommend it – 10/10!

    No complaints

    Property was clean on arrival, we had consistent communication from the staff throughout the weekend. The villa is a short walk away from the beach which was very convenient, lovely view of the lake. We also had games and books to keep busy when we were indoors.

    Not a biggie but 1 or 2 areas needed a little extra cleaning (fan extractor cover of the main bathroom and outside table on verandah overlooking the Estuary) but this wasnt a deal breaker and didn't take away from our stay.

    We loved the safe and comfortable homely setting. The views of the Estuary from the verandah were beautiful and so calming. Not forgetting the birds chirping and ocean in the background. Coffee on the verandah with the sunlight shinning through the trees was such a treat. The house was also well equipped for our needs and was the perfect space for our party of 6 (including 4 children under the age of 12). Multiple living spaces and more than 1 TV meant everyone got to watch what they wanted when we weren't out and that really made our stay exceptional. We also really enjoyed the fact that there were quite a few options to keep our kids entertained in the area. We wish the weather was a little warmer so we could've spent more time on the beach. Administratively: Check-in was easy and the host communication during our say was nice.

    A little slice of paradise. Absolutely beautiful setting with a view of the estuary from the verandah. The sound of the ocean in the background and a couple of minutes walk to the beach. The house is lovely. Well equipped, very comfortable and it feels very upmarket. The deck area offers a second outside seating area which is completely private and gives the option of being shielded from the breeze when it's a bit cooler. The local shopping centre is a 5 minute drive away as well as well as other amenities also nearby. The hosts communicated well and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable. Cannot wait to go back!
