A tranquil and relaxing stay, perfect for unwinding and spending quality time with friends.
Pros: The house exceeded expectations - even more beautiful than the pictures. It is spacious, spotless and offers stunning ocean views. The wall heaters in the rooms were a great touch for the chilly nights. The host was extremely helpful and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.
Cons: The only aspect that could use improvement is the upstairs bathroom tap, as it was a bit difficult to open. Additionally, just as a general note, the wind in Hermanus can be quite strong, and the house tends to make some noise when it’s windy.

A really lovely spot for gathering friends and family for a peaceful beach getaway!
Pros: The property is clean, accessible, and beautifully decorated. The view from the lounge is incredible (especially at sunset) and the location is peaceful. All of the rooms had clean linen and towels and the kitchen was well stocked in terms of cutlery, glasses, serving bowls, etc. We really enjoyed our stay at Suidersee Voelklip and appreciate the attention paid to making guests feel at home.
Cons: Although a minor inconvenience, we could not seem to find a broom at the property! It would be helpful for guests to have access to a broom and pan to do some minor cleaning during their stay if they wanted to. Our biggest struggle was with the company that manages the property booking - HostAgents. Regrettably, their communication with us was subpar, frequently taking up to 10 days to respond to our emails, necessitating follow-up emails from our end. As a rental management company, prioritizing clear and timely communication with customers should be a top priority. Four days before our trip, they provided us with the wrong property manager's information, causing us to contact the wrong person about check-in arrangements. Upon raising the issue, they offered excuses rather than simply apologising for the inconvenience. Overall, our stay at Suidersee was wonderful, but it's unfortunate that the booking process was challenging.

Pros: The home was kitted with things for entertainment like table tennis, cricket etc. There was ample space to sit comfortably The fire place is a bonus for winter. The kitchen is fully equipped Overall it is a beautiful home for a great getaway!
Cons: The only thing to not like is the house next door that blocks the stunning view of the ocean. (p.s. Not a dislike but just a side note: one of the photos was a little deceiving. It seemed as though there would be a balcony but it's just the lighting in the picture)
