Unit we booked was like being in a basement...very little light...not much fresh air....infested with roaches. Don't think place gets fumigated because when cleaning staff sprayed the place....we saw almost more than 10 roaches come out....😵😵 Owner didn't have another unit to offer us....nor did he want to refund us in full...we booked for 6 nights, but stayed for only 2 and was only refunded for 2 nights. 

Horrible Experience!!!! 

GROSS!!!!!!!! The place was disgustingly filthy when we arrived. The bedsheets looked used and was stained with something unknown. There were splatters in the one bathroom that looked like blood and the cockroaches were everywhere. Outside the room doors there were bin bags which were open. The dishwasher and oven looks like it was never cleaned. 

Health hazard

Niall goes out of his way to make sure you have a great stay. The location is spectacular and the accommodation has everything you need. Perfect spot for sundowners. Have lunch at the Mediterranean restaurant Zest on the beachfront. Looks like nothing from the outside, but the food and ambience is great! 

Breathtaking views and great owner

We arrived late, but the owner was there to welcome us. 
The apartment was beautiful laid out with the most magnificent views from each window.
We found it comfortable and functional and a home from home.
Thank you Niall for being so welcoming and helpful. 

Fabulous place to stay

We had booked the Presidential Suite for 2 weeks from 7 to 20 April 2019 and chose this option from the description provided on the website. We were disappointed to find that there were in fact only 2 proper bedrooms and 1 useful full bathroom. Bedroom 3 did not have a Queen size bed as indicated but 2 single beds and the en suite appeared to be an after thought which was cramped and you bumped your head in entering. Bedroom 4 was a study that a small bed had been squeezed into. Bedroom 2 had a cramped en suite that had a basin at a strange height and a small open shower. I had sent the owner Niall a message mentioning that the centre light over the dining room table had no cover exposing the wiring and bulbs, the cupboard door below the eye level oven fell off and that the single bed in bedroom 3 is unstable and rocks. He came over within a few minutes and started to verbally abuse us and shouted that we are ungrateful and he knows what type of people we are!!? I am not sure if he had been drinking but this was no way to treat his guests. The next day we had a meeting with him to try and resolve the issues and in that meeting had to ask him to curb the swearing, the relationship was a bit better after we had discussed the issues. The cleaners tried their best to get rid of the many cockroaches running around and it appeared as though the roaches were living in or behind the dish washer. This apartment is also not suited for people who have difficulty with steps, there are 5 levels to negotiate and slippery when wet, at night there is limited lighting on these steps, be warned. The view from the braai area is to die for and the lights from the Strand at night make for a wonderful setting.

Great View However Presidential Suite Not Up To Standard

7 of us just stayed here and it was amazing. The view every morning makes you want to move there for good 😃
Neil (Crystal Palace fan🤔) who owns it is a nice man who looks after the place well. It's tidy clean n well looked after. Had a great stay (7 nights) well spaced and oh, did I mention the view 😂. It's got a communal pool but tbh the beach is a 10 min walk. Pukka!

View to a kill

We had a lovely time in this great apartment in Gordon's Bay. The views are stunning and Gordon's Bay is a small town with a big character! Some hidden gems in Zest and always a party in the Thirsty Oyster. The apartment was beautifully appointed and well equipped and a great place to stay to explore the Cape. You will need a car. Niall and Victoria couldn't have been more helpful. Thanks for a great holiday!

Great location amazing views

As nearly all places in winelands were fully booked we decided to stay in Gordons Bay. We had the "penthouse" apartment.  This apartment has two bedrooms, the main bedroom has a double bed but the bath is directly behind the headboard of the bed. Not that this is a big problem but it makes showering in the bath more difficult and on the photo's it doesn't show that the bath is part of bedroom. The 2nd bedroom has two singles and a seperate showerroom.
The living room has TV with satellite and a kitchen with most things needed (no dishwasher but it does have a washing machine) although it shows wear and tear, like the blinds  etc.
Big problem however was that the apartment has no airco (and the fans are to weak). Being the top floor this apartment becomes unbearably hot in the summertime. Even the evening breeze doesn't help to cool off the app to have a good night sleep as if you leave windows open you get mosquitos in bedroom and all blinds are banging against windows because of breeze so very noisy.
Another minus point is that there is no balcony or terrace connected to apartment. You have to walk out of apartments and some stairs downwards to pool to get to terrace belonging to app. So that is not very usefull.
However, the apartment has a great view of the bay and mountains, and is in high season not too expensive and it is clean.
For a good restaurant go to Waterkloof in Sir Lowry, great food and wines (book in advance) or Camphors at Vergelegen, 95@morgenster is not as good but still worth going.
Wifi is available but slow and not stable.

Great view but too

Although the views were stunning the property is not what its made out to be. There is a main sewerage line running through the house from top to bottom of the whole property. In the back room of the presidential suite the smell was unbearable to say the least the caretaker did apologise and said the valve on the pipe had not been closed properly and he so called fixed it (this pipe runs through the cupboard in the room) however the smell did not go away. Talking to other guests at the pool they all had the same problem in there units. The place was certainly not spotless, Dishwasher did not work, stove had issues as well as washing machine. We paid for a cleaning service and then received the caretake and his mother which just washed dishes floors and left(Not what we paid for) We were told that the bedding would be changed weekly which was not provided so had to do our own linen.
