Very Beautiful

"The place is very beautiful and overlooking the sea and the tranquillity of the place and its standard of cleanliness and all the supplies made for a great stay and staff were very helpful with power failures" Abdullah Alamaari


“We had an absolutely amazing trip to Knysna and Villa seaview which is a stunning property with spectacular view of the ocean . The house was extremely well appointed with everything we needed. The balconies were amazing and the fact that every bedroom has floor to ceiling windows gave the house wonderfully light and bright feel as did the open plan kitchen and dining room. The en-suites were also a bonus. Knysna is a great place to visit and we particularly loved visiting the elephants at the Knysna elephant sanctuary as well as the beautiful local local beaches. We would definitely come back to both Knysna if we are ever lucky enough to come back.” Khalid Zoman


The highest possible rating is given to this house! The house & decor are so beautiful, complimented by the full length foldable glass doors in each room facing the ocean. The house is enormous & can easily fit multiple families. There were so many surprise features that added to our enjoyment of our stay - ice-maker; wine fridge; 2 refrigerators; outdoor showers; yoga deck in the fynbos; boogie boards; beach toys; fire pit etc. The location of Keurbooms is so perfect as it is outside the hustle & bustle of Plett, but so close to access all the restaurants & activities and a short drive up in Tsitsikamma wineries & forest adventures, etc. The beach in front of the house is too beautiful & so private. It is a very short 1 minute, walk down the lighted wooden pathway from the house to the beach. I cannot recommend this place enough! We will be back - Krista van Zyl.


We had a great stay!

"A real treat"

"We really had a wonderful holiday in this glorious home, will definitely be back! Thank You! Clarissa Thirion


"Thank you for letting us stay in this beautiful home at The Ocean's edge. We walked on the beach, built sand castles, followed the dolphins and surfed the waves! The outside fire set a romantic scene against the backdrop of a vast empty beach. Unfortunately, the last day as ever was the best as we settled into this peaceful scenic landscape." Lloyd Family,Tristan Thirion, Cole H-M and Riley H-M

Beachscape villa is outstanding with breathtaking views to the ocean from almost every room. We felt at home at once and enjoyed the amenities of the villa very much. We appreciate the modern style of the house, which is meticiously decorated and fully equipped with state-of-the-art kitchen and the safe neighbourhood. The beach is wonderful, the Plett area very nice with good restaurants and wine estates. We recommend Beachscape strongly to families and will certainly return. It was a fantastic and remarkable family vacation. Uwe


Sea House - Beautiful, spacious and great location!

"The house is beautiful, spacious and has a great location with a stunning view of the Knysna heads. There is plenty to do and see in the area (although one should be prepared to drive, especially as the heads are a bit of a distance outside town). The house is well equipped and had everything that we needed" - Katherine Smith


Beautiful house, with an incredible view and access to the beach

“Beautiful house, with an incredible view and access to the beach. You can see the dolphins every morning and afternoon from every window.

We had a lovely family holiday!!!!” Marcela Fernie

Fabulous house!

Sea House

"We had a great time. What a beautiful home with amazing views. Thank you for sharing this house". - Khalid Zoman


Magical! "My husband and I spent 3 amazing days at Craighross in September.  Given that it was winter, we had the beach almost entirely to ourselves, and while the ocean was chilly, the lagoon just next to us was perfect for a swim.  From the front deck, we could see pods of Bryde’s whales in the ocean while enjoying a braai and glass of wine.  At night, the fires inside the house kept us warm over games (well-stocked in the house!), books and conversation.  We had made plans to spend our days visiting local attractions and towns, but once we got to Craighross we found it very hard to leave!  There are also tons of things to do nearby, from hiking along the beach to gathering mussels and oysters in the ocean.  Inside the house, there is everything you could ask for, decorated in a beachy, bright style.  The kitchen was very well stocked with cookware, glasses, etc., and our maid Constance was incredibly helpful.  This is an absolutely magical home, perfect for small or large groups, and situated in one of the most beautiful locations in the world." Emily Walsh

"This was the best beach holiday ever." - Linda Gale


"We had a great time at Lindsay Castle. The place is truly unique and has a wonderful charm and character along with its quirks. The rooms each have their own charm and wonderful views. The Castle is very well equipped even if it took us a few days to find some of the things - it made for your very own treasure hunt! The service was excellent from the booking and arrival process to the check-out. Thanks for a great stay - we will certainly be back!" Gordon Fraser


The team from Dav1es did a great job to make our vacation exceptional and Martin's place is a one of kind opportunity. We are even tempted to publish a gross, turn-down review not to let others in on the secret. What's the secret? - The location can't be improved, it's perfect. - The style and upkeep of the place is fantastic - The quality of the interior and the entire setup is all one can ask for We had a dream-time in Beachscape... And if at all possible we certainly will be back. Thanks again for everything and keep up the fantastic work” - Tom Debus

Wonderful stay at Home by the Beach

"We were all very happy with our stay at Home by the Beach. We have rented many houses in the past but rarely have we stayed in a house where everything worked–the kitchen was well equipped, the design and architecture of the house has been thoroughly thought through in terms of everything that adds value to the experience, from a Weber grill to comfortable indoor and outdoor seating areas. I found this house easier to manage than my own house! The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms had everything we needed for us as well as our guests to be able to fully relax. On top of that, the service Dav1es provided through Hadley and Jeanne was great, we felt in very safe and reliable hands and the guys were on call whenever we needed them. Can’t wait to return to this gem of a house!"

Exceptional service!

"My husband and I rented Lindsay castle from 14/01/2016 till 19/01/2016, and  we wanted to share with you the exceptional service we received.

Hadley was incredibly accommodating, friendly and professional during our
entire stay, as was the maid Shirene. They really went out of their way to
make sure we had the best stay possible. Hadley understood how important our
5 day stay at Lindsay Castle was and made it clear nothing was too much
trouble.

Shirene has such a happy nature, and is a real problem solver, coming up
with solutions even outside of her working schedule.

Thank you for hiring such fantastic staff, they made our stay truly 5 star." - Eloise & Johann

An escape to paradise!

Craighross Castle is without a doubt one of the most special places we have ever stayed. What a privilege it was to have such spacious well appointed accommodation in such a unique and stunningly beautiful location. While we were there the entire Noetzie beach was ours, and ours alone for most of the day, and totally deserted from after 5pm until mid morning (apart from a couple of residents in the handful of other beachfront castles and holiday homes). We were also treated to a magical phospho-luminescence light show in the breaking waves every evening, and one evening we took the kids down to the beach and traced luminescent footsteps in the wet sand!!
We were also treated to unbelievably crystal clear night skies with the Milky Way in all its glory ...the type of night skies you would expect only to see from a remote high mountain top!
The lagoon was also lovely and warm for swimming, floating on your back with castles looming up above you, evoking thoughts of Scottish lochs.

All in all an escape to paradise really.

The accommodation at Craighross was as advertised, spacious, luxurious and well appointed, with huge terraces on the top two floors looking out at postcard-perfect views of Noetzie beach and the sea.

Hadley was very helpful and always available and responsive on Whats-App when we had queries.

We would thoroughly recommend Craighross to anyone who appreciates a holiday away from the crowds with nature's beauty at its very best right on your doorstep. - Mike Hallauer

 

 


Lovely stay !!

We loved our stay in Keurbooms just to short 🙂 , And I have to say , your company is great. Hadley is an absolute star! Thank you. I am sure we will use your company in the future again. - Marlise de Vos


Incredibly awesome stay!

Staying at Cliff House has been incredibly awesome again! Thanks to Hadley, Carol and the Dav1es staff. To many happy returns of these days! - Christiane Neuman


A little piece of heaven

"What a wonderful few days. To spend a few days at the most beautiful of locations is something very special. This is the most beautiful, stylish, restful place I have ever had the pleasure to stay. Despite not having seen any dolphins the warmer atmosphere here have been entertaining invigorating and restful. The children & adults have laughed and drank, walked & rested. The fires each evening have been unusual and the local restaurants here filled us to the brink. I way much hope to return here and one day soon and want to thank you for providing a little piece of heaven."


Incredible!

"Thank you :]! We had a wonderful time in this beautiful house. The view is just incredible!" - Johannes Wicken


I wish I can stay here permanently!

"It is a beautiful house and the views are amazing. It is the second time we stayed in the house and I can definitely  recommend it." - I wish I can stay here permanently!

Spectacular!

“Incredible stay at Noetzie Bay House!”

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Noetzie Bay House.

The house itself is charming and the position and views spectacular.

The house is obviously well loved and this was apparent in the layout and attention to detail.

Miriam [maid] is an absolute gem and was almost kidnapped by one of our guests!

We were grateful for the ample wood pile and many hours were spent lounging around enjoying the view and relaxing in the warm living area.

The beds were comfortable and appreciated.

Our stay was splendid and we will most certainly return with families in tow.

Thank you for the efficient booking and again, Miriam is an absolute star! - Donette Juncker


Everything was Perfect !!

"We had a FABULOUS time at the Castle - everything was perfect

and we never wanted for anything - even Eskom couldn't get us down!
We had a wonderful 'family time' holiday and my son-in-law even commented
that he wasn't sure how he'd ever live in a normal house again!
Constance was amazing - am so glad we had h !!er services for the week!
It helped make for a relaxing holiday.
I'm sure we'll be back." - Patricia Castle, Cape Town.


Better than expected

We really enjoyed our time at your luxury apartment, even though we looked at your reviews and pictures before arrival we found your place to be better than expected, all the rooms were comfortable and the apartment was very spacious and as there were 6 of us we never got in each others way.

Hadley was very helpful and polite and was very welcoming, thank you also for the champagne and balloons on arrival, this was a lovely surprise for my Mum who was very grateful so thank you again. Hadley was also very helpful on checking us out, and we really did enjoy our stay and would give you a 5 out of 5 review.

One of the most private homes on the Knysna Heads.

Our stay at Cliff House was amazing! The house is beautiful and the view magnificent. One of the most private homes on the Knysna Heads. Would highly recommend it.


Highly recommended!

Had an excellent stay, amazing views and stunning surroundings. Highly recommended!


Overall a great stay

Stayed here for a week in peak season 2013. It's a nice house, the sun deck with little pool is pretty awesome. We enjoyed the large kitchen/dining room area and the rooms are all spacious and decorated well. A few cons were: no wifi, slightly dirty floor when we checked in, driveway is very steep and the jacuzzi is a terrible waste of a good room. Overall a great stay though!

 


Everything was perfect!

Richard, I want to THANK YOU all for the wonderful time we had in BLUE HORIZON - everything was PERFECT !!!  ....  it is an absolutely lovely place and we cannot wait to go back there again ..
It was well presented, clean and Hadley and Toykie were punctual and very helpfull - we will be back soon

Just as good if not better than the photos

We had such a wonderful stay at Cliff House. Our friends who were with us from England though it looked brilliant on the photo’s when I suggested Cliff House as our holiday rental and to be honest my friends and my family were so impressed and quite frankly the house looked as good if not better than the photo’s.

Living in the house was easy as it is such a well appointed home with very classy deco and with every home comfort one could need. The quality of the bath, pool towels and linen were excellent and extras were there if needed.

Cliff House gave us all the feeling - that one can truly feel the sense of a quiet, relaxed atmosphere, with the most wonderful and stunning views virtually all around, the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks an open bright and sunny home with loads of interesting spaces both in the home and out in the garden.

The house was immaculately clean and we had Carol everyday and that was fabulous. Carol is very pleasant and she worked and ironed very well.

We would highly recommend to others to have Carol every day.

Our only slight downside was that the pool was too cold to swim in, such an beautiful, huge and inviting pool but only good to look at. Still a great sight..

The Jacuzzi although solar heated also didn’t truly get to a comfortable temperature to enjoy.

We enjoyed Knysna and surrounding areas, truly beautiful to see, manny lovely restaurants in the area, great beaches, close to the airport, so all in all we all had a most amazing holiday in the comforts of Cliff House.

We would not hesitate to book Cliff House again and we thank all the very helpful folk at Dav1es.


Lindsay Castle

 

We had a fabulous time! I normally don’t re-visit places because we always want to stay somewhere new, however Lindsay Castle will definitely be an exception. My only complaint is that we did not stay long enough!

 

Nicola - Cape Town

Breathtaking beach

After a few hectic days touring the southern Cape and after a three-day safari,  we arrived to Craighross Castle with the intention of continuing our go-go-go pace but once we saw the breathtaking beach, the lazy lagoon and the stunning accommodation we had to rethink...sitting on a lounge chair with a chilled glass of something and taking it all in...going to sleep with the sound of the crashing waves as the tides changed.  We did make the trek up the 138 stairs...and then found out that for those of us wanting a little bit of a lazier route we could walk across the beach and up a little pathway to a lower driveway area - perfect!  The Castle is situated near enough to Knysna or Plettenberg Bay so if we wanted to get up and go we could.  We hired a driver to take us to the Knysna Elephant Reserve, went to Zinzi for dinner (twice!  that good!) but preferred to hang around the stunning accommodation.   

The living/dining/kitchen area and the many bedrooms with ensuites could easily handle a crowd larger that the five of us but it was cosy enough that we didn't feel like it was too big.

We decided to hire a chef to fill our fridge with food and drink and to come in and make us dinner on three of the nights.  The Castle's property manager, Richard Davies, was able to find us an excellent chef - Rhys Miller of Heath Cafe - who took the time to find out our likes/dislikes - even found the hard to source Limes for G&Ts!  Fortunately for us, the property also came with a maid who tidied up after Rhys's gourmet meals and we were able to stay on vacation mode - no cooking/no dishes!  The maid also did the housekeeping, made the beds and did laundry when requested.

If only it wasn't so far from Toronto...

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing

Dear Richard,
Where should I start?

I am blown away and the guests were as well. What a spot, what an epic view and what an accommodation which is put together with love, care and detail. We fully enjoyed our stay and it was hard to convince the guests that we have to leave!!!

To sum up:

Brilliant, already spoke to the head office and we will keep you very high in the books of suppliers, also when we get international business guests! The maid was excellent as well and there is not much more to say!

Absolutely excellent! Thank you very much for an unforgetable stay!

Kind regards

Fantastic family winter holiday

"Sadly coming to the end of a 10 day stay in your beautiful home by the sea. Stunning views from every windows, whales and large pods of dolphins performing daily, birds and butterflies, great food, made mostly in your kitchen, lots of laughs and relaxing in the jacuzzi. We even jumped into the pool just that one time so that we could tick that box! Fantastic family winter holiday. We hope to be back every year at this time. Debbie Cornell, Glen Water, Ty, Zoe and Dan Cape Town"

Fabulous dream

"Dear Carrie & Paul,

What a stunningly beautiful home you have created in the most perfect location, you must be very proud.

As for allowing such a dissolute crowd like us to stay in your fabulous dream is indubitably a most generous and thoughtful gesture. We are so very appreciative and albeit brief, we have had the most amazing time.

Thank you very much and we hope to see you very soon.

For the whole family

We chose Craighross castle for a reunion of our international family. There were fourteen of us and we stayed for a week. The location is easily the most beautiful place we have ever seen: lush, unspoilt forest on one side and wide sandy shore of the Indian Ocean on the other - absolutely stunning!

We had lots of plans of exploring the area and going to far away places like Cango Caves but once we got to the castle nobody wanted to leave and go anywhere else. There was something to do for everyone: younger children spent days on the beach digging and exploring, parents sunbathed or went for long jogs along the ocean line, grandparents spent time on the magnificent veranda enjoying the view.

The beach was deserted apart from an occasional couple or two and yet we felt completely safe. All of us came from various big cities and spending 7 days surrounded by natural beauty was incredibly therapeutic. The castle itself is very tastefully decorated, spacious and comfortable. In the evenings we all gathered in front of the fire in a beautiful living room and played games.

Being in close proximity to the ocean, the castle can feel a bit damp in the evenings but the easy to use gas fireplaces really helped. The management company were very friendly and efficient: all our luggage was transported from and to the cars, beds were moved to accommodate younger children, maintenance issues promptly attended too. Overall it was an unforgettable experience.

Noetzie Bay House, Noetzie

“ A truly unique spot! All the charm of a beach cottage with the comforts of a well-cared for holiday home. There’s room enough for a few couples or families looking to share.

Our week spent at Noetzie Bay House was one I will never forget. The breathtaking views were exquisite, both morning and night.

A fully equipped kitchen is perfect for rustling up those sea food dinners.

This home gives the feeling of “being off the grid” – staying here was a real treat.

Noetzie Bay House, Noetzie

We had a wonderful 5 nights stay at Noetzie Bay house in Dec 2014, the place is even more beautiful than I had originally remembered it. The house has the most amazing location, surrounded by Fynbos with incredible views out over both indigenous forest and the ocean. What stands out about Noetzie is the overall quality and health of environment, the amazing beaches and pristine lagoon allow for loads of exploration, and if you have the energy, access to some of South Africa’s best indigenous forest walks is a short drive away. We spent a couple of lazy afternoons relaxing on the lush lawns around the house and every evening gathered on the balcony for a sun downer to soak in the wonderful views. Noetzie Bay house is the perfect place to relax and recharge in nature.

Dear Richard,
I would like to convey my thanks to you and Hadley for your attention to detail in renting the house to us….everything was in perfect order and so very welcoming.
We loved our time there….the house is perfect for a family….so comfortable and beautifully furnished, and the kitchen is a dream….a pleasure to work in. I feel that a very special family must own that house.
The maids were so efficient and lovely……please thank them too from us.
And the views from the verandas??????? Well, it was very difficult for us to leave that little bit of heaven….such a well kept secret. It was one of our best holidays ever.
Please thank Hadley for all his assistance and patience….nothing was too much trouble for him.

We really enjoyed our time at your luxury apartment, even though we looked at your reviews and pictures before arrival we found your place to be better than expected, all the rooms were comfortable and the apartment was very spacious and as there were 6 of us we never got in each others way.

Hadley was very helpful and polite and was very welcoming, thank you also for the champagne and balloons on arrival, this was a lovely surprise for my Mum who was very grateful so thank you again. Hadley was also very helpful on checking us out, and we really did enjoy our stay and would give you a 5 out of 5 review.

No.1 The Meadows, Plettenberg Bay

We stayed at No.1 The Meadows in December 2013. What an unbelievable experience in the most beautiful rental property we have ever stayed in. Having come from a beachfront house earlier in the holiday, I was somewhat skeptical about the location of this property – but I was so wrong. When we arrived, I just couldn’t believe the breathtaking views from this house. It is truly beautiful! The green lawn and lush garden just added to the great setting. The layout of the house ensured peace and quiet and privacy for everybody. The house is exceptionally well equipped with only the very best of everything. My children just loved being in the estate and the freedom that it gave them to ride their bicycles around as and when they wanted, was such a bonus. The staff were incredibly helpful and it was great to not have to worry about cleaning floors and doing dishes while on holiday. We will definitely be back – next time with the whole extended family.

Cliff House, Knysna

We had such a wonderful stay at Cliff House. Our friends who were with us from England though it looked brilliant on the photo’s when I suggested Cliff House as our holiday rental and to be honest my friends and my family were so impressed and quite frankly the house looked as good if not better than the photo’s.

Living in the house was easy as it is such a well appointed home with very classy deco and with every home comfort one could need. The quality of the bath, pool towels and linen were excellent and extras were there if needed.

Cliff House gave us all the feeling – that one can truly feel the sense of a quiet, relaxed atmosphere, with the most wonderful and stunning views virtually all around, the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks an open bright and sunny home with loads of interesting spaces both in the home and out in the garden.

The house was immaculately clean and we had Carol everyday and that was fabulous. Carol is very pleasant and she worked and ironed very well.

We would highly recommend to others to have Carol every day.

Our only slight downside was that the pool was too cold to swim in, such an beautiful, huge and inviting pool but only good to look at. Still a great sight..

The Jacuzzi although solar heated also didn’t truly get to a comfortable temperature to enjoy.

We enjoyed Knysna and surrounding areas, truly beautiful to see, manny lovely restaurants in the area, great beaches, close to the airport, so all in all we all had a most amazing holiday in the comforts of Cliff House.

We would not hesitate to book Cliff House again and we thank all the very helpful folk at Dav1es.

We’ll be back

 

We had an absolutely fabulous stay at Home on the Beach!

 

The house is very, very comfortable, spacious, luxurious, secure and extremely well equipped for all needs! The interior and outside decor is very stylish and there is much attention to detail! We had such a beautiful ocean view and the surrounding areas are so peaceful and charming! We loved that the beach was at our doorstep with direct access from the pool deck!

 

Home on the Beach will definitely see us soon!! Thank you very much!

Again, thanks very much for a fabulous stay. The amenities, the view, the deck, the braais, the beach and Millie made it really hard to leave the place.

 

We will definitely be back!

Hello Anita and Marc,

 

I asked Richard to please send me your email address because I wanted to let you know what a great time we had at your beautiful holiday house in Keurbooms; Home by the Beach, where we stayed from February 23 to March 02, 2013.

 

This is not the first time we have rented houses in this area, in South Africa or in Africa in general, but it is a first time that we have stayed in such a fantastic house. In addition to its exceptional location, its sleek but warm and careful decoration in the least of I mean, that it transmits a kind of peace, tranquility, peace of mind. We recharged our batteries completely!
And happy surprise, your kitchen is wonderfully equipped! It recognizes that some guests will be good-food lovers! I love cooking when I’m on vacation, and I found myself in heaven! Facing wonderful views, more…

The world is vast, our list of travel too long, our time limited by school holidays of children, but we sincerely hope to have the opportunity to return to Home by the Beach for a few more days of rest in the future. It remains for me one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited.

 

The view from your terrace across the natural vegetation and the foam of the ocean became my wallpaper… a place of constant tranquility. I have just two small suggestions:- perhaps a telescope to observe the fabulous spectacle of dolphins surfing the waves in the morning? More details on where we can ride our bikes? Perhaps some bikes for us to use (although Richard told us that he could arrange this if he had some advance warning]? Finally – a last note to tell you that Richard was perfect throughout our stay; from our arrival all the way through to the time we had to leave, always pleasant and very efficient.

 

I hope that you get every opportunity to enjoy the beautiful place that is Home by the beach.

 

Sincerely, Laurence, Mauritius.

What a beautiful home by the sea you have! It has been absolutely amazing week here (and 2 weeks in Cape Town). I couldn’t have asked for much more! Great weather, a lovely family, wonderful food and even some evening entertainment from the drunken dancing Queen, Paul. Thank you for being so generous and making me feel like on of the family. I will be sure to accept another invite out here (without hesitation) should I get one.

Never sell this house! It is one of a kind!

And thank you Clarice for cleaning up and making the stay much easier for everyone.

Lots of love Charlie C “

Stunning views from every windows, whales and large pods of dolphins performing daily, birds and butterflies, great food, made mostly in your kitchen, lots of laughs and relaxing in the jacuzzi.

We even jumped into the pool just that one time so that we could tick that box!

Fantastic family winter holiday.
