This house is beyond expectations. Fabulous for a multigenerational family vacation. Virtually independent lower floor suite. 2 families, 1 couple, 1 single, all had their own bathrooms.

Lux Garden Cottage Beach Aloes @ Brenton on Sea

BenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Our stay with Sonet was fantastic, our 5 border collies were accommodated due to the fenced garden in front. This was one of our main criteria. Thank you. The space was modern, well equipped and functional. Was great that the property had solar power backup should lead shedding have come our way. Well equipped kitchen with dishwasher and air fryer, microwave oven. Close to the beach although during our time there the walk way was under repair due to flood damage (municipal responsibility). Loved our stay and especially the peace and quiet and closeness to beach. Felt right at home. Great hosts will return

Had a great stay here, though it is just for a day. Beautiful location, great view of sea from Balcony. Huge Thanks to Maiette & Nadine - proactive with communication & with clear instructions.

Dolphin View Beach Villa

TillRating, 5 stars2 months ago
The house is simply amazing. It’s incredible to sit on the balcony, listen to the ocean and look at the raw beach with its amazing sunset. We also saw twice dolphins, so the name of the house definitely holds what it promises. The interior is so thought through and the house provides everything you wish for and even more. The bed h can be accessed with just a few steps and also the area around offers lots of cafes, restaurants, hiking trails and beautiful nature. Marli is also a great host who was accessible and reacted super fast. Everybody who looks for a stop at the garden route, I can only recommend to stay here
