Vrede Self Catering

Our Queen Apartment was excellently and modernly equipped. Air conditioning, TV with DStv, kitchen with fridge freezer and even dishwasher, a very comfortable bed, the lovely seating area outside with a view of the town of Strand and of the False Bay, really left nothing to be desired. However, we can absolutely NOT recommend the accommodation! What is not quite so bad is that driving in and out of the absolute ‘high security’ Boskloof Estate is quite annoying: the entry and exit is connected with considerable effort every single time. Above all, however, the hosts are very irritating, to say the least. The elderly lady present, probably the owner Maggie, was always desperate not to start a conversation with us, she was practically always on the run from us. And the owner, Craig, who only corresponded with us via WhatsApp, apparently wants to have his inventory replaced by his guests, because he obviously takes every opportunity to replace inventory that the guests have unintentionally soiled with new, better inventory at the guests' expense immediately and without giving them the opportunity for a discussion. In our case, professional cleaning would have been easily possible and not a replacement (if this had actually taken place at all!). Of course, we ended up paying for a much cheaper cleaning, but only after the South African travel company through which we had booked the accommodation intervened with the host. In any case, the completely unfair behaviour shown by the host can in no way lead to a recommendation!

Comfort in a wonderful natural setting Welcoming and comfortable with everything you require. Well designed and laid out room. Worth going for a walk up the hill at the back of the property, great views and birdlife. Beautiful natural setting for a rejuvenating rest.

Fabulous 5 star. Accommodation and location are excellent Second visit as stay as always excellent

Just want to take a moment to say we are in awe of this beautiful scenery. Just want to take a moment to say we are in awe of this beautiful scenery, friendliness and hospitality.
