Not to be recommented. When one books a self-help unit, it means one cannot eat out every day. The unit we were booked for had a permanent renter. We were given the hotel-look one-bedroom/kitchen— we are still waiting to see the kitchen. There was a 1m x 1m table with a toaster and microwave, which also served as a work table. When we asked where the sink was, the lady ran inside her house and brought us a small plastic container. We had to fill water for the container in the bathroom. This is unacceptable and should not be advertised on the website. There was not even a bread knife. After staying at Swellendam in The Garden Cottage and Betty’s Bay in Streamway, you realize how unacceptable Alkantsee is. Also, no WiFi was available, which travelers need for business or otherwise. I will not recommend Alkantsee to anyone. In detail, the garden that is shown in the advertisement—we never saw it.

Pathetic. This was the worst place I have ever stayed, and I believe it should be brought to your attention. My wife and I arrived at the accommodation at 2:30 PM on Sunday to check in. We first stood outside, then the hostess, Beatrix Le Roux, came out and asked who we were. When we explained who we were, she asked how long we were staying. After the explanation, which I believe she must have known, she replied that we could not go in now, because she still had to clean the place and change the bedding. My wife and I had to sit outside in the sun for almost half an hour, and we were already tired after the drive and the heat. When we finally gained access around 3:00 PM, we discovered the following in the unit: The bedside lamp was broken and the fabric was hanging in tatters. There was no milk, coffee or sugar in the unit. We did find an opened tea bag in the cupboard, with the tea bags scattered all over the cupboard. No fresh water in the fridge. We were told to wait an hour if we wanted to shower, because the hot water cylinder was only being turned on at that time. One light was missing from the roof, and the wire was hanging out of the hole in the ceiling. No indication of whether WiFi was available. The floors were dirty and full of hair. The shower was dirty and full of hair. No shampoo or body wash. The television only picked up one channel. The bathroom door handle was broken. The toilet seat was dirty and broken, and there was only one half roll of extra toilet paper. There was no privacy outside the door of the unit—you are basically on the driveway and small porch that the owners also use. Their dogs bark incessantly when you come outside from the house. My wife and I are very disappointed in the unit that is marketed by the website as a "Rewards Partner". We will never stay there again and would strongly advise other guests not to use it.

Pateties. Dit was die slegste plek waar ek nog ooit oorgebly het, en ek glo dit moet onder julle aandag gebring word. Ek en my vrou het om 14:30 op Sondag by die blyplek aangekom om in te boek. Ons het eers buite gestaan, toe kom die gasvrou, Beatrix Le Roux, uit en vra wie ons is. Toe ons verduidelik wie ons is, vra sy hoe lank ons gaan bly. Na die verduideliking, waarvan ek glo sy moes kennis dra, antwoord sy dat ons nie nou kan ingaan nie, want sy moet nog die plek skoonmaak en die beddegoed oortrek. Ek en my vrou moes byna ’n halfuur buite in die son sit, en ons was reeds moeg na die rit en die hitte. Toe ons uiteindelik omstreeks 15:00 toegang kry, ontdek ons die volgende in die eenheid: Die bedlampie was gebreek en die materiaal het in flarde gehang. Daar was geen melk, koffie of suiker in die eenheid nie. Ons het wel ’n oopgemaakte tee-pakkie in die kas gekry, met die sakkies oral versprei in die kas. Geen vars water in die yskas nie. Ons is aangesê om ’n uur te wag as ons wou stort, want die warmwatersilinder is toe eers aangeskakel. Een lig het ontbreek in die dak, en die draad het uit die gat in die plafon gehang. Geen aanduiding of daar WiFi beskikbaar is nie. Die vloere was vuil en vol hare. Die stort was vuil en vol hare. Geen sjampoe of lyfseep nie. Die televisie het net een kanaal opgevang. Die badkamerdeur se handvatsel was stukkend. Die toilet se sitplek was vuil en stukkend, en daar was net een halwe rol ekstra toiletpapier. Daar was geen privaatheid buite die deur van die eenheid nie—jy is basies op die oprit en klein stoepie wat die eienaars ook gebruik. Hul honde blaf aanhoudend wanneer jy buite kom vanuit die huis. Ek en my vrou is bitter teleurgesteld in die eenheid wat deur die webtuiste bemark word as ’n "Rewards Partner". Ons sal nooit weer daarheen gaan vir verblyf nie en sal ander gaste ten sterkste aanbeveel om dit nie te gebruik nie.

Lively, lovely, relaxing, safe and peaceful. At our arrival at Alkantsee we were warmly welcomed by the owner and her daughter. Lovely, friendly and down-to-earth people. Helpful and kind all the time. I will recommend Alkantsee.

Beautiful well equipped secure apartment with fantastic sea view. Alkantsee was just what we needed to rest wonderfully, the apartment is very neat and excellently equipped, we really enjoyed the four nights we stayed there. Beatrix warmly welcomed us on arrival and kept in touch with us regularly, she is a wonderful hostess and we really appreciated her chat and recommendations of restaurants and the area. The apartment has a breathtaking view of the sea and coastline, we are already looking forward to our next visit.

Pragtige goed toegeruste veilige woonstel met fantastiese see-uitsig. Alkantsee was net wat ons nodig gehad het om heerlik te rus, die woonstel is baie netjies en uitstekend toegerus, ons het die vier nagte wat ons daar gebly het baie geniet. Beatrix het ons hartlik verwelkom met aankoms en gereeld met ons in kontak gebly, sy is 'n wonderlike gasvrou en ons het haar geselsie en aanbevelings van restaurante en die omgewing baie waardeer. Die woonstel het 'n asemrowende uitsig oor die see en kuslyn, ons sien reeds uit na ons volgende besoek.

It was short but definitely worth it. We had a very nice stay. Our hostess stayed in touch with us all day and that was reassuring. The place was clean, we slept well and were well rested. Thank you very much!

Dit was kort maar beslis die moeite werd. Ons het baie lekker gebly. Ons gasvrou het heeldag in kontak met ons gebly en dit was gerustellend. Die plekkie was skoon, ons het snoesig geslaap en was goed uitgerus. Baie dankie!

Slept well. We had a great stay at Alkantsee. We were very disappointed when we got there and found out that the braai area was not available for us (this was one of the main reasons why we decided on the self-catering unit). Fortunately, the hostess gave us a Weber to use in the driveway, so we could grill our meat. Not ideal - but grateful nonetheless. We should also mention that the shower's water pressure is not fantastic. Apart from the barbecue and the shower, our visit was very nice. We were warmly welcomed and the hostess went out of her way to make our time in Struisbaai comfortable.

Lekker geslaap. Ons het heel lekker gebly by Alkantsee. Ons was baie teleurgesteld toe ons daar kom en uitvind dat die braai area nie vir ons beskikbaar was nie (dit was een van die hoof redes hoekom ons op die selfsorg-eenheid besluit het). Gelukkig het die gasvrou vir ons 'n Weber gegee om te gebruik in die oprit, so ons kon ons vleisie braai. Nie ideaal nie - maar nogtans dankbaar. Ons moet ook noem dat die stort se waterdruk nie fantasties is nie. Behalwe vir die braai en die stort was ons kuier baie lekker. Ons was hartlik verwelkom en die gasvrou het uit haar pad gegaan om ons tydjie in Struisbaai gemaklik te maak.
