It was incredible there. The cottages were super clean, new and renovated, cozy, and with absolutely everything you needed. We spent just one night there but we would have stayed for much longer there. The beach is less than 1 min walking and the views and panorama are just amazing. Every cottage got its own barbecue and there are bigger ones in the common places so it is perfect for stays with friends. We were travelling as a couple but the place is also great for families and also pet friendly. I absolutely recommend it!

Calm, friendly atmosphere in a stunningly beautiful location. It’s a pleasure to communicate with the hostess, who is a very interesting and multifaceted personality. Marisa pays attention to details to make your stay as comfortable as possible. There is an opportunity to be as autonomous as possible and at the same time use a common space. We had the opportunity to have breakfast and dinner overlooking the bay on a beautiful terrace. The room even included beach towels in a bag. At our request, Marisa gave us a beach umbrella and chairs for our trip to the beach. Very quiet. There were no power outages like in many places in South Africa.

    We loved our stay here. The location is incredible, the house immaculate and very comfortable with everything you would need during your stay and the staff were friendly and helpful. Hearing the sound of the ocean while falling asleep, feeling safe, walking to the beach for coffee, a snack, for dinner - all part of a wonderful holiday experience. We will definitely be back and make this an annual visit. Brenton on Sea is truly a restful and magically place to escape to.

    The chalet was excellent and the location was even better. From the balcony you had the most stunning view of the sea and the sunsets were amazing. The beach was a little steep to get to but beautiful with all the rock formations on the beach. It was a nice and quiet location even though we were there in the December school holidays. We loved every moment! We drove to Knysna to do some shopping (traffic jams wherever you went!) and were thankful to get back to our chalet for some peace and quiet. Location, location, location.
