Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Return to a special house.
This was our second stay at the Beach Cottage, with friends, because our first was wonderful and perfect for the beach part of our South African adventures!
It is literally on the beach behind the magnificent sand dunes, with a secret path through the bush , leading to magnificent views of the stunning Cape St Francis beach.
The house is so well equipped, clean, spacious and comfortable. We now want to bring all our own family to share the fun!

First inline for the Beach!
Tucked away in the beautiful sandunes of Cape St Francis, this beach house exceeded all expectations. The accommodation was fabulous. The view from the veranda was breath taking. All the rooms had access to the deck or the veranda. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes and equipment.
The deck had a wonderful BBQ/Brai area.
The house was close to a couple of good restaurants and a mini market for essentials although proper shopping meant a 15 minute drive to St Francis Bay.
A true Family house!
There is no wifi so either have Data or leave gadgets alone to enjoy the peace and quiet!!

Magnificent house, magnificent position
We spent a wonderful week at this piece of heaven. The house is so cleverly designed and the downstairs outdoor area is pure genius - completely protected from the Eastern Cape winds, with built in couches to lie on and a beautiful braai area. There is an outside shower, as you come off the beach - it has hot and cold water and even somewhere to hang your towel! Beautiful bedrooms, magnificent position, close to everything. We will definitely be back.

Beach holidays are best ... even in South Afican winters
We loved the location of the house, which meant that our son could wake up and "check the waves" from our spot! You are literally on the beach and the winter sun warms the house by day and the cosy fireplace does the job at night. The surf was epic during our stay and we all got to enjoy a fantastic holiday in a very well equipped home with an incredible entertainment area! No doubt we will be back!

Perfect beach house
This house is tucked into the dunes about 30m away from one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The views from the first floor deck are wonderful, and the outdoor bbq and built in sofas nestling under the milkwoods on the ground floor are sheltered and fantastic for chilling out. The house lacks for nothing (comfortable beds and great sheets) and is obviously well loved and maintained. Really, book it, you won't be disappointed.
