"Close to nature"

"I've read certain reviews complaining about the lack of luxury at this cottage. That is not what this cottage is about. It is about being close to nature, peace and quiet, a short walk to the beach and river, fishing and the amazing bird life in the milk wood tree right in front of the cottage. Kobus and Stella are the most friendly and generous hosts. Kobus even showed us how to pump bloodworms for bait and advised us on the best spots for fishing. There is everything we needed in the cottage. If people are looking for luxury there is a pricey up market hotel across the river. We had a wonderful time and intend to go back. "

"Nice cottage in pieceful environment"

"If you like simple accomodation in a beautiful and pieceful environment beyond the touristic maintream then you are at the right place! "

"Attractive cottage on banks of Breede river - too close to main house"

"The cottage is attractively decorated and nicely situated on the banks of the Breede river. Unfortunately, our visit coincided with a large, extremely noisy group staying in the adjacent house which is 5 m away and has an entrance right next to the patio in front of the cottage. The reviews had mentioned peace and seclusion and that was our expectation. So I would recommend checking if the owners have a big group in the main house before booking. In addition, having to take own bedding and make beds when you get there is less than ideal if you're coming for a quick break. Otherwise the location is nice and the cottage is pleasant."

We had a fantastic time at Strandlopertjies in January the 11thÐ 17th2016. The weather was great and the river was teaming with life. We enjoyed a selection of fish, mussels and crabs fresh from the river/sea. Kobus and Stella were very accommodating and always greeted and welcomed us so we felt quite at home. It is quite isolated, but thatÕs exactly what we were looking for. The fishing was excellent along with the wildlife and scenery.'

"We had a very nice weekend at Strandlopertjies this past weekend the 5th - 7th of June 2015. It was very cold though, but we made sure to pack in warm clothes and blankets. However, I do think there needs to be carpets put down on the floors in the lounge area and most definitely an in door fire place, because the cottage is stunning in winter and it is a lovely getaway location for a weekend. The view is great, we had a lovely walk on the side of the lagoon, beautiful sunsets and sitting by the fire at night was a treat!"

"Strandlopertjie"

We will definately go back. Thanks Kobus and Stella for your hospitality and help with the boat."

Maybe some more hooks in bedrooms and outside for hanging wet towels, jackets etc."

"Strandlopertjies self-catering cottage is situated on waters edge next to the meandering Breede River. From your bedroom window you can watch the fishing boats sailing up the river and the twittering of little birds sitting in the Melkhout boom outside.

Want to go for a swim, walk or kitesurf, pop down to the beach which is right on your doorstep, no driving needed. If you are keen on fishing or diving this is also the spot to be!! Want to moor your boat? One can do that too. Infanta beach is great for swimming and there is a slipway there to launch your boat. There are many activities to keep one occupied, swimming, walking, diving, kitsurfing to mention just a few.

Spend the evening having a delicious braai and sipping on a glass of bubbly while you watch the world go by and look over the blue Breede River. A small piece of paradise. What more could one want?"

"Loved it!"

(South Africa) Mrs Nel

"We loved Strandlopertjies - the decorating, setting and the warmth of the owners. Perfect stay!"
