97 guests' feedbackSmall but oh so cozy. Terribly friendly and helpful host. is love by itself and the man she sends around, , is just as nice (her husband). Before we leave we get the hot scones.
Great, host couple lovely people.
Yes, and the warmth and love with which we were received creates lasting memories.
Very gracious hosts, concerned about our wellbeing.
We had a lovely stay. The creative ideas to create everything in a limited space is worthy of a compliment. Everything is available where you need it, with enough storage space for everything you take with you. We didn't have the nicest weather and were almost all the time in the outdoor area reading some of their books. The unit is decorated with flowers everywhere and all kinds of special food treats. I prefer not to watch TV on holiday, but I was able to listen to DSTV's Fine Music Radio and watch SA's semi-final in the cricket world cup match. The house is one of the oldest in town, making it within walking distance of the beach and restaurant. We enjoyed the sugar beaks and other garden birds and were blessed to see dolphins with a walk to the beach. Unfortunately, I made another reservation beforehand, otherwise I would have liked to spend more time here. Many thanks to the excellent hosts who took care of us.
From the delicious Italian coffee to the comfortable bed and beautiful flowers everywhere, the place was a winner.
Tastefully equipped overnight place. Excellent service/reception. Safe and close to the sea.
Great hosts who ensure you have a pleasant stay.
Living room and porch very cozy. Everything needed is available and unit is well furnished. David and Christine are hospitality itself. Scones on a Sunday morning tasty. Environment is clean and out of another world.
Place not at all what photos show, kitchen is outside like a camp site, unpleasant smell in house and is neglected.
What a wonderful place to stay. The hosts, David and Christine are just wonderful people. The attention to detail in the room is just beyond amazing! And folks, if you want to be blown away, make sure you are there on Sunday morning. The scones are just devine! We would 100% recommend this place. We fell in love.
I would definitely recommend the place. The beach is a few minutes' walk away and the owners really make a lot of effort to make you feel welcome. Exceptional.
Hostess and host amazing. Went out of their way to please us. Definitely recommend.
This is our second stay a O So Kozi. It is ideal location if you wish to be close to a world class beach (Keurboomstrand) and restaurant (Enrico's). Christine and David are perfect hosts and are always available should you need them. The place itself is kind of unique and difficult to explain. There are four separate areas: bedroom/bathroom; kitchen outside area; lounge outside area and a large living room equipped with a large fridge. Everything was spotless. A last point was the excellent scone breakfast provided. However you have to be there on a Sunday morning to get it. Definitely a place to return to.
Very peaceful place to put your feet up and relax. I thought the kids next door would be a problem, but they weren't a problem at all. The home baked goods provided by Christine were amazing. Her "personal touch" with the fresh flowers and beautiful towels is amazing. David is a source of information about the environment. Best hostess and host we have ever met.
Was on honeymoon, with Keurboomstrand as final destination. Was wonderfully spoiled by the owners, laundry was washed for us, food was brought and no effort was spared to make our stay as pleasant as possible.
We stayed at O So Kozi for our honeymoon and it exceeded all our expectations. 10 out of 10 for Oh So Kozi!
The hospitality was excellent. We had a great time.
From our first contact with O So Kozi and the nice welcome WhatsApp, to the Hot Cross buns on arrival. It was truly exceptional. So much attention to the finest details has been given. We felt so welcome. And were spoiled with the most delicious scones on our departure. Wow, Christine and David, it was really nice with you. So grateful we met you.
O So Kozi is cosy, but also much larger than we expected. It is hard to describe, but there are actually three areas associated with the accommodation. At the front, near to where you park your car, is a living room with a view of the ocean. It also has a large refrigerator and an outdoor lounge area. Then, as you go around to the back of the house, there is the cosy room with a bed and bathroom and an area for cooking and/or food preparation. Beside this room is a separate area, outside, with sitting areas, sink (for washing dishes), braai and clothes drying area. In addition, there are plants and flowers everywhere. All in all, a very comfortable accommodation. O So Kozi is about a 3-minute walk from one of the most beautiful beaches in SA. A very long beach to the west and a series of small beaches, including Arch Rock, to the east. It is also about a 6 minute walk to Enrico's which is a phenomenal restaurant overlooking the sea and beach. Add to the above, the super hosts of Christine and David and the incredibly scrumptious scones (on Sunday) - you cannot do much better. Definitely a place to return to.
The guest house is almost on the beach and the sound of the sea and birds in the background is very pleasant. The unit is tidy and had everything I needed.
David and Christine Steele are 2 wonderful, hospitable and friendly people.
This is a little gem of a place to stay. Small, but very clean, tidy, well equipped and walking distance from the sea. The host and hostess are fantastic; professional, friendly and always helpful. They spoiled us terribly. Thank you guys.
The sound of the waves and the tranquility is just what one needs. The owners are very friendly people and the treats are a bonus. We felt very much at home. Just want to add that we were rarely greeted by the owner, but in most cases were waited on by the landlady. In this case, the owner himself waited and welcomed us. We really appreciated the visit.
We enjoyed a lovely relaxing few days and did a lot of walking - very close to the beach!
Self-catering is extremely neat, beautiful, cuddly and comfortably furnished. The hostess's fine eye and hand for tasteful decor and baked goods greeted upon entering. Service was first class. Host and hostess are friendly, beautiful hearted people. We certainly recommend O So Kozi to future guests. Keurbooms Strand (just a few steps from self catering) is beautiful with interesting rock formations. The dolphins put on a surprise performance. The environment is neat and clean.
Very neat and central place. The owners received us wonderfully hospitably.
We just wanted to get away and rest after Christmas and the latest Covid-19 epidemic. That's exactly what we got.
The place is clean and painfully neat and the scones on Sundays are delicious.
Will come again, value for money.
Christine en David het ons baie welkom laat voel. Alles was netjies en gerieflik. Ons was mal oor die voëltjies en pragtige blomme in die tuin. Ons het lekker sjerrie en hot cross buns gekry toe ons daar aangekom het. Die uitsig is pragtig en dit is baie naby aan die strand. Ons wil definitief weer teruggaan, maar dan vir langer as net 2 aande.
Guests are treated to home baked goods, pleasant company and friendliness.
Fantastic people and place, very comfortable with everything you need, walking distance to the beach and to the restaurant. I have to mention that if your stay extends over a Sunday you get the best freshly baked scones early in the morning that make you wish every day was Sunday, yummy.
We had a great stay and the place is equipped with everything we would need. Will definitely visit there again.
Very well equipped with everything to stay a few days. Thanks also for the treats that were there! Thank you Dave and Christine for your kindness!
After the friendly welcome we knew we were going to have a great stay. Nice people, nice place to stay, nice pampering, highly recommended. Thank you David and Christine for an unforgettable holiday.
Very good location with a friendly and hospitable reception and treats. Oh so Kozi contributed to a wonderful holiday at Keurboomstrand!
David and Christians were friendly and spoiled us greatly. They have an eye for detail and beautifully furnished the unit. It is within walking distance of the beach, with a cosy restaurant, Enrico's, overlooking the sea. We found the location great, and from there we discovered the beautiful coastline of Bitou. It is not too far from Knysna or the Tsitsikamma National Park, with many attractions and activities in between. We would definitely like to stay there again.
Many thanks to David for his effort and preparation. It was very enjoyable and nice and private with a nice braai and hanging out outside in the evening. The living room with a sea view was a big bonus. If you want to relax and experience tranquility book now! Good luck to Christine who is recovering from surgery, it was great to meet you.
Christine and David made us feel very welcome. Everything was neat and comfortable. We loved the birds and beautiful flowers in the garden. We got some nice sherry and muffins when we got there. Sunday morning we got delicious scones for breakfast. The view is beautiful and it is very close to the beach. We definitely want to go back again, but then for longer than just 1 night.
From the moment we arrived, Christine and David made us feel welcome and we were able to relax in a neatly prepared guest house with so much attention to detail. Everything is practically furnished with all the necessary even beach towels and washing machine should it be necessary. We would easily recommend O So Kozi for holidays or a getaway for someone who longs for silence with sea views from a private lounge. Should the weather not be nice for outside there are games and plenty of books to relax in the private lounge with the sound and sight of the sea close to you. Thank you very much, we really enjoyed it and would be happy to recommend O So Kozi.
Made us feel so welcome. We got a great welcoming. The stay met all of our expectations. It had all of the little extras.
A gem. Beautiful, comfortable and very clean accommodation. The hostess goes out of her way to pamper her guests. Biker-friendly people. Can't wait to visit you again.
This place is an average. Very neat, clean and lovely location in Keurbooms River. Friendly people and even provided sherry for the cold in the rainy weather. Very intimate and also a room with a view over the sea. Home-baked rusks made the stay even more enjoyable. Was very pleasant to stay there.
It was a wonderful experience. Hostess one thousand. We immediately felt at home and what you see in the ad is what you get. The Sunday morning scones are to die for. Will definitely recommend. By the sea and the waves let you relax.
We were warmly welcomed. It was so nice to sit on the patio and to sea the see, and just relax. Everything was nice, clean and neat. Thanks for the breakfast rusk.
The owners are wonderful people and spoiled us terribly. The place is nice and clean, close to the beach and places to eat are walking distance. It's very reasonably priced and we will definitely come again.
Upon arrival, Christians welcomed us and immediately made us feel at home. Fresh baked goods, fruit, sweets and even cherries prove that the owners make an extra effort to make your stay pleasant. In addition to a collection of tracts about where and what to see in the area, Christians also provided additional information about places to eat, etc. There is a nice place to hang out with a braai. They also offered to do our laundry. Everything was pretty neat, clean.
O So Kozi is a very neat, clean and comfortable place to stay, very intimate with easy access to the beach. The Steeles are wonderful people who make staying very pleasant. The treat is beyond expectation. We will always stay there again and highly recommend this little piece of paradise.
It is a beautiful place with its own separate veranda and sitting room. The owners are very friendly and although it is a self-help place, there are delicious snacks, coffee, tea, fruit, chocolate, etc. for the guests, with fresh milk in the fridge and a bottle of water. Laundry is also washed for you free of charge.
Christine and David tried to make our time at their guest house as enjoyable as possible. Their facilities are well-equipped and also very close to a beautiful beach.
Christine and David are wonderful hosts. Beautiful sea view from private veranda and adjoining, spacious and comfortable lounge. Unit is very well equipped and overlook a pretty courtyard for late night chats. We enjoyed our stay and were spoiled by their attention to detail and delectable baking. Easy to explore area and beaches by foot.
Had a great time. Friendly welcome and pampered by the owners, would recommend anyone to stay there spotlessly clean and very safe accommodation very close to the sea you can hear the waves all the time. Thank you for the nice stay.
Christine is an excellent hostess and made us and our baby feel very welcome. The large living area and porch that we could also use was a very pleasant surprise. Thank you very much!
The unit had everything we needed and the hosts went out of their way to accommodate a 1 year old. The location is perfect, walking distance from the beach and a view of the sea. We stayed comfortably for 7 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you very much!
I loved this place. Its very private and living up to its name, cosy. The hosts were absolutely friendly and the room was equipped with everything one needs to stay comfortably.
Compact room and kitchenette; patio alongside with braai; access to lounge with sea views, dolphin pods sighted often. Beautiful surrounds, with beach and restaurant within close walking distance. Hosts superlative in their fine touches and grace.
Christine and David were very hospitable. Personal attention and lots of love is poured into every detail - absolutely perfect! Just the place to recharge our batteries.
How do you describe your stay at a place that makes you feel like you lost your heart and soul there? Christene and David were the best hosts that a person could ask for. We immediately felt at home and bonded and left as friends. Wish them all of the best forward, and success with what they're so good at.
Very nice to sleep as well as to wake up with the noise of the sea.
Oh So Kozi is a stone's throw from the beach. The only noise at night is the roar of the waves. Christine and David are incredibly hospitable, there is a lot of attention to detail, everything is neat and clean. Christine is a master baker who spoils people with all her delicious baked goods. We got tired and headed home full of energy.
We were warmly received and immediately felt at home. A lot of extra effort is put into making the stay as pleasant and enjoyable as possible, with so many little extras in the room. The little garden is cared for and the love put into it radiates through the flowers. We only spent one night there on our way to Cape Town and really enjoyed it. When staying longer, the small private braai area, which is well sheltered, will be nice to use. And then you also have easy access to the sea, which is one of our best and most beautiful coastal areas in our country.
We were treated with goodies, from chocolate cake to baked bread and lovely scones the Sunday morning. Can recommend the place anytime.
We would recommend O So Kozi anytime. And the stars speak for themselves.
Very close to the sea. Extremely clean and tidy with all necessities. The hostess makes you feel at home. Thank you.
Absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go again. Great hospitality.
A simply perfect end to a wonderful holiday. The little extras made our holiday - particularly the birthday gift of warm scones all beautifully set out on a tray. How wonderfully special was that?
From arrival to departure we had the best host and hostess. Many thanks David and Christine for the personal attention and pampering. The name "O So Kozi" is more than what the name says. Clean, tidy facilities and definitely more than a home away from home. Thank you for the delicious soup and fresh bread as well as the scones, cream and jam. Everything is presented so neatly and attention is paid to "detail". The fresh flowers, chocolate and sherry in the room make it feel very homely. View is unbeatable. The sculptures everywhere in the garden testify to a lot of talent. Until the sugar bowls in the garden are spoiled. Oh So Kozi is highly recommended. Will definitely stay there again. Can see why this is your "happy place". Thank you David and Christine.
There simply aren't words to describe the wonderful experience we had at O So Kozi. We stayed there for our honeymoon and we were received with hospitality and were spoiled. We couldn't ask for more and we want stay there again.
We were warmly welcomed by the hostess upon our arrival. The room met all our expectations. We slept wonderfully cozy with the sound of the waves in the background. The location is great and the beach was just a stone's throw away. We will definitely be returning to O So Kozi again.
Lovely from start to end. Every detail has been taken care of and Christine has thought of every comfort possible. Can highly recommend this little spot and will certainly be returning guests.
We would happily recommend O So Kozi to anyone in need of quiet quality time together in beautiful surroundings. The place is neat and clean and one would have to look far for better hospitality than Dave and Christine offer. At night you can fall asleep with the sound of waves breaking in the background and in the morning you wake up to sugar beaks coming to look for water in the garden. There is secure parking and a seafront restaurant with a comfortable atmosphere within walking distance of O So Kozi.
We were received terribly hospitably. Everything was neat and clean. Perfect for 2 people. It is walking distance from the beach. Will definitely come back!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at O So Kozi! David and Christine are beautiful people, very hospitable and friendly! Everything was very neat and we felt very safe. It's so to speak on the beach and the nicest restaurant, Enrico's is just a short walk away, we just left our car at home and walked there. It was a perfect, peaceful weekend.
Christians were very hospitable, the room was neat and the beach was walking distance from the accommodation.
We had everything we needed, the cottage was super clean and comfy and all the attention to detail and little spoils were noticed and much appreciated! (Flowers, hot-cross buns for Easter, some sherry and chocolates). It is literally a two minute walk to the beach, less if you run! You can see the sea from the garden and lounge that is available to guests. Very peaceful spot and area in general and we can't wait to go back!
We had a great stay and slept well. If you want to break away for a few days to rest, this place is definitely an excellent choice.
A gem of a place. Well equipped and finished, all in excellent condition. Generous hospitality.
Cozy room with everything you need. Super friendly hostess/host. Very well located and quiet. We will definitely come back!
If you want to break away and rest for a few days, this is an excellent choice.
Christine is an incredibly lovely hostess. Everything was very neat and the place has everything you need. Received a delicious surprise breakfast and loving care during illness.
Great location. Quiet, yet close to everything. All the basic necessities neat and available. Owners are happy to help. Friendly, engaging people with interesting conversations and hobbies. The home-baked scones were a delicious treat! Stayed and slept very well!
Christine makes the most delicious scones and biscuits. We had a wonderful stay. Will definitely go again.
A big thank you to Christine and David for all their efforts to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Truly a couple of thousand with all the treats and snack goodies from the kitchen. Will definitely stop by again when we're in the area again. Conveniently close to everything and nice and quiet.
Accommodation that is ideally located with cordial hospitality. The room was clean and tidy and met all of our requirements.
We enjoyed our stay. The hosts went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and safe. We can therefore recommend this place to everyone.
David and Christine are the finest hosts you could ever wish to meet. The accommodation provided is summed up in the ratings above, and then some! We will not only recommend staying there, but we will be back. Thank you David and thank you Christine for also sharing something with us that we could relate to.
Hostess goes out of her way to make everything comfortable! That little bit more care does the trick!
We had a great stay. Their attention to detail was fantastic.
The room was very comfy and met all our requirements. Guests have access to the lving room and patio with beautiful views of the Indian Ocean. Walking distance from beautiful beaches within 2 minutes. Christine and Dawid, our hosts, did everything they could to make our stay as lovely as possible. Highly recommended.
We arrived as guests and left as friends. Oh So Kozi I can recommend with great confidence to everyone - it's safe, clean, in a beautiful environment, not to mention hospitable! Thank you very much for a lovely stay.
What a pleasure. Extremely clean, tidy and beautifully decorated and cared for. Very careful attention to finer details and little extras. One cannot help but feel at home, true hospitality. Only a few minutes walk to the beach.
The name says it all. Cosy and cute.
Beautiful, neat accommodation. The room is equipped with alle the basics. Very close to the sea and unique hospitality from the Steele's. Will definitely be back.
Our five star says it all! The courtyard where one can relax is really fantastic. The beach is three minutes away, beautiful, clean, safe and our dachshund felt like a princess. Sunbirds emphasize the 'garden' route!
See star rating.
Our hosts, David and Christine were wonderful. There are not only great views of the ocean from the patio, it's only about 100 m and you're on the beach. We had filter coffee and tasty biscuits every morning and it was a bonus. We have an old rottweiler dog, Jenna, whom we took with and it wasn't a problem for our hosts at all. On the contrary, they handled Jenna as one of their own family. Loving animals is second nature for them. David and Christine is also a source of information on the whole coast of Jeffrey's Bay beyond Mossel Bay and more. We had a lovely stay!
