89 guests' feedbackGreat value for money, homely, and includes everything you need.
Comfortable accommodation. Very centrally located on the main street. Secure parking. Our hostess confronted us because we arrived very late. Everything was perfect for our family of 4 for a quick sleepover.
We had a great stay at Seaview Lodge. The owner and staff very friendly and helpful. The apartment is equipped with everything we needed.
The location is perfect. Really enjoyed the place.
The location is perfect and walking distance to shops and the beach. The only "criticism" is that there is no stove with an oven. We will definitely stay there again.
Definitely not for a family. Het is for matrics and young people.
They really enjoyed it - thanks for the good service.
What was nice: The location is fantastic, it's walking distance from the Hartenbos Seafront with everything you need. The place is newly redone so everything was nice and modern and clean. Secure parking, secure with anti-theft and a gate at the sliding door. The shower itself is nice and big, but the water pressure is weak. Furthermore, it is nicely furnished with everything we needed with the exception of scissors and barbecue tongs. There are even tupperware bowls and glass bowls and a braai bowl, porridge bowls, glasses, wine glasses. There was even a sponge, Sunlight, some coffee goodies, a small container of salt and pepper and so on. A big positive was that we never had loadshedding, there is some form of backup so everything runs even if there is loadshedding. To an induction stove with a kettle. Then, if you are not going to be at the apartment much, this is the perfect place for you, but for us who wanted to do something of everything outside the house and then want to be quiet at home and drink coffee on the porch, then unit 6 (where we stayed) not for you (not all units seem to be the same so maybe try one of the others). And then, what was not nice: The gate used by all the rear units is directly at your front door and porch. It was like a train station during the day. Between the cleaners and other guests there is always up and down and in your face and the gate is being thrown shut all the time. It was not private at all in our experience. The apartment is also dark except for the sliding door and bedroom window that faces the road because you have to keep the curtains and the front door closed because you have people walking by or looking in all the time. And if you sit on the stoep there are always people walking right in your face because the gate is right next to the stoep. If they had just built a small wall or something that at least separated the gate and the porch a little, then it would have been a little better and more private. We were there at a busy time (Matriek Bay on Mossel Bay), so that didn't help.
A lot of noise due to repairs being done. I had to go out at half past 12 in the evening to silence guests among us who were hanging out outside. Unit needs a new bed. (Layed out) Vehicle not safe outside either.
We went to the Buffalo Rally and it was within walking distance of the ATKV campsite.
Conveniently located, very nice clean and tidy place. Everything you need to have a nice holiday.
Pleasant and very nice location.
Centrally located, neat and comfortable. There were only a few coffee bags, no sugar, tea or milk. Busy with renovation work and workers started working in front of our door and windows at half past 8 without warning, it was annoying and frustrating. Otherwise nice stay.
Very, very worthwhile.
We had a sports weekend at Hartenbos Primary School and the place was very centrally located, we could walk everywhere. We didn't realize that there wouldn't be bath towels but luckily packed swimming towels. The unit, although centrally located, is very noisy due to the main street but given the price we paid the unit was perfect. May I suggest possibly adding a pan and scissors to unit.
Seafront is within walking distance and close to the shops. Very nice place to stay, will definitely go back again.
This accommodation venue is ideally situated within walking distance from shops, great restaurants, and the world-class Hartenbos beach. We had an excellent stay, even if it was for just one night. Great value for money and wish we had stayed longer.
Seaview Lodge might consider paying more attention to security gates. People can easily walk into the gate and access the cars parked outside the units. Unfortunately, the first night we barbecued outside we had a beggar who upset us a little. The children were also quite restless that night about the strange uncle who came to ask for money.
Seaview lodge is perfectly located in the heart of Hartenbos. Friendly welcome. Our visit was short, but definitely worth it. Everything neat and clean.
Very nice location and good area. Very warm welcome and the nicest stay.
See stars.
Comfortable holiday accommodation. The unit offers everything needed for a comfortable stay. Big plus is the location. Walking distance to the beach, shops and amusement park. I would definitely recommend Seavwiew Lodge.
Went to a family event. We were 10 in our group. Everyone was satisfied with Seaview Lodge and will definitely want to stay there again.
Top quality, would definitely recommend.
The road was busy, especially at night and in the morning. Other than that, it was very nice.
Friendly reception.
It's walking distance from everything. By making a plan if power is out. Put curtains in kitchen.
We felt safe and other places were within walking distance.
It was really a nice stay.
We didn't have an egg paddle. A good peeler will be an asset in the kitchen.
Since we stayed at Seaview Lodge last time I will not use another place in Hartenbos, value for money. Clean, tidy and modern and also within walking distance of everything.
The walking distance to the sea was great, best ever.
Location very good. However, on the main street so very noisy.
Was pleasantly surprised about cleanliness and value for money.
Was surprised about cleanliness.
Niemand het ons ontvang nie ; nerens was n kontak nr v bestuurder of Wi-fi password nie ; daar is geen sekuriteitshekke op perseel nie en die gebou is reg langs n besige pad ; ons het 3 nagte daar gebly maar daar word slegs een rolletjie toiletpapier verskaf.
Lodge is ideally located and within walking distance of everything. Kids had a blast and unit 7 is perfect for 4 people.
Quality and cleanliness are top notch in the apartments. Only the iron is short in the apartment. Quite necessary for general holiday accommodation. Or mention it for the future and guests can bring one with them.
Overall we had a great time and would stay there again.
I would highly recommend Seaview Lodge for great accommodation. Apartment was clean and tidy and everything needed for a comfortable stay. Nicely centrally located. We really enjoyed our time there.
Please. will you put a short description on wall how to use the induction 2 plate stove?
Beautiful apartment and walking distance from all the fun things! Aunt Cornel was very friendly and made us feel very much at home.
Seaview Lodge has an excellent location, walking distance to everything. Ideal accommodation for a small family.
Centrally located, very good place to choose for vacation.
Just renewed in a modern jacket, we immediately felt at home right on the doorstep of Hartenbos' heart. We could walk where we wanted to be without having to look for parking. In the evening, if you close the doors and draw the curtains, you don't hear street sounds at all, only the sea. Apartment is very well equipped, although at the time of our visit a stove had not yet been installed, we could see they were in the process of doing so. We didn't use the private braai area, but definitely would have liked to have stayed longer.
Will make sure that all electronic equipment such as fans cord can reach the electrical point otherwise it is pointless to mount it on the wall. Consider a drop box for keys since there is no office on site, especially for guests who want to leave early. Also avoid apartment units 5 & 6 the people above have no respect for those below them. It sounded like every day when they are there until about 10pm the furniture is moved around and from about 6am in the morning it's just their day.
We love the place.
We have stayed at Seaview Lodge before. I think there are new owners because everything has been redone, brand new, so it was really nice to live there. The hostess may be able to pass on the arrangements to guests such as where to get key and where to leave key with just 1 message. I had to call each time for the information.
Very peaceful, owner was very helpful.
We really enjoyed our time at Seaview Lodge. We will stay there again.
I gladly recommend the accommodation.
People (suspected to be home owner's children) were making noise until what time of night.
Thank you very much Seaview Lodge. We enjoyed it very much.
The ad is misleading. We were under the impression that the house is rented out and not rooms. We were also in the back of a small corridor down to our rooms, as I call it in the back of the backyard. There were people checking in next to us on Saturday and they were loud. Ugly talking and loud talking and laughing while they barbecue outside. We had to keep our kids inside the room because there was dirty talk. In general, the accommodation was very neat, but very small. There was no secure parking for our cars and no allocated parking.
So private. The people were very friendly and it was very peaceful. The children enjoyed it so much. It was our first selection on that side of the world. Will definitely visit and have already recommended Seaview. You guys are tops.
Very good environment, close to beach and shopping center. Would recommend to anyone. Maybe just buy better fabric. Not user-friendly.
A very nice place to stay!
The accommodation and surroundings are great.
The place was very neat and clean and the location is great, walking distance from the beach front. The kitchen cabinets, although clean and tidy, did look like they wouldn't last very long. For us, who basically just needed a place to sleep, it was ideal.
Hostess was very friendly and considerate. Apartment was neat, clean and well equipped. Seaview is also very centrally located and within walking distance of the beach and shops.
Had a wonderful stay and would love to go back. Walking distance from shops. Thankyou so much.
The apartment was clean and comfortable. But there is where the convenience ended. The shower is a problem. The water keeps getting cold and hot. I recommend that they install separate hot water cells for the units. The parking was also a problem. I suggest that they rotate the shade net so that the vehicles can park directly. If they are still upgrading, advertise it as such. In this way, the guests can know to expect a noise.
Vehicles are safe, apartment was not locked at all for 5 days, had no problems with items going missing. Staff very friendly and professional
A wonderful visit in a beautiful, spacious, modern unit. Definitely value for money, neat, clean and perfect location, within walking distance of sea front. Will definitely stay there again.
Apartment is not child-friendly, there are many stairs. Kettle was leaking, so we couldn't make coffee. No detergent or cloths to clean the kitchen.
I was just concerned about the safety of our motorcycles. Motorcycles are being stolen on a large scale and the parking at Seaview Lodge is open to any miscreant to do mischief.
The name Seaview is misleading, there is no sea view. You can tell it's budget accommodation, but hell, at least there are standards! It should actually be advertised as backpacker accommodation. The building will definitely not pass an electrical inspection.
Key broke in lock,first night, contacted owner, still waiting. Our door stood open Saturday and Sunday.night.
Seaview Lodge is extremely well located, walking distance from everything. Children just can't play outside as all entrances are open, no car gates that close. Felt a little unsafe. Our sliding glass door was not attached to the frame either. Furthermore, everything was nice and clean.
Exceeded expectation. Centrally located, walking distance from beach and necessary facilities. Cornel very helpful. Recommend Seaview Lodge anytime.
We really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be coming again!
Friendly reception. Nice homely atmosphere. Walking distance to everything.
I didn't look carefully at the ad beforehand, so we were a bit caught off guard because there were no towels. It was also a bit noisy because there was a large group of people having a barbecue just outside our bedroom window. Nevertheless, the sleeping place was tastefully furnished and very tidy, thank you.
I would definitely recommend Seaview Lodge.
The place is super clean and neat. Would definitely visit again, 10 out of 10.
Nicely close to town and walking distance from everything.
Seaview Lodge's location makes it a winner!! You're walking distance from the beach, amusement park, businesses and stalls. The owner is very pleasant and makes you feel at home. I can really recommend Seaview Lodge!
The price is really fair for what you get. The place is central and close to shops and the sea.
We were in unit no 2. The whole unit was newly redone and much nicer than we expected. We stayed very comfortable and nice for 4 days. The sea front shops are walking distance, very convenient and the fact that you don't have to drive down to the beach is a bonus. Thank you Cornel, it was a wonderful holiday!
Although we had a great time at Seaview Lodge, there were a few things that bothered us. The stove in the unit's plates took an awfully long time to get hot enough to cook, placing the stove on the cupboard right under the other cupboards didn't work for us either. It was uncomfortable to make any food on it. The microwave placed on top of the fridge was also very impractical. I'm very short and couldn't reach to warm anything in it. We really enjoyed the indoor barbecue, seeing as it was cold and rainy.
Please try sort the hot water issue for showering, flushing system of Unit 4 was a struggle. Apart from that the stay was great.
Standard self-catering facilities like coffee, sugar, towels and soap, was not available. There were nice pots, pans and braai equipment.
Very nice, neat and safe.
Nice stay. Nice close to the beach.
Had a great stay and is walking distance to everything. Would definitely recommend.
Very nice stay. Attention can be paid to cockroaches in the unit concerned. It was nice to watch the KykNet channel. A security gate would be an asset at the front door. Still a neat place to stay with all the basic things you need.
