Vrede Self Catering

Our Queen Apartment was excellently and modernly equipped. Air conditioning, TV with DStv, kitchen with fridge freezer and even dishwasher, a very comfortable bed, the lovely seating area outside with a view of the town of Strand and of the False Bay, really left nothing to be desired. However, we can absolutely NOT recommend the accommodation! What is not quite so bad is that driving in and out of the absolute ‘high security’ Boskloof Estate is quite annoying: the entry and exit is connected with considerable effort every single time. Above all, however, the hosts are very irritating, to say the least. The elderly lady present, probably the owner Maggie, was always desperate not to start a conversation with us, she was practically always on the run from us. And the owner, Craig, who only corresponded with us via WhatsApp, apparently wants to have his inventory replaced by his guests, because he obviously takes every opportunity to replace inventory that the guests have unintentionally soiled with new, better inventory at the guests' expense immediately and without giving them the opportunity for a discussion. In our case, professional cleaning would have been easily possible and not a replacement (if this had actually taken place at all!). Of course, we ended up paying for a much cheaper cleaning, but only after the South African travel company through which we had booked the accommodation intervened with the host. In any case, the completely unfair behaviour shown by the host can in no way lead to a recommendation!

Just want to take a moment to say we are in awe of this beautiful scenery. Just want to take a moment to say we are in awe of this beautiful scenery, friendliness and hospitality. You are an absolutely beautiful soul and we pray that your business grows from strength to strength. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Much love.

Stunning place with a stunning view in an estate where you can even enjoy some trails with a panoramic view on False bay.

Beautiful view, unit decor well done, security good felt very safe. No noises nice and quiet. Will for sure visit again

Maggie and William were always helpful, resourceful and kind.The place gives a beautiful view of the sea and located in a secured and beautiful estate.The rooms are modern,well decorated and neat.What a memorable experience to have stayed at Vrede.

We were very pleasantly surprised and impressed with this gem for a quick overnight stay. Checked in at 14:00 as with the free and fast WiFi were able to complete our work day there. And wow... it gave new meaning to an office with a view! Lots of little extras like Pantene shampoo and big box of milk in the fridge...
