• "The awesome view and tranquility"

  29 September 2020

  "Well equipped units, with an awesome view. Very clean and neat."

• "Lovely views"

  20 August 2019

  "The view is delightful. The host was welcoming. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean and well equipped. The unit is very small and cramped - thank goodness the weather was good so we were able to sit outside because theres no space to sit inside and no table inside for a meal. Fine for one night or two but not for a longer stay."

• "Our happy place"

  09 September 2018

  "Hondeklipbaai remains at the top of our 'happy places' list with its uncomplicated and simple lifestyle. Although there is a definite ugrading of roads within the village itself, the dirt roads approaching Hondeklipbaai mean that it is not an ideal one night stopover place although it may be easily be done. However, Honne-Pondokkies are well situated for restaurants and the 'sights', longer stays are most enjoyable and give one the opportunity to braai or sample good food and sundowners overlooking the picturesque little bay area and lighthouse. The accommodation is clean and comfortable, however, it is worth noting that if one is staying for more than one night the cottages are not serviced, meaning that your belongings will not be tampered with when you are out. It also means that it is advisable to take along an extra toilet roll or two. In winter, although a heater and one extra blanket is provided an extra blanket would go a long way to making Cottage 1 more comfortable. There is ample fridge and freezer space as well as gas stove if one is self catering. Walking shoes are a good idea as walking around the village is both safe and most enjoyable. It must be noted that a section of the road (Klipfontein) has been tarred near the N7 on the Garies side approach road making the drive safer and more pleasant. Sadly the road signs, directions and google maps don't seem o reflect this as yet."

• "Thatched bungalow with beach in walking distance"

  14 December 2017

  "I enjoyed the furnishings of the bungalow having a lovely gas stove and good quality cooking tools. The swimming pool with lounges was refreshing to cool down during afternoon. The cottage was in walking distance to the beach and staff were most accommodating to ensure my father and I enjoyed our stay!"

  "The cottage was comfortable and clean."

• "Surprise"

  23 August 2017

  "These are the chalets I expected and booked for. Our accommodation was actually an old house, nothing like these chalets.<br/><br/>Establishment Response:<br/><br/>The Honne-Pondokkies advertise 6 units of whom 2 are typical west coast units. You have booked one of them and therefore it was a traditional west coast unit and not one of the thatch units.<br/> <br/>Regards<br/>MD Swanepoel"

  "dit was baie lekker water was n problem en die resturante was toe almal"

• "Rustigheid van gebied"

  07 May 2017

  "Die water situasie groot probleem.Uitsig van Pondokkie 1 word bederf deur Pondokkie 2 se voertuig parkeering.<br/><br/>Establishments response:<br/><br/>Daar was geen waterprobleem oor hierdie naweek wat julle ons besoek het nie,<br/>maar deel my bestuurderes my mee dat jy blykbaar die reserwe tenk oopgemaak<br/>het en dat 'n klomp water terug in die munisipale pyp ingestoot het.<br/><br/>Jy het voorts ook sonder toestemming met die drukpompie gepla. Die parkering<br/>voor Pondokkie 1 en 2 is baie groot en is ons jammer as die gaste by<br/>Pondokkie 2 so parkeer het dat dit jou see uitsig belemmer het, maar sou ons<br/>dit waardeer het as jy tydens jou besoek dit onder ons aandag gebring het,<br/>waarna ons dadelik die gas sou versoek het om sy voertuig te skuif."

• "Excellent stay"

  "Hondeklip baai is quite far from city life. It was a great pleasure to find Honne-Pondokkies on our trip in the North Cape. Chalets are great and well equiped.We can recommend everyone to have dinner/breakfast at Die Rooi Spinnekop restaurant. What a great food in a small village"

  11 January 2017

  "Very nice and neat modern place to stay.<br/>Just keep in mind the 83 km dirt road to get there.<br/>And make sure you have the correct number to phone for somebody to show you your Unit and give you the key."

  05 September 2016

  "We were a party of 3 couples that had a lovely comfortable stay at Honne-Pondokkies. The accommodation is comfortable and well equipped. The views and proximity to the beach are super! We went for lovely walks and even did a brunch on the beach! Only one couple had problems with their shower ( no 5) but for the rest we all fell in love with Hondeklipbaai. Will recommend it with confidence!"

• "Pleasant stay"

  30 December 2015

  "<p>We had a great stay: we regretted not having booked at least a second night. The unit (we stayed in no 4) was well equipped and clean, and we enjoyed having a meal at the Dop &amp; Kreef restaurant in town.</p><p>Definitely recommended for more than just a one night stay: the atmosphere and nature has to be experienced.</p><p>It would be even a better place to visit if the authorities did something about the number of stray dogs in the area, though.</p><p></p>"

• "Beautiful place"

  10 September 2015

  "We arrived at Honnepondokkies in the cold, but were soon warm in our little cabin. It was really nice with a gas stove, ensuite bathroom and loft for the two single beds. We had a nice view of the bay, and enjoyed our stay. We were very comfortable."

  "The stay was nice, we enjoyed it. We appreciate the modern and beautiful decor, it has a nice style. Lohana was very nice and treated us very well. We would have like to have a TV set in the house. No TV was a bit strange to adapt to."
