  • "Fantastic view and great pool."

    03 April 2016

    "The Cliff House is very comfortable house at the end<div>of the heads. The view and the pool are awesome. Unfortunately the rooms are all a bit</div><div>damp.</div><div>The kitchen equipment is ok, the toaster was not really working and we had to buy good wine glasses to enjoy our wine. Three of six sunbeds were broken and the management told us that new one will come. It would have been nice to have a welcome sheet with someone restaurant tips and some fresh flowers or a bottle of wine.</div><div>At least we had enjoyed our stay there.</div>"

  • "Great house, great views but management poorly prepared"

    11 August 2015

    "<p>This house is as gorgeous as the pictures and you will not be disappointed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.</p><p>Our only complaint was the fact that the property managers seem to have forgotten we were coming. We were the first guests they have had since May (as a result of winter) and they were not prepared at all. We called them after collecting the cars from the George Airport to let them know we were coming. They asked us to run our errands, like shopping, first before coming through to the house. We did not do this as we wanted to check-in first. When we arrived, they were only cleaning the house at that time. The gardener was still making the outside look pretty and the cleaner was ironing and cleaning. Also we had issues with the following:</p><p>(1) Gas heaters ran out on our first night. These had not been refilled or checked since the guests in May. We were cold on the first night as they could only get us gas again the following day.</p><p>(2) Lights were not working. These died on us on the second day, there was clearly no maintenance check done before we arrived.</p><p>(3) Only the geyser in the main bedroom was working. Once again, no maintenance check was done after the winter period. It was not nice having only one bathroom working when there were 8 people. This was sorted out the next day but this should have been checked before we arrived.</p><p>That being said, the property manager was very friendly and very helpful. We enjoyed ourselves and I would recommend this house to any one at any time. Maybe just call them the day before you remind them that you are arriving the next day. </p><ol> <li></li> <li></li></ol>"

  • "Awesome location"

    14 December 2014

    "Cliff House is a really awesome location with a magnificent architecture, the view is absolutely spectacular. Hadley was very friendly and did a professional job. Unfortunately, it was raining during our stay; we therefore could not use it fully as a summer house as it is probably meant."
