Skilpadvlei

Skildpadvlei cottage offers self-catering accommodation with all the modern facilities. This Cottage is ideal for getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life and just relaxing in the serene and tranquil surroundings of Velddrif. The cottage has three en-suite bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, Jacuzzi style baths and a lounge with TV.

The Rose Cottage is a studio apartment, separate to the main house ideal for a couple or a family with small children.

Velddrif is one of the small fishing villages that are part of the West Coast where the visitors are greeted with silence, space to explore, and where time slows inexplicably. Velddrif lies just a few kilometres from where the Berg River meets the sea at St Helena Bay.

    19 October 2017

    "Well on arrival we were met by a very friendly couple , Braam and Martie Veldman. They showed us the accomodation an we were surpriced how clean neat the place was. It is a very large place and all you need for a break away. Very central and walking distance to shops , resaurants and the Berg river. Lovely fishing spots a d awsome bird life. We enjoyed our stay and with Braam and his wife that were more than helpfull, we can certainly recommend this accomodation."

  • "Beautiful place but it wasn't a private stay"

    24 March 2017

    "The house is cosy, very clean and there's everything you need. Johanna and Piet spent a lot of money in the house to make it worth your money. They even made it easy enough to purchase your wood for braai by the Manager which is convenient.My husband and I choose this place to have some privacy and some peace and quite, yet when we arrived at the place we were told what room to sleep in which i think we supposed to have and options of which room we wanted seeing that the house was a 8 sleeper and we were only 2 staying at the cottage, the rest of the house was off limits to us but just to find out the the last room in the house which we wanted was used by the manager! The Manager/Care taker's actual room in linked to the cottage so we could hear what was happening in his room another thing was that we could hear the washing machine which was under the carport and it was used by his wife. The following morning while my husband and I was watching TV the manager came inside and said his going to use the shower which totally disturbed us, we then contact Johanna and she apologised and said she will sort it out. The manager did approach me to apologise but yet made me feel like I was the one in the wrong to complain. We didn't have any issues after that. Hopefully this won't happen to anybody else but I think our time at the house was unpleasant due to the above factors otherwise it was good!"
