We had a wonderful time at Sea Shells Cottage, the owners are very friendly and patient. The house is very clean but can use a modern upgrade in some areas.

This charming place we called home for the weekend. Our 2nd time visiting in just over a year. We love it because it is absolutely private and has a beautiful sea view. At night, the cool breeze and the sound of the waves breaking make it ever so tranquil. The Essery's go out their way to make your stay comfortable and are ever so thoughtful. Earlier I mentioned home for the weekend. I said that because there's so many little things that we take for granted, like enough of citrus oil to ward of the mosquitos. Abundance of candles all through the house along with portable lights to help during load shedding. The body wash in all the showers. Welcome bottle of wine. It's the little things you notice during your stay and you say to yourself, that's kind or that's really nice of them. Anything you would need and may have forgotten at home, you will find in any of the cupboards. Other places don't give you that extra attention like you get here. Tranquil and loads of fun for the kids. Lovely entertainment area for the guys and girls. You actually should be booking this right now, cmon. Thank you to Shar and Louis, we had a wonderful time, again.

My family holiday stay for my mothers 60th birthday was wonderful.
Place is well secured and has all the required items for a relaxing and enjoyable time.
Hostess Shar is amazing and pleasant and kind.
From the youngest of guests to the oldest of guests also including the pet guest, all give 5 Star ratings and will surely be visiting again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sea Shells Cottage, with it’s magnificent views over the ocean and amazing friendly hosts! There are fabulous entertainment areas, with a sparkling pool which we could not get enough of. You will have complete privacy in this beautifully furnished house with a rustic beach look. Great value for money! We will definitely return soon!!

You get that holiday feeling as soon as you enter the gate! Spacious and perfect for a big family.
Nice and neat, clean and fresh! Ocean view from kitchen while making food, view from patio to watch sunrise … and the sparkling pool after a day at the beach.
We had the most memorable time ever.
We will most definitely be back!
Thanks Shar & Louis.

Sea Shells Cottage is the best cottage I have ever been too, the owners are so welcoming and very nice service they offer. The house is beautiful, clean, it's like a second home. It has everything you will need during the holiday except for food. We were 10 Ladies and we had so much fun. The beach is also close. A friendly neighborhood. I would recommend Sea Shells Cottage for a holiday of fun.

A week of R&R at the beautifully appointed Sea Shells Cottage in Southport. Clean, spacious and tastefully decorated. We loved watching the whales & dolphins cavorting in the water. A blissful week of snorkelling, picnics & reading. Thank you Shar, Louis & Ivy for taking such fantastic care of us. We had a fabulous holiday! Hope to see you & your beautiful dogs again, this summer!

Apart from waking up to the crashing sounds of waves, Sea Shells cottage is a calm serene home that catered for all our needs. With a lovely yard space and safe environment the kids were able to be free and enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
Our highlight for the weekend was definitely the whale watching, with beautiful views of the sea our family could not get enough of.
Thank you Shar once again for your amazing hospitality.

Sea Shells Cottage was the perfect place for us as a family with 4 kids. It was much more than we expected. The setting of every room was carefully planned and well executed. Plenty of reading material, games for kids, many seating areas, fully equipped kitchen, beautiful garden and sparkling swimming pool. We had a great time. Thank you Shar.

Sea Shells Cottage is absolutely stunning and a perfect getaway to relax. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. The best part of the cottage is the pool and spacious four bedrooms. Full DStv bouquet, braai facilities and enough seating both inside and outside. Plus there was coffee, tea, and an ice maker which is really convenient! One of the few places that can accommodate 8 people with a private pool and great views of the ocean. Definitely going back!

Heavenly to say the least... the amount of detail put into this home made every day a new discovery...from the plants to the ornaments...there is so much warmth in this home we are definitely coming back...Short of nothing from space to ablutions to entertainment areas to utensils...Sea Shells Cottage is a must visit. Safe and secure with an amazing Ziggy to make sure you are well looked after. Shar you have outdone yourself with this home.
See you all soon :)
