There was a (Braai) just outside our cottage overlooking the beach which provided us with amazing sunset views and some great afternoons with wine and food.... More

We booked as a group of 4 into this venue and we were surprised by how it provided just about everything we wanted, including wonderful views. The rooms were big and had enough beds, the TV was confusing at first but once we got the hang of it, good value. Bathroom was small, but clean and adequate

We stumbled across this place by accident whilst taking a lazy drive along the Garden Route-and have been talking about it ever since. We had a lovely little cabin on stilts with the most amazing view-the sunset is certainly something we won't forget. We had a gorgeous spa bath, and the cabin was very comfortable with a little balcony (which... More

We stayed at Brenton on Sea Cottages for 5 nights from 9 to 14 April 2012. The cottages are beautifully situated close to the beach and are clean, well equiped and very comfortable. I would recommend them. The beach is one of the best that we have ever visited.
