Nice facilities and activities for the kids, superb location and views.
I had an issue with the parking that security gave me, there was a car parked in it already. When I enquired about it at reception, I was told to speak to security and that reception is not involved with parking. So my point was that at check-in I must worry about luggages, settling in and also going to security? Anyways at the end the receptionist gave me the number of security guards.

The staff are friendly, the place is clean and lovely ocean view. Security are active when called for noise disturbance.
On Sunday there was alcohol being consumed in and around the pool. Glass bottles were around the pool, this is prohibited but no action was taken. A lady was so drunk she fell over and her friends picked her up. At the price you pay, you expect better enforcement of the rules and you'd expect beach umbrellas to be complimentary not R50 per day.

Everything was on point. Loved the view. The unit was well appointed = had more than we needed for a short stay. For a long stay, this would be a home away from home. We will return when visiting the South Coast again.
Not really a complaint but something to consider. On arrival in the unit, we were quite late. Most hotels / accommodation provide bottled water which was missing in the unit. However, on checking out, we were gifted two small bottles of water for our journey. Whilst appreciated, suggest maybe rather giving the water on arrival - if guests arrive later than planned, they do not have to run around looking for water.

The setup of the apartment is perfect for a group of friends. The kitchen was fully equipped. I also like the fact that it is a walking distance to the beach.
There was some cockroaches moving around even though they were not too many. I recommend that they fumigate constantly. Otherwise it is a nice place and it is convenient. It will be nice if you can consider cleaning service on Sundays. we checked out on a Monday and our apartment was not cleaned on Monday. They only brought the toilet papers and emptied the bin.

Friendly and welcoming receptionist giving proper instructions on your stay in a friendly way . Welcoming reception lounge area and drinks.
There's no clear directions to the reception from a parking lot. Took a bit longer to get someone to carry our bags to our apartment.

Margate sands is set across the beautiful margate beach.With Mozambique and wimpy restaurants right accross the road.This is a lively area in maragte.One thing that i really appreciated this place for was the heated pool.This is definetly a winner,as we could swim in any weather.Reception staff were all so pleasant.
Not a deal breaker,but to pay for parking and then walk up to the car and park the car in a selected parking slot.
