Zinkwazi Beach Vacation house rental with beach/lake nearby, internet access, balcony/terrace and TV

Abbey and her group were a pleasure to host. They arrived with a happy positive attitude and throughout their stay they were neat, considerate and courteous. We could not have wished for better visitors and would be delighted to have them come again

Thank you Kim for your lovely review. You were a pleasure and loved the Beach house from the time you arrived and so appreciated everything about the property. Thank you for your kind words and for treating the Caretaker Axon with such respect We look forward to your return

Thank you for the review Tracey. I am pleased you had a good family holiday. It was a pleasure to host you and yes, maybe a pool just off the deck would be a great idea but difficult to construct !!

Tripadvisor In response to Jodan Kirby’s complaints below 4 nights here Left on Nov 28, 2016 for a stay in Nov 2016 I would first like to start off by saying the the view of the ocean from the house is breathtaking. Although we never got to see the dolphins it was amazing to wake up and have a cup of coffee looking off the deck. There were a few reasons for the 3 star review. 1 First off, make sure to read every part of the extra website Wendy sends to you. My boyfriend and I took his parents to this house for 4 days on a mini vacation. We had a dinner on the first night and invited a few other family members that ended up going a bit longer than planned so for safety reasons we had them stay the night. The next day we were greeted by Wendy, the property manager. She walked right into the house and demanded to speak to me about the other guest we had stay the night. She made my boyfriend and his mom very upset by the way she was speaking to them. She assumed we were trying to cut corners as apparently they charge by the person.. which we had absolutely no idea. We have rented several houses and never had a property manager come to the house accusing us of doing something we didn't know was wrong. She then emailed me several times about it. Response:- The rate charged through Tripadvisor is based on a Basic price for 2 persons, plus an additional fee p person p night, The guest booked for 4. 8 spent the first night, and 6 the following 2 nights. When Jordan explained that she was unaware of this I waived the fee I emailed her once only to clarify this 2 She also came back a different day and walked right in as we were having breakfast. Although she waved the fee for the misunderstanding, she was very intrusive. Secondly, Axon was fine once we told him exactly what we needed him to do and when to do it. Response:- It’s difficult at a beach resort to find guests in during the day. I did email to ask when would be a good time to call and had no response so called at approximately 8am to drop off cleaning agents with Axon and greeted the guests at the same time as Axon was in the kitchen. Axon does not need instructions. He services the house daily 3 Make sure to watch out for the monkeys as they come by every day. We weren't aware of them and one made it inside upstairs and we had to chase it out. Response:- We have no control over monkeys moving through the property. Axon’s presence normally keeps them away 4 Also, be sure to take left over containers or you'll be forced to use the baking dishes which fill up the refrigerator real quick. Response:- Good idea ! I certainly will get these 5 The wind was crazy most days.. the last night we were there we lost power for hours because of the wind and were only given three lights. Response:- The wind strong wind caused an electrical outage throughout the village for approximately 3.5 hours. We have 4 lanterns and plenty of candles. Good idea to get another two lanterns 6 Also, one major concern was the deck. My boyfriends moms foot went through the back deck. Lots of rotting wood. I have made Wendy aware of this problem so hopefully it gets fixed. Response:- The extensive decks back and front of the house are inspected regularly. We had the one plank replaced immediately 7 Lastly, we had to bring our own beach towels, which it says if you are from out of the country they would be provided which they were not. While packing up to leave one of the house towels got packed with our beach ones, very easy to do, and I am not joking when not 30 minutes after we left I had received 4 calls a voice mail and 2 emails about this missing towel. We hadn't even gotten home yet. Wendy really wanted to make sure she got her towel back so we will be mailing it to her via pick and pay for 99R, which I'm sure cost more than the towel it's self. Response:- I had hoped to find the guest still in the area. Guess frequently leave items and are phoned immediately. The towel is one of a matching pair 8 The beds were horrible, unless you like your bed extra firm. Response:- We have been complimented on the comfortable beds by numerous guests. 9 Wendy, the property manager, although waving the fee was very much over the line and upset my guests. She will come and check to make sure you aren't doing something wrong, rather you meant to or not. Will probably never stay here again. Response:- Guests normally expect the property manager to call. Suffice to say that inclement weather coupled with a power outage makes for unhappy guests. This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
