Rus ‘n Bietjie | Struisbaai Self Catering Accommodation
OverviewRooms/RatesArea/MapReviews (48)
Built in 1938, Rus ‘n Bietjie is 1 of the last real old L’Agulhas homes. It has a true fisherman’s cottage feel about it with lovely sea views and is situated only 30 m as the crow flies, from the ocean and the ideal swimming place, the historical Soldier’s Pool. There is a low vibracrete wall between you and the sea and walking distance to the seashore is a mere 100 steps.
Rus ‘n Bietjie is a rustic self-catering home with painted cement floors, a few cracks due to age, and has quite some character, as some of the door frames are from old boats and thus a bit lower than normal. There are 3 double bedrooms, the first room has a double bed and good sea views, the second room has 3 single beds and good sea views and the third room has 3 single beds and mountain views. It can sleep max 8 people, but is ideal for 6 people. There is also an outside room with a double bed should you be more than 8 people.
The bathroom is fitted with a toilet, washbasin and bath. Please note that the toilet is slightly lower than usual and that there is no shower. There is an outside toilet of normal height which is useful especially when having a braai.
The kitchen has good sea views and is fully equipped with a 4-plate stove and oven, a microwave, a fridge with freezer combination, a toaster, kettle and all the utensils for self-catering purposes. Tea, coffee with a bowl of rusks are provided, as well as washing liquid, salt and pepper. The open plan sitting and dining room area has a small library and TV. There is an OVHD decoder but should you require Dstv, please bring your own decoder.
The best part of Rus ‘n Bietjie is probably the large undercover stoep and braai area overlooking the ocean. Not only does one see the ships going to and fro, but whales and dolphins are often seen from here. The hammock on the veranda lets you do some sea scanning in comfort!
The plot is pet-friendly, upon prior arrangement.
Rus ‘n Bietjie is not everybody’s cup of tea, but those that appreciate something different, close to nature and beautiful sea views, love Rus ‘n Bietjie and many consider it their favourite holiday destination.

Wat ‘n ongelooflike ou huisie. Jy wil die heeltyd net op die stoep sit en na die see staar. Met n ietsie koud in die hand natuurlik.
As ek dink aan ‘n huisie by die see dink ek beslis aan Rus ‘n Bietjie. Baie dankie vir al die feite oor die geskiedenis van die omgewing.

Hoewel ‘n mens sou kon argumenteer dat die plek opknapping nodig het, is die ligging en dit wat gebied word, goeie waarde vir geld. Ek sou egter net wou aanbeveel dat die breekgoed op ‘n veiliger plek geplaas moet word, veral as klein kinders daar is. Handjies vroetel maar oral en dit is ‘n proses om die breekgoed veilig te hou.

Booked cause of the text en photos. Misleading. R1200 is too much for this small cottage. First, as non-smokers, we had to open all windows and doors to get fresh ocean air. The furniture smells like wet dogs. The toilet is 30 cm’s high and not easy to stand up for the bath isn’t steady fixed. We didn’t shower, for there was a bath only. For a super basic house like this, the price is way too high, compared to other available houses in the same area.

Een item wat ons beslis gemis het – ‘n stort asseblief. Ons was nou net 2 gaste, maar met meer mense sal almal maar sukkel om met 1 toilet, wasbak en bad klaar te kom. Gee ook aandag aan nuwe kussings!

Rus ‘n Bietjie is geleë in ‘n ongelooflike mooi ligging, daar is een huis reg voor en dan die see. Uitsig oor see na die kant is baie mooi. Die huis is ‘n tipiese vissershuisie, baie karaktervol. Almal gaan nie hou van die geriewe in die huis nie, want dit is nie modern nie, maar alles is werkend en die huis is mooi skoon. Hierdie verblyf is verseker uniek en was ‘n ongelooflike ondervinding.

We stayed one night in this old house with character, with 3 small children. House was clean and taken care of with love. Beds are good. Friendly host. And perfect location. Close to ocean and most southern point of Africa.

Dis ‘n tradisionele gesinsvakansiehuis sonder tierlantyntjies, ‘n bietjie afgeleef, en dit kort ‘n bietjie onderhoud. Kieskeurige vakansiegangers sal miskien elders (en heelwat duurder) wil bly. Die kombuis is redelik volledig toegerus. Beddegoed en handdoeke was skoon en toereikend. Sekuriteitsbewuste Gautengers sal nie daarvan hou nie, want daar is nie juis sekuriteit om van te praat nie, behalwe dat daar nog nooit ‘n inbraak of voorval was nie. Ons het daarmee vrede gemaak en heel rustig gebly. Die see-uitsig wat deur die publisiteitsfoto’s voorgestel word, word effens beperk deur ‘n nuwe huis wat die helfte van die uitsig belemmer, maar daar is nog steeds ‘n 90 grade see-uitsig, en die see se geruis en geur is heeldag om jou. Op die stoep kan jy heerlik lees en dut, en as jy jou oë oplig, is die see daar. Agulhas se winkels, restaurante en kafees is binne 10 tot 15 minute stapafstand, afhangend van hoe fiks jy is. Die gasvrou is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons het lekker gebly en ontspan.

Its position is so suitable for younger children. We enjoyed our stay immensely and have a mind to go again sometime soon. We were given to understand that it was an older house with facilities so typical off a comfortable beach cottage. It certainly isn’t modern but that is how we like it. This does mean that it probably isn’t to the liking of some.

Ons sou ‘n stort waardeer het. Die toilet is baie laag, nie geskik vir volwasse persone, laat my dink laerskool. Heerlike beskuit en mooi handdoeke, maar sit suiker eerder in ‘n toedraai houer en nie in n geskeurde pakkie met koffie klonte in nie. Braaiplekkie gerieflik, ons het lekker vis gebraai. Die eienares was baie vriendelik en het ons baie welkom laat voel.

The cottage is well located with a great view of the sea and a short walk to the sea front early morning was the highlight. The cottage is rustic, yes, but it is clear that no maintenance or proper cleaning has taken place for some time as one had to fix the toilet after each flush. We were reluctant to use the kitchen.

Lekker gebly. Gerieflik naby aan “soldier’s pool” vir swem, heerlike stoep om op te kuier. Lekker warm bad, oorweeg dalk om stort bo bad te sit met gordyn om. Mans oor die algemeen verkies stort. My man het by die stort by Soldier’s pool gaan stort.

Die huis is skoon en was gerieflik. Ons spandeer nie ons tyd in akkommodasie wat ons bespreek nie, dis net ‘n slaapplek. Daar is te veel om te sien en te ervaar. Dus het die feit dat daar slegs ‘n bad is nie gepla soos vir ander gaste nie. Dit is seker een van die oudste huisies, baie karakter sonder die foefies by ander plekke wat ons nooit gebruik nie en waarvoor jy ten duurste betaal.

This location provides you with the sound of the sea without breaking the bank. Love the casualty around the place. Needs a bit more protection on the verandah when galeforce winds are blowing as this stops you from braaiing, which is such a South African tradition. Also can do with an outside shower to wash off the seasand.

Die akkommodasie het aan die beskrywing in die advertensie voldoen. Nadat ons die eerste aand vir aandete uitgegaan het, het ons na ‘n donker huis teruggekeer. Ons het met behulp van die lig van ons selfone ons beddens bereik. Die volgende aand het die krag weer omstreeks 18:30 afgegaan. Ons het die bestuurder gebel wat gesê het sy kan nie help nie omdat sy die huis vanaf Bredasdorp bestuur. Na ‘n bietjie gesukkel het sy ‘n elektrisiën uitgestuur wat ‘n kortsluiting gevind het. Die bestuurder het een ekstra nag vir 3 persone aangebied vir die ongerief, waarvan ons moontlik gebruik sal maak.

Die huisie was nie ordentlik skoon nie, sien asb. die volgende as opbouende kritiek.
1. Huisie het baie aandag nodig.
2. Beter kwaliteit kussings.
3. Ek het gemerk uit die besoekersboek dat vele kliënte vra vir ‘n stort. Die badkamer is baie ongemaklik.

Ons was met intrapslag nie gelukkig met hoe die huis binne vertoon nie. Die beddens is nie mooi opgemaak nie en dit was bedompig. Die vensters was heeldag toe. Party ligte en die stoeplig is buite werking. Kinders was bang om te gaan slaap in die nag. Algemeen: Ons was nie gelukkig met die skoolvakansie by Rus ‘n Bietjie nie.

Great ambience, but the only things were that certain things desperately needed upgrading, such as beds which were very uncomfortable, and then certain cutlery like the tin opener which is so rusted it does not work at all. Besides the little things, it’s a great place and good value for money.
