Seaside Cottages Is Officially Lekke!
Posted on Sun August 30, 2026 in Media and Press.
Seaside Cottages is thrilled to announce that we have received a LekkeSlaap Lekke Host Award!
Yes, we have officially been declared “lekke” — and we couldn’t be prouder.
Yes, we are proud to hear that our guests have had a wonderful stay with us. And it is these same guests who helped us earn an award.
At Seaside Cottages, you can be sure of a comfortable bed, quality amenities, top-class service and direct access to a stunning beach, ocean sports and restaurants.
What Exactly Is a Lekke Host Award?
The LekkeSlaap Lekke Host Award recognises accommodation hosts who consistently go the extra mile to create enjoyable, comfortable and memorable experiences for their guests.
Seaside Cottages ticks all the boxes: it's a pretty place to stay and it offers all those little things that make a holiday feel special. Things like a clean, welcoming cottage, thoughtful hosting, reliable communication, and, most importantly, guests who leave happy.
A Badge We're Proud to Wear
Receiving our Lekke Host badge is a wonderful acknowledgement of the care and commitment that goes into hosting our guests. It tells future visitors that Seaside Cottages has a proven track record of providing a quality guest experience. And it is these guests who back us up because they have actually stayed with us.
In other words, our guests have spoken… and apparently, we're pretty lekke!
Why This Award Matters
A LekkeSlaap award recognises several important ingredients of a great stay:
⭐ Happy Guests
Positive reviews and high ratings from real guests are at the heart of the award.
⭐ Consistent Quality
Guests want to know that they can rely on their accommodation to be clean, comfortable, well-maintained and professionally managed.
⭐ Going the Extra Mile
Great hosting is about more than providing a bed and four walls. It’s about making visitors feel welcome, comfortable and cared for.
