When applying calculations, R999 divided between five people would cost each person R199.80. Therefore, for two nights, people would only pay R399.60. While this may be affordable for some, the price seemed expensive for others.

@abigail23036, who agreed with @blink_designs_'s price, said:

"Extremely affordable. Absolutely stunning home."

@afrikaanse_noordkaper wrote to the homeowner:

"These prices are absurd, yoh. You are way too expensive."

@blink_designs_ replied:

"Luckily, you are not forced to stay here. You have lots of options, and you can go anywhere else. If I’m too expensive, then you are not my clientele. All the best."

Others in the comment section took an interest in the vacation home and asked about its availability and whether or not alcohol and kids are allowed on the premises.
