I don't usually bother with writing reviews, but this case really deserves it. My wife decided to have a pool built, and all the recommendations in the Knysna and Plett areas kept coming up with Johann of Pelican Pools SC. We noted that the reviews of Pelican Pools (albeit not SC) were generally not good, but having figured out there are many branches, and based on recommendations, we contacted Johan for a quote. That process was nice and straight forward and we were a little apprehensive as he didn't waste time on an over-elaborated quote, but decided to go ahead with him as he had a pleasant straight forward approach and all the past customers we spoke to were extremely glowing about the quality and efficiency of his pool building, especially from home builders and developers in the industry. We wanted to wait until the new year, as we didn't want to have a half done pool over December, but after a few assurances, we decided to go ahead. In fact, we didn't quite believe Johann when he said the build should take about two weeks. What an experience, the team moved in and hand dug the pool having to move the excavated soil down a long sloping stairway. In record time the pool hole was dug, a day later huge trucks were pouring concrete, and before we knew it, barely two weeks later, we have a magnificent pool filled with water. I wish I could post a photo of just how nice it looks, everything done to perfection. Johan's team worked extremely neatly, cleaned up at the end of each day, and clearly knew what they were doing, as the concrete work, pool pump/pipe laying and solar heating panels were all expertly done. So that's it, perfect pool built in two weeks. Johan briefed the wife every day and he was very accommodating with late changes she made, so after the nightmare of having plans done and approved, who would have thought the actual build would take a fraction of the time the paperwork and approvals took. A real pleasure and we have no hesitation in highly recommending Johann and Pelican Pools Southern Cape. In the meantime we hear he is busy with a further two pools in our street alone, and is booked until April next year. This is what happens when you do a great job on time, and he has clearly earned his reputation.
