The house interior is tastefully renovated with a sleek, high quality fit out. The beds were comfortable with clean, fresh sheets and nice pillows.

There were a number downsides to this property. Firstly, no wine glasses were provided. Considering this is a standard item in any holiday home, and that the Peninsula is a popular winery destination, this was pretty surprising. As we'd come down to the Peninsula with friends to visit the wineries (and of course sample some wine back at the house) not having wine glasses was annoying and inconvenient. We had to go out and buy our own wine glasses, the cost of which the host reimbursed later on.

Secondly, the front and back garden were completely overgrown and unkempt. The grass was above knee-high in places. Not only was the garden unpleasant to look at, we couldn't use the outdoor space because it was overgrown. The state of the garden was vastly different to the listing photo which shows a neatly mowed lawn.

Thirdly, the kitchen is described as having "Considerable cookware/kitchenware for the conscientious cook". We didn't find this to be the case. Aside from the absent wine glasses, there were not enough dinner plates for the four of us (2 plates only) or mugs (again, 2 mugs only) or even a roasting pan for us to roast a lamb shoulder in. We don't expect Le Chasseur grade cookware or Riedel glassware, but the basics really should be provided.
