Iris was very accommodating of a last minute switch of arrival time which really helped destress our final day of the holiday. The house feels very secure, the rooms were clean and had everything you would need; it was a little cold to make use of the outdoor areas but imagine in the summer these would be great.
Hout Bay itself is a lovely little area with some great food and (we were pleasantly surprised to see) an increasingly varied number of local amenities and restaurants. We've always loved it but feel it's in the middle of a tiny revolution at the moment! As such, the flat is a very easy base to explore the area and Cape Town beyond. Will definitely look to stay longer next time we're in the area!
