This is a wonderful place to stay. Maik is a gracious host and so is Fritz the dog. We enjoyed every minute and were sad to go. The view is superb. To wake up every morning and see the mountains is grand. The house is well furnished for all of your needs. Plenty of videos to view, a stocked kitchen, closet space to put clothes, wi fi, wonderful art on the walls. We even spent Christmas evening with Maik's friends and that was so enjoyable. Hout Bay is a great place to spend a holiday, away from all the Cape Town madness, but close enough to get there if you want to. This is near the Cape of Good Hope, the Sandy Bay beach (long walk to get there, but worth it), the great Hout Bay market, and Table Mountain. There is a walk in the mountains nearby that overlooks beaches. The greenery in the complex where he leaves is beautiful. There is security if you are security concerned. There is beautiful art work in Maik's studio. If you want a fabulous stay for a good price book this place. Our week there was the best. We already miss Fritz and Maik.
