We had the most wonderful stay in Julie and Ryan’s fabulous home in Fish Hoek, perched on the slopes overlooking False Bay in Cape Town. With its panoramic views of the bay and surrounding mountains, it provided a breathtaking introduction to Cape Town, not only for those in our family who’d never been to South Africa, but for those who had.
The location is perfect — Fish Hoek is a small town just along the coast from the city with a range of shops and some wonderful cafes in neighbouring Kalks Bay. Everything else that Cape Town has to offer — beaches, mountains etc is all within east reach. The house itself is spectacular with spacious and comfortable accommodation both indoors — including a well equipped kitchen and dining / lounge area — and outside with both an outdoor and glazed terrace to enjoy the views whatever the weather is doing. Watching the sun rise over the mountains across the bay requires nothing more than peering out from underneath the duvet.
The pictures and description don’t really do it justice.
Best of all was the communications. Ryan was supremely accommodating, helping us with check-in and with our last-minute change of dates when we realised we’d messed up our itinerary.
We couldn’t praise Julie and Ryan’s place highly enough and would enthusiastically recommend it to any other guests looking for a luxurious (and great value) stay in Cape Town. We hope to be back for sure
