We spent 6 nights at the cottage with two small kids (1 and 6) and it was great. I loved Helgas daily weather, moonrise, dolphin or loadshedding updates. They were a great help. The steps weren't bad getting up to the cottage and the view made it worth it. 5-8 min walk down to the start of the beach/Jager walk. This walk was my favourite part of the trip...it was just the steep hill along the road coming back after the beach walk that made the thighs burn :) Fishhoek is an amazing beach for small kids. It is calm, with lots of space in the morning if the weather is good. Great jungle gym on the beach and restaurant with ice cream and cappuccinos. Would definitely come again!
