Great host, great house, great location. Everything was really so good. It’s hard to say anything negative about this house. We had an amazing time with two couples and two children (8 and 3). If you’re contemplating it, just do it. It will exceed your exceptions. The house is super well equipped. Kitchen stocked, pool floats, books for the kiddos, etc. Just really outstanding all around. It is hard to be perfect, so on the “less than perfect” I will say that there is no aircon at all. Which is clear in the listing, but I overlooked. It’s not really needed in Hout bay, but would be nice on the hottest of summer days (a few of which we had). Even then, it’s cool enough at night, but ceiling fans rattling blinds and open windows can make sleep a little difficult for light sleepers. This small detail, for us, was not a deal breaker and we would return in a heartbeat. Natalie was so outstanding and communicative. Above and beyond. A+ from us. Extra credit for Clara the house cleaner!
