We had a wonderful stay at Carmen's place in Hout Bay. The house was stunning - bright and airy, with beautiful views of the mountain. The open plan living area became spectacular when the glass doors opened completely, making the garden feel like part of the living space. The pool was delicious on hot days, and the surrounding trees make the space feel serene and peaceful. We had all the facilities we needed, including an excellent coffee machine! It was an added bonus having a gardener and cleaner visit once a week. Hout Bay is a beautiful area with stunning beaches and a lovely community feel, whilst being perfectly located to Camps Bay and the city, the vineyards of Constantia and the awesome drive along Champan's Peak. As a host, Carmen was friendly and welcome, telling us everything we needed to know and making us feel very at home. She was also really quick in response to any of our queries. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again or recommend it to other travellers.
