This place is all about the location and nature. You are right on Chapmans Peak, overlooking Long beach and the valley. Some spectacular scenery indeed! We did a long stay from June 2021 to March 22 (excluding December, when Jonathan returned home for his holiday).
The neighbourhood is nice and is within walking distance to the beach, restaurants and a brewery. 10 Min drive from a convenience store.
At night, it gets super quiet and one can hear many frogs, crickets, the ocean and on some occasions owls and other night birds. The ocean is also nice to hear at night. During the day is was noisy - the neighbours were building for most of the time we lived there, but Sundays were mostly quiet.
The climate is good in Spring-Autumn. Winter gets super cold in the house, but there is underfloor heating if you can afford high electricity costs and the fire place in the lounge was also nice.
The house is open plan and has a nice atmosphere. Upgrading/Maintenance is definitely needed for some of the furniture and parts of the house, but Jonathan did mention that he was looking into sorting out a few things once we left.
It is unfortunate that there is not a proper care taker to look after the place once the owners are gone.
The owners are nice people. We enjoyed meeting them. Any problems we encountered, Jonathan tried to have sorted asap. He also offered us a better price for our long stay, paid for a cleaning team to come in once a month from June - December and left the electricity meter full for us when he left the house in January.
The Southern Peninsula is one of the best places in Cape Town, and living in Jonathan's house will make you want to settle down in Noordhoek. His pictures don't do the views justice, so be prepared to be blown away.
