Rob's place offers a beautiful and commanding view of the False Bay, and it certainly is the kind of view that makes for an ideal holiday. The place sits on the slopes of Elsie's Peak, making it an easy and enjoyable excursion to climb even just before sunset. The Glencairn beach and wetlands are also not so far and they can be good excuses to walk up and down through the safe community.
The supermarket down in Glencairn and the newly opened shopping mall on the way to Simon's Town offer a lot of excellent grocery shopping possibilities as well as restaurants and ATMs.
The place itself is spacious and it allows a lot of sunlight to get in, especially in the afternoon. It has a vacuum cleaner, an outdoor umbrella, a heater, and other basic amenities needed. The indigenous garden was a favourite place of my partner to hang out and is frequented by fynbos-specific birds. There are also lizards, kois, and tortoises that show up once in a while.
The host was nice and very precise with all the instructions for check-in, and was responsive to any of our concerns and queries. Although we did not get to see him and interacted with him much, which would have been nice, we never felt like we were left behind whenever we needed something.
We truly enjoyed the place where we stayed for one month. It is a recommended option for both leisure and work travels (I had to bring my work with me thoughout the trip). It is something we can consider again for our next visit.
