Ian was an excellent host, as was his wife.
The place was clean and ready with ample space.
Beach was a 3 minute walk away.
Food markets were walkable and there are several nice eateries within walking distance. Main road off Hout Bay by the beach has several nice shops and places to eat and is 4 minutes away by car.
Capetown is 25-30 minutes to most locations away by car or hired ride. Depending on time of day the traffic is tolerable. The scenery on the coast road or over Chapman peak is stunning. So is the valley road route into Capetown as well.
Capetown is a magical city they call the Mother City. Hout Bay is a little oasis within that.
Enjoy.
