We had a great time staying at Thomas’ house. You can see the mountain from the garden and Hout Bay is convenient for most things in CT. The house is stylish and with 4 children in our group, the kids bedrooms were a real hit, beautifully done and with lots of toys. I believe Thomas and his family live in the house and (in our case) had just vacated for the weekend, so you should expect to feel like you are staying in someone else’s home rather than a rental property. Unfortunately the pool was fairly dirty as the pool cleaner did not appear to be working so was not great for swimming but still nice to have. We were also particularly grateful that Thomas warned us of a local event that was causing lots of road closures in advance so we could plan accordingly; and also posted us two items that we left behind. Overall, a lovely few days in a lovely home.
