The house was perfect in every way. It is very spacious and is better in person than in the pictures. There are 4 bedrooms with with en-suite bathrooms; 3 upstairs and 1 downstairs. There is an additional bedroom downstairs with a 1/2 bath. There is a sitting area upstairs in addition to the den on the main level. My family all agreed the beds were VERY comfortable. The washer a dryer are a wonderful additions, so we didn't have to take home dirty clothes. Novan, the housekeeper, kept the place immaculate. The balcony and porch are wonderful to lounge on. It was still too cool for us to tryout the pool. There is a coffee shop only a couple minutes walk from the house that has excellent food. The beach around the corner is beautiful and you can watch incredible sunsets. This house is the perfect place to stay in Cape Town.
As American's, we were not familiar with load-shedding, but Johanika was quick to explain it and refer us to a website with the schedule. It was very manageable.
