We loved house on the lake, the pictures are exactly as it is. The house is spacious and as three couples we all had our own private spaces that were easy to manage. The lake is beautiful and tranquil and in easy reach of all the major sites, and a wonderful retreat at the end of a busy day.
Alex is an amazing and generous host from the moment of making the booking to check out communication was easy, and the house was set up to fulfill our needs. The arrival hamper was more than we ever expected.
As a keen birder I was delighted to find that the house is in close proximity to two world renowned Wetlands of International Importance. Both are a paradise for birders to explore. Being April the water at Rondevallei was low, but Strandfontein was amazing - we saw lesser flamingoes, black shouldered kite, and so many other feathered friends on an early morning walk.
I would highly recommend the house on the lake as a base for Cape Town.
