We decided to spend 6 weeks in this lovely seaside home. The house has a lot going for it, including multiple bedrooms and bathrooms which were perfect for us to host family and friends. The large rooms (especially kitchen and living room) were fantastic. The protected patio was perfect for windy days, while we could also enjoy dinners outside on occasion.
While the place is tastefully decorated, there are signs that the house is aging (e.g. shower leaking, alarm system misbehaving). We had a couple of larger issues during our stay, including falling through a trap door in the kitchen which probably hadn't been maintained/checked for a while and a tiny water pipe disconnecting from a high pressure water supply to absolutely soak us (and the floor) while waiting for a plumber to arrive. To Alison's credit she responded immediately to these events and they were fixed quickly.
Our favourite part was the easy access to the beach, which was literally 5-7 min walking along to ocean, even with little children. Fish Hoek beach is great for swimming, which our 4 year old loved. We will miss the view of the ocean and the mountainous landscape towards Clovelly. One aspect we didn't anticipate was the noisy road the house is on, which was a little bothersome at times.
Overall we were very happy and would recommend this house for a family stay.
