I hope that this review comes across as balanced.
Positives: Large villa in the premium location of Cape Town being Camps Bay. The views are spectacular and the large spaces perfect for large groups.
Negatives: There is no back up power for the up to 8-10 hours of the day where there is load shedding. This is extremely unusual for a premium villa and inconsistent with the price point or this area. This was not disclosed to us. Therefore for periods of 8 hours per day we had no lights, no wi fi, no TV etc. The only item that worked was a gas stove. Explaining this to young kids was impossible and created safety concerns as baby monitors would not work etc. The Hosts attitude to this was to go out for breakfast and dinner each day and to enjoy the 'digital detox'. Respectfully, this is not his choice to make. There were no torches, candles or battery operated lights. We were reliant upon our mobile phone torches to move around the house in the early evenings or to go to the toilet.
