We had a fantastic stay in this house, for 17 nights. We are two adults and two children, 7 and 10, and part of the stay my elderly parents came to visit for a week, staying in their private cottage in the yard.
This is a real home, which means that is equipped for really living together. The kitchen has got everything a chef needs, plenty of knives, serving dishes, cutlery, etc. The garden is beautiful but not too big. The house, on the other hand, is very big, but still cosy. You know you are in a real home, but it is not too personal. Beautiful and well kept interior, but not personal stuff everywhere.
We drove to Muizenberg for walks and swim (much warmer waters than on the west side, i.e. Camps Bay) almost every day, visited friends around the city, lunched in the wineyards of Constantia less than 10 minutes away, Ubered downtown to great restaurants in the evenings, but also spent a lot of time in the garden and around the house.
Great grocery store and eco-butcher five minutes drive away. Cassie’s made helped us every second day, she was great and very nice, so was the gardener, her husband. Security is top notch. Remote controls for easy parking and alarm control.
After leaving, we checked in to a luxury hotel in Camps Bay and it felt so useless. We should have stayed longer in Cassie’s house. That’s the best review a home can get.
