We had an excellent experience staying at Shell Cottage. First of all, Ali was very easy to communicate with, and very prompt and thorough in her responses to all my questions leading up to our stay. The prime location of this house in Camps Bay cannot be overstated. It is situated on a lovely, quiet street that is also just a couple blocks' walk from the beach and restaurants. Enclosed parking also means you're never looking for a parking space.

The house looks small as you approach, but inside it is spacious and inviting. The living space flows easily to the dining and cooking spaces, which allows for easy communication and a relaxed atmosphere. Each bedroom room also has its own bathroom, which allows a good bit of privacy for its occupants. We were a group of eight (three couples and two small children), and we filled the house nicely. The house has been carefully and tastefully decorated, and the rooms are cleaned and straightened each day.

The garden is truly like a little oasis, and though it was too cold for us to enjoy the pool, that would've been something we'd take advantage of in warmer weather.
