What a wonderful space! While residents of Cape Town central, we used our stay as a base en route to a trip down the coast. It's so peaceful and quiet, with great access to numerous mountain walks and very accessible to the local beach areas. We just loved how you could literally just walk from home on to the beginning of so many trails. You're close enough to all the shops and amenities of Hout Bay but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle. This is a great place to base yourself for exploring the surrounding area and Cape Town itself as you're less than 30 minutes away from the centre of town.
From an accommodation point of view, the open-plan downstairs area is perfect for spending time together. This for me was the highlight of our stay, where we spent most of our time. It includes a spacious lounge and TV-sitting area, large dining room and inter-linked, well-equipped open kitchen, which leads to the outside area. Perfect for relaxed entertaining.
The outside area is stunning. Two sitting areas, including a space for dining, garden and pool area with incredible mountain views. This area is sheltered and bathed in sunshine, perfect to soak up some summer sunshine. The second en-suite bedroom downstairs is private and very well-appointed. The bed was so comfortable and the shutters blocked off the light for lazy mornings. A little slice of tranquility.
Upstairs is perfectly comfortable, with a great main bedroom and fresh, new en suite bathroom. Plenty of space. The guest bathroom is also lovely with a magnificent bath. I would say accommodation for a couple or two couples is ideal.
The home is very clean and clearly well-looked after. No issues with the Wi-Fi, which was really quick by South African standards. Perfect for a week or more. I would gladly be back. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
