We stayed in Bayscapes with 2 small children aged 4 and 5 and had a fantastic time! We really felt at Home in this lovely house! The views in this place are absolutely breathtaking. We have spent many hours near the pool, and the outdoor dining/ relaxation area. There is a terrace behind the house which offers shade when the sun is scorching, plus it's a safe place for the kids to play.
The house itself is beautifully decorated, and homely. Penny shared her lovely Home with us in very relaxed way, so we never felt worried about having our young kids there. She even left a big box of duplo blocks for them to play with, which they did very often.
When we arrived the fridge and cupboard were stocked up with condiments, Bread, cheese, milk, coffee etc so for the first evening we didn't even have to leave the house. That takes the pressure off after an exhausting night flight. In short Penny is a fantastic host, thinking ahead, so our holiday could start as chilled as possible. During our stay she respected our privacy completely. We knew she was there should we have a problem, but at the same time she placed her house in our care and gave us the feeling she trusted us completely.

The house itself is spatious, with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The kitchen is fully equiped, with a very handy fridge/ice maker. We ended up eating at Home more often than planned because we all had such a great time there we didn't want to go out.

Fish hoek is a good base camp to explore the peninsula and cape town. There are good shops to stock up. No bottle store however, for drinks you need to shop in the villages nearby. To make up for that there is a Nice French bakery, C'est la vie near the beach. Great for sourdough bread, breakfast or sandwiches and coffee. Fish hoek beach is a nice family beach, safe because of the sharknet, the small waves, and warm water temperatures.
We can recommend this place with all our heart.
One more tip: don't use sms to communicate, rather use what'sapp. A lot of companies use SMS to advertise, so a lot of South Africans tend to ignore their text messages.
