I loved every bit of my stay in bakoven,it was exactly what I needed vibe wise,beautiful and calm and only a km to camps bay beach and restaurants and shops which was a pleasant and beautiful walk along the beach. If you love running or biking then you will love having others around you doing the same thing every day along the Hout Bay to Sea point route. There is a coffee shop right opposite the house which also serves meals incase you don't feel like cooking or need to meet up somewhere near home with friends. I stayed for more than a month and had to take a few trips out of town for days and was happy to know that my things were safe and that Brian was keeping an eye on things all the time. He was always available for any questions and help that I ever needed.
