We just stayed a bit more than a week at Willie and Tracy's house and we had a really lovely stay. It was like a home away from home in a relaxed, comfortable, clean and family friendly environment. It was all we were expecting from the air bnb info and a bit more :) The hosts From the start Willie was reactive when I messaged him. Willie and Tracy welcomed us warmly at the check-in and showed us everything with extra care. They introduced us to Bella, the housekeeper, who came once during our stay and did a great job. They are very relaxed and put us at ease. They made sure we would enjoy our stay. The location The house is situated in a safe estate near Hout Bay centre with a lovely feel there are few houses. The estate is overlooking a forest on one side and stunning mountains on the other side. We felt surrounded by nature although it is central to many Cape Town attractions. You can go to the shops within few mins drive. Constantia wine route is within 10 minutes drive so are some amazing beaches. Chapman's peak drive is also "round the corner". The airport is 30 minutes away. The house Very spacious. The open plan area downstairs is lovely for meal times and chilling times, there is a lovely fireplace for the cold evenings. There is a kiddies playroom filled with tons of different games that can keep your children busy for hours! The kitchen is well kitted with enough pots, pans, crockery to cook for a big group. Although the outdoor braai is also inviting. The coffee lovers will get to the choice between a nespresso machine or a plunger. No need to worry about washing up if you don't fancy it there is a dish washer! There is also a great washing machine and tumble dryer. The upstairs area has three bedrooms and two modern bathrooms. All rooms are bright and descent size with cupboard space. And finally the garden is a kids paradise with a trampoline, jungle gym and a place to braai marshmallows! Otherwise if you are a bit older for all that, you can relax by the pool in the patio area which is very sunny. Places we enjoyed* with (and without) kids in the area. * Dune's in Hout Bay is just by the sea and has a true holiday feel. The nice playground for children offers respite for parents who want to have a bite or a drink. * Table Mountain of course: do it as soon as the sun is out and the wind away. Book your tickets online to avoid the queues. * Chapman's Peak Drive followed by Nordhoek and Kommetjie with a stop at Imhoff Farm. * Simonstown and the penguins. No need to queue, you can easily see the penguins from the boardwalk and then you can continue on the scenic path after Boulders beach. * Kirstenbosch is absolutely amazing and...
