Susanne was a welcoming, friendly and helpful host. She was also very thoughtful – for example, she provided a couple of multi-function electrical adaptors, which proved invaluable when we discovered that the adaptors we’d brought from Australia were the wrong size.

The apartment was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. We particularly liked all the bespoke furniture. The apartment has a lovely view of the bay and catches the breeze well to stay fresh on warm days. The secure car-parking space was a huge bonus.

The apartment can be somewhat noisy, being on the main road through Hout Bay. However, this is more than offset by the proximity to the beach, restaurants, cafes and shops – the apartment is within an easy 5 minute walk of all of these.

If in the future we are looking for somewhere to stay that is handy for all Hout Bay has to offer, we would certainly stay in this apartment again.
