We spent 4 nights at Ard’s place and had an absolute blast. Everything is just as amazing as it looks on the pictures. The garden and pool area is like a little oasis in the middle of Hout Bay. The kitchen has everything one could possibly need and more. Semeon and Ard’s Mom (or as we now call her, just ‘Mom’ ;-)) live on the property as well and while they do make sure that you will have complete privacy, they are also always ready if you happen to need anything. They are both such lovely people who made us feel very welcome! Although we did not meet Ilene in person, we exchanged a few messages with her and she always responded immediately and was super friendly as well. The three dogs roaming the property are very cute and well behaved. Can recommend this place 100 percent!
