So glad I got to experience Hout Bay from Alexandra's place. I am a PICKY guest and his place exceeded my expectations. Pictures don't even do the view justice - the patio is HUGE. There may be another guest next door to you so its somewhat private. The actual unit was a great size for a couple or single person. Well decorated with lots personal touches which I appreciate. The clawfoot tub looking over the beach? A vibe. Alexandra was extremely helpful (responsive, flexible, provided tons of suggestions) but stayed out of the way. Alarm was a bit of a pain and the kitchen is a bit small for someone who cooks often but it has everything you need. Wonderful stay for me!
