I choose this house for a group friends to stay at after we completed a week in Cape Town for a graduate school class. The house is about 15-20 minutes outside of CPT depending on traffic. It's located in a safe suburb and a few steps away from the beach which has an incredible view of CPT and Table mountain. There is a grocery store and a few restaurants and coffee shop a 5 minute walk away. The house itself has 9 bedrooms (8 in the main house) and 1 in the courtyard) and private bathrooms with each room. There is a large living room and kitchen, so it's a perfect house for a large group of people. Each room has it's own key and can be locked for privacy. Esther is the house manager and she wants the guests to have a good experience. When I booked I didn't know that she also lives in the house, and while she's well intended at times it need feel like she was in our space or monitoring what we were doing. Again, I'm sure it's make sure we had a good experience but at times was a bit overbearing. Overall we had a nice stay.
