Andre was away during our stay, but had left his lovely Mother in charge. She greeted us and made us welcome at the property, leaving us start up provisions and even returning with chocolate for the children (she left wine for us!) The house is as seen on the photographs and was very clean and comfortable, the open plan living space is very large, as is the master bedroom. The pool was especially a hit. We hired cars, which I think you would be advised to do if staying anywhere in Hout Bay. Hout Bay is lovely, plenty of cafes and eating places and a very good woolworths (SA Marks and Spencers) for provisions and is a great base to explore the Cape. We felt very safe throughout our stay.
