We thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks stay at Phillip's house. We stayed at the upper level apartment, which was spacious enough for a couple with a small child.
The village is by far the best one in the shouthern part of Cape Town. It has a great and beautiful beach (was very windy most of the time), and a relaxed atmosphere. You can have nice strolls around the beach and the village and a tiny part of the nature reserve. It is really nice that they do not even have street lights so you have a perfect view of the stars at night.
You can find good food in the village. It has a great coffee place (fancy) where you can also buy some groceries and even have a dinner. There is also another more down to earth restaurant so you will have a variety. For a bigger round of grocery you can get to a Woolworth in 15 min by car on both side of the peninsula.
The house is very stylish and has a great atmosphere with perfect view to the ocean. We had absolute privacy since there was no one else in the house. Phillip is also very responsive via chat and provided the basic baby tools for us.
You can also rent a bike to get around or use a car to visit the cape peninsula further down or get to False bay.
All in all Scarborough is a gem and is a perfect space to relax or get around. Cape Town itself is a little far if you plan to visit it regularly but still doable if you just want to get there a couple of times.
Thanks Phillip!
