Andy was a great host, welcoming us and showing us around to ensure we were settled before leaving us to enjoy the magnificent mountain views, especially from the upstairs deck of the master bedroom suite where you can sit and enjoy a morning coffee and watch the sun come up over the mountain behind you.
Downstairs the open plan kitchen dining room and TV lounge is well setout and the large 8 seater dining table and well equipped and spacious kitchen were extremely useful for Christmas day with family. There is a lovely indoor fireplace for cold winter days, but as it was mid summer we didn't use this and instead spent our time outside on the wonderful wooden deck surrounding the swimming pool with comfortable outdoor sofas and thankfully plenty of shade in the afternoons from the enormous tree in the corner when it gets really hot.
We were treated to brand new linen and towels and all beds are super comfy and it's clear lots of effort has be spent to make this feel more like a home and not just a holiday rental. The house was absolutely spotless and the garden beautifully planted and well maintained by the gardener.
It's only a short drive down to the beautiful Hout Bay beach and all the local shops and restaurants and if you don't have your own car there are plenty of Uber drivers around to get you to your destination at very affordable rates.
Overall highly recommended and definitely would consider again if we are back in Hout Bay.
