Fantastic place, so near the beach, excellent views most notable from the open air room by the lounge (so much so we often stayed in!), very stylish and well fitted (the photo's do not do it justice), some great local restaurants across different budgets, superb beach (and even at Christmas) never overly crammed plus the beach/bay is long also allowing for fantastic walks and cycling.
Local supermarkets (walking distance) and drinks shop (wine/beer etc.) shop cater for all needs.
Nice pool for kids.
Not too far from the main attractions: Cape Town city (20-30 mins. drive), wine regions 15-50 mins. (depending where - nearest Durbanville Hills eg. Signal Gun ... very good).
Melkbosstrand has a quieter more peaceful vibe than central Cape Town which was a welcome change to my many trips to the region but still places to eat etc. and CT only a drive away.
Jan and Laetitia are very nice people and were great hosts and so helpful.
we will be booking again.
