This place is perfection. It is a short way from downtown Cape Town, but in a wonderful world of it’s own. Fish Hoek is such a wonderful find. Great beaches, so nice to have a place to walk around and explore. And the house is utterly charming. You can see the love that has been lavished in bringing this place up-to-date while keeping all the character of an older property.

Cecile's house works well inside. You have so much living space, and peaceful, tranquil bedroom’s and also a captivating verandah and outside area. I was also completely taken by the lovely old stove that I got to cook on. The place works well for a visiting researcher such as myself. It is also ideal for a group of friends or for a couple looking for a perfect cosy getaway.

Cecile has been such a great host. A wonderful communicator. Cecile answered all the questions I had, and also provided really useful advice in advance of the trip. Airbnb at it’s best.
