We had the best time in Amy's house.
We are a family of 7; mom & dad (81), brother (28) and girlfriend, my sister (27), me (32) and my girlfriend. The house was perfect for us, because everyone had their own bedroom ánd bathroom. The rooms are situated in such a way that everyone has the opportunity to take some personal time and/or nap without disturbing others (great when you are with your family). The beds are all very comfortable and the bathrooms spacious and well equipped. Every room has a door with a lock and gives a feeling of privacy. Windows can be opened to enjoy the fresh sea breeze.
The living room has a great walk-in kitchen. We used it to make breakfast every morning and ate out on the patio whilst enjoying the empty beach.
It's also great to eat at the big table when it's colder outside. The views from the table and sofa are incredible. My dad (81) took every opportunity to take a nap and watch the sunset.
The patio is perfect for sunbathing, doing a Braai and to enjoy the sunset whilst having a drink together. On a hot day it's very nice to have a splash in the pool. And on a busy beach day it's very entertaining to watch the livelyness on the beach, it never gets dull.
In the weekends the beach is a place where people enjoy a drink, play music and play games together. It's great to see that Clifton 4th is a a real public beach that everyone enjoys. People are also very friendly. One evening we had some people that where playing 30 seconds quite enthusiastically, but when we notified them of our presence they immediately lowered their voices. Also, the security is stationed right next to the house. This made us feel safe and comfortable.
During our stay we also had some trouble with the plumbing, but Amy and Precious made sure this was fixed on the same day. For us this is a perfect example of Amy's attentiveness.
The location is perfect. You can easily walk to Camps Bay, and Uber everywhere in Cape Town within 15 min. We also went Cycling to Hout Bay and ran to Waterfront.
This house is perfect if you want to experience Cape Town and the surrounding areas with your family. I would definitely recommend staying at Amy's house and would love to come back some day. We made some life lasting memories and will never forget staying here.
All the best,
Paul
