What a glorious space - we just loved this sensitively renovated fisherman's cottage!
A short hop from the St. James tidal pool (literally across the street), it is also exceedingly practical to get around. It is within close walking distance to some lovely Cafés and restaurants, and a short hop to Kalk Bay and Muizenberg. With the beach road traffic during peak season as it is, the proximity of the house to all possible amenities makes for a totally walkable holiday.
The house is spacious, light, and even on the hottest of days, a cool oasis. Careful consideration has been given to the interior, which is calm and beautiful. It is also just very comfortable - in the most laid-back way - with natural fabrics, ampleness of throws, good linen. The rugged stone walls, next to smooth marble surfaces, polished Oregan pine floors, and painted wood paneling is most satisfying. The renovation managed to retain all the charm of the original structure.
The hosts were always very responsive and helpful, quick, but also kind, and we were made to feel very welcome (Thank you Sanela, Filippa and Stu).
I cannot recommend the space enough, it was a real joy to call this our home.
