The cottage is in a great central location, private and quiet. Everything is within walking distance from shops to beaches and even a few hiking trails. You don't really need a car to enjoy this place but if you do, street parking is difficult to find at times as Kalk Bay is a vibrant little seaside town. The cottage itself is equipped and furnished. It is comfortable, however I found a lot of the furniture could do with maintenance and an increased eye for detail would not go amiss.
Bibi, the onsite host, was extremely helpful and responsive and would go out her way to make things work.
The biggest downside to the holiday was the response and integrity from the owner. After booking the cottage some 6 months earlier and paying Airbnb immediately, we were then bullied into paying an additional 3rd more from the original cost because the owner claimed Airbnb made an error on the original costing (no proof supplied). The owner thus threatened to cancel the booking just 6 weeks prior to our arrival if we did not make the increased payment, saying we would simply find something else. Our hands were tied as it was peak season and there were no other options available at short notice.
Please ensure you communicate with the host upfront on the final pricing so you are not caught out like we were.
