There were many great things about this house. First, the location: we were less than a 2 minute walk from the following: two grocery stores, ATMs, restaurants on the beach road, the beautiful Camps Bay beach, park for kids, etc. However, as there is a block between the house and all of this but the park, it was quite at night. As we had a rental, Camps Bay was also a great location to visit all Cape Town locations - from Cape Point to Kirstenbosch to V&A. Even getting to Hermanus was quite easy. Second, the view: We could see Lion's Head from the front yard and the upstairs. We could also see the 12 Apostles - and I believe the Western Table. Gorgeous. Third: Virginia the househelp is one of the sweetest people we've met. Her smile makes you want to smile! She's also so helpful if you have any needs (and we had very few). Fourth, the kitchen: it was stocked with so much. We had some good meals in there. The stovetop is really, really nice. There were French presses in every room (and more to spare in the kitchen). Fifth: it felt more like a house than a hotel. This was positive for us. Sixth, it was comfortable: from 2 ways of heating each room to the fire place to the couches (the A/C works great too - if you're there when it's warm). Seventh, it had plenty of room for the 11 of us (7 adults and 4 children between the ages of 6-12). Eighth, the secure parking: it was enough for the big Toyota van we drove (10 seater). That was great! It would be enough for two cars if you're not driving a car. We parked the extra car (we were 11) on the road - and there are guys out there who watch the cars. Ninth: washer/dryer. It was confusing because of one review - but there IS a washer and a dryer for clothes (and they are large capacity). Lastly, our hosts: Wow. From booking to check-out, they were incredible quick to answer any and all questions (and I asked a LOT!). They welcomed us with so much fruit, a red and white wine, bread, amazing cake, eggs, and so much more to enable us to eat upon arrival even before grovery shopping. Keith wanted to make sure I knew where everything was, so walked with me to the two grocery stores and ATMs - which is above and beyond what is required. One afternoon a window's alarm was having issues and Keith left work and came straight away to make sure everything was okay. They were amazing. I would love to give more details on this place and it's advantages, but it would be so specific that you could easily find the address (which would be a privacy issue - and I respect Shirley and Keith too much for that).
