I live in the northeastern USA and took my wife and two children (ages 8 and 10) to South Africa on vacation. This was their first time to Africa and I wanted them to fall in love with the continent. Tim's place is fantastic. The views are priceless, Binie and Calum (housekeepers) are wonderful. Had Binie prepare a wonderful simple African meal for us (pop and chicken w/ gravy) which we ate with our hands by a fire outside - under a full moon. I braied two nights in a row with a Windhoek lager in my hand, followed by an assortment of Stellenbosch reds. My wife chilled on the beach and read books while the kiddies made sand castles. The location is 40 minutes from center of Cape Town -- which is far -- but gets you closer to Cape Point -- which is definitely worth a day trip. Kids loved Diaz Beach. All in all this place is great. Tim and his parents were responsive and friendly - and our stay was private and darn near perfect.
