This house is simply incredible. The view is unbelievable with the mountains, houses on the hills, and the ocean just everywhere. There are three sets of doors on the upper level that fold all the way back, which we took advantage of, and it was incredibly luxurious to feel the ocean air through the house that way. This being our last stop on a long trip, we were grateful for the washer and dryer (and several provided detergent pods) which worked wonderfully. The dining table is majestic, and made such a nice and comfortable spot for our meals together during the pandemic lockdown. The two separate living areas were so cozy (super comfortable couches and TONS of cozy blankets everywhere), and our child could watch movies in the TV room while the adults visited in the main room. It was chilly at night, and we took advantage of the wonderful and functional fireplace. The beds are very comfortable (with electric blankets in the winter!) and the view from every room is fabulous. We all walked down to the Fish Hoek beach several times, and it is close and convenient.
Yes, the driveway has a short and steep entrance, but in an SUV we managed it just fine. There is very close street parking for smaller cars.
Karen, the house manager, was so pleasant and helpful. She even did some grocery shopping for us before we arrived. We visited a few of Caroline’s recommended restaurants, which were all fantastic, particularly the Olympia Cafe in Kalk Bay- amazing!
I couldn’t recommend this house highly enough, and I hope that we will be able to stay again someday! Thank you, Caroline!
