Please be aware that there are nearly 100 steps from the street level to the home (and back up). Also there were ants in the kitchen and 2 of the bedrooms; when reported they were sprayed, but the result was dead ants all over 2 bedrooms and the kitchen- there was no cleaning. Also the living room, movie room, and lower level bedroom smelled very mildewy - we couldn’t use the lower level due to the smell. The layout is very strange; the living room is smaller than it appears and the main room on the second lower level is a gym, so the smell of gym rubber permeates.
The hair dryer has an EU plug so isn’t easily usable and the clothes dryer, even after running all night, didn’t dry our small load of laundry.
On the plus side, the view is beautiful and the location is close to Camp’s Bay and Cape Town. Francis, who checked us in , was very nice. The owner made it very clear that staff would have to stay late to check us in based on our late arrival time and we should plan on a big tip. We were also charged a substantial late check in fee that was not disclosed in advance. I think some of the previous 5- star reviews are now outdated, and while the beach views are beautiful, the house itself needs some attention.
