I'm still stunned that we had such a wonderful experience staying in one of Laurie and Mike's cottages. They are two of the most honest, caring, and intelligent people I have ever met. Their suggestions and advice made our stay that much smoother.
The cottage we stayed in was exactly what we needed for a two month stay and they helped to adjust anything needed to enable two people to work from laptops while living there. One of my favorite experiences while living in their cottage was going out to the pool every morning and having a cup of coffee, with my feet propped up on the table, overlooking the mountains in the distance.
The location was perfect for us. It's not as touristy in Fish Hoek as in some of the other towns in the area so a bit more like living as one of the locals. If we wanted the people and tourist shops, we were within walking distance or a short Uber ride. We were 5 minutes to the wetlands and a 10 minute walk to the beach (which we did often) and just as close to a couple of organic farm stores for buying fresh produce. Everything we needed was within walking distance. For the times we wanted to explore other areas we used Uber but if we had wanted to rent a car, there was a place to park it within the gates.
If you see that one of Laurie's cottages is open, grab it up. I guarantee you will not find a better hostess or a more comfortable and safe place to stay. We plan on coming back.
