A great and unique place to stay.
We loved the view and the hospitality shown by Sven and Max! The place is comfortable, spacious and neat, with everything you need for a great holiday. Well placed in Houtbay with easy access to the beaches and all the places in Cape Town you may want to visit, while you still feel that you are isolated in a forest in the mountains!
Being a wooden house it has its own charm and character. (The sound of walking on wooden floors is something to get used to.) Hearing the wind blowing through to trees is a special experience. The vistas of the mountain and the rising and setting of the sun opens up your mind and your soul.
We traveled the access road with a small hatchback without any problems. An inexperienced driver may find it challenging though.
The two bedrooms are spacious and the two showers have a great view, while still private. The beds are very comfortable. One shared toilet. The kitchenette is basic with no hot plate, but you can do what you need to do. The living room is again spacious and comfortable and the small balcony offers a great view.
Our only complaint is that the time passed too quickly!
We felt comfortable and at home right from the start. Sven's extra touches make it so much more than just a place to stay. We will definitely return when we have the opportunity.
