What a great place to stay, the house was stylish, spacious and secure. We had access to our own pool and a terrace that overlooked the mountains. There was a parking space for us on the gated driveway, Dick introduced us to the place and showed us where everything was and gave some tips & advice for local places to visit (our favourite was the Hout Bay Market, we went 3 times!)
We spent most of our time out in various places of the Cape like Llandudno, Camps Bay and the City Centre. Being in Hout Bay afforded quick access to these and even meant trips south or east were easily accessible.
The drought didn't really effect us much, we minimised shower usage and saved the water wherever possible. This isn't in any way our hosts fault and was a small price to pay for visiting a beautiful place.
