We stayed at 42 Strathmore for five days with three families in December 2017. The home was spacious enough that the children could have their play areas, adults could relax, and we could come together for meals when necessary. Some of the positives you should be aware of: * Location - we were a 10 minute walk from the main ocean drive in Camps Bay, which includes several very good restaurants and a grocery store should you need it. While we did not spend any time at the beach it is right there as well. In terms of access to Cape Town and the surrounding area we found the home to be an excellent jumping off point whether we were heading to the Cape of Good Hope, the city of Cape Town, or off to the wine country. You can also catch the Red/Blue line hop on/off bus tours down in Camps Bay, which we found to be a great way to tour the city and learn some interesting facts along the way. * Views - fantastic views of Camps Bay from several locations in the house and from the grounds, plus some gorgeous views of Table Mountain and the 12 Apostles. Pictures provided on AirBnB site are accurate. * Comfort - the beds were all used by our guests (10) and were very comfortable. The various sitting locations had chairs and couches which were also very comfortable, and provided privacy when needed. The back yard is sizeable when you look at other homes in the area and provided a nice touch in terms of play area for the children. * Amenities - the pool was a nice respite at the end of the day for the children; the bar - with wine able to be bought by the "honor system" - and various decks were a hit with the adults; the chickens provided some fresh eggs in the morning; and the pool table made for several competitive games in the evenings. * Hospitality - Elmarie and her partner were very attentive to our needs leading up to the trip, including providing some useful tips about the Camps Bay/Cape Town area. Innocent, who is their house/caretaker, lives in a small apartment attached to the house and was there to help when needed and do the daily cleaning of the house. He was great with the younger children when it was time to collect the eggs in the morning. For a nominal fee he also did some laundry for us and ironed some clothes. If someone pushed for what could be improved there honestly is not much which could based on our experience. The kitchen might be considered somewhat dated, but honestly it served its purpose and more importantly when a home is rented out frequently putting in new cabinetry is likely not a wise investment. Again, we are stretching here to make some "improvement" comments. Overall 42 Strathmore was a fantastic place to call home for us during our trip....
