Ilana made a special effort to meet me earlier than I had originally planned. She was warm, friendly, and welcoming. This is a very special home, with a courtyard in which troughs of herbs surround a pool and a seating area. The space I stayed in is very private from the family space with a separate door. The apartment has a modern kitchen which is fully and thoughtfully equipped.. Ilana even provided some groceries and a welcoming bottle of wine! There is a stunning view of the ocean from the living room, and a deck offers a perfect spot to watch the waves and gulls. The full size bathroom was spotlessly clean and offers a shower as well as a soaking tub. Fluffy towels and pampering products were provided. The huge bedroom has a super comfy queen size bed and sea view. There is original artwork throughout the apartment, and books to help visitors to South Africa understand and enjoy the country. Parking is provided off the street. Because this home is situated on the slopes of the hill, there are several quite steep steps from the road to the courtyard, but Ilana offered to help me lug my suitcase. Fish Hoek is a very safe community with a lovely bathing beach. I recommend driving over Ou Kaapse Weg which is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled roads over the mountain, to get here, and visiting Constantia wineries and Kirstenboshch. This home offers five star accommodation and has an exceptional location. Thank you for a wonderful stay in October, 2016.
