We are a family of five (three kids from 10-15). We had visited False Bay three years prior and were thrilled to find this house on St. James. The place is incredible. We love older homes with character and this was right up our alley. The massive veranda is great as it has removable glass panes making the space accessible regardless of weather. We were at first concerned about parking (we had rented a vehicle), but were happy to read from other reviewers about the guard who watches out for vehicles. If you want a workout, the steps to the upper road will test you. The views from there are stunning. Great shopping and restaurants are right down the road at Kalk's Bay. We hope to come back one day.
An additional bonus -- the host (Kim) who manage's Jooske's house is an entrepreneur. She and her husband own a computer service store (Vantru Computing). We were able to hand over all of our laptops for full service, updates and clean up. So feel free to bring your pesky systems problems on vacation for Kim to fix, while you relax on the beach!
