I spent a lovely week in Fishhoek with my father and my partner. The cottage is beautifully and simply decorated, and the garden with the mountain view is lovely. The location was perfect for us and we were easily able to manage without a car (using trains and taxis). It would be a great base for exploring the Cape, but we were less ambitious - enjoying the False Bay coast, walking on Fishhoek and Muizenberg beaches, eating out and shopping for books in Kalk Bay and watching bird life in the wetlands right across the street from the cottage. And we were also happy spending time in the cottage and cooking for ourselves in the well-equipped kitchen.
