The ocean view from this house is exceptional. However, there is a few items that people considering this house should be aware of. The following are the Pro and cons of this property
Pros:
-One of the premier locations in Cape Town. The ocean views from the property are stunning
-The master bedroom suite is great, and the second bedroom is nice with great ocean views
-The front living room and kitchen area is nice, and takes great advantage of the ocean views
-The pool, deck and Braai area were very nice
Cons:
-The third bedroom is far below the standards of the rest of the house. The view from this bedroom is the washer and dryer up against a brick wall, and of the garbage bins, which attract insects into the bedroom if the window was open.
-The fourth bedroom in in the basement and accesses through a separate entrance, with no wifi signal.
-The basement study is accessed through the main house with access via a very steep set of circular stairs, which were very difficult to descend, particularly for those with mobility issues.
-Access to the house is from the main street above the property, via a large number of uneven and steep brick stairs. Anybody with mobility issues will have a difficult time getting up and down these stairs. Getting our luggage into and out of the property was difficult - however we did have help from the on-site maintenance person to help carry our luggage up and down the stair which was very much appreciated.
Overall
This is a great unit for a two couples without mobility issues, or perhaps a family of six. But we had four couples which required the use of the Basement bedroom and the third main floor bedrooms which were not to the standard of the rest of the house. I would not recommend this property for those with mobility challenges as the uneven stairs and tight stair spiral staircase were a challenge for us.
