My family and I stayed at this lovely house for two months, and it was really hard to leave as it felt like home to us! We came to Cape Town specifically to have our third baby. The house was very ideal for our family- my husband and I, 5 year old, 2.4 year old, newborn (for half the time!), and our nanny. The host/ caretaker made what could be a stressful experience having a new baby in another country very easy, relaxing, and peaceful. Thanks!

The house was spacious, light-filled, and very comfortable for our family. It has amazing views of the ocean and mountains- I am missing waking up to the sunrise each morning! The kitchen is well-equipped with dishes and enough utensils to cook with. There is great outdoor patio space and some green space that the children enjoyed. There is DSTV and internet that was fast, and a washing machine, so it was easy to make this our home base.

As long-term guests each Wednesday someone came and did a thorough clean, along with the gardener, and the caretaker, Brian. Brian was great and very kind, and the house was left clean with new linens and towels each week. The hosts and caretaker were very accommodating and helpful- they connected us with locals to inquire about the hospital where I was giving birth, offered to do grocery runs, responded quickly to fix the TV package that wasn't working, and even left lovely flowers when we returned from the hospital with the baby. They were wonderful hosts/ caretakers- very attentive and they clearly care for and take good care of the house.

The location of the house was wonderful. It is very quiet and peaceful, but a quick 5 minute drive or 10/15 minute walk down the mountain to access grocery stores in Muizenberg, video rental store, and the great beach there in town. Kalk Bay is just a short 5-10 minute drive north, and Simons Town/ Boulder's Beach (penguins!) is just further another 10 minutes or so. It is easy to hop on the M3, M4, or M5 and be just about anywhere in the Western Cape in 30 minutes or so (unless it's rush hour traffic, of course!). It's really an ideal jumping off point to explore the beaches, mountains, and the entire Western Cape.

Thanks for a wonderful and pleasant stay! We hope to be back!
