Nevo's place was exactly as listed. Pictures were very accurate and the decor was fantastic.
Pros:-
- Beautiful interior & amazing book collection!
- Steps from the beach with private entrance
- Walkable to Grocery & some restaurants
- Beautiful location with gorgeous views
- Detailed instructions and very helpful local recommendations
Cons:-
- Very tough getting Ubers
- Main gate entrance was inaccessible during loadshedding which had us stuck a few times
- Rooftop Grill was very new and fell apart on first use, had to stop grilling
- Living room couch was musty and old, needed cleaning
- Lack of clean blankets & bedding for long stay
Ultimately there's a lot to like about Nevo's place. But if you have majority of your tours/excursions booked downtown, I recommend checking with your operators whether they will pick you up in Hout Bay. It is approximately a 25-30 min drive to downtown locations. I would also highly recommend renting a car to avoid Uber frustrations.
