We booked Philippe's place at short notice after deciding to spend the last few days of our trip in the Hout Bay area and genuinely couldn't be happier about it. The house looks even better than on the photos, the estate feels so peaceful and safe - and the views are nothing short of breathtaking. The housekeepers Sylvester and Yvonne were there for some of our stay and were incredibly pleasant and helpful. Philippe handled check in himself and went to the trouble of adding a few incredibly thoughtful and generous extra touches which we really appreciated - it was really like staying at the house of a good friend. We'd be delighted to come back, and will happily recommend Philippe's house to friends or family that find themselves in Cape Town.
