This is an absolutely stunning location. It is a few minutes walk from two of the best beaches in Cape Town - the small but utterly delightful Bakoven and Beta beaches where swimming in the Atlantic is delicious. It’s close enough to the beach without being on the busy main road. This meant our household of adults and older children could come and go as we pleased with no need for transport as we all walked down when we felt like it. The views from the house are exquisite and the swimming pool and garden are a real treat. We loved the little lookout bench there. The communal area is spacious and the couches are very comfortable - we tended to gather in the central kitchen area which was loads of fun. The two main bedrooms have lovely patios with ocean views. And the smaller room opens onto the garden. One room has its own bathroom and the other a shared one but for a family it works perfectly.
The house is older than some in Bakoven which means it doesn’t have the soulless feel of some of the more modern homes in the area. Instead this place has heart and a warm energy. And above all Odette is an incredible host - responsive, kind and generous. We cannot wait to come back and are already planning when that will be - thank you Odette
