This home really lives up to its name if you truly want to be ‘Watching Waves’! The home was lovely and comfortable and the views were amazing. The location of the home was so close to the beach and allowed me to have the view of the valley and the beach which I totally love. The hosts were kind enough to offer extra fencing for kids safety tho this was not required in the end - (may be for much younger children).
The home was clean and the layout of the home was simple, easy, free flowing and well designed in that all bedrooms and even the kitchen has a view of the beach! I really totally loved the sunroom and the lazy floppy couches which allowed some downtime for me and kids to just enjoy or some reading in. The kitchen was lovely and big and lovely appliances supplied for use.
The best part of the home was it’s amazing huge balcony and the beautiful tables chairs / deck furniture supplied.
Simple amenities were supplied like coffee, tea, spare milk, soaps, first lot of toilet rolls etc. There is also two fridges which while we didn’t need the extra one, I’m sure would be a welcome addition to those who purchase a lot for a longer stay. The tv had full DSTV and and WiFi was all up to scratch and working well.
I have rated this stay 4.5 stars because having stayed in numerous other places in Fish Hoek for the past 3 years every December the following suggestions and nice to haves (while minor make a difference);
1. It would help if the hosts were to supply beach towels. This will help most guests especially those traveling from out of town and not having to pack these in their luggage.
2. While there is a dishwasher washing dishes with no draining rack made stacking dishes that I didn’t want to put in the dishwasher or when I didn’t want to do a load but simply wash by hand a bit cumbersome. Having this in any kitchen is a given and would be a nice if not a necessity.
Once again these are just finer / minor but certainly wouldn’t preclude me from staying here again! :)
