Carmen's house is located in a lovely part of Hout Bay, surrounded by hills and in walking distance to a foot path into those hills.
Hout Bay beach and Mariners Wharf is only a short drive and all other popular tourist attractions of Cape Town are in easy traveling distance.
The house is divided in to two, with 3 bedrooms making up your section of the house and Carmen inhabiting the rest of the space, with a partition dividing the balcony upstairs. Carmen lives next door and is very hands on for all enquiries.
The kitchen/dining room has a spacious feel with floor to ceiling windows overlooking a beautiful garden and the mountains. You get good sunlight in here throughout the afternoon, making it hot in summer, but there's a nice pool to cool off and blinds to pull down. In winter it warms the space nicely, although there is no fire, only gas heaters, which you have to pay extra for gas, as you do electricity.
There is only one shower/bathroom and upstairs toilet for the 3 bedrooms, although there is a toilet downstairs.
The beds are comfortable and both bedrooms have nice views.
