We had an incredible stay in Bekoven. The house was comfortable and felt luxurious with breathtaking views of the ocean and table mountain. The hosts were easy to communicate with and provided an excellent recommendation for a private chef who cooked for us during our stay. The neighborhood had a quaint little playground, was walking distance to a charming rocky beach and was a short drive to camps bay high street.
We are not local to South Africa so therefor not familiar with load shedding but the hosts were very responsive in supplying flashlights and candles for us.
One thing to note is that the house backs up against moderatley busy victoria road so street traffic could be heard from the house and there was also a fair amount of foot traffic of people less fortunate passing by. On a handful of occasions we were solicited for money and we were also urged by the hosts to keep the house locked at all times. Having said that We never felt threatened though and the house was very secure (like a fortress!)
We feel the house was excellent value for what we paid and we had a very memorable stay.
