We were a family of 5 traveling from the U.S. and in looking for a property near Cape Town, we wanted to find something charming, but away from the chaos of the city. The house is situated about 10 minutes walk from the Hout Bay beach and wharf area. We loved building sand castles while watching the local dogs have the time of their lives playing on the beach. The house is also close to a supermarket and the Bay Harbour Market, which is a quaint, lively market filled with local artists selling art and delicious eateries. It's also a stone's throw away from Chapman's Peak drive and the Boulder Beach penguins. We felt completely safe at the home and there was plenty of room to spread out or cuddle up on the cozy sofas with some of the softest blankets ever. The kids enjoyed the pool and the adults enjoyed the stunning view which can be seen from anywhere in the main living area. Sheena and her husband were responsive and made us feel cared which is important when traveling with kids. Hands down, this is one of the best, most well-equipped properties we have ever stayed in and the kindest, most authentic hosts.
