We had an amazing time! Hout bay is a very safe and beautiful neighborhood. Don’t forget to check out “the dune”, a restaurant at the beach. There is a Woolworth and everything else you need only a short drive away down the hill (we would though recommend you to get a rental car). The drive down to cape town takes about half an hour. Unfortunately we didn’t meet Ian himself but his maid was very lovely. The beds are very comfortable and the entire house is very well equipped. The view from the garden is amazing! We will definitely come back and we thank Ian from our hearts for the great time we had at his lovely place.
