We liked to stay with Athol and Ali very much. The openness and hospitality were beyond our expectations. Athol and Ali are both very open, warm-hearted, and generous people, who invited us to have dinner with them, shared stories, took us on a hike and gave us lots of tips for the area.
The room is like in the photos and has an adjacent bathroom with a good working hot shower, a fridge, a microwave, a hot water kettle, free coffee and tea and a bottly of wine. And we loved the (typical South African) rusks cookies which we found next to the coffee. It has plenty of space in the big cupboards for cloths and a nice big mirror. The bed is really big and comfy for a couple.
During the day we were laying at the pool and in the evening we cooked a few times in the kitchen, which we were able to use because Athol and Ali really share their house with their guests. They're very engaged and experienced hosts and love hosting and meeting people from all over the world. At the same time, we had all the privacy we wanted.
Once week there was a cleaning lady changing the bedding.
The house is very secure. We quickly got used to switching the alarm on and off and closing the gate with a remote control.
Staying here gave us a great start and connected us to Hout Bay.
