The accommodation at 21 Darling Street was great. House was sunny, comfortable, and just like home from home. The greeting was great and the booking was very efficient, even though being a first time bnb booker I had no idea if it would function or not. The organization was good from the very first moment. There was plenty of room for all us and the organization with the kids was top class too. It’s always nice to know that kids are welcome from camping cot right down to high chair for our baby on tour! The alarm system functioned well too, except for one mishap when we activated the alarm the security company called right away and we were well informed about what to do. We were rather concerned about the security on the property being close to Mandela Park and hearing several stories about safety in Hout Bay. Nevertheless everything worked out well with activating the beams going out of the property, as well as switching on alarms at night time. Pam was there to greet us right away upon arrival. Washing facilities were also available this is always nice when you’ve children on holiday as well and after visits to the beach nice to be able to rinse out swimming towels and beach gear. Kitchen equipment was available too, so we could cook as we needed for the family. Nice location in close proximity to beach, restaurants and shops to stock up supplies for the family. Parking for our big 7 seater bus was also available on the property, so we didn’t have to worry about where to park or if the car would be safe. The upstairs balcony was our favorite little place to sit in the evenings drinking a glass or two of wine, with nice views to the sea and overlooking the very pretty terrace and garden. Very cozy indeed. The salt water pool was wonderful, even though at times too cold for us as the weather had changed a little, and the water had cooled down. We loved the comfortable upstairs gallery lounge with big comfortable couches, a couple of our family members even chose to move to the fold out couch in this lounge because of the warm inviting feeling that this lounge had to offer. Breakfast were super at the large round table which suited the family set up perfectly. Unfortunately we weren’t home enough to use the outdoor grilling facility as we were on the go too much, but managed to spend a couple of afternoons outdoors in the courtyard thoroughly enjoying the setting of tea and coffee in a closed protected area. Feeding the fishies were a highlight our two little toddlers. Bedrooms were nicely decorated with on suite bathroom in the main bedroom, a very nice set up when more than one family are staying in the house. All bed linen and towels were on hand too, this was really great. Beds were extremely comfortable, thanks very much indeed.
