    I am nitpicking for something here. Gas bottle was empty so we couldn’t use the oven and the kettle leaked but these are minor things and there was a microwave and stovetop so all good. But we advised the host we would use the alternatives so not really a negative and I am sure they would have fixed it asap if we asked but we told them it was ok. So in saying this, these things really can’t be seen as a negative. Fab place overall, recommend booking this place for families heaps of room! And super secure!

    Wonderful size apt, great views. Loved the additional security door inside. Comfy, beds were great which was such a great bonus! Large fridge, kitchen was dated but had everything we needed. Hosts communication was amazing, we had a water burst due to a bust pipe in the area due to a major storm and they kept us updated constantly, can’t fault the service of the host. Car was behind and electric gate. It was nicely furnished, and just feel comfy. This place is a goodie!

    As per my last stay, would be great if the property invested in heating appliances. Having stayed in May and August the cold is severe in the apartment. I’m May it was tolerable but in August it’s unbearable. A few heaters would do the trick.

    Second stay at this property, always love the homely feeling. It’s a home away from home, the decor and all the appliances. Beautiful view of the ocean, mountains and Chapman’s Peak. Great sunrise and sunsets.

    We arived after dark and struggled to find the entrance as there is no signage visible There was some exta or damaged furniture on the porch that was out of place and made the first impression not as good should the porch have been left tidy. The garden need some attention although not major and did not impact our stay as it was quite cold and we did not spend time outside.

    Very Spacious, and very comfortable space to relax, with everything you need for our stay. The kitchen is well equiped for longer stays. Beds had crisp clean linnen and very comfortable. Rooms were decorated with style with the added bonus of a magical view from the main bedroom! Sent

    The property was bigger than expected. Everything was so comfortable, from the beds to the lounge. The view is beautiful from both balconies. There is many attraction areas and restaurants. The place was clean and tidy, even the outside area was well kept. Would love to go back in summer days.

    Would of preferred keys to lock sliding doors rather than just latches, for complete peace of mind, but it was secure so not a big deal.

    Amazing views of Hout Bay , very peaceful location, plenty of space and had everything we needed. Unobtrusive host. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

    Looked for a bread knife but managed without. Also managed without Netflix but that was no big loss either.

    Quiet and scenic location, spacious, well equipped for loadshedding with gas stove and oven and portable lights. Owner was always available to answer any queries via whatsapp.

    There was no sign at the entrance with the name of the unit. The cleaning staff was sitting on our stoep before 09:45 and the one entered before we left. It felt akward to pass them and pack our luggage, while they were waiting for us to leave. We were away at 09:50.

    The view was fabulous. The interior is beautiful. Everything very comfortable and spacious. Really enjoyed our stay.
