The position of the kitchen sink was a little awkward with the downward slope of the thatch (but we loved the thatch). Second bedroom OK for 2 kids but a little small for 2 adults (fortunately we were one adult per bedroom).

Fantastic host, great location (not in city centre but near Hout Bay, Kirstenbosch Gardens, Newlands Forest), comfortable beds and sitting and dining area.

Very convinient location! Beautiful garden!! Great spacious appartment

Stayed in January 2025

The styling of the thach roof is very charming, however, low on the ends which restricts movement.

Beautiful views. Kind hosts. Spacious unit. Clean and neat.

There is nothing I can say I did not like.

We have stayed here before and loved the setting, location and ambiance. The owners were available and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing holiday.

We loved its setting and view from the balcony and the lovely garden and swimming pool Everything you needed was provided and was of a high standard

Stayed in February 2024

A little out of the way so definitely need a car to stay here and easy to get to places. Some of the items in the unit were a little dated and damaged, but was not really an issue for us.

Friendly welcome from the owners and beautiful setting and gardens. Good value for money. Nice private plunge pool to use in such hot weather. Recommend to other travellers.

Some loungers in the garden by the pool would have been a welcome addition so that one could enjoy the tranquillity of the lovely mature garden in the pool /brai area

The location and spacious living room/kitchen Lovely welcome from house sitter Janine

Make sure you don't press random buttons or switches where you think a light switch might be as it may be a panic button, and the power outlets could be more conveniently situated.

Nestled in a beautiful part of Hour Bay with wonderful mountain views, this apartment is a self-contained gem. With a private garden (and outdoor shower too), the facilities inside and out are wonderful. The hosts are friendly and knowledgeable.

The place is amazing with the most beautiful view of Table Mountain. The scenery was amazing too. Very tranquil. The host Ian and his wife went over and above to ensure that we are comfortable.

Beautiful hiking spots in the area and stunning views.

The view is stunning, the garden is super beautiful. The host is super nice and helpful!! It is a very quite area and still not fare away from all the tourist sports.

A wonderful self contained cottage, very peaceful and private. Secure parking on the grounds. Ian was a wonderful host, met us and showed us around. Very spacious with its own garden area, great security

When I go on holiday the last thing I want to do is clean up my room or wash dishes- I feel the price charged should incorporate this. I had requested to leave a little later as my flight was only at 17.45 and that request was blue ticked. As a traveller I have found previous tenants will accommodate you especially since i had to deal with an 84 year old, i would have even been prepared to pay extra just to keep her comforatbal till like 12 pm etc.

We were not offered breakfast it was self catering

prachtige plek, fijn zwembad, lieve mensen.

Fabulous stay, comfortable and clean. Friendly owners,. Lovely dogs, my boys love everything about there! Near beach and township. Away from city yet easy to access to restaurants and supermarkets too..

Really, nothing.

Great location for exploring Hout Bay and cape point. Its in a beautiful setting. The cottage had everything we needed and they provided lots of local information.

Everything was perfect.

I would definitely recommend it. Very friendly owners. We loved it there.

This has been pointed out by several guests - the building is very awkward. It is built with a very steep roof that eats into the living spaces, my wife of 1.7m had to be careful not to bump her head against the trusses. Then you also had to climb 15 steps to reach the cabin! Kitchen is of no use, can't even wash dishes - we had to rely on eating out for the duration of our stay. TV is of no use and seriously needs an upgrade, both in hardware and software - "Open View" is VERY outdated! Bed in main bedroom needs to be replaced, worn out and very uncomfortable. There is a nice pool, but the area (braai grid, table) is not clean, could not use it. Cabin is along a very busy road (would say main road into Hout Bay) and it is very difficult to get onto the road with traffic from both sides. For the money charged, one can do better in Hout Bay!

Hosts Ali & Ian were friendly and courteous

Flies were alot and bothered us alot. This was the only negative

Location was very good. Good facilities Owners were warm and welcoming!

Stayed in January 2025

The place felt like it wasn't used in a long time. Alot of cobwebs, winter beddings. Location was a bit far off from most places.

The kitchen was fully equipped. Accommodation was very spacious. Host was very helpful, will gladly stay again.

Stayed in December 2023

The place is old and unfurnished, and was not adequately prepared for guests. There was barely any kitchen tools and the kettle was dirty. Overall, the place was unhygenic and uncomfortable to stay.

Stayed in April 2023

The hosts Ian and Ali were lovely and welcoming. The location was great too, was close to shops and restaurants. It was the perfect base to tour around Cape Town and surrounding area. Bays and table too mountain and other exceptional sights are very accessible.
