Family-friendly, sunny holiday home with pool, splendid views and solar power

NEW FROM OCTOBER 2022: SOLAR POWER PLUS BATTERY BACKUP!
Don´t be annoyed any more by the frequent power cuts ("load shedding") because you are independent!

This house, which was completely renovated in September 2017, is located in Hout Bay, a fishing harbour with a wonderful sandy beach and great infrastructure, a mere 20 minutes from Cape Town and half an hour away from the airport. Facing north, the property guarantees many hours of sunshine, so hop into the private pool to cool off! The brand new furniture together with the stylish large-scale pictures contribute to an airy and laid-back atmosphere.

Good news for guests with children: Our household is well equipped with two baby cots, two high chairs, a baby rug, toys for inside oustide including a plastic scooter for the winding walkways in the garden, an inflatable splash pool, swimming aids, and, last but not least, a toilet training seat.

For a combination of work and vacation the high-speed glass fibre internet connetion will be useful which also allows internation videoconferencing. And to make sure you don´t lose contact in case of a power cut ("load shedding"), an inverter is available which provides power to the router from a battery.

Should you visit in winter, you may use the underfloor heating to get comfy (excess electricity to be paid at rate charged to us).

The house is situated in a quiet cul de sac in a friendly and open neighbourhood. Park your rental car (recommended) in the garage with automatic door opener. Sitting on the generously sized patio you have a fantastic view of the last of the "Twelve Apostles", a mountain range which extends from the famous Table Mountain to the south. Don’t miss the sunset!

Don´t worry about the much-publicized water shortage. Since pool and garden receive water from rainwater storage tanks, the amount of drinking water allotted by the city suffices for all needs.

There is so much to do and to see. You are just five minutes away from the famous Chapman’s Peak Drive, one of the most spectacular coastal roads in the world. Drive further and you will reach the Cape of Good Hope.

To see the sights of Cape Town take the Hop-on-hop-off Tourbus which has several stops in Hout Bay. A more direct route is a trip on MyCityBus, an excellent public transport service taking you into the heart of the Mother City. Further attractions such as the pengiun colony of Simonstown (kids love Boulders Beach where you can swim with the penguins) or whalewatching in Hermanus are easily reached by car. Activities for children include a visit to Africa’s largest Bird Park „World of Birds“, enjoying a meal in one of the many child-friendly restaurants with playgrounds, painting your personal cup in the Clay Café, a boat ride to Duiker Island to see the seals, or lazing on the wide beach – all of which are situated right here in Hout Bay!

You will find all kinds of shops in Hout Bay, and you can walk to many of them. Hout Bay boasts four supermarkets, several pharmacies, a book shop, fashion stores and many more. Don’t miss the fish shops in the harbour where you can buy the catch of the day for prices unheard of in Europe!
And if you feel like eating out just choose from the numerous restaurants offering meals ranging from simple to classy – „classy“ describing the quality not the price.
Again, don’t miss the fish restaurants at the beach, just a three minute drive from your holiday home. We are confident that you will feel at home here and will fully enjoy your stay in SA.

During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be within walking distance of Table Mountain National Park. Enjoy features like an outdoor pool and 1 hot tub. Free WiFi and a private pool are available in the holiday home.
  • The holiday home offers a private pool, a kitchen and a washing machine
  • Free WiFi
  • Take a swim in the outdoor pool or soak in the hot tub
  • 12 minutes on foot from Table Mountain National Park and a 3-minute drive from Cape Floral Region Protected Areas
Family-friendly, sunny holiday home with pool, splendid views and solar power offers its guests an outdoor pool and Access to hot tub. Family-friendly, sunny holiday home with pool, splendid views and solar power also features barbecue grills and a garden.

Een huiselijk verblijf, prima communicatie
We hebben ons verblijf in het huis van Thomas en Claudia als zeer prettig ervaren. De lijnen met de verhuurders zijn kort en betrouwbaar. Ter plaatse verzorgen de aangestelde managers Tendai en Douglas je goed: je kunt altijd bij ze terecht. De locatie is super: dichtbij het strand en de winkels/ horeca van het pittoreske Hout bay. Vanaf deze locatie ben je ook snel in Kaapstad, zeker als je de spectaculaire kustweg pakt. De omgevjng, omgeven door bergen en groen, is sowieso een aanrader. Het huis is goed onderhouden met een lekker zwembad (wij waren er echter in de winter). Er zijn drie slaapkamers en twee badkamers en de keuken is niet super luxe maar alles is aanwezig. Vooral het superieure cappucino direct apparaat van Delonghi was een eyecatcher. Al met al een prima prijs/kwaliteitsverhouding en een superuitvalsbasis voor kaapstad en omgeving. En een veilige buurt met strakke private security. Met een gerust hart te boeken!
