Wonderful cliffside accomodation

We had a great stay in Fish Hoek in August 2018 in this unforgettable cliffside cottage. The accommodation itself is well-equipped and very comfortable, and beautifully presented and clean, with good beds. The views across False Bay are breathtaking and change by the minute - sunshine, storms (we had hail!), rainbows. We enjoyed watching seals playing in the kelp below. The kids loved just sitting on the window bench reading, or looking out to sea. To get such an incredible view you have to be fit enough to manage the 60 steepish steps to reach the front door and, inside the house, the staircase to the upper bedroom needs care with small children. We were able to walk easily to Fish Hoek for a great dinner in Barracudas, and Kalk Bay was a short drive away (a bit more modish with a few more restaurants - recommend Satori for pizza). We reached Cape Town centre by car in about 40 mins, and Cape Point was a similar sort of time (with a stop for the penguins in Simon's Town). The area is also good for running, I enjoyed joining several other joggers on an early morning run to Simon's Town and back (c. 7 miles) along the sea footpath. We also appreciated the strong efforts being made here to encourage water management during the drought. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Charmantes Ferienhaus mit fantastischem Ausblick

Wir hatten 5 sehr schöne Tage im Ferienhaus in Fishoek. Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, was man für einen Aufenthalt mit Selbstverpflegung braucht. Die gestreifte Couch und der Ausblick auf die Bucht haben es uns angetan. Auf der Terasse lässt sich wunderbar das Meer beobachten, wir hatten das Glück Robben beim Spielen zuschauen zu können. Es ist ein sehr sicherer Ort, Kapstadt ist schnell erreichbar, ebenso Cape Point oder Simons Town. Die Kommunikation war sehr angenehm und herzlich. Ein Ort, den wir unbedingt weiter empfehlen können. Danke Uta!

A lovely cottage with amazing view

We spent 10 very enjoyable days in this lovely cottage suspended above the ocean. We could even see a few whales from the balcony! And thanks again to Uta who was both kind and helpful.

Quaint Chalet with breathtaking views

We had a wonderful week long stay at this quaint chalet built 65 steps down from the access road and suspended over the cliff face. It had phenomenal views over the ocean. It is well designed to maximise the scenery, well equipped and comfortable with recently added Wi-Fi being a big bonus. It provides a good base for touring whether it be to Cape Town or Cape Point or further afield with good road access. Uta is very responsive to queries and was most helpful during our stay.
