From the moment we arrived at Stoneyview Michelle made us feel really welcome as did her dog Blue who greeted us each morning and welcomed us in the driveway after we had been out for the day. Michelle even left a bottle of wine and some sweets for our first evening in the cottage. She provided us with lots of useful information about local restaraunts and shops and was easily contactable for any queries we might have.
We had a wonderful relaxing staying at the property, which is really peaceful. The accomodation itself was extremely comfortable and clean with decor in keeping with the setting. All the amenities we needed to make meals were available. Michelle even arranged for our clothes to be washed and hung out to dry on the Monday after we arrived. She also provided lots of interesting books to read both fiction and non-fiction and some games to play, which were very useful on the one or two rainy days during our stay.
There is an area to sit outside to have breakfast and a beautiful decking area around the swimming pool with sunloungers and outdoor furniture, which has magnificent views over Hout Bay. There is also a shaded area in the garden with a hammock and table and chairs, where we were able to cool off and have a relaxing lunch.
The property is within walking distance of the local shops and restaraunts and the beach, although it is a steep walk up the hill back, so we tended to drive however this would be doable in an Uber also.
Stoneyview is in a great position to get to Chapman's Peak Drive, Constantia wine estates and Kirstenbosch and many other places besides. If you didn't have a car I believe it would be fairly easy to get around on the red hop on hop off buses.
We had an amazing stay at Stoneyview and thanks so much Michelle for making our time at your place so memorable and for your fantastic hospitality, we would definitely stay at Stoneyview again if we came back to Capetown, many thanks Adrienne and Lionel.
