Very well equipped and stylish house with wonderful sea views
Mary and Thierry have created a wonderful holiday home which is imaginative and extremely well equipped: the large amount of crockery and cutlery was a real boon to efficient use of the dishwasher during the current water shortage.
Gillian very kindly stayed late to welcome us and asked for any constructive comments about what would enhance the house so here goes:
1. Some sunloungers for round the very nice pool.
2. Some written I instructions for the oven which we found a bit mystifying though we overcame that and also enjoyed using the excellent Braai.
3. The outside lights over the drive seem to be on a sensor but weren’t working. We felt very secure in the house: it is a very peaceful neighbourhood and the house is well fenced and gated. There are instructions on how to set the alarm at night when in the house, which we would have liked to do but never got around to reading the instructions fully enough; it did look way more complex than the simple colour coded buttons for all other aspects of the alarm and gates, all of which operated very easily and effectively.
So very little to be at all critical of and we enjoy d the house immensely; the sea views and the panoramic windows and dining on the terrace.
We found this a good base for the cape peninsula, getting to cape point and resorts on false bay. I think the house would work really well for families with small children who want a beach oriented holiday, less well if you want easy access to the city which is about a 50 minute drive, but we weren’t bothered by that as we had planned a separate base for a week in the city and sightseeing there.
Thanks Mary Thierry and Gillian, we hope to visit PingusHouse again some time.
