Front.On the beach.Tranquil. Charming.Inviting.

JohanitaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Our second time in the best location ever. The new renovations are just what the gem needed to make it more open. Especially the new covered deck in front overlooking the ocean with new built in braai. The best location because away from the main beach and so nice just to walk out the door with your surfboard under your arm and 1 minute later you are in the ocean. We will definitely be back very soon. Thanks a lot for and amazing week.

Beachfront Condo with Incredible Sea Views

RavellaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I must say this has been the absolute best Air Bnb experience we have had - and we have had some really great stays at others. From the time of booking the hosts went out of their way to ensure we got what we needed and more so - even to the extent of buying an air fryer for our stay prior to us arriving. Place was spotless as per the photos, Hosts were great ! everything was there - milk in the fridge, plenty of utensils , sugars, tea and coffee! it really was like being home away from home and there is nothing we could fault! We will definitely look to book this place for our next stay in PE!

Beach, Mountain & Pool side home - no loadshedding

RobinaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Our stay was absolutely lovely! The house offers a beautiful view of Hout bay Harbour and Beach. You can easily and safely walk down the street to the beach, to the main road. We stayed as a family with a 2 year old child and had a wonderful stay. The equipment in the house was sufficient. The location is quite windy but that is Cape Town and Hout bay. Carrie was a great host and offered all the help You need. Thanks again!

Contemporary Barn style house

GizelleRating, 5 stars4 days ago
A stunning home with beautiful finishes; spacious enough to accomodate our party of 8. It has everything you need and such special care has been taken with special touches in the bathroom and kitchen. The large backyard also provided hours of fun for a game of boulle! Walking distance to the market and excellent coffee shops. Only thing to note is that the pool water is icey cold, given that no sunlight gets to it. But that aside, we will still no doubt book to stay again.

We had a great time staying at this place. It was clean, spacious and close to all vicinities. It was in a very safe and secure complex that we were able to take our newborn for walks. It included everything we needed and a few extras that we won’t normally get - e.g. air fryer, Nespresso machine, including pods, le creuset utensils. Easy check in and check out.

Newly renovated townhouse within a secure estate.

JackyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was our second stay at Jacquie's place. The townhouse's location is ideal if you like privacy and peace. Inside everything is neat, and everything you need is there, including coffee maker and air fryer. The air-conditioner is sufficient to cool the whole unit and an evaporative cooler is available when needed. Everything was in place and easy to find. There were clear instructions to use everything, including the generator. I would definitely recommend it, even for longer stays. Thanks again Jacquie for making everything so easy and comfortable.
