Lovely relaxing place

Zen is a most appropriate word. The house is 1km from the town centre and beach, up on the eastern hillside with great views. The garden is a sanctuary, and we saw many birds and butterflies plus a cat. There is a lovely pool, albeit a tad chilly at this time of year. The house is very spacious, especially for the 3 of us. Everything works. The kitchen has a range of appliances, and there is a gas braai outside. The en suite bedrooms are roomy and our bed in the master was very comfortable. The shower is a work of art, and great to use. We found the wood fire a benefit on the cooler evenings. It is a lovely feature. We look forward to returning.

Traumhaft schöner Urlaub in wunderschöner Umgebung.

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit im Ferienhaus der Familie Hall. Das Haus ist traumhaft schön eingerichtet. Nichts hat gefehlt. Die Betten, die Bettwäsche ein Traum. Eddy, der Hausmeister hat uns verwöhnt. Das Ferienhaus liegt sehr gut um alles gut zu erreichen, Camps Bay, Cape der guten Hoffnung und alle Weingüter Wir kommen gerne wieder
