Our Seaside cottage must be very high up for the best views in Cape Town. The place is simple, sweet& cozy but with BBQ & veranda for summer. Endless ocean views (whales and dolphins in winter), always a cooling breeze in summer (or the famous South Easter). The cottage is perfectly located so you can escape the hustle but at the same time are close enough to all attractions that Cape Town has to offer! Please note: there are 50 stairs down to the house and read full description before booking The quaint little 1.5 bedroom cottage is located just outside the centre of Fish Hoek. The main bedroom has french doors out to a barbecue area and the veranda. You will be able to see the sun rise from your bed. The second bedroom is a loft opening to the living area with a ladder and feels like a tree house. There are two single beds. (if you are concerned about any party in your booking climbing a ladder to the top room please contact us before booking) Washing machine is provided. Kitchen is equipped with Microwave, gas stove and an oven, toaster, kettle and if you need anything else, just give us a shout The house is located just 15 minutes walk from Fish Hoek beach where the water is warm and crystal clear. To get into Cape Town besides driving you can also just hop onto the cute train leaving close from the house and enjoy the scenery. Please also note that South Africa is currently implementing rolling blackouts called loadshedding. There is an app that announces the times of these blackouts in advance so that one can plan around them. We provide some rechargeable lights in the house and the stove is heated by gas so you can still cook Please note: Our houses are best suited for the adventurous at heart. They are rustic escapes best suited for nature lovers who want an escape from the world. They do come with their quirks, such as stairs or driveways to conquer, and sometimes something may not function as perfectly as it would in a newly built house in a security estate. We are very passionate about describing our listings accurately to correctly set expectations at the risk of appearing off-putting but we just believe that happy guests are the best guests :) So please read before booking: - we use lovely old furniture and doors and finishings but that means that a window or door or cupboard may not close as tightly or that a doorknob and or door may seem more wobbly than in a modern newly built house, or that the bed may squeak a little when you sit down hard on it - this is a third world country and there are certain outages that occur that we can not take responsibility for - these are load shedding and water outages - the house is set in African nature and we have seen Cape grey buck, porcupines, owls, mongoose and a large variety of birds directly around the house. We love this but that also mean that the odd bug or animal may make its way into or onto the house but not out of it. Of course we will not tolerate any infestation inside of the house of anything but it may be possible that you find a millipede, ant, mouse etc on the odd occasion or that you hear a bird or squirrel running across the roof. As part of living in harmony with nature comes not to poison these unwanted tenants but rather trap them as for example many owls die of eating poisoned mice and then a cape caracal may eat the poisoned owl and die as well. Between October and April is windy season in Cape Town we do allow pets at the property and we clean thoroughly after each stay but for example a very hairy cat may have left the odd hair or two, that escaped the cleaners so if you are highly allergic to pet hair, this may affect you We were hesitant to put up an age for kids because everyone brings up their kids so differently. Apart from the stairs it should be noted that the balcony is fenced in a way that the spacing is legal for kids, but if they really really try they can probably squeeze themselves through that, especially if very young and left unattended. It should also be noted that if kids or elderly people sleep in the upstairs room, that they will have to climb stairs to get there.(please refer to the pictures) Read the reviews - our house is fiercely loved by many of our guests as they give you a break from the shackles of suburban clinical life but please bring a bit of an adventure spirit with you :) If you like living in a sterile clean suburban house with high walls around and all luxuries that life has to offer then this may no be the right place for you
