The open-plan lounge and dining area is perfect for catching up, playing games, or winding down around the fireplace on cooler evenings. The kitchen is fully equipped for everyday meals, with everything you need to feel right at home. A sunny back nook offers a quiet spot to relax with a book or cup of coffee.

Outside, you’ll find a saltwater splash pool and shaded dining area: great for lazy afternoons, a refreshing dip, or laid-back meals with loved ones. It's a comfortable space to enjoy good weather and simple moments.

The Neighborhood:

Fish Hoek is a charming coastal town located on the Cape Peninsula in South Africa. Known for its picturesque beaches, scenic mountains, and tranquil atmosphere, Fish Hoek offers visitors a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway. The town is also home to a variety of local shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike.



Getting Around:

Although the house is central, we believe that it would be better to rent a car HOWEVER, Uber is available in the area. There are grocery delivery apps if you decide not to hire a car and rather use Uber. Uber just won't take you inside Cape Point etc but there are tours available for that. The house is also about a 10 min walk to the train station and the blue train is awesome, safe and clean. This train will take you all the way to the CBD for an extraordinarily low price of around R20 return per ticket.



Other Things to Note:

House rules:

- smoking only outdoors

- no parties / excess noise and shouting

- no pets

- lost keys = R500 replacement fee
