Amazing views, cute property but could be excellent with a few minor tweaks
Communication with Uta was very good despite her having to be out of the country upon our arrival. She sent very clear instructions on where to park and how to access the property.
Regarding the location, the town of Fish Hoek isn’t at all salubrious - it’s quite tired but there are a couple of really sweet cafes. Simons Town and Kalk Bay are nearby though so the town of Fish Hoek is easy to avoid - and it does have a beautiful beach!
The location of the property itself though is lovely, up a quiet road with plenty of beautiful houses in the neighbourhood.
The property is lovely, everything is as described in the listing and the photos donut justice. There were just a few things missing which would take the property from “good” to “excellent “.
Adding the following would be really helpful:
- a welcome message within the house, a map of the local area showing where supermarkets, restaurants etc could be found
- a hairdryer
- a small safe
- replacing the sheer curtain in the main bedroom so that the sun doesn’t pour in first thing in the morning
- a curtain or blind in the upstairs room.
- cushions for the sun loungers
- new (even second hand) coffee table as the glass in the center of the existing one was missing
- more tealights for when the load shedding (planned government power cuts) kicks in
All that said, the house was comfortable, really nicely decorated, very clean and we enjoyed our time there looking out over the magnificent views. This really is a special property and just a few minor tweaks could make it absolutely stunning.
