A beautifully located property with great potential, but unfortunately let down by poor maintenance

What we really enjoyed about this property was its perfect location, offering breathtaking views of both Table Mountain and the ocean—a truly stunning backdrop for a getaway. The rooms and living areas were spacious. We also appreciated the high-quality linen, which added a touch of comfort and luxury to our stay.

− We recently stayed at this property and while it is indeed beautiful and has great potential, there were several maintenance and comfort issues that unfortunately detracted from our experience. The electrical maintenance is below standard—there was a plug with exposed live wires in the TV room, which is not only unacceptable but a safety hazard. Additionally, three of the bedroom TVs were unusable, each displaying a message to "Check the aerial cable and check saved channels." In the main braai area, the floor tiles were loose and uneven, and although the built-in braai was superficially cleaned, the actual grill area was dirty. Seating consisted of uncomfortable plastic chairs, which did not match the expected standard for a leisure property. On the ground floor, we found a small portable braai that was still dirty with ashes and an unclean grid. Again, there was no proper seating or a usable table, making it difficult to enjoy a relaxed braai experience as a family. Inside the house, we encountered several functionality issues: The stacking doors leading to the main outdoor view were extremely difficult to open and close—practically stuck, which was frustrating given the appeal of that view. Most of the blinds in the house could not open properly The dining table had a large, obvious crack through the heavy wood, making it feel unstable and not ideal for families with children. The kitchenware was not properly cleaned—we actually found a dirty plate with hardened food still stuck on it, stacked among clean dishes in the cupboard. This raised hygiene concerns. We had to wash glasses and plates before use. Overall, while the setting and design of the home suggest a premium family getaway, the lack of maintenance and thoughtful furnishings around key communal areas like the braai and dining table made it difficult to enjoy quality time together.

I liked the fact that it felt like 3 separate flats. It offered each family some privacy yet the upstairs area had a big kitchen, dining room and lounge to allow for everyone to get together.

− Access to the beach was not great. Can’t really access from the back as the gate was locked and not working. Access to the beach from the front was better but there is no pedestrian gate. Only one gate remote was provided and we had to climb over the wall if you didn’t have the remote. One cannot leave the gate open if you have small kids. The streaming services were not signed in so there was little entertainment during downtime. Some of the tvs are dumb tvs with no streaming services making them useless.
