The view!! And that the apartment was clean.

The amount of stairs to the apartment was a problem because I asked about it and was told that there’s a few stairs… but the apartment where we were booked had around 15 uneven steps. Which was a big problem for my friend who has MS😰😪

Great location, the just Ivan was super friendly and very quick to respond. They even did our washing for us. Big beautiful apartment with everything we needed.

Only issue was the double bed in the master was very small.

Incredible location overlooking the bay, beautiful apartment with everything needed for a very comfortable stay. Ivan and Angie the owner/hosts were a lovely couple committed to ensuring we had everything to make our visit perfect. It's an ideal location to visit Simon's Town, Noordhoek and many other stand out spots, we've loved our time here.
