Thatched Historic House with Wonderful Sea Views
Recently Renovated and minutes Walk to the Beach
Sleeps 8 (4 Bedrooms)
|
|
Beautiful thatched house, classified a historic monument, which was extended and completely renovated in 2008/9. This is a spacious, light and airy holiday home overlooking Fishoek Bay, one of the safest and warmest bathing beaches on the Cape peninsula. Supermarkets and all the usual amenities are also on hand within 10 mins walk or 2 mins drive in Fishoek town centre. Cape Town Waterfront, The Winelands and Cape Point are all within 40 mins drive and there are plenty of great restaurants and bars to suit all budgets within 10 mins drive at Kalk Bay and Simonstown. There are also top class golf courses nearby at Clovelly and Westlake, and numerous others within 40-60 minutes drive. In short this is a great base from which to explore the many activities that the Cape region has to offer. Pets are not permitted and as the house is approached from the road up relatively steep stairs, it's not really suitable for toddlers and buggies. Daily maid service is available at extra cost.
