Beautiful place and super service. Room was lit up with blazing sun at 5am but if you don’t mind that then it’s a great place to stay..

Thank you Ivan for recommending the 2 apartments with limited steps for my elderly mom. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The breathtaking views over False Bay are awesome. Well located, clean and comfortable.

Neptune apartment: you have to conquer a very steep and narrow staircase to get to the apartment. Blackout curtains missing therefore there is light from the lamp right above the bedroom window and the morning sun.

If you love a stunning view over a beautiful bay, close enough to the beach to walk there and back, this is the perfect spot for you in Fish Hoek. The apartments are great but what impressed even more was the service. Simple WhatsApp communication meant efficient, effective service and nothing was too much trouble. I loved it there.

A clean, spacious self-catering apartment with a fantastic view of False Bay. A friendly host and cleaning staff. Cleaning and clothes washing and ironing done by the staff. Good internet and multi-channel T.V.

Property overlooks False Bay with magnificent sea views. Location is on a quiet street with easy access to amenities. Our apartment is ideally suited to a couple with a well fitted kitchen and with lounge and bedroom overlooking the sea.

Ivan was definitely the most caring host throughout our 3 weeks roadtrip along the cape. He frequently approached us via what’s app for tipps, load shedding schedules etc. So was the excellent support by the two angles Faith and Melody, who supported us with our laundry. The appartment was awesome and fully equipped. A strong recommend!!!

Had a lovely stay with my parents. Accommodation was clean, fresh & amazing views. Ivan, the host, is amazing and always available for requests, suggestions and the two ladies who service the apartments are friendly and eager to help. Was a very nice stay and will definitely be back. Only drawback is the parking - it is quite limited and if you have a big car it's a bit of a squeeze. But this was the only challenge and was manageable. The host, location and views more than made up for it!
