Ivan & Angie are perfect hosts. The accommodation is exactly as describe - so light and bright with fabulous views -,and the in-house servicing team are first rate. All fittings and fixtures of high quality and a deliriously comfortable bed, Beluga apartment has great access from the street with no stairs!! Hooray!!!! Private parking is a real bonus but when all units are fully occupied it might be a bit of a squeeze. That said, we thoroughly recommend this rental and cannot wait to return.

Lovely view over the bay. Super friendly and helpful staff. Apartment was well-equipped and comfortable and quite spacious. Parking limited but we found a space each time after advice from staff. Host very helpful in suggesting places and events to visit.

An absolutely lovely apartment just outside Fish Hoek. Extremely comfortable and cosy, with all the equipment needed for self catering. Super balcony, too - looking directly out to the bay. Delightful staff- maintaining the apartment. Perfect!

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..

Nice apartment in the neighborood of fishhoek, good location to visit Cape point. You can enjoy the balcony in front of the sea, the room is large, the bed confortable. You can have a very nice breakfast in Kalk bay, 5 km far. I recommend.

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.
