Welcome to this charming 2-bedroom home in the quaint coastal town of Fish Hoek, nestled within the breathtaking landscapes of Cape Town's Southern Peninsula. Discover a warm and inviting space that offers the perfect blend of relaxation and comfort, catering to families and work-from-home guests alike. With its prime location and well-appointed spaces, this property promises an unforgettable stay that will leave you longing for your next visit.
FYI: the house is busy under-going a "redecorate" to become the Fish Hoek Funk House. We are adding a lot more colour. Unfortunately it does take time and there have been some weather delays but the house has all amenities and it still awesome to stay at especially with the fireplace in winter! 2nd room complete, lounge/kitchen awaiting art etc.
Step inside our open-plan lounge and dining area, where you'll be greeted by a fireplace that invites cozy evenings spent with loved ones. The fully equipped kitchen ensures that every meal becomes a delightful culinary experience, providing all the amenities you need to feel at home. Enjoy shared moments over dinner, or simply unwind in the sunroom area, creating cherished memories with your family and friends.
Outside, our property boasts a salt water splash pool and dining area, perfect for soaking up the sun, taking a refreshing dip, and lounging in the shade with a good book. The serene outdoor space offers an idyllic setting for both relaxation and productivity, making it an ideal choice for guests seeking a tranquil work-from-home environment.
Should you require a baby cot to be set up, please let us know in advance.
To curb the affects of loadshedding, the owner has installed a battery set up for lights and certain plug points. Nothing in the kitchen is on the battery set up but lights, the internet and certain plug points are. He has also installed gas heaters for the hot water. The shut off valve for this is located outside, under the kitchen window.
Experience the enchanting allure of Fish Hoek as you explore its beautiful beaches, vibrant local culture, and unforgettable scenery – all just a stone's throw away from your home away from home.

The Neighborhood:
Fish Hoek is a charming coastal town located on the Cape Peninsula in South Africa. Known for its picturesque beaches, scenic mountains, and tranquil atmosphere, Fish Hoek offers visitors a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway. The town is also home to a variety of local shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike.
Getting Around:
Although the house is central, we believe that it would be better to rent a car HOWEVER, Uber is available in the area. There are grocery delivery apps if you decide not to hire a car and rather use Uber. Uber just won't take you inside Cape Point etc but there are tours available for that. The house is also about a 10 min walk to the train station and the blue train is awesome, safe and clean. This train will take you all the way to the CBD for an extraordinarily low price of around R20 return per ticket.
Other Things to Note:
House rules:
- smoking only outdoors
- no parties / excess noise and shouting
- no pets
- lost keys = R500 replacement fee
