“This is a beautiful property right on the coast. It feels extremely relaxed and safe. The local town is a walk away, and the sea is absolutely fine to go into if you are a competent swimmer. I would love to go back!”

Susanne's reviews
As a host (5)“We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 night stay at Susanne's lovely home overlooking the sea. The views are completely spectacular and the house is very large and comfortable and has everything you could possibly want. Kalk Bay is literally a five minute walk away and is one of the loveliest spots on the Cape coast with lots of cafes, restaurants and interesting shops. We had a great night at the Kalk Bay theatre - really good fun. Communication with Susanne was great and we look forward to hosting Susanne when she visits our home in the UK this summer.”
“Staying at Susanne's beautiful house in St James, Western Cape was our best ever swapping experience. Her house enjoys the most phenomenal views north and south - breathtaking to wake and look at the window. The house is decorated in a sophisticated and most tasteful manner with lots of special places like sun beds in the rock garden just above the garden. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived and everything worked beautifully. If you are lucky enough to swap with Susanne you are in for a real treat. We loved. the local town which was a short walk and had nice evenings in SALT, Sirocco and watching the rugby in the Brass Bell. We did also swim in the tide pool a few minutes walk from her house which was a real experience! ”
“This house is absolutely stunning! It is even more beautiful in real life than the pictures show. You have ocean views from so many angles, it is the most beautiful setting I have ever stayed at. The house was very very clean, comfortable and so spacious, we were the 4 of us and we could live there easily, such a wonderful place. Everything is there, the kitchen is wonderful, well equipped, spacious, airy.. top notch! The garden is peaceful, the sea is so close you can almost touch it. Susanne was extremely helpful in guiding us towards South-Africa, around the neighbourhood and even when we had extra's to ask while there, she was very reachable and always quick to respond and happy to help. We would absolutely recommend going to this place, thank you so much for having us!! ”
“We had a fantastic time at Susanne's beautiful house. It was in a great spot (near to gorgeous beaches and easy to get into Cape Town) and you could see and hear the waves from the bedroom. Susanne was very easy to communicate with and was extremely helpful in terms of the keys and local information. ”

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
From Muizenberg to Fish Hoek and Simonstown - this is the best part of Capetowns beaches and coastal villages. Two tidal pools right in front of your doorstep for safe swimming, a coastal walk to Muizenberg beach and a short stroll to the viby harbour village of Kalk Bay with its many restaurants and vintage shops make this area unique and attractive. The wine estates of Constantia are just around the corner, an excursion to Cape Point National Park is easy and Capetowns city bowl and the famous Waterfront are a 30-40 minutes drive.
