Our stay at Storyhouse

10.0

The location of Storyhouse was fantastic, a short walk away from a beautiful beach. It was also near my auntie who we were visiting. We enjoyed the outdoor space overlooking the pool.Antoinette and Charl were wonderful hosts. It felt like home away from home. Thank you.

We liked everything!

Kommetjie braai haven

9.0

Nice cottage overlooking the street. It was great to braai on the balcony. Loved our walks on the beach which was only 2 blocks away. Conveniently located so we could visit Robben Island and Hout Bay.

18 narrow stairs to climb up and down especially when carrying luggage...

A singular experience

8.0

The unit is an idiosyncratic space, comprised of a bedroom, bathroom and glass/timber conservatory/kitchen area. It feels very much "home made" by the hosts, who were most welcoming and kind. Our unit's balcony was a great space to relax, while we could have made more use of the garden and pool at street level.

Our loo cistern leaked for a day, but Charl soon fixed it. Similarly, a water cut and power outage were soon remedied.
