Was eine tolle Erfahrung in diesem Haus - mit wunderschönen Sonnenuntergängen und Rundum-Panoramablick von allen Zimmern (incl. WC 😉) und Ruhe.<br/>Platz gibt es genug - ca. 400 qm2 Wohnfläche. Keine AC - ist auf Grund der Bauweise des Hauses nicht nötig. <br/>Tolle Ausstattung wie beschrieben - das 3. Schlafzimmer (Loft) hat wenig Privatsphäre da offen u. kein eigenes Badezimmer. <br/>2/3 Liegen am Pool wären wünschenswert. <br/>Prima Kommunikation mit Firefly Villas, sehr gute Wegbeschreibung. Von der Hauptstraße sind es ca. 6 km über gute Geröllpiste (normaler PKW ist ausreichend). <br/>Nach Hermanus sind es 20-25 Minuten Fahrt. <br/>Zum "arbeiten" und Musik/Filme über TV streamen ist die Wifi Verbindung leider immer wieder instabil. Dieses war eine Traum Location . Ein wirkliches Traumanwesen in einer traumhaften Lage, weit weg vom Trubel des Altags. Wirklich der Himmel auf Erden. Unendlich schöne Aussicht. Weicheste Handtücher, extra Pooltücher... alles, was das Herz begehrte. Schönste Blumen zum Einzug, eine Flasche herrlichen Wein. Herzlichsten Dank, dass wir so etwas Schönes mieten durften.
