Budget Getaways Review
Coming down for the '…….' (insert 'Argus', 'Cape Town Jazz Festival', 'Christmas hols' etc) and need both a convenient and comfortable stay in the Mother City?
Look no further. Gracing the lower slopes of Table Mountain, Bougainvilla Crest is a provincial-style pad set in a large indigenous garden in Hout Bay.
Although on the same property as the main house, we are assured by host Marc that you will have more than enough privacy.
Interrogating the pics, it's tastefully decorated in a mix of fine furnishing and light colour schemes. Timber decks and walkways, a thatch roof, and a sunroom with valley views imbue it with laid-back holiday vibe, but not at the expense of feel-good luxury.
Leading off a large open-plan living area are two double ensuite rooms that open onto the patio. The kitchen, with dining table, is fully equipped; a second dining room leads off this.
Offering a nice flow between between indoor and outdoor, you'll find yourself moving between the kitchen, the vine-covered patio, and the jacuzzi on the wooden deck.
And then there's the sun room - a thatch, stone and glass chill-out zone for kicking back on a comfy sofa and taking in the gorgeous views flowing down the valley towards the sea.
Down on street level you’ll find secure off-street parking for the wagon, as well as a garage if you really need it.
With ample luxury finishes, great views and oodles of comfort, Bougainvilla Crest makes a very useful base for a family of four, or two couples sharing. Try it and let us know.
"Had great time in Hout Bay and Cape Town."
