From the minute we arrived, this house felt like home - a far more luxurious home than our own mind you! Corne and her husband were fantastic hosts - it was our daughter's 21st birthday on the day we arrived, and she had booked a lovely restaurant for us in Kalk Bay, and traveled there to leave 21st balloons and decorate the table. This was SO appreciated, thank you!
The house is a few steps to the most amazing beach - too cold to swim in the sea, but fantastic to watch the sunset or sunrise - we did both. Take the chance to walk along the beach and up to the deli (about 25 mins) in the morning for bread and croissants and time it as the sun comes up over the mountains - fantastic.
Bear in mind that here you are a little further from Cape Town - about a 45 minute drive outside of rush hour - so plan accordingly, but we traveled to Camps Bay, Table Mountain, Hout Bay, Boulders Beach (for the penguins), and all points in between very easily.
We would recommend this house to anyone - and where else can your evenings include a game of snooker on a full size table!
Thanks Corne and Bill x
You will love this house.
We stayed here for two weeks with two families including 4 kids (3 to 5 yrs).
Walk to the wonderful beach: 3 minutes.
We loved to have a morning swim in the atlantic ocean at 7 pm, then come back and hop into the pool to end with a fresh breakfast.
Next bakery/bio-shop/superette/surf-shop/restaurant in Kommetjie: 3 min by car.
Snooker-table is great, terrace and balconies: chilly with awesome view to the bay, chapman's peak and table mountain.
The owners are cheerful people, provide with plenty of recommendations for your activities.
Save area, no inconveniences.
For a week we lived in a tastefully decorated and wide area vacation home. Rooms and facilities are in prime condition. The owners have been very active for our well-being.
From the house it is a two minutes walk to the ocean. The view and the wonderful waves make up for the water temperature of about 10°. Long walks on the beach are a delight.
Those looking for the tranquility of a small town half an hour's drive from the centre of Cape Town, are very well served. Attractions like Cape of Good Hope or Simonstown are within a 20 minutes drive.
My husband and I stayed at Greenways for a long weekend and have been recommending it to friends ever since. With magical views and the beach on the doorstep it was the perfect getaway. My husband had his fill of surfing and I was quite at home with a book by the pool in the sunshine. There are some hidden gems nearby by way of restaurants - Imhoff Farm is a must. The hosts, Corne and Bill, truly make the place feel like home away from home. There was a lovely basket of treats for us upon arrival and the place was spotless.
We are planning a trip later in the year with friends and can only say you're missing out if you haven't stayed here.
A group of us stayed at Greenways for the Cape Argus and it couldn't have been a more perfect location, ideal for all of the good climbs. Fabulous restaurants close by - Imhoff Farm is a must. The beach was a stones throw away for all of the water babies in the group. The accommodation was first class. The hosts, Billy and Corne, keep it spotless and we had a basket of goodies upon arrival.
Can't recommend it highly enough and we'll most definitely be back for next years Argus.
Our large family had a truly luxurious stay at this beach villa. The place was impeccably clean with great amenities and brilliant ocean views. We had many a relaxing lounge by the cosy poolside and the hosts, Corne and Bill, were everything and more of what we expected after our exchanges during reservation. A fantastic beachside family getaway location!
We lived in Germany for many years and move to Kommetjie so that we could live the dream life of long sunsets and beach activities. Please note, we have SOLAR power - this means you have light and WIFI during the South African power outages!!
The Beach House is spacious giving each person the opportunity to find a private sanctuary to rest and relax. The living area is an open plan design which allows for easy entertainment. Several decks and patios allow you to sunbathe and / or escape from the sun.
The Beach House is a 2 min stroll from the beach and when sea and sand becomes too much, you can have a relaxing drink in the shade of the covered patio or sunbathe on the raised sun deck.
