The space
The top floor of the large house is called the "Annapurna Apartment". It's an unbelievably awesome and luxurious 300m2 + 100m2 space is all to yourself, made up of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, accommodating up to 6 people very comfortably. The rest of the property is communal use, which you'll share with a combination of long-term tenants and other Airbnb guests. However, don't fret, it's a very large property, there is ample space for everybody to enjoy their privacy and quiet time.
The name "Annapurna" is taken from a mountain peak in Nepal, as a testimony to the breath-taking, sweeping views of the Hout Bay valley below and the surrounding mountains. There are no words that can really convey how awesome the views are, and you will no doubt spend many hours just admiring them during your stay.
The apartment boasts down to earth features merged with luxurious highlights. The living area has solid wooden floors, contrasted with the bedrooms plush carpets. The living area has two crystal chandeliers, compared with the bedrooms dimmable downlighters. On warmer days, open up all the windows to let the view in, and enjoy the cool ocean breeze drifting over the mountaintop from Llandudno Beach a mere 800 meters away, as the eagle flies.
The main bedroom welcomes in the valley views, is quite spacious, has ample cupboard space with both a “his and hers” section, and has an ensuite bathroom. The bathroom boasts a large walk-in shower, a separate bath, and a beautiful mirror and marble basin vanity (and of course, the ever-necessary toilet).
The second bedroom enjoys afternoon sunshine, is medium-sized, has sizable cupboard space and a sliding door from the bedroom onto the outside wooden deck.
The third bedrooms also enjoys the late sun, is smaller than the other two, and therefore could be described as small, yet still manages to fit a king-size bed nonetheless, and also has sufficient cupboard space. A communal bathroom offers a shower, toilet and basin. There is a communal outside laundry area with washing machine and a covered washline.
Guest access
The garden, pool area and outside entertainment areas are for communal use by all staying on the property. However, the apartment itself and the spacious wooden deck off the living area of the apartment is for your use only.
We do have a booking schedule for the outside built-in-braai area and the two firepits, and you will need to book a spot, if it's available, to make sure there's no conflict with others staying on the property.
Outside table and chairs are positioned at key viewpoints through-out the property for guests to make use of whilst they enjoy the garden and pool area. There is enough space for everybody.
