Breathtaking ocean views.

Staying at Scarborough Hilltop House was a real treat. The views of the ocean from the hilltop were stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset. The house itself was cosy and well-decorated, making it a comfortable place to relax. It was a perfect spot to enjoy the beauty of the sea and unwind.

Wonderful views, beautiful home, and comfy beds!

We had a fantastic stay. The views from the patios are incredible. The house itself is beautiful and nicely laid out. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well-appointed. It was so nice to be able to braai and watch the sunset, and the large dining table was perfect.

Scarborough Hilltop House was everything that we expected. Lovely deck, open plan family area. Facilities and amenities met all of our needs.

The fact that the accommodation felt like a family home suited us. Puzzles, TV, books etc. were open to be accessed, which made us feel at home. We used the wood braai most evenings - lovely. We tried the gas braai one night, and the gas was too low to complete the cooking - no big deal and it did not take away from the accommodation. The entrance to the driveway was tricky to negotiate - we had a high clearance vehicle. Not sure how a sedan would have coped. We do understand that heavy rains had occurred - and this is not a complaint, as it was not a big issue, just fyi for future guests.

Scarborough Hilltop House 's response

Thanks Gary
Glad you enjoyed your stay
Sorry about the gas - there is a spare on the heater and under the house.
The parking is normally in the driveway - yes a little tricky and steep but also in the street - this has possibly looked as no go due to recent flooding - all sorted now
Please come back

Very lovely and a comfortable stay.

Very beautiful home on top of a hill. Very clean and well-equipped with everything you will need. Only problem for us was the parking space as we did not have a 4x4 vehicle and it is very steep, especially when it is wet or raining. Overall an excellent place for a nice, quiet, relaxing holiday.

Scarborough Hilltop House 's response

Thanks Euan
Glad you enjoyed the beauties of Scarbs - just a note that the parking outside the house in the road does not require special vehicles....yes the drive into the back garden is steep - but it is a short walk if parked in road - some 75 metres
Please come again

We had a lovely stay here despite the weather.

This house has all the comforts of home and we could all relax there. The host communicated very well and was extremely accommodating. We were a multi-generational family. I would mention that both the stairs up to the house and the drive at the back were rather steep, so I think that should be mentioned. It didn't bother us, but perhaps elderly people would battle?

Rustige stil kusdorpie naby aan al die Kaapstad-besienswaardigehede.

Ons het ons verblyf by Scarborough verskriklik baie geniet. Die huisie is pragtig ingerig en met persoonlike items soos legkaarte, CD's en DVD's, wat die plekkie soos 'n eie huis laat voel het. Die eienaars het verskillende lampies en kerse wat loadshedding draagbaar gemaak het. Die huis het 'n pragtige uitsig en selfs 'n agterpaadjie waarmee 'n mens op die koppie kan gaan stap. Hierdie huis is nie vir ouer mense nie - daar is heelwat trappe om bagasie teen uit te dra. Scarborough se paadjies laat my dink aan Engeland se nou paadjies. Kan nie help om die wonder hoe kry die ouens wat nuut boumateriale daar in nie. Ons het hierdie as basis gebruik om Kaappunt en Tafelberg te besoek. Simonstad met sy besienswaardighede is ook om die draai. Dankie Peter dat ons julle huisie kon geniet!

Peaceful quiet seaside town close to all the Cape Town attractions.

We really enjoyed our stay at Scarborough. The cottage is beautifully furnished and with personal items such as puzzles, CDs and DVDs, which made the place feel like a home of its own. The owners have different lamps and candles that made loadshedding portable. The house has a beautiful view and even a back path with which one can go for a walk on the hill. This house is not for the elderly - there are quite a few stairs to carry luggage up. Scarborough's paths remind me of England's narrow paths. Can't help but wonder how the guys who build new get materials in there. We used this as a base to visit Cape Point and Table Mountain. Simonstad with its attractions is also around the corner. Thank you Peter for allowing us to enjoy your cottage!

The house is bigger than what I saw in the pictures. We felt at home away from home. Though the weekend was cold a gas heater was available, so we were sorted. The house is secured and the area is quiet.

Ongelooflike uitsig en 'n bitter lekker kuierhuis.

'n Baie lekker wegbreek saam met familie - die 6 van ons het heerlik gekuier. Die huis se ligging en uitsig is ongelooflik en die buurt is stil en privaat. Die huis leef en kuier baie lekker en alles is daar, was nie nodig om enige iets behalwe klere in te pak nie. Ons het koue weer gehad, so die gasverwarmer was 'n bonus. Was regtig 'n groot bederf.

Pragtige uitsig, goed toegerus.

Dit was duidelik dat die eienaars vergeet het dat ons kom, maar daar is verskoning gemaak daarvoor. Persone wat sukkel met trappe klim moet liefs iewers anders soek. Die oprit na die agterste parkering area is baie styl en ek glo nie geskik vir normale sedans nie. Daar is wel parkeerplek voor, maar dan beteken dit redelik baie klim om bagasie in huis te kry.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Beautiful view, well equipped.

It was clear that the owners had forgotten that we were coming, but an apology was made for that. Persons who struggle with climbing stairs should probably look elsewhere. The ramp to the rear parking area is very stylish and I believe not suitable for normal sedans. There is parking in front, but then it means quite a lot of climbing to get luggage into the house.

Lekke kuier.

Scarborough Hilltop House is 'n gerieflike vakansie-akkommodasie. Alles wat benodig kan word is daar, puik bedlinne en goeie kwaliteit handdoeke. Alhoewel die weer nie gunstig was (dit reën immers in die winter in die Kaap), het ons heerlike strand- en wandelpad uitstappies gehad. Binnenshuis was dit legkaarte, speletjies en Netflix. Simonstad en die pikkewyne is ook nie te ver om te ry. Ons het baie lekker gekuier vir 4 dae en sal beslis weer terugkeer. Dié keer in die somer, son en strand.

Nice visit.

Scarborough Hilltop House is comfortable holiday accommodation. Everything you could need is there, great bed linen and good quality towels. Although the weather was not favorable (after all, it rains in winter in the Cape), we had lovely beach and walking path trips. Indoors it was puzzles, games and Netflix. Simonstad and the penguins are also not too far to drive. We had a great time for 4 days and will definitely return. This time in summer, sun and beach.

Amazing views. Lovely facilities.

The pictures don't really do this place justice, it is really magnificent and well equipped. The views from the front and rear are spectacular and the owners have really kitted the place out with much to keep you occupied should the weather not play along. We had 1 or 2 minor niggles but owner Peter went out of his way to sort it out super quickly. Our family loves Scarborough so I can see us booking this place again.

Ongelooflike kuierhuis.

Ek het besluit om my verjaardag met my vrou en kinders by hierdie wonderlike plek te vier. Ons het 'n heerlike wegbreeklangnaweek daarvan gemaak. Die uitsig is ongelooflik, die huis is puik ingerig en dit is die ideale plek om te ontspan en net die natuurskoon te geniet. Die stilte en rustigheid is ongekend vir ons as stadsmense en ons kon snags slaap met die geruis van die see in die agtergrond. Die nagte is pikdonker aangesien daar nie straatligte is nie. Al wat jy hoef saam te neem is jou klere. Die res is alles daar. Ek kan die huis met die grootste vrymoedigheid aanbeveel!

Incredible holiday home.

I decided to celebrate my birthday with my wife and children at this wonderful place. We made a lovely getaway long weekend out of it. The view is incredible, the house is superbly furnished and it is the ideal place to relax and just enjoy the scenery. The silence and tranquility is unprecedented for us as city dwellers and we could sleep at night with the sound of the sea in the background. The nights are pitch black as there are no street lights. All you need to take with you is your clothes. The rest is all there. I can recommend the house with the greatest boldness!
