We stayed at Mettahouse for two weeks and absolutely loved it. My parents live in South Africa and we’ve been frequent visitors to Cape Town over the years, so it’s an area we know and love. Mettahouse was a fantastic base for this trip and somewhere we’ll definitely choose again on future visits. The house is spacious, comfortable and really well equipped for a longer stay. The TV and streaming options were great for quieter evenings, and I particularly loved having the treadmill although running on a treadmill with those views has rather ruined the view from mine at home! Richard was a fantastic host, friendly and helpful without ever being intrusive, and full of useful local knowledge and recommendations. He even put us in touch with a friend for motorbike hire, which turned into another great part of the trip. Mercy was wonderful too. She looked after the house beautifully throughout our stay and was always so friendly and lovely to have around. We did a huge amount during our two weeks, but Mettahouse was somewhere we genuinely enjoyed coming back to at the end of every day. Cape Town has always had a special place in my heart and I’m never quite ready to leave. We’ll definitely be back, and Mettahouse will be our first choice for future visits.

Beautifully situated house with spectacular views, equipped with everything you could possibly need. After long days of sightseeing, we really enjoyed relaxing in the sauna and hot tub in the evenings. The house is an ideal base for exploring the Cape Peninsula and the Winelands. Everything was spotless and made us feel completely at home. Richard is a very helpful and attentive host. Thank you once again for a wonderful stay!

Location was excellent, host friendly and communication excellent. The house was immaculate and full of character. Lots of space and well equipped. We enjoyed playing chess and poker with one of the best views. Kitchen and Braai were excellent. The wood burning stove was lovely to enjoy cozy evenings as we were there in May. Such character and interesting features. The beds were very comfortable. Good Kwik spar 2 mins drive and east access to cape town, cape point, table mountain, kirschtenbosch, stellenbosch, Haut Bay, Nooderhoek, Kalkbay and also the Atlantis dunes north of cape town for some very fun quad biking. Easy to drive on the M4, M3 and Nooderhork expressway.
