 Plotsklaps is the perfect place for an extended stay. My husband and I and two children, age 11 and 13, travelled from New Zealand and stayed with Rachael and David... read more for a three week period over Christmas and the New Year while visiting family. The location is perfect whether heading into Cape Town or south towards some fabulous beaches and Cape Point.
The Annexe is clean and comfortable and is fully equipped beyond expectation. We found everything we need whether heading out for a picnic at the beach -  beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler boxes - or whipping up a pavlova in the well-appointed kitchen. The famous South African loading shedding was hardly noticeable with a generator on site.
We made use of the Lapa on a number of occasions for BBQs/braais to host family, and managed to fit 18 of us quite comfortably around the dining table. This was such an added bonus. The Lapa is well equipped with everything you need (including glasses, plates, cutlery etc.) and has a large amount of bench space for preparation. The extensive grounds, pool table and swimming pool were fantastic to keep both older and younger children busy while the adults relaxed in the comfortable seating area.
David and Rachael are attentive hosts who like to ensure their guests have everything they need. My husband and son had an enjoyable day out fishing with David, with my son catching a large yellowtail, much to his delight, which was enjoyed by all that evening. We were also provided with a voucher for the Folk Cafe in St James, which is part owned by David and Rachael, and had an excellent lunch there (I highly recommend the woodfired flatbreads).
We will definitely be staying again and can highly recommend.
