“We had an amazing time at Welmoet & Melcom’s place! The home was absolutely beautiful - clean, stylish, and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. My girlfriend and I felt right at home from the moment we arrived.
What really made it special though were Welmoet and Melcom. They’re incredible hosts - so welcoming, thoughtful, and quick to help with anything. You can tell they really care about their guests having a great experience.
If you’re looking for a place with amazing vibes and hosts who go above and beyond, book this one. We’ll definitely be back!”

“One of the best places I’ve been at. Welmoet is mindful host who thinks of hosts needs. Without asking she organised a travel cot with blankets and a high chair for our little ones which made everything.”

“BLISSFUL!
I cannot thank Welmoet and Malcom enough for allowing me to stay in Eyrie.
The location, view, atmosphere and surroundings are PERFECT!
Beyond that, the space that Malcom and Welmoet have created is absolutely stunning!
Every detail is perfect from a very comfortable bed and furniture, open floor plan with air circulation and also privacy!
I felt the stress melt away and look forward to my return 😊”

“We had the best home away from home in Glencairne. Malcolm and Welmoet were awesome hosts and took good care of us. The home was beautifully appointed and had everything you could need even down to Woolies rusks for morning coffee. the views are spectacular and rhe morning sunrise cannot be beat. We cant wait to go back!!”

“This was one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at. The views of the ocean and the bay are absolutely stunning, and the sunrises are incredible. The panorama is just amazing, and it’s only a one-minute walk to the ocean and a natural ocean pool. Huge thanks for hosting us.”

“Welmoet und Malcolm waren wundervolle Gastgeber. Die Wohnung ist traumhaft und zusätzlich die tolle Aussicht. Die Ausstattung exzellent, hochwertige Bettwäsche und Handtücher. Leider war mein Aufenthalt durch die politische Weltlage geprägt, so dass ich aufgrund von Flugverschiebungen Hals über Kopf aufbrechen musste. Ich konnte mich garnicht richtig verabschieden, was mir so leid tut. Liebe Welmoet, lieber Malcolm, das können wir hoffentlich beim nächsten Mal nachholen.”

“We had a wonderful stay on the western cape for 17 nights in this beautiful Eyrie. An amazing haven for 2, spotlessly clean. The cherry on the cake was the fabulous outside terrace with amazing sea views of false bay. Each morning we awoke to the most amazing orange sunrise shining through the bifolds. The area is fabulous with Dixie’s restaurant a few steps away and the amazing Summer House terrace a 5 min walk, with fabulous cocktails and ambience. Kalk Bay is a 10 min drive with many bohemian shops, galleries, crafts and eateries. We loved the safe swimming at Fish hoeck beach. A visit to Cape point is a must too!
The hosts were very helpful throughout and we loved the 2 friendly shepherd dogs. Highly recommend this Airbnb and we hope to return!”

Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt, dazu alles sauber und gepflegt! Die Aussicht von der Terrasse ist wirklich ein Traum und ein toller Startpunkt für die verschiedensten Trips - wer sich hier nach Natur und Ruhe sehnt, wird fündig.

“Was wir sagen können, ist einfach nur WOW💖. Wunderbarer Ort für einen erholsamen Urlaub. Möbel und Dekoration bieten eine sehr harmonischen Ambiete, was perfekt macht. Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön eingerichtet. Es ist viel schöner und besser als auf die Bilder. Schöne Aussicht, sehr friedlich und ruhig. Jeden Morgen direkt am Meer aufzuwachen, war wie ein Traum und ist unbezahlbar! Die Besitzer, Malcolm und Welmoet waren wunderbar warm von Herzen und sehr freundlich. Sie waren sehr pro-aktiv und haben sofort auf Nachrichten reagiert, und haben uns mit Ratschläge und Information weitergeholfen. Das gab uns das Gefühl, zu Hause zu sein. Wir haben es geliebt an dieser magischen Ort und haben es sehr genossen. Die Lage und Unterkunft übertraf unsere Erwartungen. Wir können es nur jedem diese Unterkunft (wie eine Pracht Juwel) empfehlen und planen schon demnächst wieder zurück zu kommen. Vielen Dank Welmoet und Malcolm, wir sind rundum zufrieden dass wir bei euch bleiben duften.🙏”

“Wow. Just wow.
Welmoet and Malcolm were beyond incredible, and their place has officially become my favourite stay yet. It’s as close to perfect as an Airbnb can get. Every single detail has been thought through. The view, the design, the layout, the appliances, the bed (honestly, the best one ever), everything is spot on.
I’m not the easiest guest, but they went out of their way to make my stay comfortable and memorable. You can feel the care and thought that went into creating this space. I couldn’t have asked for better hosts and can’t wait to come back.”

One is truly able to relax and soak in the fresh sea air as well as the beautiful view from sunrise to sunset.
We came is winter and it was so beautifully cozy, can't even imagine how great it is to stay in summer.

“Great spot with a beautiful view overlooking False Bay/Glencairn beach. Spacious, comfortable, clean and well-equipped with a large balcony, fireplace and two toilets. Good for both a weekend break or longer stay. Tidal pool, beach, hikes, supermarkets/shopping mall all within walking distance, and Simons Town just a short drive away. Had a nice chat with the owner too. Highly recommended.”

“We had an absolutely wonderful stay!! The unit was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
The location was perfect, with Dixies literally a few steps away, a calm sea to swim in with lovely water just a short walk away and magnificent views to enjoy from the balcony.
What really made our stay stand out, however, was the exceptional service from Welmoet and Malcolm along with absolute privacy. They were friendly and welcoming and everything was just easy and fabulous and once we were in we had peace and quiet.
We would highly recommend staying here to anyone looking for a fantastic place to stay. We can't wait to come back!"”
