Cowes Cottage is in the heart of Fish Hoek, centrally located within easy walking distance to all amenities, shops and the beach. The cottage is well laid out and very comfortable, with a huge outside covered deck area. If you're looking for a peaceful and tranquil stay, no better place to escape to with absolute privacy.
