The brook house is a great and silent and safe location. It was well equipped and the rooms are exactly as described.
On the same property are living as well some locals which made us feeling very safe with our young daughter.
All shops are around you but you definitely need a rental car in order to be independent.
Penny was reachable by mobile and all other messenger options all the time. She gave us many lovely hints to explore Cape Town or some more close spots.
Be 100% sure, your stay with the brook house will be perfect!
