The experience of this magical bungalow actually starts when you turn off the main road, into the heart of Kommetjie, in the direction of the ocean - an immediate escape from the rush and race that lies beyond the mountain. Entering Slangkop Estate was simple, as was finding the bungalow. Walking into the sparkling, airy living space, we were greeted by warm, jazzy notes from the television and a box of delightful, vegan treats on the wooden kitchen island. The bedroom is light and whimsical, with beautiful macramé elements adding a definite bohemian flair to the muted, calming palette and luxurious, inviting bedding. Although the bungalow is equipped with all manner of technological entertainment, the veranda with its dangling granadilla vines and outdoor, sunken bathtub ensures not a single sunny moment is spent inside. Visiting the beach was marvellous - including the walk through the estate, where we were greeted regularly by friendly, free residents and children's laughter - the private beach access wonderfully convenient and safe. We never experienced anything but complete privacy and luxury during our stay, and we were especially impressed by the eco ethos that so clearly forms the foundation of this host's approach to life. We certainly hope to be back for another taste of magic one day!
