We really enjoyed our stay at Jill's house. For our large family (10 adults and children) the multiple bedrooms, most with a full bathroom, worked perfectly. Each room had it's own personality and some privacy. There were also several separate common areas (LR, patio, and kitchen) that made it possible for work/play.
The location was ideal in that it was an easy trip downtown and V&A Waterfront, yet also a straight shot to get out of town to the airport, Stellenbosch, or to Boulder's Beach to see penguins, etc. The Newlands neighborhood has it's own charms too, and it was great to be able to just stroll out some afternoons and evenings for a nice meal or provisions. Views of Table Mountain were spectacular. We cannot imagine a better location.
While we did not take advantage of other amenities, being out and about most of the time, the enormous Claremont shopping mall, a swimming-center, cricket-grounds, churches, and parks were all within walking distance. Kirstenbosch is nearby as well (6min drive), and we had a wonderful afternoon there.
All in all the place was comfy and really made our trip easy and memorable. Jill was a wonderful host and great to work with."
