We could not have wished for a more perfect place to stay in Cape Town.
We wanted to be in Tamboerskloof and the position was ideal for us.
Set high up in this residential area, which we think is the nicest in the city bowl, we had easy access to the mountain for walks, it was wonderfully quiet, secure, safe parking, plus offered iconic views of Table Mountain from the sitting out area in the garden.
The B&B is part of a little community of lovely friendly people but still offered privacy and peace, and a real sense of being "home from home", which we love when we are travelling or on holiday.
The B&B has been tastefully set up, was very clean, had everything we needed including a very comfortable bed and crisp linen.
We enjoyed access to a natural garden full of olive trees with an impressive water harvesting system, veggie garden, indigenous plants and a clear wish to maintain a gentle and respectful footprint on the earth. which is very close to our hearts.
It is very close to the city centre and Kloof Street although it does not feel like it at all. One feels much closer to nature! It is also close to the beaches over Kloof Nek and there is the Blue Cafe just a short walk down the hill where we often went for coffees and meals. Blue Cafe is a charming street cafe with a little deli where you can pick up milk and bread amongst other things.
We felt warmly welcomed by Malie in person, but also with the gesture of fresh flowers and a bowl of delicious seasonal fruit.
We will without a doubt go back to Malie's place when we go back to Cape Town. We feel like we found a little gem hosted by a kindred spirit in Cape Town!
