I spent a full two weeks at David and Margot's place during my two month South African getaway. I received incredible value for what I paid per night. The private flat is a bit rustic, but a wonderful living space. Muizenberg Beach is easily within walking distance to the house, and dog lovers will adore the resident animals.
What brought this stay above and beyond my expectations, however, was the willingness of David and Margot to show me around the cape and teach me its rich history. They were nice enough to show me Caulk Bay, downtown Cape Town, Elephants Eye and the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens! David took me on one of his famous theater tours, while their son Robin gave me my first ever surfing lesson. What a wonderful family. I hope to stay in touch and possibly even stay again if I ever end up back in Cape Town.
