I spent 4 whole weeks at Tessa’s house and I had an unforgettable time. When I first arrived there, Tessa was the landlady and I was the paying guest, but by the time I left we were friends! The house is amazing, exactly how the pictures show, and it has all you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is fully equipped (it also has a dish-washer), wifi is very fast, and there is plenty of space to use if you need to work or just relax. The bedroom is cosy and comfortable, the en-suite bathroom has got a big walk-in shower and everything is well kept and clean. The front and rear gardens are like small havens where you can sit and relax enjoying the Cape Town’s sun or a drink. Tessa let me use the whole house at any time whenever I had to study or work, and she made me feel at home, making everything easy for me. She would keep quiet when I was busy and share laughs and talks and walks alongside the ocean whenever I had free time.
The cottage is in the heart of vibrant Sea Point and yet it is nested in a quiet cul-de-sac square, no noise at all from the busy streets nearby. It is only one block from beach road, which means that in 3 minutes walk you are by the ocean, with its lively promenade and stunning sunsets. The area itself is very safe and at walk distance there are plenty of restaurants, cafés and shops. I didn’t need to travel a lot, however in case of need mycity bus-stop is just a few minutes-walk from the house.
I had a great time ad Tessa’s, and would definitely come back again!
