It has been my 4th time in Cape Town and my 3rd time staying with amazing Birgit and her family. It feels like coming home for me. The garden cottage is super cozy and has everything you need, so even the rainy Cape Town winter days are well spent with just staying in. Just relaxing and reading a good book is all you need or maybe walk around the corner and have great coffee at Salisbury's. Otherwise it's really close to the main road where you can catch a cheap taxi to town or Observatory. I also enjoy using their kitchen in the house for cooking :)
It might be important to mention that water crisis doesn't affect the stay here in any bad way (the only thing is that we have to save water which should be done anyways and everywhere in the world).
Even though it's winter I don't want to leave but this is definitely not the last time I'm staying here! hopefully see you soon! :)
