When I arrived at Katrine’s place at the end of October my first thought was: “That is the epitome of airbnb.” The room is beautiful, had a great atmosphere and all the ingredients that I love: A very comfortable bed with a duvet, several cushions and an extra blanket. A very good reading lamp, a writing table with a chair, an extra armchair and a spacious wardrobe. A high ceiling makes the room feel very spacious. The highlights of the room are the look into the garden and the artistic decorations including the flower arrangements.
I received a very warm welcome and felt immediately integrated into the family. Gaby’s meals and Andries brunch on Sunday were delicious. I can only agree to all the praise in the other reviews!
I came to Cape Town with the focus on visiting the Botanical Garden Kirstenbosch. Kirstenbosch extends into the Table Mountain and is for many the most beautiful park in the world. The Tea Room in Kirstenbosch is highly recommended. It serves not only great teas, coffees and cakes but also all kinds of other delicious foods. Kirstenbosch is not only a very beautiful place to be, it is also a very safe place to wander around on your own (an important “ingredient” in Cape Town…).
The family garden was my little Kirstenbosch. Gaby introduced me to the cape dwarf chameleons and discovered the nest of a pair of Cape Bulbuls shortly before I left. It was so amazing to see the parents feeding the three little chicks from close by.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
