Diane and Peter were exceptional hosts, inviting us into their home for conversation and snacks during our first full day in Simonstown. Their superb apartment overlooking False Bay is like a home away from home with an incredible view of the bay from every window! The pictures are exactly how you will find it! The apartment was very clean and Diane even stocked the refrigerator with essentials at our request since our flight arrived late at night and then took us shopping for a few more items we needed during our first day in town since we didn't have a car or driver that day. Diane also offered to let us use their laundry washing machine, which we did not find necessary, but the offer was very kind if we had stayed longer. The apartment does have a drying rack for hand laundry and the breezes off the bay will dry your things quickly. At our request, Diane also arranged for a driver to meet us at the airport and bring us to the apartment. This turned out to be a wonderful situation with a local tour guide who offered to take us on a private tour all over Cape Town and surrounding area during the days were were there for a reasonable price. The guide Diane arranged was knowledgeable, accommodating, and very helpful. He made sure he stayed apprised of local traffic conditions to avoid congestion to make the most of our time in Cape Town. As a local, he had a lot of wonderful insight into many things in Cape Town that were added local color and personal history. In comparing notes from others who had visited Cape Town, we saw more things that the tour buses in a short amount of time. Diane and Peter are delightful, knowledgeable people and we would love to return to their stunning sea view apartment as soon as possible! Situated close to Simonstown and Boulder Beach, you can see wild penguins on the beach -- a totally fantastic experience one could repeat daily. The beach is a safe swimming area for families and children. Diane and Peter also have a pool and garden to enjoy. And they have a trampoline and toys for little ones. If our itinerary would have allowed we wished we could have stayed longer! Will be recommending this place and host to all my friends and family! Although we didn't see it, Diane and Peter have another small apartment on site so that a family could take both apartments if more space was needed. Thank you Diane and Peter for a wonderful holiday at your place! We feel like we have new friends in South Africa! Best wishes to you!
