We really loved our stay with Lydia and the family. So glad we opted to stay here rather than in the city. Although it was about 20 minutes from downtown Cape Town, it was worth the drive to be able to stay with a family and experience life in SA. As far as the details most people might wonder about: the house was very clean, the bed super comfortable, the food was excellent and the company was great. I loved sitting out on the balcony watching life go by or listening to the sounds of the community.
