Maxie and her family were welcoming, helpful, down-to-earth and just in general lovely hosts to us. The location was quiet and with a great view over the city – The description "hidden gem" fits really well!
From there we could easily reach all the areas of Cape Town we wanted to explore.
We could park our car inside the gate in front of the garage, but since the driveway was a bit steep we actually preferred to just park outside the gate on the side of the street, which was okay too. How to handle the alarm system was very straightforward, so we got the hang of it pretty soon.
To us it was inspiring that Maxie and her husband rebuilt their house themselves over the course of many years and made it the most beautiful place around. We would definitely like to come back!
