We have just returned after spending 3 weeks at Bärbel’s property. We had an amazing stay, the property is a beautiful town house which stands above two other properties. The house is in a perfect location to visit Cape Town. There are a number of great restaurants which are close by and very accessible. We used Uber a lot and they had no problem finding us. There is Kwik Spa which is within walking distance and about 1km away is the Garden Shopping Centre with a number of supermarkets if you want to do a bigger grocery shop.
The house is spacious, elegantly furnished whilst being homely and comfortable. We were a family of 5 and we didn’t feel crowded at all. The balcony was a lovely outdoor space to sit and have breakfast or to relax on the super comfortable outdoor sofa. It was sometimes hard to sit outside in the evenings as this depended on the wind off Table Mountain, this is renown in this area and that’s one thing you can’t change about Cape Town is the wind.
Bärbel and her husband happened to be in Cape Town so it was fabulous to meet them. Communication before our trip was excellent and she really was a fantastic host. We plan to return to Cape Town and when we do, we would not hesitate to book Bärbel’s house again, I can’t recommend her enough.
