Karen's apartment is splendidly furnished and spacious.
The views are incredible
The building is very secure and we felt the neighbourhood was safe.
The beach tended to be quite windy and mostly used for water sports and walking.
Cape Town was 20 minutes away by car and parking was easy once you'd found your way around.
Doodles is a great pub and eating place just round the corner.
Otherwise a large number of restaurants and bars are clumped together just over a km away.
Homespun is terrific if slightly dearer than average. For uk people though it's still cheap.
All in all we have had a great time.
