A MUST MUST MUST
Our stay in The Cottage was everything we had hoped for plus more. Amale went above and beyond for us, making her our favourite airbnb host so far. We arrived late at night after a full day of travel and she welcomed us with a warm Cottage and saved us some dinner which she did not have to do. The Cottage itself was warm, spacious, clean and smelt delicious! The fridge was stocked with milk, eggs, yoghurt, jams and there was also a bottle of wine, fresh fruit, bread and lots of tea and coffee. The kitchen was fully self contained which is great for longer stays or long travel trips because you can cook from home on lazy nights. The wifi worked perfectly. We didn't use the pool because we were too cold but it looked perfect for warmer summer days. We loved having our own entry and exit - we had our own car so would leave early for hikes and sunrises and could come and go as we pleased without worrying about disturbing anyone. The area itself was so beautiful! Amazing restaurants, beautiful quiet streets, a few minutes walk to the beach (make sure you go there for a sunrise AND a sunset).
Amale was warm, friendly, sweet and our only regret was not going upstairs and sharing some wine and cheese with her and her husband.
We fell in love with Cape Town (The Cottage a big factor in this) and will DEFINITELY be back. Will also be referring friends to come and stay here. If you're reading this as a prospective guest - look no further! Xxx
