A great place to stay for a number of reasons. Firstly, communication was excellent before and during the trip. We were made to feel very welcome on arrival and throughout our stay. Secondly, the house was just like in the photos, so no unwelcome surprises. It was clean, spacious and well equipped. There is a secure car parking space inside the grounds of the neighbouring house. And if you like sea views and bird life, you will be content. Finally, The Gecko is in a fantastic location for exploring St James and the surrounding areas. A very short walk takes you to the beach and the railway station, whilst a slightly longer one will get you to interesting shops, restaurants and Kalk Bay Harbour. Overall The Gecko is highly recommended.
