Coming to SA for the past 20 years and with family for the last 5 years, I thought I had seen it all. The location Marina da Gama is amazing and Jenni's property is a jewel and the ideal spot for spending one's holidays close to (or on) the cape peninsula. I like in particular: (a) The location is great for families with kids, even for little ones, access to the marina is gated by a door.
(b) The Marina da Gama is ideal for exploring the cape peninsula, going into town or just exploring the beach and the little shops facing it. If you come during holiday season, there is not too much traffic outside peak hours, i.e., 60 Minutes to Cape point and approx. 35 Minutes to the Waterfront.
(c) The host provides canoes, paddles and live jackets. It is great to explore the marina via water, just while jogging or simply enjoying the view from the front terrace.
(d) The pool and trampoline are a great source of amusement for the little ones and last but not least,
(e) the local contact, Veronica, is extremely helpful, very responsive, i.e., very nice. It was a pleasure meeting her as well.
In summary, this has been the greatest family holiday ever and in large parts this is due to the house and the easy going owners. Thanks a lot for this wonderful time and for letting us into your house, I am looking forward to coming again and again and again....
