For very short notice, I was pleasantly surprised Julie could accommodate my brother, and me.
Julie's place has access to the forest which we thoroughly enjoyed many walks during our week stay.
Load shedding is a reality with which we are quite familiar. With all the table lights and side lamps we did not quite notice the downtime much. There's always hot water available for a shower.
The weather was great, and we managed to have a quick swim at Boulders beach. Towels, cooler bags and Tupperware were all readily available for use.
Overall a wonderful trip for us and we will definitely recommend Julie's place to anyone who wishes to have a peaceful stay and Newlands forest as their backyard when their visit Cape Town.
