Zelda and Buks are wonderful hosts and the Annex is a wonderful place to stay. They have put so much work into making it comfortable, super private, and relaxing. The garden is beautiful and protected from the wind. The whole front wall of the Annex can open up so that your place feels like part of the garden. I kept wishing for a rainy day so I'd have an excuse to not go anywhere all day so I could relax on the porch and watch the birds. As it was I saved a lot of money because it was more pleasant to sit there and have dinner or coffee than at any of the restaurants in town (and the restaurants are lovely). The kitchen has all you need to self-cater, Checkers grocery store is a 6 minute walk away, and there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The beach is a 4 minute trip on foot. You can put on your wetsuit and walk to the beach barefoot if you are planning to surf. Bottom line, if the Annex is available when you are wanting to be in Muizenberg, just book it.
