This was our first time in South Africa, and we could not have asked for a more perfect place for our needs.
Hesties place is in a lovely area outside of Cape Town. It is a nice place to walk around and lots of coffee shops and little eateries around. I came across lots of independent galleries and craft shops. The main mall is not far, and there is a supermarket walking distance also. It was a great base from which to have day trips and explore.
Hestie was very accommodating, allowing us to check in a few days earlier than we expected and arranging for garage parking for our motorbike. She is super responsive and friendly and made us feel so welcome. We ended up staying for 4 weeks. We loved it so much.
The place is secure, safe, has on-site parking, and the neighbours are lovely. The place is exactly like the pictures (if not better), and Hestie has thought of everything one could need. It is spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, and quiet.
I will stay again in a heartbeat.
