Janine's place is even better than the pictures! It's a beautiful, calm and sparklingly clean home with all the creature comforts you need for a great stay. The house is spacious and cosy and clearly Janine and family have gone to great lengths to make sure it has everything a family would need - the kitchen is really well stocked with all the utensils imaginable, there are plenty of towels and blankets, there are lovely spaces to eat and relax both inside and out. We were there during spring so it was a bit chilly, so were really happy to find a couple of electric heaters which warmed the bedrooms perfectly and the log fire makes for a cosy night in. What made this really ideal for us is the house's location which is just perfect, particularly for families with kids. It's a very short walk to 3 different parks, all awesome in their different ways. Pick n Pay and Woolies are also a walkable distance so shopping is a breeze. It's also really ideally located for trips out of town and the beaches to the west of the city - camps bay is a 5 minute drive and other absolutely stunning beaches are within 20 minutes of the house. Downtown is a 15 minute drive away so it's really convenient for the day and nightlife of the city as well, tho there are fantastic restaurants within minutes of the house so you have local options too. Finally and most importantly, Janine and her Mum did everything they could to make our stay as comfortable and easy as possible. We had a baby and toddler in tow and Janine very kindly lent us cots, cribs, baby change mats and other kiddie kit that made it much easier for us visiting from overseas. Janine's personalized note telling us about good things to do in the area was super helpful and any question we had was really quickly answered. All in all, this really was a home from home (we were there for a whole month so really put this to the test) and we really hope to come again! Thank you Janine and Lavona!
