Like a mini five-star hotel I felt like a celebrity checking in. I was greeted with welcome drinks which were much needed after a long flight, and followed by a catch-up with ‘the locals’ on what to do or where to go…the perfect reintroduction to Cape Town.
Often than not ‘home-away-from-home’ gets used frivolously which is not the case with Colleen’s accommodation offering. I spent a week there and it personally comes highly recommended. If you are looking for something close to town or central in Sea Point and Cape Town’s beaches, this option is the most ideal. Not only is it a great, quiet location off the main road and very affordable, the room on the second floor (with its own equally spacious ensuite bathroom) is neatly kept and tastefully decorated. I had to get some end-of-year work done and the private balcony overlooking Sea Point was the perfect ad hoc office fit. Room amenities and towels were replaced almost daily. Thandi helped out a few times during the week and did the cleaning, laundry, and ironing – something I needed more than comfortable bed to sleep in (which it was, by the way). Colleen and her husband were by far the most hospitable, friendly, genuine hosts who didn’t mind a stranger coming in and out of their home. Thank you for an amazing stay!!
