My wife and I had a great time in Cape Town seeing the sites from Linda’s place. We had a car and found that we could easily access the sights and venues from there. We typically took M62 to and from Linda’s place. Less than 20 minutes to underground parking at the V&A or a little over an hour to Stellenbosch area, Scarborough or Simon’s Town in the surrounding Southern areas. We did over 2500 kilometers while we were there and left no stone unturned!
Linda’s place is fantastically situated in Camps Bay with views back to Table Mountain or a peak at the ocean. In a 20 minute walk, you can be down to the restaurants on Victoria Road (the driving and crowds down there can be stressing at peak times). A couple of times on our longer forays, we’d stop at the ‘continental’ grocery store (just two blocks away down M62 on the hairpin turn) for a few dinner things when we didn’t feel like eating out again. The ATM there didn’t seem to charge a fee so that’s another plus.
The cottage is just like the pictures which is what sold me in the first place. The pool and hot tub were nice to relax in after a hard climb on Lion’s Head or other outings. The grounds are very nicely landscaped with some secluded eating areas that we enjoyed breakfast outdoors at. It’s very quiet and we only saw Linda and Roy a few times while we were there. The WiFi is fast and the TV had plenty of cable access to movies and news. Linda is very responsive to any questions or emails.
We had a great time in Cape Town and Linda took great care of us.
