Ashleigh's place is in the perfect location for a relaxing stay in Cape Town. Swaanswijk feels safe and secure, and is ideal for exploring CT. It felt so nice to come back to the neighbourhood after having the busyness of the city for a day.
There are some local shops and restaurants a short drive away at Steenberg village, but the best thing was that we could take an Uber to the nearby wineries cheaply and easily - we definitely recommend Blockhouse Kitchen (Constantia Uitsig) for dinner, and the tasting room at Beau Constantia for some amazing views during the day.
The flat itself was comfortable and clean, but we still often felt cold with the heater on (August/September time). We often got woken up owing to dogs next door and the fact the flatlet is attached to the main house, so can hear the coming/going of the family.
Ashleigh was a relaxed and flexible host, and it was great to be able to use the tennis court and a sunny morning! Would definitely recommend this place.
