Carmelita’s place is definitely a rare find and gem 💎 . Just a stones throw away from the picturesque Seaforth Beach and “secret” beach (which is best kept a secret 😉). There is a lovely little cafe just down the road for breakfasts and light meals and little icecream shop that serves from a little whole in the wall. You can walk to Boulders beach and the penguin viewing area within 10-15 mins via a boardwalk ( a lovely early evening stroll too ). If you lucky you might even spot the penguins closer to the apartment too. The apartment is a beautiful Art Deco apartment, with heigh ceilings, spacious rooms and a lovely little balcony with a sea and mountain views, where one can enjoy breakfast or watch the sunset from.
Carmelita and her co-host Colin have really thought of all the details and offer a range of amenities to cater to all travellers needs. We were even kindly offered the use of a baby bath and camping cot ( as we we were travelling with two little ones under two). We really enjoyed our little staycation and highly recommend it to travellers with their own car who might be looking stay away from the hustle and bustle ( and traffic ) of central Cape Town. It would be your perfect base 😉
