We had a fabulous time at Trish's apartment with amazing views over False Bay and the magnificent sound of the sea at all times.
Every morning we climbed down the stairs to the beautiful Dalebrook Tidal Pool (max. 5mins) followed by a tasty breakfast at one of the many lovely cafés in Kalk Bay - we absolutely loved the Ohana Beach café but also enjoyed Dalebrook and the Courtyard Café and CaféOlympia, but the latter was our favourite for dinner and we therefore did not go there for breakfast.
We explored the Cape Peninsula by car and everything was within easy reach - highlights were the Kirstenbosch Gardens, the Norval Foundation museum in Steenberg and walks along the Atlantic coast (Nordhoek, Scarborough) and on Muizenberg Beach - we also enjoyed fantastic jazz concerts and other daytime activities at "The Commons" which is located at Surfers Corner in Muizenberg - they also have delicious vegetarian snacks. We didn't do much hiking this time but the mountain trails on the peninsula are stunning (eg Silvermine) and visiting Cape Point and Table Mountain are of course also amazing - if you're up for an adventure, Skeleton Gorge is a more challenging climb to the top of Table Mountain and can be accessed from the Kirstenbosch Gardens side.
Rob and Trish were wonderful hosts and great communicators and an endless source of excellent tips and good advice - thank you for a great hoilday!!!
