Duiker Cottage really is a special place. With uninterrupted sea views and a beautiful garden full of birds, it's pleasant even if you don't want to venture out. But if you do it's close to the lovely Boulders beach and penguin walk, which are world renowned among nature lovers. It's also on the way to Cape Point, one of the must-see sights of the Cape. We did not have a car, but managed by walking and/or using the well developed Uber system. Simons Town, a short drive away, is interesting and quirky, with many interesting shops and a laid-back feel with its pretty and historical buildings. While we were at the cottage there was a fierce Cape storm, but we were very comfy and content to watch the dramatic weather through the picture windows. The cottage has been very tastefully decorated with lovely ceramics and eyecatching local fabrics. It is spotlessly clean and the kitchen is extremely well appointed.
