So there we go ---I booked a trip with 5 of my friends to explore this amazing country! Luckily our first choice did not confirmed the booking -so we tried Michels place. What a catch! A beautiful house located in Scarborough on a little hill, directly on the coast, about 10-15 min walk to the beach. As a photographer I´m aware of what i see on photos in the description but here- I promise it looked the same. The interior is comfortable and timeless- lots of space to find a spot to relax. Big kitchen and a huge living room for dinners and games at night. The view at daytimes or for the sunset is amazing.
The House is clean - with lots of space and cupboards- everything is here what you need. No matter if you travel with a group of friends or with kids as a family- i can highly recommend this house.
It depends what you would like to explore - if you want to go back everyday in the city there is quite some traffic and it takes an hour in the rush hour ... but if you drive the other direction *cape of good hope* is pretty near and also the little coast-cities St. James or Boulders Beach if you want to see penguins like us :)
Michel was an awesome host- extremely helpful when I had questions - she checked on us in between and offered new towels etc. This house you will rent, has 2 floors in the basement is a permanent tenant but very quite and very friendly . We felt pretty safe the entire time and had no problems at all. We went out for dinner one night in the Hub which Michel recommended us and the food and the location was great.
So over all- if there is one thing I might regret, then just the fact that you need a car to get places. Scarborough is about 45min-1 hour away from the city and the airport- for someone who travels here for the first time its good to know. But getting out of the city and living here is pure vacation.
Michel thanks so much for your hospitality!
