Tim’s place is amazing! We stayed here for the whole month of July & when we left we felt so sad to go, it really felt like home.
The apartment is exactly as the pictures show & the view is even better than you can imagine! It’s close to all amenities including the Bayview shopping Mall which has 2 pretty big supermarkets (also has a cinema which is great value) It’s close by to many restaurants & Cafe’s, all of which were great. A couple of favourites were Carlucci’s (the chicken bacon avo on pumpkin bread is to die for! Staff are also amazing) Primi Piatti (for the view with great food) Doodles (pizza & sunset views) & the Greek restaurant just around the corner.
The beach is the most amazing long beach ever, great for a morning jog or sunset stroll.
The apartment is about 20mins by car from the V&A, which whilst is a nice part of Cape Town, is much more commercialised, Bloubergstrand is a more local feeling part of Cape Town & you don’t get bothered at all by beachboys trying to sell you stuff as they think you’re a local!
We were advised not to walk around after dark but we did, using common sense of course & were perfectly fine. Uber is really cheap & easy though (everywhere has WiFi)
We had great communication from Tim & also Bianca, who manages the apartment; she checked in via WhatsApp every few days to check were were okay. There’s plenty of tips on all local restaurants & things to do.
As we were here in July, whilst daytime temperatures were good, it did get chilly at night but with the underfloor heating & the extra blankets that are provided, we had no issues of being cold.
I can’t honestly recommend this place enough, it was truely better than we expected & I will definitely be back. Thank you so much Tim & Bianca :)
