If one day anyone introduced 6 stars for location, the Gecko would get them! The house is beautifully simple and integrated in the landscape - it surrounded by the most beautiful nature - the mountains, the sea, the trees, the flowers and the birds. Yet, it is only a train journey away from Cape Town.
Martim made us feel very welcome from the very beginning, with great tips on places to visit and Denny, who used to own the house and lives next door, has been the most amazing neighbor.
As the house is half-way through the hillside, there are a few stairs to climb coming from the beach front, but it is well worth it.
The Gecko made us fall in love with Cape Town and we will most definitively be back to the Gecko sooner or later
