We’re a couple from London travelling in South Africa for a month with our two small children (2.5 years old and 6 months old).
We spent the last 4 nights of our trip at Shirley’s wonderful home in Camps Bay and have loved every minute. Shirley was responsive to our messages and bought us a welcome gift of a bottle of wine and some essentials for breakfast with the kids which was a lovely touch. Handy too since you can’t buy alcohol in the shops at Camps bay!
The house: Probably the most unique Airbnb out there, the decor is fantastic with so many individual and quirky touches. A very spacious house overall with a well equipped kitchen with all you need for cooking breakfast/lunch/dinner at home. It really is a home from home. All bedrooms were large with lovely soft linens on the beds. Fast WiFi and access to Netflix too which was good. Handy printed details of load shedding timings (power outages) and emergency lights in all rooms just in case.
The garden: The garden is beautifully kept so you do feel like you’re in your own little oasis with many pretty trees and plants. Outdoor seating lovely to enjoy an evening bbq/braai or glass of wine on. Lovely pool, perfect for cooling off in the hot weather.
For the kids: The house is very well equipped for family living with two travel cot available to lighten the load of things we needed to bring.
Safety: The house has a big wall and electric fence. There is also an alarm. We felt very secure at Shirley’s place.
Location: Based 2 mins walk from the beach front, you’re really in the perfect spot. A short 15 minute drive into Cape Town waterfront. The location and views were just spectacular, waking up with the view of lions head mountain was very special.
All in all we loved this Airbnb, book it now, you won’t regret it!!
