We had an amazing experience that exceeded expectations on many levels.
Traveling to Cape Town for the first time with a family of four, a friend suggested we stay in Camps Bay for its beauty and safety. That turned out to be an outstanding recommendation. Camps Bay is a gorgeous area, and this property is nestled high on the hill with a spectacular view (a 10-15 minute walk to the beach). It is an easy Uber drive to anywhere in the city.
After arriving, Cathy quickly turned from stranger to host to friend. She went out of her way to make sure we had a great time, offering travel tips, inviting us to a get together with some friends, even offering a few food gifts. Though her upstairs residence and the AirBNB property are separate, we wound up spending time with her each day by choice.
The property itself was nicer than described on AirBNB. It has three rooms with comfortable queen beds, 4 bathrooms (yes FOUR!), a kitchen and a living room. In the backyard, our kids particularly loved jumping on the trampoline, swimming in the pool, and cuddling with her dogs in the grassy area. Sunset views were amazing, each night outdoing the last. We rented a car for part of the stay, which could be safely parked in the garage.
We can't recommend this property and Cathy more strongly. If returning to CT, we'd stay there again in a heart beat. Thanks Cathy!
