An oasis of green and calm to retreat to after the hum and buzz of the city. We stayed in a few lovely places in and around Cape Town during our trip but Chris's place was a real gem - we will stay ONLY here if we return to the city in future, and if there's availability of course! Beautifully appointed with the most amazing garden, a real sanctuary of green and quiet. There are so many amazing things I can't pick one favourite: the fab coffee station, the beautiful bathroom, the comfy bed and pillows, the welcoming and friendly hosts, the secluded garden with sounds of birds... An absolute gem with delightful touches. And such a great location: train station 10 min walk away to head down to the beaches or into the heart of the city, a few minutes walk to cafes, restaurants, tap houses and stores in the great little community of Observatory. The community too is delightful and a great place to feel 'real' Cape Town - safe enough to walk around and welcoming enough to make you want to explore on foot and meet locals. Thank you, Chris, for sharing your little piece of heaven :)
