This place is AMAZING! Not sure 500 words will be enough to describe it.

The view is stunning, we saw dolphins daily and even a whale. It's 20 mins walk from the waterfront with some good restaurants within 2 mins (Pepeneros!). Not only can you see the sea from the table but table mountain sits in the kitchen window like a perfectly framed photo.

It's perfect for two people. Decent sized double bedroom with wardrobe and ensuite (shower is great). Kitchen with microwave, oven, washing up etc. Really well stocked with cutlery, cups, proper cafetiere, pans. More than we have at home!! Everything you need for the nights you don't fancy eating out and making up packed lunches. Living room area is massive, with a dining table, two sofas and a chair giving loads of space for chilling out in-between heading out to see the sights of Cape Town. There is a TV, but we didn't switch it on, why bother when the views are this good!? There is also a little washing area with iron, and drying facilities. Wifi connection was really good, my previous experience is Africa isn't great but this one worked well and was more than enough for us both to be using it.

Chantelle is an awesome host. She met us on the morning we arrived, despite us getting held up at the airport. Fresh flowers on the table, chocs on the pillow, fresh coffee bought for us. Who needs to pay for a luxury hotel!? She contacted us a couple of times while we stayed to make sure all was well. Was like having a friend in town, and I'm sure if we'd had any problems at all whilst we were in Cape Town she would have helped us out.

The area itself is great. Sea in front with promenade where you can walk in both directions. 20 mins to the V&A Waterfront in one direction and about 5km in the other. Felt perfectly safe, even at night with men patrolling on Segways. Behind is the beautiful Green Park created for the World Cup which is wonderful to have a stroll in.

It goes without saying we would stay here again in a heartbeat. We are not fans of hotels, too stuffy and not a place to relax. If you re like us and want a great place to stay when you are in Cape Town, then stop your search now because you've just found it!! Thank you Chantelle, please stay on AirBnB forever so we can come back :)
