Very enjoyable stay with Birgit and her family in Woodstock - they really make you feel part of the family and I have learned a lot about South Africa. The house has incredible views from the roof terrace and the garden is a little green oasis in the middle of the city. Apart from birds chirping and geese flying low, you can also hear the distant strains of the harbour and the occasionally the call to prayer at the local mosque. Overall it's a very laid back atmosphere and vibrant neighbourhood to explore. Very highly recommended!
