Mike and Caroline are SUPER HOSTS and truly living up to that standard. They have a great vision of where they want their AirBNB to go in the near future and living up to the philosophy of AirBNB which is to live in another person's house from all over the world and you feel like you are at home. We felt at home. Mike and Caroline are great communicators and from the initial connection, the payment, the details in the email and WhatsApp Messages. When we arrived, we were welcomed by Stephen, Mike and Caroline's son. On the way to the cottage, we were also welcomed by a beautiful garden that is well kept. Loved the roses, grass, small flowers and trees. Inside of the cottage, we were welcomed by a personal note on the table, that was set for the 2 of us. In the middle of the table, Mike gave us a Premium Red wine as a welcoming gift. When we went into the room, there was a chocolate for both of us on each pillow. Once Caroline was there as well as Mike after work, they greeted us inside of the cottage and showed us around in the house and also in the cupboards.
The cottage is situated 2 minutes drive away from huge malls, such as Kenilworth, Cavendish Mall and Access Park. The house is in Claremont that is in the southern suburbs. We felt like being at home away from home and paging through their Visitors book, we had the opportunity to share in such a wealth of visitors from Greece, Botswana, Canada, America, Namibia, Nigeria, to name only a few countries. When you book in at Mike and Caroline, you will get the following, to name only a few:
Clean bedding
White pillows
Extra blankets
A huge dressing table that also has family games on the inside such as Chess, Scrabble, etc.
Shower
Bath
Clean Towels
A fan in the room and lounge
The kitchen has everything you need for a short or long stay, which has the usual pots, pans, cutlery, glasses, wine glasses, whiskey glasses, etc., but also things you don't normally get at a AirBNB or B&B such as a fondue set.
A large couch, smaller couches, seating space for about 7 people.
You can use the clean pool that is directly next to the entrance.
Thank you Mike, Caroline and Stephen for a truly awesome time at your house. Whenever you are coming to Cape Town, make sure to book in with Mike and Caroline. You will NOT be disappointed.
