We absolutely loved our stay at Mark and Raelyn's place!
They are lovely people, incredible hosts (we even enjoyed a dinner with them) and have really made great accommodation in their home for travellers.
Communication was excellent. We really felt like they wanted to take care of their guests. Raelyn had lots of good ideas for places to go. She even let us borrow their backpack for our walk up Table Mountain to save us from buying one.
The room was really nicely finished. It literally has everything you'll need for your stay - a very well-equipped kitchen. The bathroom is also lovely - a nice, big shower!
The view from the apartment was underestimated in the description of the room - we were very pleasantly surprised by how amazing it was! From sitting up in bed, you can see the sea and from sitting on the private balcony, you are so close that you can even see the sand on the beach. The house itself is probably about 4 roads back from the beach. You can hear the sea as you sit in the apartment - it is really lovely. Not to mention the amazing views of Table Mountain!
We also loved using the pool area - it was very peaceful. We were allowed to use BBQ, which was great. Basically, you can use the place as your own, including communal areas as long as you leave it ready for others and tidy.
We were pleased to see that the apartment had a private drive - we weren't expecting that so it was a good bonus.
It was really easy to drive around in Camps Bay/Cape Town. A nice short walk from the apartment to the beach and shops/restaurants. The walk back is quite uphill but it was fine for us.
If we ever find ourselves back in Cape Town (and we hope we do), we would definitely stay with Mark and Raelyn again and would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.
Thank you so much for making our holiday great Mark and Raelyn!
