Birgit, Tsamano and their family were ready, willing and able to help me in any way upon arrival. They really wanted me to enjoy Cape Town (and South Africa) and that I did is due in no small part to them. Anytime they were going anywhere by car they let me know and I often took them up on this because getting around Cape Town without a car can be a challenge. As for the garden room itself it was a wonderful sanctuary separate from the main house though the main house was also available to me. Everything I needed was there for me for my 10 day stay (kitchen, refrigerator, separate shower and toilet, wi-fi, etc) including good conversation and some food. Great place to stay and a great value.
