If you've planned A BUSY WEEK-END exploring the South Peninsula, Sabine's house is what you need ! Perfect to relax in the garden after a long day, cook a nice meal and sleep in a comfortable bed.
Cape point, Chapman's peak, Simon's town, Boulder's beach, Muizenberg, Kalk bay, surf spots, shark diving, beaches, lovely hikes... If you've rented a car, just go for it !
When the day is over, you can get everything you need at the big shopping mall 5 minutes away. From all kind of groceries, to post office, ATM, pharmacy, cell phone providers and fast foods.
If you're planning to STAY 3 DAYS OR MORE, if sharing with your host is a core to your trip, if you're looking for quietness, depend on internet connection or public transportation, here are the practical things to know before making your decision :
- For 3 days and more, you'll be weekly charged 18 euros extra. If your budget is tight, don't forget to take it in consideration to compare airbnb's offers.
- Sabine will definitely answer all your practical questions ! But if you like to share life experiences, culture and history, it might have to come from you.
- There are often two boys at home, and it usually goes quiet around 10pm. However, voices from downstairs, heavy steps in the corridor, and light from two little indoor windows in the bedroom can get disturbing if you're sensitive.
- If you need an internet connection to book activities, be aware that you might struggle with the wifi. If you have an online job, ask Sabine if she has changed internet provider, or look for a more suitable place to stay.
- Public transportation isn't really an option to visit the South Peninsula. You can walk to the shopping mall, but if you don't have a car, check uber rates for your touristic activities. You can always try to take the train during your stay if you feel like it !
Thank you Sabine for having shown me some of the nicest places in the South Peninsula, and for all the nice moments we shared ! Wish you the best.
