I have stayed in numerous hotels, guesthouses and Airbnbs in Cape Town and other places and countries around the world but nowhere have a felt more welcomed and comfortable than here. Kobie is a wonderful host! She is always available for help or support but respects your privacy at all times.
The studio is situated in the back of their beautiful garden, surrounded by a multitude of fruit trees and flowering bushes. In the mornings you hear the birds chirping in the surrounding trees - the perfect retreat to relax and unwind.
The studio is equipped exactly as described but the description doesn't do the studio justice. The atmosphere is so welcoming and it feels a lot more spacious than the beautiful images suggest. The TV displayed in the picture has now been replaced by a modern flat screen TV mounted on the wall.
The bed is extremely comfortable and we each had a selection of three pillows with different firmness to choose from which ensured a restful, comfortable rest.
The bathroom is spacious, well-equipped and very clean. You can have a refreshing shower or relax in a hot bath. The thick, lush towels provided are 5-star hotel standard.
The little terrace is beautiful and secluded - the perfect place to have a braai and a glass of wine in the evening to relax after a day exploring Cape Town or the surrounding area.
But even before arriving we were updated by Kobie with the weather forecast and after landing we already had a message waiting for us, welcoming us to Cape Town.
This leads me to the "extras" - all these beautiful little treats that surprised and overwhelmed us staying with Kobie and her wonderful family. I won't spoil the surprise by giving too much away - especially as all these little gestures are more than any Airbnb host would be expected to do and definitely not necessary to make this place a true gem. But arriving and finding the fridge already equipped with milk, cheese, yoghurt and more, fresh bread in the breadbin and even a new toothbrush in the bathroom just in case you have forgotten yours just shows you are being greeted by a wonderful host. An ice-cold, beautifully presented fruit juice to greet us after putting our bags down, which we sipped on 'our' little terrace, made us instantly relax!
You do need a car to get around when staying in Durbanville but the area is very safe and beautiful for walks. A multitude of malls and good restaurants are only a short drive away.
Thank you for everything and we really can't wait to be back.
