Pros: Heidi's place is fantastic. It is secluded and quiet (what I like) but it is also a few blocks from the hustle and bustle of the town, the main road. It is a 10 minute walk (all down hill). The walk up is not as daunting as mentioned in previous reviews. I am nearing 60 with arthritis and the walk up, taken slowly is not bad at all. If you have groceries or packages an Uber ride is never more than 2 minutes away and always R20 (about 1.60 U.S.) You will never go hungry or want more variety because you can find just about any type of food or drink you want. There are two major grocery stores within two blocks of each other on the main road. The house is simply gorgeous and the view from the living room balcony affords you an expansive view of the ocean. It is amazing. What is even more amazing is that each guest room on the lower level has a view of the ocean and a balcony. Also on the lower level is a living area with a television and a kitchen area that is available for guests. Since it was winter I never used these areas because it was cold. However, my room was warm and comfy.
Cons: The neighbor's cat. He is beautiful, but very persistent in trying to get his ears scratched. Cats are not my favorite animal, as a matter of fact I am afraid of them. After I complained about the cat the doors that were opened daily remained closed. But at night he would come meowing at the balcony door to be let in. Cheeky little squatter. :) If you are in Cape Town in winter do not be surprised the Capetonians like to open all windows and doors, even in winter. The bathroom was cold. I am sure if I had mentioned it Heidi or Ronel would have supplied heat for the bathroom. There were no electrical outlets in the bathroom so I couldn't bring in the heater from my room. Ronel, the backbone of this operation, will make you the most fabulous omelet for breakfast and is available to do your laundry or cook dinner if you want to stay in. She is fabulous.
If you are in Bantry Bay Heidi's place is a place not to be missed. I would return in the spring time if the cat would just stay at his house :)
