Vanessa's place is a gem. From the minute we were shown into the beautifully airy room and spotted the gorgeous sea view out of the full height windows we felt relaxed. Even on cloudy days it is so lovely to watch the changing weather and seas from the balcony or down on the deck. Vanessa and Peter were the most welcoming hosts, leaving us tea, coffee and milk and they even loaned us a bottle of lovely South African Sauvignon Blanc until we had located the supermarket and could return it. You will not be able to buy alcohol within the vicinity but need to travel 15 mins by bus 108 or 109 to SeaPoint to the supermarket. It's worth buying a Citibus pass from the library a 5 minute walk away from the property as it is easy to get anywhere once you have one. Vanessa again was so helpful, giving us a leftover pass so we could get started quickly, which we passed on to the next guest. Everything in the room was comfy, lovely bed, huge tv, spacious storage, a small fridge, decent wifi, big walk in shower area and bath. You can get beach towels from the property. There is a great steak house - Hussar - up the hill about 5 minutes walk away, really delicious food if you don't want to go into town but you must book in advance. And a fantastic locals coffee shop called Baked, about 3 or 4 mins down the hill, we had breakfast and coffee in here every day. You can of course stay nearer the action but it's an easy 10 min walk down the hill to the lively bars and restaurants on the main strip down in Camps bay. It felt very safe to walk around the Camps bay area, even at night. Taxis might beep you for business as they drive past but it really did feel safe to walk around the local area. There is also a tidal pool for the adventurous, but it's freezing! We never had a beach day in the end because of limited time and the Autumn weather but the nearest beach is a 10 min walk away. You're also close to Table Mountain, a short bus ride to Kloofs Nek and then shuttle. I loved staying here and would come back if I returned to Cape Town. Vanessa and Peter made it feel homely and made the experience even better.
