We stayed at Joel's house in Simon's Town for two nights.
His wife Annchen, with whom we were in contact, responded to all our queries timeously thorough out the weekend and was always very friendly.
The place was easy to find and perfectly located in the heart of this charming town, with breathtaking view over the bay.
Annchen & Joel left info sheets for us with details about our staying, advises on location to see and places to eat. We followed most of them and we were extremely happy!!! It was nice to have good recommendations for a place we didn't know.
The place was impeccably clean, had comfortable and modern furnishing with very tasteful choices of décor and art. Everything from the cutlery and crockery to the linen was of excellent quality. What made the difference for us, compare to many other places we stayed, was the attention to the guests possible needs: lovely children books in the kids bedroom (and even a videogame console for the rainy days), an ample choice of novels and board games in the lounge, binoculars for whale watching, spare cellphone charges throughout the house, just to mention a few things. It really felt like home away from home.
We highly recommend this place, especially if you enjoy nature and the charm of a small town, you won't be disappointed!
What an amazing experience!
