Glenda and Gavin were the best hosts we could have imagined. We felt very welcomed in their house from the moment we arrived. Glenda waited for us at the airport to pick us up which was very sweet, and when we got to the house she was very welcoming and offered us some tea. Glenda and Gavin are very social and friendly, they were so nice to invite us for wine and a lovely dinner and even a braai with their friends. Since we had some trouble finding a flat, they were so helpful in so many different ways. They also gave us plenty of really nice tips on where to eat, which markets are nice and much more. The room we stayed in is really cozy and nice and has everything one might need: blow dryer, heater, big cupboards, desk, books, Wi-Fi… etc. the garden is like a botanical garden and perfect to relax. Newlands itself is a very nice area, with lots or greenery and natural beauty. Just up the street is Table Mountain where it is beautiful to go for a walk or run. Within walking distance there are nice restaurants and pubs and Cavendish Square is also close where u can get everything u might need. To the city center is just 10 minutes with the car. We can definitely recommend Glenda & Gavin’s house and we really hope to meet them again. Thanks a lot to a really wonderful family!
