Darleen’s house is an absolute gem and then to add to that she is the perfect host. She has created a wonderful space with great style and artistic flair. I stayed for a few nights but could easily have settled in for life. She couldn’t have been more helpful especially when I had a few friends over for a brai, proving all I needed, especially essential lighting as we were plunged into a power cut. Darleen’s family and staff are charming and she is very relaxed about letting you use the garden and pool. I felt incredibly safe and the area is so central to town and Muizenberg. What more can I say - it was a joy to be here and to meet Darleen.
