We have just left after an idyllic 4 days staying in Julie's beautiful apartment. It really was a home away from home with everything you need in the kitchen too. It was really clean, light and comfy with lovely little touches like some essentials in the fridge and fresh flowers. It's just on the edge of the forest which means you can hear the birdsong and smell all the beautiful flora from Julie's garden and beyond. The gate at the back leads to the forest which was lovely for some evening walks! The apartment is a little bit out of town but we live in London so we were happy to be more close to nature than in a city like at home! Everywhere was close enough, especially as we'd hired a car.
We felt really safe and welcome there, Julie lives next door and balanced nicely between being around for advice and a chat and giving us privacy. She was so kind, leaving us a picnic blanket, a coolbox and a few beers after we'd mentioned we were going to a concert in Kirstenbosch gardens (really close) and she remembered Sunday liquor laws would make it hard to buy some. You'd struggle to find anywhere as nice as this. We miss it already, thank you Julie x
