100% The perfect place in Cape Town!!! Please look at the other rave reviews for tips. They are accurate. Ciska and Koelene did a stellar job of communicating. They were constantly available and did their best to give instant feedback whenever we needed it. I bombarded them with questions and always got a friendly reply! Their helpers and housekeepers are gracious, run a good operation and add to the homely feeling you get when you enjoy your stay at the stylish, comfortable, safe and spotless flat on Kloof. The price is unbeatable.
Thanks again for letting us check in earlier and leave our bags in the flat until our afternoon flight. That was kind.
We booked rather last minute and were highly satisfied. As travellers who like city life and public transport, it is perfect. We took the MyCiTi bus, Uber and Bolt to enjoy the area (don’t miss Camp’s Bay and Signal Hill!) and even the gorgeous Stellenbosch area.
The restaurants and cafes near the flat are wonderful. The kitchen is well stocked with tea towels and other essentials. There is plenty of good quality tea and Nescafé as well. We enjoyed some evenings in (super Indian vegetarian takeaway opposite the flat and the Woolworth frozen pizzas bake perfectly in the big oven:-)
You will fall in love with the in-your-face Table Mountain view from the balcony, bedroom and living room. We slept very well. The bed is on the firm side and the sheets and duvet were obviously high quality. There is no A/C in the flat, which didn’t bother us at all. There is a fan in the bedroom and a constant breeze so relax and enjoy. I am a light sleeper and was not bothered by any street/restaurant noise at night.
Don’t worry too much about people telling you that Cape Town is dangerous. Just use common sense and don’t walk around with your iPhone 11 in your back pocket and a fancy handbag with all your credit cards and cash. You can instantly order an Uber anywhere in the area of you don’t feel comfortable;-)
Be aware that in South Africa there are periodic power cuts. This obviously means that the elevator also does not work (in case you have mobility issues). Clearly the hosts have no control over this phenomenon, but they will warn you in advance so you can plan accordingly.
All the best and see you next time for sure!
