We enjoyed every second of our week in Cape Town! Michael gave us a warm welcome and driving tour of the city at night, as well as a care package of breakfast goodies.
The condo was spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed. Its location was ideal for us with myciti and red tour bus stops just outside the door. Our young teen could safely go by himself to the V&A Waterfront complex, which he loved. We found everything we needed there--groceries and wine at Woolworths, a pharmacy and Clicks. We had delicious seafood at Baia restaurant, bought tickets for day trips (Cape Point/Boulders Beach and wine country) from the red tourist bus company by the aquarium, and rented bikes from the shop in silo 5, which we road down the coast and turned in at Camps Bay. We also visited the rugby museum in the complex, where we played video games and stocked up on springbok merchandise.
In addition to Table Mountain, highlights included surf lessons (www.learn2surf.co.za) and lunch at Empire Cafe in Muizenberg, a bus ride along the coast to Hout Bay (lunch at the aptly named Delish), and sunset at Bloubergstrand Beach, with sundowners and snacks on the second floor Primi Piatti Restaurant. We also watched a few sunsets and enjoyed brunch at the friendly Cafe Sotano down the block (they also do takeaway) and had fantastic steaks and seafood at the nearby Hussar Grill.
We highly recommend Michael's rental and Cape Town in general!
