We loved staying at this beautiful home!
We are a black mixed family of 4 that live in New York city. I am South African and my partner is LantinX from Chile. With a 6 year old and 21 year old--it was really important for us to be in a home that felt safe and welcoming. When we arrived- Tawanda welcomed us with a beautiful smile and talked us through the logistics of the house. He was incredibly warm, informative, reassuring and accepting. This was an excellent start to our stay.
Lloyd was responsive and sweet in his communication. And really helped us get settled in for a 3 week stay.
On the corner is Manhattan-- a really colorful LGBTQI friendly bar- we enjoyed lots of laughter and joy there, from the staff to the locals, we even met some NYC based folx. Another spot to check out--Almost right across the house is an excellent breakfast joint that makes a solid cappuccino and delightful breakfast. We would literally roll out of bed and go grab breakfast at this joint or at Bootleggers that is based in the Cape Quarters, where you have to try the fried egg and chicken livers. SO GOOD.
There are security guards round the clock. There were some nights when they were out there in the cold and we would buy them a hot coffee with a donut. It went a long way.
There is a housekeeper that I adored. Thandi. Again tipping goes a long way in Cape Town. Be as generous as your pockets can allow.
As a South African living aboard--I cant say enough how much we enjoyed our stay here. It is a beautiful spot with a roof deck pool and a great area to catch that tan.
And to all the staff, we love ya'll and cant wait to be back!
love
