The Hummingbird Suite was a great spot in a great city. We booked at the last minute and Candice was incredibly accommodating (as in, we booked about 45 minutes before we showed up and she had the place ready to go and immediately welcomed us into her home).
The suite is a bedroom and attached bathroom that is located inside a larger villa. It is worth noting that Candice’s family and adorable little pooch are around the larger house, but she does a great job of isolating the suite from them unless you (the guest) welcome them into your space, which we did on multiple occasions.
There is a staff for the larger villa that attend to the room and tidy up and prepare a light breakfast in the morning. They were fabulous and a pleasure to chat with during our stay.
One other thing to note is that there is no personal access to a kitchen or refrigerator. On the flip side, Candice and the house staff were constantly filling up water carafes for us, so we always had water available.
As a host, Candice couldn’t have been better. She has lived in Cape Town for a long time and has great recommendations on dining and social activities and seems to know the city inside and out, which was great for some travelers with not much info, like us.
This would be a great place for couples looking to be close to the beach -- about a 10 minute walk to Camps Bay Beach, and 20 minute walk to Clifton 4th/3rd; or for someone in town for business. Can’t recommend the suite, the location, and the host highly enough.
