I've always found it difficult to judge accommodations based on what the host describes, so I've always put more trust in the reviews, more than the description. With that being said, I hope this review helps.

Angela is in short an AMAZING host with her husband Fiazel. They welcomed us into their home, which is next to the cottage and treated us like family. They made Cape Town such an incredible experience for us.

I have been all over the world, stayed in nice hotels and sketchy hostels, and I've never had a stay more secure and friendly as staying with this couple. We've heard that there are some dangerous areas in Cape Town, but didn't really know where they were, and needed help with general knowledge about the city. The couple recognized our needs, and went out of their way to help us. They gave us maps, and stocked the fridge which was above and beyond what we paid for and asked. One night they even Braai'd for us, and we spent the evening learning about South African History and Cape Town. (If you have a chance, listen to their story!)

The Cottage:
The cottage was actually BETTER than what we had expected from the the pictures. It sits beautifully RIGHT under table mountain, and looks out over a shipping harbor. It is conveniently close to the heart of Cape Town, however is far enough away to not get caught up in unwanted hustle of the city.

Everything in the cottage works, although I would advise you to remember to bring a power adapter for whatever your appliances or chargers need.

The pullout couch really only sleeps one adult, so if you are judging whether or not you can cheat on this, go with what the description says. Parking is fully gated with an electronic gate. (they will give you a remote for it) and you really do have all the privacy you could ever want. There is a working fridge and freezer, and a sweet Braai facility. (Ask Fiazel to show you how to Braai.)

To sum up our experience here, I would say that the accommodations were great for our needs, and Angela & Fiazel made our experience incredible.

You must come stay with them.
