I warmly recommend this wonderful house in Tamboerskloof to all airbnb users. To say that it has a room with a view is the understatement of the decade. The top floor comprises a high-ceilinged open plan living room/dining room/kitchen with glass walls giving a truly magnificent view of Table Mountain, Lion's Head and the city bowl. We had some really great times, enjoying a meal or a glass of wine, or tea and Christmas cake with that incredible view as a backdrop.

The rest of the house, (bedrooms/bathrooms) offers the best of modern design: generous spaces, harmonious layout, uncluttered, functional and luxurious. A special word must be said for the absolutely stunning bathrooms, designed by Lisa, the host, (a professional in that area of design).

Out the back is a plunge pool and a decked area which we enjoyed daily and especially on days when it was a bit too windy to go to the beach.

It's hard to imagine a better place to stay for a holiday in Cape Town. Tamboerskloof is one of my favourite areas: safe and quiet; nice area to take a walk, day or evening; close to shopping, restaurants, pubs etc.; easy to get on the major routes.

Lisa and her husband Leigh have been great to deal with. Pleasant and friendly from the word go. We received a booklet with all the information we needed about the house and the area as well as contact numbers in case of emergency. Thoroughly well planned and prepared down to the last detail.

After showing us around the house, the hosts were completely unintrusive but available if we needed help.

Thanks Lisa!
Five fat stars for the house and the hosts!

(We took the option of hiring the family's char a few days during our stay and we couldn't have hoped for a nicer or more professional person.)
