The castle was just as described, but what Joubert and his lovely family offered was much more. Upon arriving there was cold wine waiting in the fridge, fresh fruit and snacks on the kitchen counter, and a welcoming phone call from Joubert, making sure everything was okay. He also offered a few tips for navigating the area.
The neighborhood is charming and refreshing. The air was crisp from the ocean waters below. I thought it was such a treat to listen to the ocean waves in bed before going to sleep. It was lulling and peaceful.
The beach is beautiful and close. It's about a 5-10 minute walk from the house. Restaurant and cafes are accessible mostly by car but they are nonetheless close. I used Uber to get around and it was very convenient.
I would definitely recommend The Castle to travelers out there. It's a great choice all around.
Thank you Joubert!
