Chris and Anton is just about the greatest host I've ever come across and their aura of frendliness is expressed in every detail both in the cottage and the amazing garden.
The cottage is clean and have everything you need plus it really feels like a home, which is nice. This was my first time in Cape Town and I wanted to stay in Obsevatory to see something different than the obvious beach or so. There's a lot of talk about safety in CT and I never felt unsafe walking in the area, even alone late a night. Two blocks from the place theres good restaurants(I recommend Fernandinos Pizza for A+ pizzas and a unique vibe), fancy coffee(St James) and a supermarket. If I wanted to go somewhere else I took an Uber(cheap and safe).
I did a lot of research before going to CT and this cottage both location wise and value wise is OFF THE CHARTS! Enjoy your stay - I did:)
