As a childhood friend of mine says: every memorable moment starts with a crisis wrapped in adventure.
We arrived here late one evening and climbing the 200 stairs felt like a scramble up a mountain in the dark.
But being able to stop half way up and look up at the sky and see a million stars while hearing the ocean below was incredible.
Waking up to the view was even more spectacular.
This is the type of hideaway where you are constantly being called outward but your soul is content to simply sit and watch the ocean below.
The highlight for my mom and I was sitting on the deck watching a pod of dolphins play as they swam from Fish Hoek towards Simon’s Town as the sun set on our last evening. It was a rare gift.
