Marguerite's place is a great place to stay - she's in a very safe neighborhood, the house is super clean, private fridge and coffee/tea fixings in room, with access to a microwave in the kitchen. Easy to get to by car, but for those who don't have a car, I took the Goldenarrow Retreat bus all the way from Cape Town center station to the Retreat bus/train station, which is within 20 minutes walking distance of the house. Or you could skip the walk and Uber from the Retreat station. The train also goes from Cape Town center station to the Retreat station, but it's better to take the bus on Saturdays and Sundays as it's quite dangerous to be on the trains on those days. I hope this helps out my fellow backpackers!
