Jacqui is a lovely person who cares about her guests and is knowledgeable about many of the attractions the city has to offer. As advertised, the view from her veranda which overlooks a waterfowl refuge and a clear view of Table Mountain, can sometimes be breathtaking. There are two rooms, one more spacious with a private bath, and the other comfortable but much smaller that requires sharing a bath with the hosts - be sure to ask which you are booking. As noted by other guests, there are three dogs (two pugs and a rescue); they generally have a sweet disposition and the only time a guest might be impacted by their presence is that they sometimes bark indiscriminately. There are several advantages to the site's location: it is a stone's throw from two substantive shopping malls that will accommodate most needs; it is an easy walk to MyCiTi bus terminals; there are several very good restaurants not far away (Catch 22 for seafood and Cowboys and Cooks for carnivores are highly recommended); if you'd like to keep in shape there is a Virgin Active fitness center less than a kilometer away and a Planet Fitness facility a short drive to Parkland; if you are a kite surfer this is your ticket to ride - the winds off the Atlantic are relentless; there are some lovely uncrowded beaches north along the coast (e.g., a family oriented tidal pool at Silverstroom and an almost deserted beach at Pearl Bay in Yzerfontein). However, it should also be noted that the West Coast area of the city is definitively suburban and fairly well removed from the CBD - if you need or want to be in the heart of the city this may not be the ideal location. And you will be a very long way from the hip Cape Town beaches of Clifton/Camps Bay and the surfer/artsy areas along False Bay like Muizenberg and Kalk Bay. Otherwise, Jacqui is a most accommodating hostess who will unerringly steer you in the right direction.
