My parents were in Cape Town for medical reasons and stayed at Yvonne's for a week during my father's recovery. She made us feel extremely welcome (let me bunk the odd night there with my blow up mattress at no extra charge!) and generally made the stay a very pleasant one. The flatlet is secure and within a short walking distance to the beach. You'll be pressed to find anything equivalent at this price.

Muizenberg is undergoing a re-birth and there are so many interesting little restaurants and artisan shops springing up in the area - Carla's, a tiny restaurant near the (Muizenberg) train station is a case-in-point - IMHO the best Mozambique style food in Cape Town.

It's VERY close to the False Bay train station which was super-handy. Also check out friday night market at the Blue Bird Garage nearby http://www.capetownmagazine.com/shopping/blue-bird-garage-food-and-goods-market-in-muizenberg/176_22_19186, and the village area on Palmer Road nearby which is easily missed if you don't know about it!
