An absolutely wonderful house in my favorite suburb in Cape Town! I stayed at the Duke for 3 months and fully enjoyed my time here. The house is gorgeous and offers incredible views of observatory and Devil's peak- one of Cape Town's iconic mountains. The kitchen is supplied with an excellent stove, oven, microwave, and dishwasher and the backyard garden is beautiful and packed with delicious vegetables during the summer season. Tim is an incredible host and person- he is willing to go way out of his way to ensure your time at the Duke is comfortable and pleasant. He is also very connected within the observatory community and is constantly recommending and is involved in many events and activities. Observatory has a vibrant arts and food scene and is conveniently located in between the CBD and the southern suburbs, making it centrally located and especially easy for me to commute daily to the University of Cape Town via the jammie buses. Overall I highly recommend the Duke!
