Wow. I don’t even know where to start. The apartment is absolutely stunning, located in the best neighborhood in Cape Town, with the most amazing view and nearby walking and hiking trails. It felt beyond safe. We slept with the glass wall open to the sea every night - probably the only place in the world we’ve felt comfortable doing so because of the way the apartment is laid out. And it was silent and without wind. Absolutely paradise.
Sabine has stocked the apartment with everything you could ever need. Lots of people say that when they write reviews, but this apartment was truly stocked. It felt like home (actually better than home). Everything was spotless, and very comfortable. And there are so many little surprises and extra touches that make it feel like home. I don’t want to spoil the surprises by giving them away but we felt like welcome guests in a five star hotel (except with a much bigger and more comfortable space)
And the highlight of it all is the hosting. Saying that Sabine is a super host is the understatement of the century. She is in the know in Cape Town and knows everything and everyone. She is quick to offer suggestions and her husband, Pascal, is a delight as well. We are very independent travelers and sometimes worry about having to interact with hosts but Sabine and Pascal were so welcoming. They are willing to interact as much or as little with you as desired and really add the magic to this place. And Angela, the housekeeper is exceptional and not at all intrusive.
This is such a beautiful, private, and exclusive rental in an amazing location, we can’t wait to return.
