It was my first time travelling alone for more than two days and I was a bit scared to do so. Especially hearing that I have to be extra careful in South Africa, I was happy that Sabine took the time to list options on how to get to hers from the airport. She gave me a warm welcome when I arrived and showed me the beautiful house. I chose the appartment based on my plans. As I was volunteering for an animal rescue organisation, the appartment was closeby so that I was able to even walk there every day. I didn't get robbed or mugged or anything, still I advise everyone to be cautious at any times. The Indian and the Atlantic ocean are both just a few minutes away by car. Although I didn't go for a swim since it was shortly after the South African winter (September) I went for quite a few walks along the several beaches and it was absolutely beautiful. So for everyone that would like to enjoy this part of nature and maybe see a few seals, whales, penguins etc I can absolutely recommend staying at Sabine's.
Also there's a shopping mall closeby (10-15 minute walk, 3 minute drive). I didn't have a car in Cape Town but if I did, I would be able to park it on Sabine's property.
The apartment looks so lovely and I enjoyed coming "home" every evening. Sabine had two rooms that she rents out via AirBnB. There's a bathroom that is only for the AirBnB guests and if it's busy there's also another bathroom downstairs that can be used - so no issues if someone takes a bit longer. The spacious kitchen offered everything I needed for cooking and I had a beautiful view from the windows in my room.
There are two cats that are happy to enlighten your day if you want to cuddle them.
To sum it up, my stay at Sabine's was absolutely wonderful and I even extended my stay as I didn't want to leave. I'd definitely go back there if I went to Cape Town again!
