I loved every minute in Mark's loft. The views (get up early at least one morning and admire the sunrise over False Bay!), the comfort of a well-designed place, sunny afternoons on the deck .. all make for a perfect base. A base to discover Kalk Bay itself (Olympia Café is a truly wonderful 'local') and the wider region, whether it's just relaxing on the beach or in the tidal pools, wine tasting in Constantia or serious hiking in the Silvermine or Table Mountain nature reserve. Last but not least: Mark is a very attentive but not intrusive host, quickly responding to any queries.
