This place is BEAUTIFUL! The photos in the listing are exactly what it looks like. The photos are 100% accurate. The sun rises over the mountains so if you are an early bird then you are about to witness one of the most beautiful sights in Cape Town.
The host (Dale) is a great host. One of the nicest hosts I have met on AirBnB. He took the time to explain all the ins and outs of Cape Town to us and was even kind enough to create an itinerary for us of what to do on which day based on the weather. I have never experienced such hospitality at an AirBnB. The housekeeper (Mac) made sure the rooms were cleaned and ready for us when we got back every evening.
The property is in a very safe part of Cape Town and to make it extra safe, there is a security guard at the entrance of the compound.
The host does live on the same property. The "Patio" photo does a good job reflecting the layout. The suite is downstairs level and the host has the upstairs level. The entrances are separate.
As for the suite itself:
Pros:
- The view!
- The host and housekeeper are fantastic people
- Safe and secure
- Did I mention the view?!
Cons:
- Wifi was weak and spotty
- Property is not self check-in as host has to meet you to give you access and keys but host was always available since he lives upstairs
- There is no washer and dryer but there is a laundry service available for a fee
