Heather's place is just outstanding! Although she could not welcome us in person, her friend welcomed us as warmly as possible with a lot of tips, some wine, bread and everything else you need when you arrive.
The apartment offers everything you need and more. We always felt very comfortable and enjoyed every single minute of our stay. It has an very cosy, creative atmosphere and offers a lot of space. After three weeks at the apartment, we felt like leaving our own home. The kitchen is equipped very well with upmarket cooking utensils, a big oven and stove. Also the bathroom/ wardrobe is very spacious with two sinks and it is clean. The sleeping area with its huge and comfortable bed invites for sweet dreams and a peaceful sleep. Although the sleeping area is situated directly under the roof, we never felt hot during the nights. The place also offers a closed parking space, which is a big plus. The highlight of the place, is the huge deck, where you can chill out, enjoy the sun, have breakfast during sunrise or have typical South African braais with your friends (which you definitely should not miss during your stay). It has a beautiful view at the sea and table mountain.
The area is vibrant, colourful and offers a large selection of cafes (Charles Cafe, Origin, The Village Cafe) bars (Manhattan, The Sky Bar, The Piano Bar) and shops. All of them are just a few steps away from the apartment. You always feel save and secure and can walk around by foot. Close to the apartment is the shopping Center Cape Quarter, which offers a lot of shopping possillities as well.
Heather is definitely a super host. Already before our arrival we stayed in contact and she arranged everything according to our wishes and always offered her help, if we would have needed anything. She replied to our messages very quickly. She was always there if we needed her and did her very best to make our stay unforgettable. She is a lovely, very friendly, helpful, open minded and thoughtful person, who is always around, if you need a hand. But still you always enjoy your privacy, if you want to. She knew that we celebrate Christmas with our family and friends at the apartment. So she surprised us with a lovely Christmas tree full of chocolate. Since we got married during our stay, we had a lot of friends around, which was never a problem for her. She even supported us and helped us whenever and wherever she could.
We are very thankful for staying with Heather and we will come back for sure. We have been to South Africa/ Cape Town already a couple of times and we have never stayed at such a perfect place with such a lovely host before. So for all the people who, are looking after a place to stay in Cape Town, Heather's place is absolutely the perfect choice.
