This was our second stay in this apartment. It was already perfect in 2019 but became even better after Robyn and Dale took over (and it was not easy to top the previous hosts!). It is a perfect home away from home. The only problem is you do not want to leave the place! Never been to Cape Town? Then this is the flat for you. Regularly in Cape Town? Then this is also the flat for you. Why? Take your time and read our opinion below.
Location:
After having lived in Cape Town and having visited a couple of times I strongly recommend the location of this flat without hesitation. You can easily and securely reach dozens of restaurants with beautiful seaview and great food as well as the best beaches (Camps Bay and Clifton) in easy and safe walking distance. No Taxi/Uber needed. You can also comfortably reach the City Bowl and Waterfront by Uber/Taxi (10 minute ride with almost no waiting time).
Apartment:
Is even better and more beautiful than you can see online. Since regular cleaning service is provided you will find your oasis spotlessly cleaned everyday. Having stayed in multiple hotels in SA I attest Caroline and team 5-Star service. They are absolutely trustworthy. You can enjoy beautiful sunrises with splendid seaviews from your own terrace complete with lawn and loungers or from the living room. Care for a Braai (BBQ)? Weber Grill and Equipment provided! Day at the beach planned? Take the readily packed beach bag including beach tennis, add some wine to the provided picnic set with coolbox (ice cubes can be found in the freezer) and off you go. Very good washer and tumble dryer also is provided. So you can travel lightly. If you do sports, this ist he location for you. You can safely run either on the coast to sea point promenade (5km) or further to the V&A waterfront (8km). A beautiful hike will lead you onto Lions head directly from the door. If you have a car you can park it at the own parking space right on the street.
Hosts: Robyn and Dale are really true sweethearts. They live in the villa above. There is no direct connection and the apartment is privately secluded so you have the feeling of a free standing house. Upon arrival late at night they offered us complementary cheese and wine which made us feel at home right away. They included a compact travelguide into their „handbook“. But as Capetonian Insiders they will spoil you with every hint you want if you want to leave the beaten path. The two also help organizing transfer from the airport if needed. We enjoyed a spectacular pilates class in their studio overlooking the atlantic ocean (they invited us). If there is any problem, they will see to it immedeately. Their pets (Furrow the dog and two cats) will be there for you to cuddle. But if you are not into animals, you will not notice them since the apartment and the adjoining villa are not directly connected and the pets really behave well. We really had the feeling to leave friends.
We thank you guys for making our stay in Cape Town unforgettable. We will certainly be back in our „home away from home“!
