For those who are absolutely not familiar with Cape Town, you need to realise that the city is spread along various locations and Camps Bay is definitely our favourite for many reasons. Firstly, the scenery is beautiful, the view on the ocean and the mountains is amazing and the location is probably amongst the safest in the city because this is where wealthy people are living. Camps Bay is around 5 to 10 minutes by car from the center, 30 minutes from Constantia, 5 to 10 minutes from the west area if you go to Sea Point or the Waterfront. Needless to say, that you must have a car if you stay here because the flat is on the heights and there a no way to come here by bus or any other local transportation. It is also very convenient to stay here because you are close from the main road and not close to the ocean where quite often there is a traffic jam.

The flat where you will stay is the front apartment from Birgit’s villa and has its own access. She warmly welcomed us on the first day, was very helpful to give us instructions on how to arrive and leave the place. A very friendly person who has a beautiful house here in Bakoven which is the upper part of Camps Bay.

The apartment is really big with a fantastic mezzanine where you will sleep. The most amazing thing is to wake up, open the blinds and have a direct view on the ocean from the bed! Cupboards with hangers, washing machine, fridge, equipped kitchen for those who cook which was not our case. Even an iron in the case you do some washing. There is also a terrace if you want to sun bath but probably you will go to the beach which is 5 minutes from the flat. Minor negative point is the slow and unreliable internet access but this is South Africa…

Location is really quiet, there are security services driving frequently in the area, it is really a great place to stay and hanging around while being in Cape Town. Many thanks Birgit for having made our stay so enjoyable.
