This was my second time in Cape Town. Last time I stayed at the Long Street to have a taste of the vibrancy of this amazing city (see my review of Chapson) and this time I wanted to be near the beach and explore the other side of the mountain. I choose for Camps Bay because of its beautiful beaches and its famous Camps Bay strip. After nosing a bit around on Airbnb, I choose for Ingrid’s villa and it's the best choice I made. I fell in love with this place immediately as I entered it. It was very hard for me to leave the villa and go outside cause of the phenomenal views, the tasteful decoration and artwork. Even if the villa is just 5 minutes walk from the beach and the famous Camps Bay Strip, its very tempting to stay in, open a bottle of wine and enjoy the sunset views from the pool and the great balcony. If I could, I would stay here forever.
Here are the pro’s:
1. Great views from the living room and the bedrooms especially from he master bedroom. There is no way better to wake up then with sound and view of the ocean
2. Nice pool overlooking the beach and the mountains
3. Great host. Communication with Ingrid was spot on and she was always available for all my questions and requests.
4. Easy check in and check out
5. Good Wifi
6. Big kitchen with everything you need
7. Very well decorated
8. Short walk from the beach and the Camps Bay Strip
9. Very safe & private
10. Comfortable beds & couches to relax
11. Enough space
12. Nice area to be in. The walk along the beach up to Clifton beach and sea point is amazing
13. There is garage for your ca
14. Its a short (uber) drive to the cable car of table mountain
Con’s
1. The pictures on Airbnb don’t justify the villa. The villa in reality much more beautiful
