The gecko is so much more than you can see from the photos and I would highly recommend it!
We had such a great week there and felt immediately at home. We arrived later than scheduled but that was not a problem and were welcomed by Denny whose hosting made our stay particularly enjoyable.
The house itself has gorgeous sea views all around (we spotted whales!) And the deck is the perfect place for a leisurely breakfast or braai. The garden and play area was great for our little one.
We felt very safe there - secluded but also close to everything. It's a perfect location if you want to be out of the hustle and bustle of the city but close enough to explore the whole peninsula.
The shops and restaurants of kalk bay are very close by (I would highly recommend Kalky's fish and chips in the harbour). And central Cape Town is only half an hour's drive.
One thing to note is that even if you drive you do have to negotiate steps to get to the house. This wasn't a problem for us at all but might be a consideration for others.
All in all a great stay. Thanks Martim and Denny. We hope to be back one day!
