Stayed at Stephen and Maria's place during Christmas and the New Year Eve celebration and it was an all around great experience. I am a person who enjoys his quiet and there was never a moment that it wasn't peaceful. I took the trip with my fiance and she also loved the place. It is perfect for a romantic getaway. It is a fair distance from most of the big attractions that Cape Town has to offer, which was helpful when it came to planning out our days. There are also a handful of great restaurants near by that compliment the area and which offer good food and a great price. There are also beaches within a short drive from the residence, which was really helpful. There is also an awesome cleaning lady that comes every Tuesday and Friday to clean up and wash your clothes. I don't think the trip would have have went as well without her. All in all, Stephen and Maria were awesome hosts and have an awesome place ready to accommodate you during your trip to Cape Town.
