I really enjoyed my short stay at Dorothea's place in St Martini's Gardens. Don and Jaco were excellent and very helpful, and responded quickly to any queries. The apartment block is located in a good area nearby to several consulates (Italian and French), and manned by friendly and efficient security. The apartment itself is a compact, well equipped and luxurious garden studio. I particularly enjoyed the comfortable bed, power rain shower and free Netflix on the smart TV. The balcony opens onto the the internal courtyard style garden only accessible to residents, which lends a tranquil and spacious feel to the apartment. There is also a large clean outdoor swimming pool in the garden area. The historic Company's Garden is across the road from St Martini, and I had a lovely eggs Benedict breakfast at the open air restaurant there. I especially loved the collection of old trees in the Garden (Oak, Rubber, Magnolia amongst others), and the amazing view of Table Mountain from there. There is lots to do and see in the area, the South African museum and Planetarium (hop on hop off bus stops there), and National library with the centre for the book are adjacent to the apartment block. A short walk gets you to colourful Long Street, Greenmarket square, Kloof and Bree street, where there are lots of interesting shops and restaurants. You can also walk to several 5 star hotels such as the Taj and Mount Nelson from the block. I will definitely be returning to explore some more areas.
