I was very happy with this choice, a win! Comfortable, well equipped (cotton sheets), quiet, clean, directly across the street from the ocean. Nearby stairs lead down to a series of rock pools. Although the Cape coast can be windy, Bantry Bay is relatively sheltered. An eight minute walk away is a high street crammed with restaurants, grocery stores, laundries, hairdressers, etc.
The lounge and main bedroom face the sea. You can view the ocean between your toes while lying on the bed. The sunsets right in front of the windows are spectacular.
The hostess, Melinda, was easily accessible by phone and quick to help, for example I had trouble at first finding some items The caretaker, Phil, was also helpful when I encountered some technical problems.
The flat is filled with Melinda’s books, including guides to travel, history, geography, architecture and culture around Cape Town and the Western Cape, which I found fascinating and useful. I would thoroughly recommend the flat.
