My brother and I traveled to Cape Town and spent the New Year’s holiday staying with Dorothee in her lovely home. Dorothee is an excellent host and her home is perfect! From the cuddly huskies that greeted us at the door, to the beautiful décor and relaxing scenery on the deck by the water, we definitely recommend this listing to anyone looking for a safe and relaxing place to stay for their Cape Town holiday. Not to worry if you’re not an animal lover, the two dogs have wonderful manners and will leave you alone if you wish.

The home is located within walking distance of Muizenberg, which boasts several shops, restaurants, and the famous Surfers’ Corner beach. There is also a metro-rail station in Muizenberg, making transport farther down the peninsula or into the center of Cape Town extremely convenient (and cheap: only R50 for a 2-day pass!). Within a 2 minute walk of Dorothee’s home, there is a small plaza with 2 restaurants and a store. She also prepares a delicious breakfast for her guests – something yon do not want to miss!

There is a visitor’s center in Muizenberg with helpful guides that can assist with calling taxis, scheduling tours, and telling you about fun things to do/places to visit.

Thank you Dorothee for such a great visit! We truly enjoyed our time with you and cannot wait to visit Cape Town (and you) again soon!
