This was my second, and my wife’s first, stay at African Sun, and we’re hooked!
Don and Patricia are gracious and welcoming hosts who provide fruit, muffins AND a bottle of red win from the Cape Town area upon arrival. They’ve also compiled a helpful guidebook, complete with pithy descriptions and a local map, of neighborhood sights, restaurants and activities, as well as a useful collection of books about Cape Town that you can find in the shelves in the bedroom. (It’s worth noting that Vredehoek is a pleasant and walkable neighborhood in its own right while also being close to many downtown attractions and other points of interest.
The space includes a dining/eating area and a spacious, comfortable room with two beds and high ceilings; some of Don’s remarkable wildlife photographs cover the walls in both areas. Don and his Patricia are both accomplished writers whose work has a profound moral core. My wife and I spent a fascinating hour chatting with Don about his latest projects and some of the work that we each are doing before he headed off for a mountain bike ride; the conversation easily could have lasted longer.
I look forward to returning to Cape Town soon, and, when there, will definitely look into staying at African Sun, if available.
