Bernie's penthouse apartment is beautiful. He made us so welcome when we arrived and explained everything to us. The Apartment is very tastefully decorated, very comfortable beds, beautiful bed linen. Wifi and all mod cons, plus Bernie is at the end of the phone if you need him.
The location is great, being only a short walk to the V&A Waterfront to take the city bus tour and the jetty to take the boat ride to Robben Island. We also could not believe how close we were to Table Mountain. It is a must to do all three.
Lots of little restaurants within walking distance. Try The Butchers Restaurant - fabulous Steaks a few blocks away. Also great seafood and al-a-carte restaurants at the Waterfront, lots of choice for everyone. Good shopping mall and great vibe with entertainment.
Everything is so near. The walks to and around the bay are stunning - you can walk right around the Bay to Seapoint, which we did most mornings.
Bernie has car parking bay allocated to him, so everything is safe and secure. We hired a car. It was only a short drive around to Hout Bay and Camps Bay and the drive to the Stellenbosch Wine Farms was less than 1.5 hours away and similar to the Game Safari, which is fabulous
We even did the drive to Cape Agulhas, which was 2.5 hours away but well worth it as it is the most southern point of the African Continent and where the South Atlantic Ocean meets the Indian Ocean. They have made it into a National Park.
We would definitely recommend to stay at Bernie's apartment if you visit Cape Town.
