I recently booked 5 Wandel Street in the Gardens neighborhood of Cape Town for my boss who was traveling with family and staff on business.
This home was absolutely perfect and filled the needs of family and business. It's a stunning property and provided adequate privacy and comfort. The pictures don't show how expansive the property is and it was very convenient to have an office space to work, a family room to play, a pool with a courtyard for the small child, and two private rooms upstairs for the Nanny.
The location was perfect for the family as well. Across the street and nearby were many cafes serving excellent food and coffee, a yoga studio, a massage therapy studio, and a shopping center mall for groceries and supplies which were all safe to walk to in the daytime. Uber and local taxi cabs were all courteous and easy to find in the neighborhood at night. The family all felt very comfortable, secure, relaxed and able to work in Lindsay's home.
Tracy, the house manager was extremely responsive and greeted the family personally on arrival and promtly responded to any needs while the family was in Cape Town. And while it was not clear in the description that the house came with daily household staff, Eunice the housekeeper and Albert the gardener came in Monday through Friday and were lovely, thoughtful and very responsive and in the end having the surprise amenity of having household staff was very much appreciated. Tracy also let us know that we could change up their schedules to fit the privacy needs of the family.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this home, this neighborhood and Cape Town. The family really enjoyed themselves and should business bring them back to Cape Town again I will certainly book them in 5 Wandel Street.
