My stay at The Shack was idyllic, it fed my soul. The space is incredibly peaceful, it's beautifully casual yet so stylish and is perfectly conducive to total relaxation. Being able to fling open all the windows completely is heavenly and brings both the breeze and the view into the cottage. There's absolutely everything one could need and the smart home speaker system is a delight. The luxury of being able to access arguably the best beach in Cape Town just a stones throw away is sheer bliss (particularly when followed by an outside shower with a gaspingly gorgeous view). James is a fantastic host, highly responsive and very accommodating. His online instruction manual is so special and his honesty system and trust are indicative of an individual who personifies the space that he's hosting.
