We arrived pretty late in the evening and were openly welcomed by Casey, a vibrant and friendly host. We were immediately swept by this magnificent home we were going to stay in. It must be said that the house has developed since the pictures we saw online, it is even more spectacular in person. Waking up to the uninterrupted city views and the breathtaking Table Mountain was nothing short of magical. All the guest in our party had enough space to feel relaxed in their own privacy, while still being able to enjoy the common spaces and bask in this home's impressiveness. We found it difficult to find reason to venture out, but alas we did.
The neighborhood has a suburban charm, with beautiful Victorian homes nestled alongside the pulsing city life it was easy to indulge in the trendy culture and scrumptious food moments away. Having all the conveniences of food markets and public transport lines (MyCiTi Bus) within walking distance. Casey made sure to supply us with a list of restaurants that we made good use of, special mention to 'Hallelujah' around the corner and to 'Babylonstoren Farm' (a definite must experience).
The wonderful woman servicing the home was a great help, she made us feel comfortable and was tentative to our needs during the stay- readily available to answer our practical questions.
Staying in Casey and Dan's home felt a bit like reading a fantastical novel, in every kitchen cupboard, each book on the shelf and artwork on the wall was a discovery. Their home was much a part of our holiday, as were the sights. It truly offered rest and comfort, from the delicate linen bed spread to lazing on the garden lounger.
This was a holiday I am sure neither myself nor our party will ever forget, it was nothing short of magic. We will treasure these memories and will always be grateful for the time spent in this gem of a home. There is no choice in the matter! JUST BOOK IT ALREADY!
