What attracted us to the location was being in the Bo-Kaap with easy access to De Waterkant, the V&A and the City. We loved hearing the call to prayers and observing the street life in the Bo-Kaap - the area is full of character. And its location provided easy access to the City bowl and the rest of the Cape Peninsula. The Hemp House itself was stylishly designed with a Scandinavian feel and had all the required amenities. Definitely highly recommended - unless you crave absolute silence and solitude.
