An unique place to stay with fresh air and huge stunning gardens similar to the botanical gardens. We close to the famous Table Mountain known as the 8th wonder of the world. We have now became an much sought after residence. The historic 5 star Mount Nelson Hotel is within walking distance where you could enjoy your afternoon tea and delicacies.
Host family with many years experience has a sunny private fully furnished room available with wardrobe, desk and color t.v. Not to mention the stunning room views consisting of views of palm trees, gardens and mountains. Holiday makers will just love our huge 2 beer gardens, barbecue facilities and palm trees which has a resort type of vibe, but only more cost friendly.
The available room is always hygienically spring cleaned prior to your arrival day. We welcome our guest on their first night to a free dinner.
Being close to all amenities it only takes 1 minute walk from our residence to my Citi bus transport which does most routes at a very affordable price. My Citi bus does airport pick you ups and will drop you off at our residence. Or else, we have excellent taxi service's, highly recommended called Excite taxis which is most cost friendly. We are also only 3 minute walk to a huge shopping complex called Gardens Center and the popular German restaurant called: Raith can be found there among many other shops. The Wembly Square is also a hop and skip away if you need a workout at Virgin Active gym.
The V&A Waterfront which is the place to go and can find anything from jewelry to fine art works. This is indeed a huge tourist attraction. You could hop onto my Citi bus which will get you there within minutes. And don't forget another popular tourist getaway Table Mountain with its magnificent views from the cable car. Long street and Kloof street well known for its rich culture and night life is about a few minutes walking. You can find anything from cake shops, boutique's, pubs, clubs to mention a few. Cape Town, the place to be that will leave you with life long memories at a fraction of what it could cost else where.

The host cancelled the booking on the day of arrival.
February 2017
The room I was to stay in smelled of cigarette smoke and I asked to open the window. Nellie said that they do not smoke in the apartment they go to the garden to smoke---I told her I had asthma and showed her my inhaler. I coughed all night.
No lock on the bathroom door you have to turn a red/green block over to indicate usage that is hung on the door.
Nellie and the family stay up all night, there was loud noise until 6ish. I was very frightened.7.
When I woke up I took a shower and told the sister I wanted to talk to Nellie but she said she wasn't there. So I told her that someone in this house smokes and I coughed all night and I won't be able to stay there. She gave me my money back less the night's charge.
