A comfortable well appointed Bedroom with En-suite bathroom in warm home. Solar and backup system, so no load shedding. Very close to beach and nature reserve in the kite surfing mecca of South Africa. Business travelers, weekend visitors or longer term tourist are welcome. The amenities close include Shopping center, restaurants and beach, all with in a 10 minute radius, with easy access into the city center. SANCOB volunteers this is your idea stay as within walking distance (1km). 2nd Single Bedroom with inter leading bathroom with main room with 3/4 bed.
All guests will be welcomed personally by the owner as I work from Home. There is always someone here to be of assistance. We are very sociable people and you are very welcome to join us for glass of wine or one of our famous Tuesday night Braai's. Just let us know in advance. Your host has a very good knowledge of Cape Town including its history and lesser known tourist sites, always ready to give you advice.
Homely area with lots of trees. Blouberg Beachfront and Eden on the bay close by and full of restaurants and bars. Excellent wine estates are plentiful within 10km.
