Everything. Beautiful view, easy checkin/out, plenty of space in the sea view, great patio view, great location almost on the end of the head, great host ask what you like, he knows so many places to go and see, no safety concerns could not recommend enough. We are from U.S. it’s absolutely beautiful here and resembles Hawaii in many ways. Will return and stay again. View is from the top roof deck. Across you’ll see the other mountain head which is featherbed reserve. If you zoom in on the mountain base you see the arch and some of the walk. Enjoy and take care of it and you

This is without a doubt the best& most amazing place we have ever stayed on our trip to SA. Not only the location , but a beautiful so well appointed apt in every way & the couple that own & run it. Not only providing a glorious cozy apt but helped us plan sights , Resturants , sunsets , hikes for us who have never visited their country…. How lucky were we to find them& we will never forget them or their hospitality.

The location is unbeatable, walking distance to all the amenities and restaurants yet still the apartment and area is very quiet at night. The hosts, Marlize and Andre, were super friendly and went out of their way to give restaurant recommendations, day excursions etc and to make us feel at home. The apartment has all that you need for both a short and longterm stay, with parking right in front of the unit. We had a really lovely stay and would recommend to our family and friends.

No generator for electricity in rooms, but load shedding didn't bother us. Terrific breakfast in cute dining room. Plenty of parking in gated lot. Could walk to downtown area.
