On the recommendation of a work colleague I spent two weeks with a friend here in Dec 2009. It came highly recommended,and this was fully justified.The accommodation is located in an area of Cape Town called The Gardens. There are fantastic views of Table Mountain from the road in which the guest house lies. The area is discretely but reassuringly well patrolled by Security,and we never once felt unsafe strolling about late into the evening. The guest house was very tranquil and relaxing, yet you are within walking distance of the splendid Government Gardens or the buzzing nightlife of Long Street with its great live bands.The owners Trevor and Liz are absolutely fantastic hosts,and we felt like we were staying with family rather than business people. Breakfast was served in the garden and was a mountain of home made freshly prepared food- traditional and exotic fruits,muesli,bread rolls, yoghurts and juices. They were very attentive without ever being intrusive ,and were very knowledgable about the city they so clearly adore and are so proud of.The owners obviously get enormous satisfaction from seeing their guests have a good time,and this is reflected in their warmth and delight when they hear of the many good days you have had. As well as the many fantastic attractions on the doorstep,they're also happy for you to mooch around the garden to chill and enjoy the sunshine and seem genuinely happy to socialise with you at these times also.In summary there's not one negative thing to say about this place- it's absolutely fantastic.
