距离Kloof街仅几步之遥的维多利亚魅力
Take morning coffee in a sun-dappled courtyard among pots and eclectic ornaments. African arts such as beaded animal sculptures, masks, dolls, and other well-placed treasures blend with Scandinavian simplicity to create a real home feel. Being an old house, built in 1900 with later add-ons, it has a lot of charm and personality, which includes somewhat unusual architectural solutions.... Guests should be aware that the two downstairs bedrooms and bathroom are next to each other, so to get from the first bedroom to the bathroom you must pass through the second bedroom.
Welcome to our Cape Town home, which we hope you will enjoy as much as we do! If you are interested in arts, crafts, and handmade products we hope and think that our home can be of inspiration. The interior of our Victorian cottage has an overall idea: To engage local and African crafters, adding some Scandinavian design where suitable - and always with a smile. Our home is constantly a "work in process" zone, but still comfortable and a typical "lock up and go" place.
As our guest you are invited to enjoy the entire house. We may not have the biggest home for rental, but you can easily sleep 7 people here. (there is also an extra mattress available, so 8 people is also fine)
Most probably you will not meet me in person during your stay - instead you will meet Chris, my co-host and good friend. Chris will be your contact person, and I am also always available via email and phone.
Walking distance from trendy Kloof Street, the neighborhood is still quiet and friendly. Shops, museums, galleries, bars, restaurants, and even Lion's Head mountain are all within reach on foot. Clifton and Camps Bay beaches are just a short drive.
Cape Town's MyBus public transport is 3 minutes away, connecting you to the rest of the city. We find Uber the best way to get around in the city, if not walking.
Our house dates from 1900 and heritage protected. It is a 'living' house, in the sense that the floors are skew, there will always be new cracks etc. We do maintenance work every year, but it will never be perfect. And this is why we love the house so much, I guess: Perfect, because it is imperfect. During summer heat waves the upstairs room can be a challenge to sleep in, but the newly installed aircon has solved this issue almost entirely... We are also working on additional features to get better air circulation upstairs, but due to heritage laws it takes some time to implement the changes....but they will surely come!
