A stunning 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom self catering villa on Jarvis Street with a plunge pool, 2 sun-decks, alfresco dining area, sea views and an unrestricted view of Table Mountain.
It's in the ideal place for you to experience Cape Town & De Waterkant Village. This house is in a chic, fashionable and historic part of the city where some of the properties date back centuries and have been sensitively restored so that none of the magic is lost.
At night the area is a magnet for Cape Town's trendy set. People spill onto the pavement at Cubana's (attracting the young & hip), Manhattan's, Amsterdam bar & the Cape Quarter for great food. For the night owls there are bars and clubs within walking distance.
During the day there's lots to do: Cape Quarter, Table Mountain, Robben Island & the winelands of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, shopping at the V&A waterfront or spend a day at the beach!
Green Point stadium is a 7 mins walk & Newlands cricket ground and Kirstenbosh gardens a 15 min drive.
How to get there? Cape Town has a great international airport and most of the world's big airlines fly there. For direct flights from the UK, British Airways, South African Airways and Virgin Atlantic have up to two flights a day. Most of the national European carriers also fly direct e.g. KLM and Lufthansa and there are flights from the US with South African Airways. Low cost routes via the Middle East may also be an option.
If you can't get a direct flight then you could fly to Johannesburg and connect with a no frills carrier like Kulula.com or Mango.com to Cape Town.
The house is 20 minutes in a taxi from the airport. Or you can quite easily pick up a rental car at the airport and drive into town. The roads are great and it's a 'drive on the left' like the UK.
Can Airport Transfers be arranged? Yes. Please give me your flight details and we can make arrangements for transfers from the airport and paid for locally directly to the taxi company.
How do I get Keys? My agent will meet you at the house on your date / time of arrival and will also meet you on your departure. Please give us your cell phone number and tell us your arrival time or if you are likely to be delayed.
Is parking available? There is parking directly outside the house. The road is patrolled and is considered a safe area. Just don’t leave things visible in your car for opportunists.
How often is the house cleaned / refreshed? We will service the house every 4/5 days with a fresh supply of bedding and towels. There are cleaning products available should you need to use them. If you would like the help of a cleaner more frequently please speak to my agent on arrival to discuss your requirements.
Is there a welcome pack on arrival? A vase of fresh flowers, a bowl of fruit and a chilled bottle of wine will be our welcoming gift. We will also supply a few basic provisions to get you started.
Would you like a pre arrival food shop? If you give us a list of items a week before you arrive we will shop (subject to availability) on your behalf and have your shopping waiting for you when you arrive at the villa. The receipted cost for this is payable when you arrive with an added service cost of 150 Rands.
Can I have an early check-in or late check out? Yes, we can consider all requests. If the house is vacant the day before or vacant the day after you leave then we are very likely to be able to say 'YES'!
Is internet access available? There is in-house wifi access but limited bandwidth and is subject to it being available. It's offered complimentary and does not form part of the booking contract. There is also a local wireless provider called 'internet hotspot' that you are able to connect to for a small fee per week. My agent can give you details on how to connect. Details are also available within the house guide. Most coffee shops and restaurants also offer this service if you purchase something from them. Café Manahttan offers it complimentary sometimes.
Is there a safety deposit box? Yes. We will give you a code on your arrival. We will not however accept any liability should any items go missing.
Can I smoke in the house? I'm sorry we like to keep the house fresh. However, if you choose to smoke then smoking on the patio is allowed.
Can we hire a local guide to show us Cape Town and the night life? Yes my agent on arrival can make arrangements and discuss cost depending on what you require.
