Guest comments
I really liked this apartment, it was so comfortable, quiet and convenient to get everywhere without the need for a car. Annabelle Reverdy, Paris.
Just what I wanted, a really attractive lock up and go apartment as a base for exploring Cape Town. Sue McWilliam, Cumbria.
What a result! Had everything I needed and was nice and airy. Couldn't ask for a better position either, close to everything and a pool too. I'll be back for the World Cup. Steven Lewis, Melton Mowbray.

About the owner
I came on holiday to Cape Town 16 years ago and loved it so much I stayed. I am a travel writer, specialising in Southern Africa and have written six travel books and hundreds of travel articles (google my name "Carrie Hampton"). You can even request a signed copy of my lovely book, 'Table Mountain to Cape Point'. But more importantly as far as your holiday is concerned, I am a Grading Assessor for the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa, ie I'm the person who inspects accommodation for their stars, so you can rest assured you will be comfortable in my place. All you have to do is relax and enjoy your stay. Best wishes, Carrie Hampton.
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
I knew as soon as I walked into this apartment that it was 'the one'. You know what I mean? You look at lots and then find the one that speaks to you. I hope you feel the same way, I think you will. The location is exactly right for a city pad and because it is surrounded by trees and gardens, city noises are muffled and it is remarkably quiet. It's a place with palpable history; The Company Gardens were created in mid 1600's when the colonists first arrived and many historic buildings are in this street. It's the proximity to everything that Cape Town has to offer that made it even more right. It's a small city, and safe too, and it's a joy to walk around it.
Unique benefits of the property
So why should you stay here? There are lots of other places (I know, because I star grade them every day). But my Studio Martini apartment in Cape Town is best value for best position and my Waterside Cottage in Muizenberg is quite simply, the same. Come and see for yourself and if you are anything like me, you'll get hooked on Cape Town and end up buying a place just like mine. You never know, it might just happen! I wish you a great holiday. Carrie Hampton.
