Our home is situated in a quiet area on the peninsula. We are a 5 minute walk from the beach, and a 10 minute drive from the famous Muizenberg Beach Surfers Corner. Our neighborhood is safe, peaceful and full of nature. Walking within the neighborhood you will come across peacocks, squirrels, many kinds of birds and even sometimes porcupines (at night). We live close to a Wetland area, and you will see locals walking there dogs. The people are very friendly :)
There is a touristy area nearby that has many interesting shops, cafes and restaurants. We are also walking distance from a beautiful golf course.
The house itself is situated in the valley of a mountain, with easy access to hiking trails. We have a big wrap around garden, with a fire pit and hammock. There are many birds, lizards etc. in the garden. It is a four bedroom house. Two are used as bedrooms currently. One for my partner and I, and the other for our housemate, Andrew. We are all vegan. The other two rooms are currently used as studies, but I will convert one into a bedroom for your stay. It has a view of the garden and mountain, and gets morning sun.
