About the host
Hosted by Corné Gibbens
We lived in Hamburg for seven years and when my husband retired from corporate life, we moved to Cape Town. Initially living in the suburbs but later we decided to move to the best move of our lives. Spectacular vistas, fresh air and beautiful sandy beaches where we take our daily exercise
Why they chose this property
The Cottage is luxurious, spacious and well appointed. Recently renovated, it now offers two bedrooms each with a full bathroom. A lounge area for relaxing sundowners.
What makes this property unique
Spectacular vistas of evening sunsets. Two min stroll down a sandy path to the beach. 3 quaint restaurants within walking distance and Cape Town City is only 25 min drive from the Cottage
