Great Camps Bay home
This place is absolutely fantastic. Centrally located and close to the beach, all the restaurants and the grocery store. Very safe house and location. Huge plus for travelers, particularly those without cars. There is a nice, safe place for a vehicle but we just did Ubers. Centrally located to the major sites. Wonderful that all five bedrooms have their own baths pretty much. We loved the pool. Sure helped with achy muscles after doing table mountain. Comfortably decorated. Definitely recommend this house.

Perfect place in Cape Town for a mixed group
We stayed at Shirley's property a week ago in Cape Town. This was the perfect vacation rental for our group. We had 2 couples and 3 singles, so everyone could get their own bathroom (and a convenient powder room by the kitchen). There were also 2 main floor rooms to accommodate my older parents who couldn't handle the stairs. Before our stay, Shirley kindly answered all our questions and helped me feel secure taking everyone there. We had many questions about the load-shedding, so she helped us wrap our heads around it. Her husband met us for check-in, showed us around the property, and helped us set up a CPAP machine for one of our guests on their inverter so that he could use it even while the power was off. There were also many adapters, so we didn't have to worry about buying a bunch. The property was very homey and literally had everything you could need. Tons of cooking things, basics in the fridge, a homemade cake, sun hats, umbrellas, sewing kits, etc. If this is your only stop in Cape Town, you can leave a lot of things at home to save room in your bags. The area was fantastic. Super easy walk to lots of restaurants and the beach right there in Camps Bay. If you're worried about the load-shedding in Cape Town (which was up to 6 hours a day when we were there at the high point of winter). Shirley made sure to text us everyday with the schedule so we could plan around it. There were emergency lights and candles in every room.

Lucky find in Camps Bay
Owners were excellent. We were pleasantly surprised by their housekeeper, Virginia, who kept the house immaculate and even did our laundry. The house was accurately described, very comfortable, very well-equipped and well located and secure. Although our overall rating is excellent there was no central heating so in winter months it is a bit cold. But this one downside is small when compared to the atmosphere and ease of living there for the week we spent.

Our family of 5 stayed with plenty of space. Enjoyed the Camps Bay location being walking distance to restaurants, groceries, and the beach. Appreciated being able to park the car safely behind gate as well. House was clean and had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Thank you Shirley and Keith!

Thank you for your very welcoming stay at your property. 5 minutes walk to the shops and beach, however lounging by the pool and cooking BBQ's made our stay very relaxing. The house was well equipped in every way, from spices in the kitchen to extra pool towels in each bedroom, thank you

Home Sweet Home - Excellent
This property was perfect for our family of 8! Shirley has thought of everything from welcoming messages, some breakfast foods, beach bags ready to go in each room, coffee and tea and a wonderful housekeeper who helped keep us in clean clothes. The location is excellent - mere steps from the beach, restaurants and grocery stores. A very comfortable and welcoming home away from home. LOL...she even had face cloths which no one else seems to offer in SA. Thanks for a great stay! Judy and family

Absolutely wonderful
By far one of the best places we have ever stayed. Shirley's place is in a fantastic location just off the main strip in Camps Bay, so close to the beach and restaurants. The house is such a home from home, everything you could ever need is there, down to a first aid kit, manicure set and reading glasses in each bedroom! The views from the main bedroom are amazing, lions head and the mountain from the balcony! Honestly we couldn't recommend Shirley's place highly enough, it's spotlessly clean and in the perfect spot. Shirley is so great at communicating and really has thought if everything to make your stay comfortable. Fabulous!
