Situated on the banks of Zandvlei and only 200m from the beach, this comfy and colorful apartment boasts privacy, peace and quiet while being located only a short walk across the pedestrian bridge or along the beach to the Muizenberg buzz. Beautiful views of Muizenberg Peak and the vlei complement a newly renovated, separate space located above the main house with private entrance and own garage.

The space
Modern, curated and eclectic open-plan living area includes a lounge, dining area and well-equipped kitchen (full fridge/freezer, gas stove, electric oven, kettle, cutlery, pots and pans, tea, coffee, spices, oils, etc). There is seating for 4 within the dining area, and comfy relax area with sofa and 2 armchairs. Original art by one of the owners adorns the walls throughout the space, making you feel very welcome.

Your own secure garage parking space, with electric door opener, also features a washing machine and hanging rack. There is plenty of space to store surfboards, beach gear, or extra suitcases.

The apartment is reached via a set of stairs alongside the back of the house. A shared outside braai/barbecue area is tucked away from the wind at the back of the house, and features a big table with seating for 6, along with 2 fully equipped BBQs. The perfect place to hang on those long lazy evenings. The property also has a lovely front garden, the perfect spot to watch the sun set over Muizenberg Peak.

Two large bedrooms can accommodate 4 in a selection of comfy beds with hotel-grade linens (1 Queen bed and 2 singles (king bed on request)). The rooms are also equipped with thick curtains to offer coverage from the light. There are two bathrooms both with spacious shower, toilet and basin (no bath). Plenty of wardrobe and storage space in both bedrooms and additional storage space in a separate room in the side hallway. Fast and reliable Wi-Fi (with battery backup for load shedding), TV with media box for Netflix, Showmax, YouTube and board games keep you entertained indoors. All rooms equipped with load-shedding lights for when power is off.

A separate room decicated as an office or workspace has a large table, two chairs and a couch that is ideal for catching up on some work, emails or for a games night. Enjoy the quirky and informative 'Cape Peninsula Map' mural painted by the owner.

Owners Johan and Rob live downstairs in a separate part of the house, with their own private entrance, along with their cats Jupiter and Astro. The apartment has its own entrance and grants guests a complete sense of privacy. The units are separate enough that you do not hear noise from the living quarters downstairs. Owners are delighted to have you stay with them, and are very happy to help with any requests, needs, or wishes.

Depending on length of stay, bi-weekly cleaning and laundry service is available.

When load-shedding does occur (a maximum of 2 hours at a time and you always know in advance when it is due to happen, via an app), there are a wide selection of battery-powered lamps to keep things bright. Wi-Fi runs on battery, so you are never without internet.

Guest access
You have exclusive access to the entire flat, own garage and private entrance. There is also a shared sheltered outside area with braai/barbecue facilities. Guests are always granted preference to use the BBQ, and can do so in private. There is a great sense of privacy and respect throughout the property. The property is also very safe and secure, with gates and secure fencing around it.
