Cape Town is a wonderful city to visit.
Besides Table Mountain with its ever popular appeal and the amazing shopping at the V & A Waterfront, the stunning restaurants, its closeness to the remarkable wine routes and scenery that is breath taking.
It is a truly cosmopolitan city with many languages spoken.
The hotels and facilities are world class.
For the weary traveller who is tired of hotel accommodation and prefers the more self-sufficient holiday in self-catering facilities, a gem that I found is situated in Table View.
It is owned and managed by Cheryl, husband Rusty and house keeper Annette.
And please don't forget the dogs Coco and Lola the labrador.
There are several options available from a two sleeper unit to a ten sleeper house.
And Cheryl and her team are efficient in the back ground making sure that the stay is as pleasant and hassle free as possible.
And of course it is pet friendly, which has become quite an attraction during dog shows time in Cape Town.
Most people are not sure where Table View is in relation to the centre of Cape Town.
It's a mere 17km from the city centre and the V & A Waterfront, not even 2km from the beach at the beautiful Bloubergstrand and less than 10km away from the nearest wine and olive farm.
Of course the Stellenbosch wine area is close by, and as for all the beautiful drives around Table Mountain and Cape Point they are not even an hour's drive away.
Should you consider a break away to Cape Town, and are prepared to hire a car to be truly independent of the normal tourist traps, then you should really consider staying At Cheryl's.
