With this extraordinary position comes the presence of nature — including native insects and arthropods that are typical of both beachside and mountain environments. The home is professionally fumigated on a regular basis and cleaned thoroughly between each stay. However, Cape Town’s weather can shift rapidly — especially during seasonal transitions — from hot to cold and back again. During these periods, guests may occasionally encounter hardy coastal crawlers that are naturally drawn to sheltered spaces. An insect spray is provided for your convenience. Should you notice anything unusual during your stay, I’m happy to send my cleaning team to assist. To help maintain a fresh, pest-free environment, storing food in airtight containers or in the fridge is highly recommended. ✖️ Cape Town is a malaria-free area; however, various insects and arthropods may be encountered. An aerosol insecticide is provided for your convenience. ⸻ ★ Non-refundable By proceeding, you accept these conditions and acknowledge that bookings are non-refundable due to the reduced price. ⸻ ⚠️ Important Notice (April 1 2025): December January February is holidays work will commence again 1st March 2026 ✔️ 🏗️ Renovation Alert: The building will undergo renovations during this period. ✔️ Construction noise and workers will be present from 8 AM - 5 PM (Mon-Fri) ✖️ No work on weekends ✔️ Out of season rate (May to September) a Discounted Rate is provided due to renovations (70 % discount offered from standard market value) ✔️ Please Note: Due to construction, the building’s lift may occasionally be out of order.
