Light & Shade: Western Cape

Modern and conveniently located, for a relaxing stay in Cape Town, this family home is just the ticket. When it comes to sleeping arrangements, there’s a ground-floor bedroom with an en-suite – ideal for those who struggle with the stairs – and it’s worth noting that at full occupancy, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed. Outside, the plunge pool is just enough for cooling off on hot days but if you want to have a proper swim, Milton Beach is within walking distance of your doorstep.

Home truths:
*There’s on-site parking here if you’ll be hiring a car
*The plunge pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
*There are twenty stairs to climb at this home
*For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
