“The Tamboerskloof address sets a refined tone; it's a lovely house where Victorian features meet modern design. What stands out is its position, within walking distance of Cape Town's attractions, and Amy's dedicated care to make guests feel welcome.
This feels like a true find in the Mother City.”
