Eclectic Designer Retreat with En-Suite

Shaun is a very welcoming person, and tries hard to make you feel comfortable. This includes introducing and inviting to gather with his friends at home and out, but at the same time appreciate if you like to do "your own thing - on your own". In general, very warm and openminded.

Q : What happens when a Corporate, 50-something Brit squares up to a Creative, 30-something South African ? A : A wonderful smorgasbord of dynamic conversation emerges, fuelled by mutual curiosity, the learnings from life’s experiences, a willingness to share and an openness to challenge. From the off, Shaun creates an environment that is relaxed and grounded. He’s a terrific ‘Ambivert’ - confident, straight-talking, quirky, animated and highly intelligent on the one hand ; on the other, reflective, considered, thoughtful and endearingly vulnerable. Whatever, his welcome is warm & authentic, his engagement, strong, consistent and generous. The accommodation is spot on - clean, bright, very comfortable and nicely independent. The views from the Terrace inspire. I loved that I had my own space and wasn’t under Shaun’s feet. Equally, it was great to chill with him and make sense of the world over a glass of wine. And I so appreciated a home cooked pasta dish which was delicious. Salt River/Woodstock is very much a ‘local’ area. Cafes & shops are a couple of minutes walk away. Beyond this, the Waterfront is less than 10 minutes by car or MyCiti bus and the major arterials taking you North and East are equally accessible. All in all, this listing - with it’s proud Capetonian Host - represents terrific value for money and ticks very many boxes.
