A Place in Thyme

Our stay at A Place in Thyme was splendid. Fish Hoek was a lovely serene town, perfect for accessing beaches and nearby Simonstown (Boulders Beach) and easy access to the city by car or train. The studio room was clean and tidy and had everything we needed with an amazing view. Linda was a fantastic host and took care to ensure we had everything we needed. Even during loadshedding we had access to wifi, TV (and Netflix), a portable stove and hot water for shower. Would highly recommend for a cost effective stay seeing beautiful Cape Town.

I liked everything about the stay, I would like to ad that the advertising about the place can be confusing … I thought I booked the 2 bedroom with a pool and a washing machine…only to find out it was a studio and no , pool and no washing Massine …although our host invited us to sim when the other tenants are gone … and also we were told at check in that we should not watch the Yvonne, too loud , talk too loud , , we could not open the windows because he said birds will fly in , so in the end , because he said the door in our apartment opens into the apartment next door .. So u can imagine now we were more afraid to even talk , cause they will most probably hear all we say and do … it became walking on toes and talking softly and not watching to . It became not enjoyable… But our host key in communication through WhatsApp, but we thought if we discussed all this we might argue and it will bring tension… So I found a solution to our tension … I checked out a day earlier , and found a new Hotel where we could be free , but still obey the rules of the hotel and enjoy our holiday and our stay

Friendly host and lovely clean room. Views are amazing. The sleeper couch a tad small but otherwise comfortable

Property was perfectly situated to give a full view of Fish Hoek and the surrounding area. Precence of a funicular made getting luggage into and out of the property much easier as on quite a steep incline. The property was in a very good condition with our hosts being extremely friendly and accommodating.

Linda our host was great, checking on us via whatsapp! "Small Thyme" may be a one roomed apartment, but it felt extremely spacious. Lovely comfy bed; kitchen facility perfect size and well equipped; lounge area plenty big enough for a couple. Bathroom with a bath(!) and over bath shower, all clean and neat. Not far from Fish Hoek beach, shops and eating places. We would definitely go there again. Our only problem was the neighbours waking us up far far too early and talking loudly, each of the four mornings we were there! That wasn't our hosts fault, but she did kindly warn us that they'd be leaving 3AM!!! Night views over Fish Hoek very pretty, although one had to stand at the window to see, as the apartment was on the hillside above another home. A lovely place to call base close to all the southern Cape Peninsula beaches and beauty spots.
