Kensington Views
17 Kensington Crescent Gardens, Gardens, 8001 Cape Town, South Africa – Excellent location - show map
Wonderful place to stay in Cape Town. Lovely welcoming people. Much bigger than we expected and the pool area was lovely and private. We would have liked to stay longer. We felt safe walking around the neighbourhood. We used the city sightseeing hop on hop off bus, about 15 mins walk away (downhill). Ubers are very cheap to come back in the evening. We also walked up Lions Head from the house. It took 2 hours to the top and was the highlight of our trip.
