Peaceful, light-filled studio in Lakeside, next to the vlei and nature reserve. Wake to birdsong, walk to shops, the train, or the beach. Ideal for nature lovers, birdwatchers, or anyone seeking a calm, convenient base near Muizenberg and Cape Town. It's located in a quiet, safe cul-de-sac with street parking. Step out the gate and straight into the reserve, with beautiful views of Table Mountain and plenty of birdlife. Inside, there’s a queen-sized bed, sofa, en-suite bathroom, Wi-Fi, and a private patio with table and chairs. You’ll also find a fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, crockery, and complimentary tea, coffee, butter, and homemade marmalade. No kitchen, just basic, light self-catering facilities. Not suitable for meal preparation. The train station is a couple of minutes' walk away and offers a safe, regular service to Cape Town and Fishhoek (a lovely, scenic ride along the False Bay coastline). Simple, clean, and welcoming budget-friendly accommodation.

The studio is an independent flat on the property of my mum, Helen, and step-dad, Barry — they’re friendly and happy to help, but will give you full privacy. Barry knows the local birds and hikes, and I’m a tour guide who can help you plan tailor-made Cape Town tours. I live and work close by, in Lakeside, so I am usually available.

The apartment is a short walk to the train station, Pick n Pay, Woolworths, Organic Zone, and the laundry. The local pub, The Toad in the Road, serves great pizza and shows all the big matches. You can walk along the vlei to Muizenberg Beach in about 40 minutes or drive there in 10. Lakeside is a great central location- 25km from the city centre to the north and False Bay and the southern peninsula to the south. If you enjoy hiking or rock climbing, there are plenty of great spots nearby.
