The sleek, white kitchen, crisp linens, and soft grey decor create a bright, airy, and calming space. Important Note: I HAVE NO WATER RESTRICTIONS. Cape Town is currently experiencing the worst drought in 100 years due to significantly low average rainfall, and has imposed strict level 6b water restrictions. • Showers must be between 1 - 2 min. • Total water consumption per person: 50 liters per person per day. • Only flush toilets if absolutely necessary. —-> Oh So Heavenly GuestSuite is unique in that it has it's own independent water source fed from the Table Mountain Aquifer. —-> I have no water restrictions. Enjoy your stay. The Oh So Heavenly GuestSuite has been meticulously designed and decorated by a sought after interior decorator, with attention to each and every detail. The space feels like a high end hotel suite, with the convenience of being able to self cater at your leisure. All the finishes are brand new and of a high caliber that will suite guests from international destinations. The queen size bed has a super comfy memory foam topper wrapped in 400 thread count linen that will facilitate a delightful nights rest putting you in the best possible frame of mind to soak up what our stunning city has to offer.

The bar fridge has a few bottles of complementary South African wine for your enjoyment. The balcony has two chairs and an umbrella for relaxing before the day begins, alternatively enjoy a delightful sundowner after you return from a day on the beach or a productive shopping. spree. With the iconic Table Mountain as its backdrop the Oh So Heavenly GuestSuite is perfectly situated to optimize the nature experiences which Table Mountain National Park has to offer, as well as the city experience including night clubs and dozens of restaurants catering to every conceivable pallet. The absolute best of both worlds in convenient close proximity. Camps Bay and Clifton beaches are a short 10 minute Uber ride away. The entire GuestSuite and balcony area. If guests request access into the garden, I supply them with a key to gain access. I really enjoy meeting new guests from around the world. Once I’ve introduced myself, I prefer to disappear in the background until my guests may need me for any assistance. High up on the slopes of Table Mountain, the suburb of Oranjezicht keeps watch over the bustling city below. Admire the breathtaking backdrop of Table Mountain National Park or head into the city for world-class shopping and dining for all tastes. A short walk of 5 minutes and you're in the Table Mountain National Park, surrounded by wild protea's and feinbos. A 10 min walk, and you're in the Company Gardens soaking up what this special city has culturally to offer. Uber is readily available. When you’re at Oh So Heavenly, I will always try my best to assist with anything my guests may require. My AirBnB is a hobby I really enjoy.
