This Marina Da Gama self-catering accommodation is peaceful. You can even say your "own piece of heaven" or is it peace of heaven? The chairman of the enclosed lake development was sitting on the deck with friends when they said “Yes, now I can understand your move to the Marina, where else can you have what you’ve got here…your own piece of heaven!” This Muizenberg self catering accommodation is amongst these white walled homes - like Greece. But this one is enclosed, private and on the water. Right there. The chairman said, "the geese arrive at your doorstep showing off their young. Our Mr Bles (the coot) is chasing the ducks with greater vigour and we notice that Arthur and Martha (the Crested Grebes) are back doing their complicated mating dance up and down the canal. This is not just another self catering home. You are near the Muizenberg beaches, close to Cape Town but who wants to go anywhere if you stay at this three bedroom home. As you walk through the high walled gate you enter the garden with inviting pool and grass lawn. The house is built in an L shape. On the left is the double garage, followed by the three rooms and three bathrooms - one en-suite. The main bedroom leads out on the garden. In the L's corner is the lovely kitchen. Around the L's corner you get the dinning area. Now you can choose to walk out onto the deck next to (on top of) the lake or to the lounge area. You get two outside entertainment areas; one next to the pool and one onto the lake. The lake deck is where the "piece (peace) of heaven" exists. Quietly you can watch the birds or you get into the pedal boat and off you go. If this is not a family paradise then I don't know.... You are your party have access to this private home and it's lockable garage. You don't share with anyone. The lake is obviously not yours alone. You can make contact with us when you need to . We are there to make your stay a pleasure. The neighborhood consists of similar houses all along the lakes. Some are on the water like this one. Others not. These homes are loved by families with kids due to all the water activities. There are also some homes with retired people. The community is very conscious of nature and especially water and the birds flocking to water. A car is important. You can use taxis to get to the nearest station in Muizenberg. Cape Town is 20 to 25 mins aways. All the Constantia wine farms are just around the corner and Muizenberg 10 mins away. There's WiFi on request. Hairdryer on request.
