CAPETOWN GUESTHOUSE

• check the expiration date of your passport and double check the visa requirements!
• make sure your bank let you use your credit cards in South Africa
• please do not forget the downpayment for your stay
• book a  rental car
• book a taxi
• book a seat in the amazing restaurants ahead of your stay!
• if you like read our information folder which we put in the rooms in advance – you will get the short form explained by Ellen at your arrival
• tell us at which time you will arrive to SUNSET LOFT to make sure that we are here to welcome you

There is a Nespresso machine in the kitchen. We highly recommend the capsules from Coco Safar – a place we love! They have their own variety of amazing coffees and the capsules are compostable and biodegradable – good coffee for you plus doing good for the environment. :-) And in case you don’t like capsules, we do have a fabulous “old-fashioned” coffeemaker as well. ;-)

In South Africa you will need a special adapter for your electronic devices. Our rooms in SUNSET LOFT are all equipped with adapters but if you plan to travel around don’t forget to take a plug-in adapter with you!

Don’t forget your thick wetsuit! Even in the summer months from November until March the water around the Cape is freezing cold. ;-)

Everything you need for a hassle free holiday:

Ellen will welcome you and explain everything you need to know in and around the house

• you can park your car outside but don’t leave any valuables in the car
• the small garage is for your sports equipment
• the cushions for the sunbeds are in the box behind the garage
• braai is fun and a South African tradition – help yourself with wood
• we have towels for the room, the garden and the beach
• every room has its space in the fridge and in the shelves
• you will get a remote for the gate and for the alarm

Some more things:
