Our family have just returned from Cape Town and we were lucky enough to have chosen De Molen guest house as our accommodation. It’s difficult to know where to start!, De Molen is a stunning residence in a great location, our three bedrooms were very spacious and comfortable, all with balconies, stunning views and a real rustic charm. The hosts Christy, Joris and their team were very warm and welcoming and went out of there way to ensure we had a wonderful holiday. Christy was very helpful and informative and a super host. We cannot recommend this place highly enough, a real Gem!. We will be back!! 🇿🇦🇬🇧
