    "Glenlin accommodation was beautiful and clean with spectacular views. It really is a home away from home. Close to the towns and UBER is available in the area if needed. We will definitely be back and can recommend it to anyone looking for some quite time, or wandering the streets of the nearby towns. Everywhere you go you will always be surrounded by beautiful views of the ocean and mountains."

  • "Relaxing like at home"

    08 March 2018

    "We stayed here for a week and enjoyed it very much. The appartment was very charming and well equipped. The appartment has a wonderful view. The fully opening living-room windows are great! The appartment has on-street-parking and can only reached via many steps as known! This was not a weakness for us."

    05 May 2015

    "GlenLin was a wonderful surprise! I had already a very good impression when looking at the pictures but I found even a better place. Super spacious, comfortable and fully equipped apartment with wonderful sea views from inside and outside with outside terrace on 3 levels! <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Laura was a great host and quick in advising where to shop and where to go. The house is full of information on what to do in Cape Town. Price unbeatable! Highly recommended.</span>"

  • "Julian Drew, Johannesburg, South Africa"

    13 January 2014

    "This is a superb base for any holiday in the Cape Peninsula. It is ideally located close to Boulders Beach (the best swimming beach for children with the added bonus of penguins!) and Kalk Bay which is the quaintest, chicest place in Cape Town with great restaurants and wonderful shops. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable, elegantly decorated and it lacks for nothing due to the attention to detail of Blair and Laura. In addition Blair can provide advice on what to do and where to go as he is a qualified tour guide! I would strongly recommend GlenLin to any couple or family looking for a relaxing holiday in the Cape."

  • "A little gem"

    27 April 2013

    "A well designed, equipped and managed property. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable, literally a home from home, just provide your own food. Situated in a central and beautiful position with spectacular ever changing views of the bay and mountains, the garden also provides space for relaxing and entertaining. It is discreetly and effectively serviced, all carried out promptly with the minimum of disruption. Access to both the house and garden is via steep steps and the parking is on street. However this is definitely one to return to; exceptional quality and value all provided with a warm welcome."

    22 January 2012

    "Excellent accommodation, well furnished, well equipped, lovely personal touches by hosts Laura and Blair. Great positon, lovely view. Hope to return soon. Definitely needs a shade cover on the balcony, cannot sit there before 3.30 pm. Needs swivel shower heads and you cannot lean over the bathroom wash basins without banging your nose on the water spout. It is too long. Otherwise we loved it!"

  • "Awesome!"

    16 July 2011

    "We had a lovely time at GlenLin. Laura and Blair's apartment is fantastic and neat. They really made our stay there a wonderful experience. Thanks a lot. We would love to come and visit again. The only thing that had me worried during our stay at GlenLin was the fact that I had to park the car I rented in the street. Luckily everything was fine but I would have slept much better knowing that the car was in a garage. Coming from Gauteng, we are fairly negative about crime."
