BnB’s supply a Bed and a Breakfast and Brookdale did just that and much more . Room 1 was a lovely comfortable room with its own entrance and leading out onto the lawn and pool . The guesthouse supplies beach towels for your convenience. The room has a safe ( FOC) a hairdryer and plug adapter. There is a small book swop in the dining room. WiFi is very good for what I needed . There is a tV . I found a film channel. The aircon was a wonderful treat . The bathroom was so clean and shower gel and moisturiser was supplied. Breakfast was served in the dining room between 6-9am however the owner is Flexible if you are booked on any trips and will fit in with your timings . The breakfast is made to order and is waiter service ( rather than a breakfast buffet) The fresh fruit salad is delicious and I loved the coffee . Excellent way to start your day. Pinelands is a nice suburb, with a golf course and shopping Mall . It is a very safe area with Neighbourhood Watch patrolling . It is 15 mins from the airport and about 20 mins into Waterfront in Cape Town . It is slightly out of the way but it’s such a beautiful safe area . Hiring a car is a good idea . Taxi’s or Uber will get you into town for about £13 each way. A walk to the Howard Mall takes about 10mins . There is a supermarket, Woolworths ( I thought they had gone bust !) hairdressers, nail bar , Wimpy, McDonald’s, KFC and a wonderful Vegetarian Noodle Restaurant. Banks and cash points The BnB is kept Immaculately clean and tidy It is safe and secure ( I am a 55 year old female solo traveler) I would highly recommend Brookdale Guesthouse as a base to explore Cape Town and it’s fantastic beaches . Camps Bay was my favourite
