    It is such a lovely place in a kind of an oasis right in the middle of Muizenberg. You just enjoy being in that lovely garden and the beach is only a few steps away.

The Amberley Annex
The Amberley Annex is a self-contained apartment, hidden away at the foot of the mountain, within walking distance from the famous Surfers’ Corner & a mere 70 m from Muizenberg station. The Annex is entirely separate from the main house, a beaut built in 1897. A lush garden hides the property away - it feels like you're stepping into a secret hideaway! It's truly the best of both worlds, peace and quiet on the inside, with surf and sun just beyond. The sunny open-plan space has it's own has a luxurious double bed, separate bathroom with shower, uncapped broadband WiFi (10 Mbps) & private, sunny wooden deck. The kitchenette has a fridge,microwave,electric frying pan,kettle & toaster.There is a coffee plunger - enjoy a perfect cup of coffee with home made rusks on the deck !Guests can use of the outside shower & washing line. The folding doors open completely which makes it perfect to relax on the newly built wooden deck. We will provide guests with wood for their first barbeque! We're at the end of a cul-de-sac, a short walk from the end of the road. Only street parking is available. The property is fitted with an early detection alarm.
Happily married, 50 something mom of 3, florist, baker and ex maths teacher of Pretoria. We have moved to Muizenberg after a lifetime in the capital city. It has been a life changing experience. I love my new, lighter life which is so different from Pretoria!I am still amazed at the beauty all around me every day. I love long walks on the beach or to Kalkbay, hopping on the train and crocheting in quaint coffee shops! I am somewhat of a crochet addict and started The Muizenberg Craft Share Group. Our get togethers at a local coffee shop is a highlight for me and helped me to make new friends and get involved in community projects.
From Muizenberg, take a scenic train ride to CT in the one direction, or quaint Simon's Town in the other. Hike up the Muizenberg mountain (and explore the plateau - there's some amazing trail running to be done here!), walk to artsy Kalk Bay along the Cat Walk with the ocean right next to you, or head for a surf and long amble down the seemingly endless beach. There are also yoga classes and surfing classes available around town. Muizenberg also has a thriving local artist community, be sure to amble through the Old Village district. There are lots of restaurants, coffee shops and bars to try out. Walking around Muizenberg is easy, or hop on a train (we can give you advice in terms of safety and routes). Uber and Taxify also offer taxi services in the area.
