The mother/ Porsche/ Big Mac of all lodges...
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/22/07
I have spend the first night in Cape Town at the elements in one of the nice apartments which is so modern but yet with style and love furnished and painted (it has its own kitchen and sofa and television). The house and the garden itself lives up to that standard. The pool is of good size and there are many possibilities to chill out, be it on a ordinary chair, a deck-chair or even just on the grass with a towel. There is also a big barbecue adjacent to the pool. The common area (open kitchen, living room....) are functional, modern and clean as the rest of the house. There is internet access. I deem the area where the elements is situated to be very safe and the view, as the area "table view" might suggest, is extraordinary nice towards (guess...) table mountain. Since we traveled for 10 days as far as Port Elizabeth and back, I saw everyday some other backpackers/lodges. Concerning house and hosts (Esther, Remo and Tequilla(the always so friendly dog)), elements is second to none. I would recommend this lodge without any hesitation!! Needless to say in which backpackers/lodge we spend the last night back in Cape Town.
