Lyndsey booked a room at a stunning villa in Camps Bay for over R1.8K/$100. The woman tried to contact her agent with no luck.
She invited herself into the massive unlocked house after her Uber driver warned her not to. The place was oddly quiet and had no furniture.
Lyndsey assured her followers that she was okay after reading a thread of messages where Mzansi expressed their concerns.

“The fact that you were brave enough to go in and he wasn't!”
