About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Retro Luxe

Take a trip back to the 70s with this very modern, yet very Retro inspired studio. The exterior is certainly a nod to its 1920s heritage, but the inside definitely has a 1970s vibe.

This studio is separate from the main house with private access from the road.

A spacious light-filled space with a comfortable Queen bed and fold out couch for an extra guest and we can also supply a port-a-cot for a little one if required.

A large TV & Kitchenette and modern bathroom.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include an electric kettle, an ironing board, and a desk.

A great place to stay!

The room was clean and has pretty much everything you need. It is close to town and is in a nice quiet location. The hosts left me to my privacy but left me there number if I needed to to communicate with them. I really recommend this place for anyone planning to stay in Papakura
