⚠️ Please Note



- Our home is set on the edge of a beautiful wildlife reserve, so you may occasionally spot some of the local visitors — including baboons who wander down from the mountain. They’re curious, not dangerous, and will happily move along if left undisturbed. We’re fortunate to have a fantastic baboon ranger team who walks with them guides them back up the mountain. For your comfort, we simply recommend keeping doors and windows closed when you’re not in the room or house, and avoiding interaction with them.

- Not suitable for children under 12 due to open windows

- Quiet neighbourhood: no loud music after 10pm (weekends) / 9pm (weeknights).

- the outdoor bath has hot water but it not a traditional hot tub / jacuzzi and is not wood fired. It's got hot water coming out the taps. Big enough for 2
