We loved our stay in Sunbird Cottage. Direct access to the vineyard was a real bonus and the swimming pool and garden area are really well maintained. Location is perfect for exploring - particularly the Constantia vineyards. The cottage is well maintained and decorated but retains original features. We would definitely return.
Beautiful setting with a lovely garden. The pool was immaculately kept by the Gardner.Some aspects regarding the property were not up to scratch. Initially no heating available and we shivered in the evening for three days, the sealant around the kitchen worktop was black, there was a dreadful smell from the soil pipe connecting the washing machine and the hot water was set at a dangerous level but these issues were addressed by the host after our conversation with her. However a very wonky chest of drawers remained so. One does not get a second chance to make an impression and small issues like the clock in the kitchen with a run down battery not working and the connection lever on the window in the bedroom hanging off, the plug stopper not attached to the sink and old black marks around the base of the shower show a lack of attention to detail and let the appeal of the property down.
