What a find

Very welcoming owners, sitting down with us for a drink on arrival. Different room types and we were lucky enough to have a self-catering 'apartment' with private garden. A great place to relax with a drink as the sun goes down.

great place to stay just outside Cape Town

Really great place with a lovely pool and very clean. One thing the place needs in the guest house where we were staying was air conditioning as there were only ceiling fans.

Midge, Henley-on-Thames, UK

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

well recommended In lovely surroundings

This very very clean place is run by a young German couple. We stayed in the cottage which was spacious, well equipped, with your own little private garden. The main garden and swimming pool immaculately maintained with loungers, cushions and towels provided. Space to safely park your car and you are provided with a fob t get in and out. A very good breakfast provided, fresh fruit, muesli, toast, jams and then you are offered eggs and bacon. A most enjoyable stay and would well recommend it. The German couple speak perfect English and are very very charming. They also have 4 very gentle and quiet Ridgebacks dogs which I wanted to take home with me.
