Our stay in Newlands was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all expectations. The ‘cottage’ is lovely: spacious, light and airy, with comfy beds, a sofa, TV and kitchen area, and all very safe and secure, opening out to a gorgeous little garden terrace. Our host Lalage went above and beyond to look after us; incredibly welcoming, helping us navigate the area and even dropped us at the local pub and to the cricket! Lalage really made our stay feel a ‘home away from home’. Neti the house keeper was lovely too - she cleaned and tidied the room daily and even did our washing and ironing - completely unexpected but so appreciated after two weeks of travelling! The area is easy to get around without a car, via Uber and we thoroughly enjoyed some of the local bars, cafes and restaurants. Incredibly good value for money - and would certainly recommend for anyone staying in Cape Town-the whole of Cape Town is easily accessible with the Waterfront only 20mins away. We hope to return one day in the future! Olivia & Charlie
