I was the first guest to stay in the cottage and needed a place to stay instantly. There was still work to be done with the log burner and Penny without much hesitation offered me a room in her private home to tie me over for one night. I took her up on the offer and she went beyond her duty as a host. A meal was waiting on my arrival and her hospitality was generous, relaxed and warm. Penny is an inspiring woman, felt like I was spending the evening with a good friend, think that says everything about her. It was a privilege to meet her and Tim, her partner.
The cottage is set back off the road and close to the mountain, it's private and I felt safe living there alone. Enjoyed the mountain view from the bedroom window and the sound of the sea I could hear from the comfortable king sized bed. Fire would heat the whole cottage up quickly and was a welcome warm focal point to the room. Tim has designed and produced all the woodwork throughout, contemporary, simple and stylish. I stayed for ten days and borrowed from a friend a DVD player, so all my needs were met. Fully equipped kitchen and a lovely large patio with table and braai in the garden. Penny was quick to respond and accommodated my needs with speed. Enjoyed standing at the top of the drive at night moon and star watching, ADT security passed on a regular circuit, throughout the night, every 5/10 mins. Lovely people, would have extended if there hadn't been another booking. You need a car to stay there. Cottage 5 mins from Noordhoek village which has a deli, shops and restaurants. Wonderful yoga studio 5 mins away. Shopping mall very close by too. Comes highly recommended.
