This place would be great for a couple looking for reasonable accommodation between Cape Town and Stellenbosch, but we have to give a mixed review. Technically, it is "as advertised"- it is lovely, the pictures do capture it at it's best. It does have beautiful views of the golf course. Very nice views out the back from the "living room/second bedroom." That's where my review becomes a bit mixed.

This is NOT a two bedroom. The second bedroom is the living room (we knew this prior to arrival); however the "beds" are NOT beds nor are they full couches- my adult daughter found sleeping on one to be quite uncomfortable. They are really narrow cots that you can put next to each other- and even then she said sometimes they would separate when she rolled over in her sleep-- waking her up. There is visual privacy- but lovely large sliding doors don't close the gap between the hallway and the sliding glass doors- though a blind provides some visual privacy. I would say this is more appropriate if you are traveling with younger children; for an adult the bed was inadequate. Note: my daughter is usually quite happy on a futon so she's not that fussy. I recommend Marieta improve this by adding a more comfortable day bed or futon rather than the stacked cots that are in there now.

The second mixed review is that as lovely as the back of the home is, the master overlooks a busy road with lots of road noise. It was OK at night, except one night there was some sort of very loud party across the street that went on quite late....lots of bass beat to keep one awake. It was only one night, but be aware, there is something across the street that attracts the local youth. In addition, the view from the master is of a gas station. Quite a contrast to the rear of the property. Just an FYI. We did sleep fairly well most nights (in the master).

Bathroom is beautiful but step down shower/bath can be slippery. Not recommended for the unsteady of foot.

Marieta has two adorable, friendly small dogs, they greet you enthusiastically and are quiet at night.

Don't expect wi-fi-- and to be fair that isn't in the listing. She did give us her password, but it seemed a problem when asked and then it didn't work, anyway. So if you must have internet, book elsewhere. Lesson learned on my part to verify that a space has wi-fi access.

I would not try to cook here- the sink is a bar sink and not physically near the equally tiny cooktop. Fortunately, I had no intentions of cooking, anyway so was quite happy with this state of affairs. The good news is that the restaurant "Arugula" is across the street- an easy quick walk and has amazing food, including breakfast. Yum. And they have wi-fi. :-)
