We had a wonderful stay at Jo & Chris's lovely cottage! It is a beautiful, peaceful place with a lovely view of the garden and the coolest chicken coop ever. There is a pond with a little waterfall just off of the patio that adds to the peaceful ambience. It was delightful having breakfast at the big patio table. Just as other reviews have said, the pictures don't show how nice the place really is. The cottage is spacious and very comfortable, it had everything that we needed for the 2 weeks that we stayed. The kitchen is nicely laid out and spacious. The bathroom is very clean & comfortable with a beautifully tiled shower & good sized bath. Bedrooms are a good size, the master is huge with ample closet space and shelves. The beds were very comfortable. There is an excellent library with a great selection of books in the passage and even some board games & puzzles which we unfortunately didn't have time to put to use. We were visiting in winter and the cottage stayed nice & warm with the lounge wood stove & space heaters in the bedrooms. The location was perfect for us, very central - close to family & friends and also close enough to lovely destinations like Groot Constantia wine farm, Noordhoek and all the lovely spots on the South Peninsula, while still being a nice short drive to the city centre and the V&A Waterfront. There are convenient shops close by, like Constantia Village and a little strip mall with a smaller Woolworths foods and a pizza spot and for late night necessities the nearby Ladies Mile gas station has a mini Woolies foods. The neighbourhood is very nice, it feels safe and has a bit of a countryside feel which I love for holidays. The cottage feels very private without feeling secluded and it felt very safe. The dogs and chickens were lovely to have around and the dogs are very sweet and friendly. But the very best part of our stay was the thoughtfulness of the owners. Jo & Chris set the cottage up so nicely for our 3 & 1/2 year old son to enjoy. There was a chair for him at the coffee table to eat & do activities, there were many lovely age appropriate toys including duplo, trucks and dinosaurs as well as puzzles and crayons and paper to draw on. Not to mention all the lovely books and many South African stories. And then there was the little pedal tractor and the garden toys which he had so much fun playing outside with. On top of all the thoughtful touches for our son, we also got fresh eggs from the chickens, milk and wheat bix when we arrived, delicious rusks from the lovely Plaxie (the housekeeper who looked after us so well) and on cold nights we got to come home to a lit fire warming up the house! It truly felt like a home...
