An absolutely super place - the house is cosy but spacious and so very beautiful. The kitchen is very special and everything in the house is absolutely top notch. The beds (well the one we used) are comfortable and the showers good to, but it is having such an amazing house in such a great location that really sets this wonderful cottage apart - walk straight out of the house and you are in the vineyards which you are free to walk around and you are a few minutes walk from all that Groot Constatantia has to offer, which is nice if you fancy a bite or drink without making the effort to go anywhere. However tempting it is to stay put it is worth making the effort to go to some of the amazing vineyards and restaurants on your doorstep (and Cape Town a short drive away) - and yes you can get an Uber if you want. However also make sure you make time to stay in - and if it is cool enough first sit and enjoy the beautiful views in the gardens then chill in front of a roaring fire - it is very special.
We got such a warm welcome from Lucia's parents and Lucia had kindly left is some food and drink to get us started. Rafiki the very friendly German Shepherd was wonderful- there is a lead in the cottage so you can take him on your walks (if you wish) and he was a delight to have along (he came on our first walk without the lead - but don't worry - he finds his own way home) - but if you would rather not just let them know and he won't bother you - (of course, we loved him). Don't hesitate you won't regret it - we really can't wait to return.
Thanks you all for an amazing stay.
