Where do I start. 👌🏼
My husband and I have been traveling internationally for a year. And Meerendal cottage is one of the loveliest places we’ve stayed in with attention detail that wouldn’t go amiss in a top hotel.
Hazel and Christo’s place is top notch. Correspondence and early comms were quick and easy. Despite being caught up in the uncertainty of Covid19, check in was easy with care taken about social distancing, face masks and gloves by our hosts.
One can really see the care and attention that has gone into setting up the space. It’s beautiful, and luxurious but also practical. Things like - extra tea towels, dishcloths, pegs, wash basins, laundry baskets, good appliances, beautiful crisp linen, pool loungers and even a hand blender, all made a full month’s stay very comfortable.
My husband was super impressed with the extras like tea, coffee, milk, herbs, spices and even oil, for use by guests. And his favorite was the sqeegi in the shower. The outside BBQ area was lovely and garden was well tended.
From a location point of view, and as fellow Captonians ourselves, Edgemead is a super convenient location. The highway is a 3 minute drive- giving access to the waterfront, Bloubergstrand, and Paarl in around 20 minutes. The Durbanville wine and restaurant route (when it’s reopened) as well as Century city, the largest retail precinct in the Cape, are both less than 10 minutes away.
We loved Meerendal cottage. Thank you Hazel and Christo.
