Owl Cottage is in the middle of a terrace of 4-5 homes. The party walls are not very sound proof. As we were out most of the time this was not an issue for us. The cottage was clean, well serviced and adequately equipped. The verandah is a bit tired and could do with some TLC; raised boards and lights not working. However views are beautiful and as a base for the Cape and surrounding beaches it was perfect for us.
