We stayed at this flat for one month and found it just as pictured, with Helena and Jamie being quite attentive hosts. The cottage was cozy and had had pretty much everything we needed. We cooked often and could have used another pot and a couple more utensils, but again -- we cooked often and stayed for one month, which might not be usual for guests at this cottage.

We enjoyed waking up to the view of the lush backyard and the sound of the birds. It was really windy when we stayed there, and at night the tree branches often brushed against the roof. We got used to it after a couple days but a very light sleeper might find this sleep-depriving.

Our MTN cellphone connections were terrible in the cottage, so we often had to stand in the yard to make calls. This is in no way the fault of Helena and Jamie but something to be aware of if you stay here.

We highly recommend The Real Bread Company on Palmer Road for the best fresh-baked bread in Muizenberg!
