This is a big, old house in a leafy and posh suburb of CT. The suburb of Constantia is quiet and great for seeing a lot of leafy streets and greens, as well as being close to some wine tasting places and Groot Constantia etc. But it is not a nice walking place (narrow roads, no walking paths), so you need a car to get around. There is secure parking in the garage or inside the gate. Overall the place felt really safe, and it is one of the few houses in SA I have seen that do not have robber grills on the windows.
It is a big house and we enjoyed our stay. It is fairly comfortable, with a well stocked up kitchen made for cooking:)
The lounge is spacious and the fireplace worked really well. The bedrooms were of different sizes, two big ones, and two smaller ones, and a separate flatelet/studio. The bed in the master bedroom is comfortable.
The house is also old, historical in architectural terms, and the age shows on the creaky floorboards, which were also quite slippery after cleaning. Outdooor areas do feel a bit dated, but they are comfortable enough, and the garden lawn is great for hanging out and playing, whist the pool looked really good.
This is a great base from which to explore the southern end of CT and all the 'hooks', Muzienberg, Stellenbosch, etc.
Overall, this is a great place for a larger group of people and is comfortable enough to spend a long holiday in. The house manager, Memory, was very helpful and his team are an asset to this property.
