We had such a lovely stay at Shirley’s River Cottage. The place is literally a peaceful walk in nature and a resourcing experience in itself. Shirley has been a wonderful host to us and it was a pleasure to meet her.
We were also very happy to greet our dear friend Cloe the Ridgeback every morning.

The 2-bedroom apartment overlooking the gardens, mountains and forest, with the very relaxing water stream was comfortable and very peaceful.

Just a few tips:
In winter, bring “very” warm clothes as it gets cold in the house.
When ordering an uber (which is very practical and very accessible in Cape Town) put in 25 Rhodes drive.

We totally recommend this place and will definitely come back again in summer.
