Lauren made us feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble for her in helping us set up for our week-long stay. Most important for any stay in South Africa, we immediately felt very safe, as the home is fitted with an excellent and easy to use security system. We found that there was sufficient secure parking for 3 cars inside the enclosed garden. Once inside the house, we were impressed by the spacious open plan living area, which was pleasantly equipped with modern furniture and appliances. The kitchen was fully equipped with all we needed for daily self-catered living, and there was a lovely modern portable BBQ in the very private garden. We really enjoyed sitting outside on the deck in the evenings, indulging in a traditional South African "braai". The house is in a quiet suburban location, conveniently located 15 minutes drive from the Indian Ocean beaches and 15 minutes in the opposite direction to the city and the Waterfront, hugely popular with fellow tourists. We tended to eat at local restaurants, some within walking distance of the house. We also found some lovely early morning walks, in the nearby Constantia Green Belt. Also, the popular Constantia Village Mall is just 5 minutes away, which served all our shopping needs.

All in all, a wonderful home for a family holiday, ideally located to enjoy a wide range of entertainment.
