This was my first experience of Airbnb and first stay in South Africa. And what an amazing experience it was. I read some comments saying that the picture of Connie's cottage, beautiful as it is, could not do justice to the place. I totally agree, and I think that whatever I write will be a pale image. The cottage and surroundings are so stunning. And the same applies to the hostess. Connie looked after my husband and I so well, providing extensive information before our arrival, waiting for the car at the bottom of the street, suggesting restaurants, places to visit on and off beaten track, making us feel at home, giving me a drive around the neighbourhood on the first day so that I can get the feeling of the place. Stephen was a mine of information about South Africa, present and past, including introduction in the family history... and a delivery of the morning paper. We came as guests, we feel we left good friends. And the cottage is beautifully and tastefully furnished, very well equipped and with a great swimming pool. The area is beautiful, safe, and good restaurants are within walking distance. We hardly ever used our car during our 4 days of staying there.
