This Newlands Hamlet is beautifully decorated, clean and within walking distance of all sorts of shops and restaurants. It was a lucky find.
One drawback at the moment is that with load shedding, where there is no power for up to four hours at a time and sometimes more than once a day, there is no gas hob or other means to boil water for a cup of coffee, or heat or cook food. Despite being mentioned in the list of facilities, the hob is electric and not gas. There is an inverter which allows for charging of USB devices and powers the TV and the internet. However, this inverter does not power any lights or the fridge.
