Owl Cottage is part of a group of apartments on the beautiful Silvermist Wine Estate. The views from the front porch are breathtaking and the whole place is surrounded by the mountain and vineyards. Owl Cottage itself is small but well appointed; the bed was the most comfortable we've had all trip and the log fire was particularly welcome (the wood was replenished and the fire laid each morning). It does get cold, as most places in Cape Town seem to be designed for summer use, so bear this in mind when packing!
One area of improvement would be communication - I'd suggest sending an email immediately that a booking is made, giving clear directions and suggestions for what to do on arrival. We were told to put the on-site Colombe Restaurant into Google maps to find the place but it turns out this moved to Silvermist only recently, so it took us an extra hour of driving around and asking to eventually locate it. We then found out the restaurant needs to be booked up some time in advance, which was a bit of a disappointment as the Cottage has no cooking facilities and we were looking forward to a good meal. We also specifically requested WiFi, but shortly before arrival discovered that this was done on a voucher system which was complicated to navigate and led to the connection being lost every few minutes. All these things could have been easily clarified in advance so this was a little frustrating.
However, overall this is a special place to stay and we generally felt well looked after in the 2 days we were there.
