Mila is a warm and inviting host and her house is just beautiful. Comfortably accomodating 7 adults and 2 children, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Mila offered a crib and highchair for our littlelest and the pool does have a net to cover when not in use. The kids toybox was greatly appreciated (as were the two bottles of wine!).
The house is spacious and extremely well appointed. Bottled water, breakfast, some cooking basics, shampoo/body wash, braai wood, insect repellent, books, and swim towels are always on hand. AMAZING.
The Newlands location is central to most anything in CT and a safe walk to Cavendish mall. The property is fenced in, alarmed and located in a quiet street. We felt very safe and secure; specifically we liked that we could park 4 cars within the gated area and that each room had a safe for valuables. The gate and doors work with keyless entry making check-in and coming and going a breeze.
I will mention that the house is full of great character, but if you're up and down all night like we were with the baby, the floor boards are quite loud and choosing the more secluded back room is the better choice. And also to promptly close all windows and doors at sundown as not to invite the mosquitoes in as we did!
But best of all Maria is on site each day if you choose and will help keep the place clean and Mila only lives down the street and can be there in a flash if you need anything. Thank you so much for making our family vacation so worry-free and providing the landscape for many wonderful memories.
