Lovely personal welcome with Iced Tea and buns. Also a very generous welcome pack of goodies for us in the fridge.
The two lovely friendly retrievers made the stay special as we were by then missing our own dogs. They always kept us company when relaxing in the garden. They are not allowed in the (ground level) apartment and respected that – with an occasional ’OUT’ needed.
The apartment is stylishly fitted out and has pretty-much anything you need. The Monday to Friday housekeeping service was especially welcome. Thandi even did our laundry for a modest extra charge. We had secure off-street parking.
We did find it a little difficult to get the apartment cooled to our liking at night, even using the fan. (A rechargeable large fan with light– for power outages – how clever is that?) I think if staying again I would open the window beside the door to get a better through draught.
One of the lovely things about this place is that you can safely walk to Newlands Village where there are a few good restaurants, bars and cafes. Under 10 minutes. We walked at night. It was lovely not to need Uber etc.
The garden, with a mountain view, is lovely with a couple of dedicated loungers and a table for airBnB guests. It was always possible to find welcome shade.
Debby was the consummate host, even booking an appointment with her (lovely) local doctor at Colinton Surgery when one of our party needed a prescription. Seeing a doctor as a foreign tourist was very easy, prompt, and very good value.
Highly recommended – especially for dog lovers.
