My husband and I recently stayed at this lovely self-contained secure cottage for two nights while visiting Cape Town. We chose to stay in this area because of the close proximity to Cape Town’s main attractions without being in a busy town. The cottage is English Country décor styled and based in Constantia which is a beautiful green lush area with local forest walks and also good restaurants and general good shops very nearby. The connection to the main motorway (junction 15 Meadowlands) is minutes away so no delays in getting around. It took us about 15-20 mins to drive to the Cape Town waterfront which is an area not to miss with fantastic shops and restaurants plus many interesting attractions and the gateway to Robin Island. Beaches were about 20 mins away.
We were greeted on arrival by Simone who guided us to our spotlessly clean self-contained cottage which adjoins the main house. We had a good size bedroom, large modern bathroom with large shower and bath & WC, wash basin. There was also a good size kitchen area and large dining and sitting room. Both dining room and bedroom led on to a small terrace leading to the beautiful large main house garden. We could also use the large undercover sitting area and lovely pool which belongs to the main house. We used the pool both days which we really enjoyed. We could request the additional benefit of a cooked breakfast served in our cottage which we took advantage of on the last morning, this was cooked by Martyn, Simone’s husband and was delicious. Martyn and Simone have two lovely dogs in the main house which were the friendliest gentle affectionate dogs we have ever come across and were no problem whatsoever.
Both Martyn and Simone were extremely friendly and helpful in advising us the best routes and places to visit both locally in Cape Town and further afield to the wine regions and garden route, this was invaluable information and made our tour of South Africa something very special. We would thoroughly recommend this accommodation to any traveller whilst visiting Cape Town.
