It was nice to be staying close to a local family as the Kelly's stay in the compound so that we got to know local culture better. We could take many a help and advice from them time to time. Kelly's were real quick to respond to any need we had. They were quite often willing to drop us or pick us from nearby locations, take us along when they were going for a drive or shopping.
The place was clean and neat. We did cook together.
Staying in Somerset West helped us explore attractions like the scenic drive to Betty's bay and one whole day we could explore Stellenbosch town and another day in the nearby mall. At times when we were stuck without being able to call an Uber Kellys were willing to help with Uber or pick us up.
