Maryna is a gem! She was available on WhatsApp even before we landed in Cape Town.
We were traveling with a 5 month old baby and she went out of her way to buy a cot for the baby to sleep in instead of us traveling with one. She sent me pics of what she intended buying before she bought it.
We still travelled with our own cot but then we had the convenience of having a cot upstairs and downstairs for the baby.
She also asked whether we celebrated Xmas and added some Christmas decorations.
The welcome basket was also lovely.
These small touches really warmed our hearts.
Our intention was just to relax at the house because we were afraid of going out since Cape Town was and still is a coronavirus hotspot.
The house didn’t disappoint. It was magnificent and we didn’t feel as if we missed out on anything because the panoramic view of Cape Town especially Table Mountain and the ocean reminded us that we were in Cape Town.
The only issues we had, which Maryna gladly offered to fix was (1) the internet connection and (2) air-conditioning. At times the internet connection was erratic and didn’t work at all in the extra garden room. However Maryna offered to buy mobile data for the garden room. The other issue was the lack of aircon in the bedrooms. With the amazing panoramic views come big windows and direct sunlight which makes the bedrooms extremely hot during the day. This also makes day napping extremely uncomfortable. Aircon in the bedrooms would easily solve this problem (during summer) or perhaps allowing the windows to open fully. I understand the reason the windows only open slightly is to prevent the risk of accidents especially when traveling with toddlers. However, the sun must be a great benefit during winter for a lovely afternoon nap.
But the house and Maryna are so amazing that it really isn’t anything worth complaining about.
All in all, we got more than what we expected and it was amazing value for money.
We would gladly stay at the Greenhouse every time we visit Cape Town.
