Glencairn is a sleepy little hollow and ideal for a restful stay, within walking distance of a secluded little beach among rocks (including two tidal pools close by). It is possible to get to the Cape Town attractions by motor vehicle too. There is a small supermarket within easy walking distance and the main shopping mall for the area is also close by.
We enjoyed the older cosy home with two lovely sized rooms and two bathrooms. The wraparound verandah gave wonderful views of the sea, mountains and the beautiful garden. We were sheltered from the wind most of the time, depending which part of the outside area we sat in. The lack of a formal kitchen wasn't a problem for us, as we found the cooking appliances most adequate to prepare small meals (and even some larger ones!). Adele collected all our dishes for washing and returned them promptly.
Adele went out of her way to make our stay most enjoyable. We loved our stay with her and her friendly Basset dog, Hazel. We hope to return soon, when hopefully Covid 19 is a distant memory.
