Cape Point Cottage is a beautiful and serene place, we had a lovely time and really relaxed! Thank you Rosalind!
The listing is a little vague about the facilities so here is what we would have liked to know:
- The property is situated above the road, on a hillside. Excellent views, no direct access to sea though.
- There are two rental properties on the plot, the Cape Point Cottage and a second, larger villa. The two are quite close together but quite separate.
- The property is managed by Tarasai, who lives there and is extremely helpful - so any problems can easily get sorted out.
- When the listing says solar electricity, it means "very little electricity!" There are 2 electrical lights in the cottage, one in the kitchen and one in the bedroom. The rest of the lighting is candles. Bring torches and lanterns, particularly for the bathroom!
- Because of the solar energy, some things you expect to be there are not: no freezer (so no ice), no oven, no microwave, no toaster. Obvious when you think about it but you might not think about it in advance! The gas hob is very good though.
- The cottage is very open plan - the bathroom and bedroom are one space, and the lounge and bedroom have a large linking opening too. Lovely flow, but not very private if you like your bathroom visits private :)
It is a lovely spot for chilling, relaxing, and sleeping (so quiet!). There are 4 friendly dogs who know not to come into the cottage but love cuddles. Enjoy your stay!
