Collins house is really and truly a fantastic place to spend your holidays. It is light and airy because of its very open plan lay out. All Bedrooms are air-conditioned and they work very well and very fast. So you only need to run them a while in the evenings. There are so many sliding doors on all levels, that air can circulate throughout the whole house. We arrived on the hottest day ever measured in Capetown and it was still very comfortable to be at the house. Also...The little pool is so wonderful to have. Because its in an open space inside the house, it rarely gets direct sun. So its always wonderfully refreshing to have a quick dip. The Garage is spacious and such a great thing to have. you obviously never have to look for parking, you can comfortably take your shopping into the house and your car is always safe.
Dixon, the caretaker and his wife Brenda are there for you if you need them and stay away if you don't. They are such a wonderful couple and their kids are amazing. Communication is very easy and if you call Dixon on his phone he makes a plan immediately to sort you out in a moment. Collin the owner of the house is just as fantastic... always checking if everything is alright, helping out with advice should you need some.
I read a critic of a German woman, who was complaining the kitchen wouldn't be quipped for a longer stay or easy cooking. That is absolute nonsense. I'm German myself...if that stands for some people for high standards .... and i love cooking. I even like to cook quite sophisticated stuff sometimes and although it is of course not like my own kitchen, I wasn't missing anything. In addition to the Kitchen, there is a nice gas braai on the terrace on top of it. I used to live in South Africa.... Capetown is among the most beautiful places on this planet. Be grateful to be able to visit such an amazing country and such an amazing city. Enjoy it ...and this stunning house is the perfect spot to do just that.
