Elmari's little gem of a cottage deserved 10 out of 10 and I highly recommend her to you.
The accommodation is just perfect if you are looking for comfort and privacy. The L shaped room is perched on a patio overlooking a beautiful garden and pool. The gentle sound of the fountain and the birdsong are the only sounds in an otherwise very quiet space.
I delighted in the companionship of her two dogs who were extremely polite and waited for me to want to be friends.
Joyce, the housekeeper, kept the laundry flowing and helps to keep this home from home impeccable.
Attention to detail and loving care is evident everywhere, from the delicate paper mobile above the bed to the little iron warthog outside the patio double doors.
This is a very harmonious and well run home and a wonderful example of South African hospitality at its best.
I was sad to leave and will certainly ask to stay again on my next visit to Capetown.
(I must also mention that Jakes restaurant is a stones throw away and they too felt like family by the time I left. Pick and Pay and 7/11 is 3 minutes walk away. )
