Myself and my husband spent 2 weeks in Cape Town at "Private, comfortable apartment in Pinelands". Karina was our host, very friendly via e-mail. On arrival we were met by her husband very friendly and helpful when we arrived . He explained to us that they have a Tennant staying in the other cottage and that he parks his van in the driveway. We were not aware that we would need to struggle everyday to get in and out the gate past the Tennants van. We did arrange for parking in the garage prior to arrival and was willing to pay the host for the parking. On arrival the host did agree to let us use the garage for free and I am thankful for that, however it became a daily struggle to get in and out of the gate past the Tennants car untill my car got dented by the side of the gate which after an assessment is going to cost me R5000 to fix when I get back to Durban. The host and her family was on holiday while we were staying there. The place was clean when we arrived however no cleaning was done for the duration of our stay. We received a message a few days before we left to say sorry about the cleaning we will reimburse you. Which I feel is unacceptable I should have been given a choice. The bed was extremely uncomfortable to sleep on. After the first week we took our clothes to the nearby laundromat and the bedding as the bedding needed to be changed. The place had no ventilation and became extremely hot during the night. The windows opens so narrow it doesn't really serve the purpose of air coming in. We were offered wifi which didn't accept the password when you enter the password. We ended up using our own wifi. The hot water was available only in the morning and the evening. During the day there was only cold water. Overall our stay was not pleasant or comfortable and I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone.
