If you want to feel safe and secure yet be wonderfully situated for all that Cape Town has to offer, then this little cottage fits the bill.
Within walking distance of Newlands cricket and rugby grounds, this home is ideal for sports fans.
The stairs to the mezzanine bedroom require only moderate fitness and courage, but the first step is a bit of a stretch for those of us with little legs and ageing muscles!
The furnishing is basic, but everything is there for limited self catering with basic shopping available within walking distance and larger supermarkets within a 10 minute drive. However, there is a good range of restaurants less than 10 minutes walk from the cottage, so self catering isn’t an essential!
Light sleepers should be aware that the cottage is directly next door to the high school, so from 07:00 there is noise from students and staff arriving, followed very rapidly by the maintenance team banging and crashing. I’m sure they must think that their work will be judged on the amount of noise they make! However, weekends are blissfully quiet.
Martin and Jane are enthusiastic and caring hosts. They provide a comprehensive local information folder and give their personal advice freely. From safety advice to priceless tips on things to do and see in the area and printing out our boarding cards prior to leaving, nothing was too much trouble.
