Beautiful place... but we only stayed at this house for one night when we booked for 6. The reason being I was there on business and my family leisure. However, the internet did not work when we arrived and I lost a night of work because of it. I was not prepared to wait for it to be fixed knowing how Telkom operate (South Africa and all) and had to make alternative plans. One of those things.
That all being said Maureen was understanding and quickly dealt with the refund for the remaining nights and also showed good faith in the rate for the first night (can't complain there at all - it was very smooth)
We were very impressed with the house, it was a great location, quiet area and wonderfully stocked in terms of amenities and personal touches. Much better than where we moved to actually, but the lack of internet meant we could not stay as much as would have liked to.
Maureen has gone the extra mile in terms of the house and making it welcoming, my only advice would be that these observatory houses are cold and therefore we would expect the host to provide a first nights wood, so if you arrive late at night you do not have to go searching - however, once wood is available the fire works wonderfully well and the house quickly warms up.
Myself and my wife believe good accommodation should have nice bathrooms and powerful showers and I can tell you, Maureen's place does not disappoint. Very comfortable, and excellent pressure and showers to kick you off for the day.
I would recommend this place that is for sure and would have happily stayed if internet was working, just unlucky on this occasion.
