Our stay at De Velde Estate was great. It was exactly as shown and the pictures displayed by Frans are accurate. It is situated in a perfect location - right near the beach (± 3km drive), near a big shopping mall, a quick drive to Stellenbosche and not too far from Cape Town.

The apartment has everything you need for a more than comfortable stay with special and thoughtful touches throughout. Just one example we really loved was having a bottle of champagne waiting when we arrived to kick start our New Year celebrations. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were modern and neat - exactly what you need to come home to when you are out and about enjoying the Western Cape.

The facilities in the estate (the lifestyle centre) were pretty impressive too. There was a functional training gym (same equipment you would find in a Crossfit Box), a day spa (which was divine!) a restaurant and a decent size pool.

Frans as a host was fantastic - he went out of his way to assist in making our stay perfect and was quick in responses. He even helped us out with suggestions for a NYE party spot. We felt very welcomed and at ease knowing that should we need anything he was just an email away.

All in all - a highly positive experience and we will definitely return.

Thank you Frans :)
