Alex's hospitality started before we had arrived. She was flexible with our travel schedule. So when we did arrive, we were, well, a bit quiet. What a lovely location of this cottage! It is set at a mountain side with spectacular views. At the same time, all the goodies of Cape Town are a 20min drive away.

The cottage itself is comfortable and cosy. We were here during the SA winter, and the heating elements (rare in SA houses, we have found out) and the fire place could warm the place up to a very comfortable level during the evening. The tennis court was a nice addition, and the pool worked out as well. Even while it was winter, the kids were daring enough to try it out.

During our stay, we kept in touch with Alex. She helped us with local information, and when we needed extra towels and a larger pot for cooking, it all appeared after a blink of the eye.

To sum up: we made a second booking to extend our first week's stay :-)
