The Heritage Cape Town beach house was a quaint and cozy spot for our week on the Cape Peninsula. The manager, Ian, was very friendly and responsive to any needs we had and the owner, Cecile was also very communicative. If you're looking for a central place to take day trips from to explore the area this is a great spot! It's close Constantia winelands, the penguin colony at Boulders Beach, Cape Point, and good eateries. It's also only a 35 minute drive into Cape Town proper and the cable car up to Table Mountain. We loved that there were hiking trails within walking distance of the cottage and took full advantage of these most days!
However, if you're looking for a quiet, tucked away place this might not be for you. The cottage was close to Main Road, so the traffic and train were audible. The dog next door barked quite a bit and the neighbor enjoyed playing classical music early in the morning. These weren't deal breakers for us, as we were up and out of the cottage fairly early most mornings. But it's something to be aware of if you're looking for a particular experience.
Overall, I'm happy to recommend this cottage to the adventurous traveler looking to stay in an off-the-beaten-path and non-touristy place that's central to all of the wonderful experiences this area has to offer!
