Churchill Lane Self catering Studio apartment. The perfect mix between modern and country living. All 5 Semi detached units face the tranquil lake and there is a large open area for parking inside the property. The living space and bedroom is one large open space with a private bathroom. Our units are fully serviced and we supply basic linen, towels and toiletries. Our Units have all the requirements to do your own cooking and we have a large fridge in each unit. Our cooking is on induction ovens and we supply Coffee and tea daily. Our units are airconditioned, with large covered patio, where sundowners and our amazing birdlife can be enjoyed. Our units are all solar powered, so we are not affected by load shedding. We.look forward to hosting you.
The Studios has been a labour of love for us. We started with an empty shell 4 years ago. Together with the owner a visionary and master carpenter we were able to build something really special. We hope you enjoy what we have created for you.
The Studios are situated at the end of a dead end street. Perched just above a scenic lake. This tranquil setting and bird life sanctuary, feels like a trip to the country.. Conveniently set about 5km from the heart of Hillcrest and Kearsney College Our 4 Studios are a generous size and have all the conveniences needed to make your stay comfortable. We look forward to hosting you
