    Self Catering. Braai facility, Live squirrels. The shower was great, with an option to bath.

    I was taken through a quick intro on what my accommodation offered. Small attention to detail made a big difference like having the outside light on when I arrived late after a long day. I will be back!

Irene
Dove Cottage is a ground floor apartment with it's own private patio and access to a lush garden and a solar heated pool. It is one of three units available to let.
I love hosting and meeting all kinds of people from different cultures. I enjoy working in the garden and try to create a beautiful space for my guests and birds and butterflies, to enjoy!
The neighbourhood is quiet and peaceful and it is safe and pleasant to take walks. There is a kiddies' park one block away and a good restaurant as well. The local shops can be walked to although it is usual to have a car to get around.
