    The cottage was warm and welcoming, very well equipped for anything you might need and spotlessly clean. There was fresh milk in the fridge when we arrived along with rusks on the counter, Tracey, our host, made us feel at home right away. We...

    This was our first time and it felt like we were staying in an oasis. The grounds are beautiful, the accommodation comfortable and the staff very friendly. We will definitely return, without a doubt.

This quiet tranquil unit has a private entrance away from the house and offers a top-quality kitchen as well as a Bean to Cup coffee machine. It is equipped with a flat-screen TV with Netflix, Disney Plus and Youtube. A sparkling pool with a deck, set in a lovely shady garden that has a 350 year old Yellowwood and Camphor tree. The unit has a joint second room, The Blue Room which caters for an additional 2 guests in single beds. The Blue Room has it's own en-suite shower and toilet. The unit has a small patio outside with table and chairs as well as a Weber braai. Secure and safe free parking in front of the unit. Unit is not serviced, but you can arrange for it to be serviced at an added fee. No Pool net - so we prefer not to host young children under 10
I have 2 boys, love gardening and run a small salon on the property in my free time. Am always available to assist guests.
Somerset West is a beautiful, scenic town with views of both the coast and mountains. We are situated 5km from Strand beach front and 45km from Cape Town. Only 25 min from the Airport depending on time of day. We are easy to Find and just 4 min from the N2. A great place to start your wine route tour. We are a quick 180m (3min) walk to Spar as well as a bottle store, hairdresser and pharmacy.
