The property is very centrally located. It is only 30-40 mins from the Airport, close to the Highway as well as many wine farms and is easy to find. It has a 380 year old Yellowwood tree right next to a sparkling pool and deck in a secluded garden. We are 10 minutes away from Stand beach where you can walk for for many kilometres and see the most beautiful sunsets. It has a clean classic look and a very comfortable double Hastens bed. Our BnB is a very secure 'Home away from Home'. Our private luxurious en-suite Unit has a separate entrance away from the main house and is equipped with a flat-screen TV with Netflix, Disney Plus and Youtube. WiFi is available during loadshedding. We offer fresh milk and rusks on arrival as well as a Nespresso coffee machine. It contains a small fridge and microwave. Once booked in, guests have keys to control their own access to and from the unit. Free parking in front of the cottage for cars and trailer. We are a quick 180m (3min) walk from Spar as well as a bottle store, hairdresser and a pharmacy. No Pool Net! We cannot host children. Swimming towels provided.
I have enjoyed running 2 bnb's for seven years in Somerset West which has given me time to spend with my 2 boys. Always available to assist guests and have a great team of staff.
The neighbourhood is sourronded by beautiful big trees and stunning scenery. It is a very peaceful and tranquil. Easy access to main routes. Accessable to Uber drivers. Perfect position to start your wine route tour. 5km to beautiful Strand Beach front and 40km from Cape Town.
