Bungalow with spectacular view and backup power.

SusieRating, 5 stars3 months ago

After week's of travel in Botswana with our 10 year old girls, Chris's bungalow and space was a mini oasis for our visit to Cape Town. The glorious setting, fabulous antiques, art, excellent kitchen, outdoor showers, wood-fired hot tub and having a million places to perch and just relax was near perfection. We were also so grateful to Chris for stocking the place with fresh fruit and other fabulous supplies that we didn't even really need to go out for food for a few days. We would recommend any of Chris's spaces to anyone who wants a home away from home with extra care, beauty and elegance.

Firstly, the pictures do not do this darling of a house justice! It is immaculate. We came for the weekend for my boyfriend’s 30th birthday and what a lovely time it is. Close enough to the beach and vibey places, but secluded enough that you can enjoy the peace serenity of the place. Karen was an amazing host! Very communicative, quick to respond and friendly.

AngelaRating, 5 stars11 months ago

We loved arriving at the farm and staying in peace and quiet, close to the airport. Arno was extremely hospitable and friendly. We highly recommend the dinner. The hartebees was delicious and so was the salad. The space is adequate, the beds comfortable with high quality cotton. The shower hot and good pressure. We enjoyed a walk around the farm to stretch our legs. We would definitely recommend the cottages and hope to be back soon. Very good value for money.
