"The property is located in an affluent and secure area, which in convenient for visiting all around the Cape Town area. The views are wonderful, including the ‘Grut Constantia’ wineries. The owner and staff are very hospitable and helpful. The property includes a number of outside facilities which are very handy on those ‘lazy days’. An ideal location and very convenient if you don’t want to eat out every night. Try the pick your own take away food at the local supermarkets, very good and very economical. I heartily recommend it."
