    Judy was an excellent host and so accommodating. Right from the time we booked our stay, to our arrival, she communicated well with us. The location was excellent and Ubers were reasonable to get into the city.

Judy
Hedge House is a very personal business run from our home. Our staff Shirley Sharon and Susan have been with my family for many years. I am so grateful to this excellent team of amazing women and of course, Wellington who cares for the garden. In Winter guest beds are covered by a beautiful Afghan blanket. These were hand knitted with love by Ruth, a Zimbabwean living in Cape Town. We also have several worm "farms" which compost all our fruit & vegetable waste and then fertilize the veggie garden and other selected plants! In January 2023, we installed inverters to keep electricity on during power outages.
I trained as a Veterinary nurse and worked for many years in this field. 26 years ago, we started our first BnB and I have been in the hospitality industry ever since. I have four incredible adult children, one of which, Anna, who is a trained chef, lives at Hedge House and helps with the baking and cooking.
We live in a well-established, leafy suburb which is friendly, quiet and safe. Keurboom Park is a 5 minute walk away, where a family of owls is frequently seen and dogs play off lead. The closest restaurants are a kilometer away
