My guests have found my establishment to be comfortable and cozy. There is a tranquil peaceful garden to relax in and to have sun downers or sun uppers. The Garden Room has patio doors leading into the garden. One can also access the garden through the kitchen and lounge and if preferred could have meals on the patio area. If you like to do Mountain walks then it will take a few minutes to get to the foot of the mountain as it is behind my establishment. If you prefer to be on the beach then the popular beaches are approx 15- 20 minutes away. There are shops and two supermarkets nearby approx 5 minutes away. If you like eating out then you can visit the restaurants in the area which is about 3 minutes away by car. The Garden Court holiday inn is down the road if you prefer a buffet. Our main Hospital where the first Heart Transplant was performed by Professor Chris Barnard Called Groote Schuur is approx 8- 10 minutes away. The Waterfront is approx 15 minutes away where lots of entertainment and boat tours and helicopter rides take place. Plenty shopping malls and lots to see and walks along the harbor.
You can be sure of a happy and comfortable stay in my home. My decor is the way i like it. Cozy and homely. It is not sparsely decorated. Even though it does not have a 5 star rating my hospitality and care is rated as 5 Star.
Museums and Art Gallery and the Castle is approx 8-10 Minutes away and as i said my establishment is very close to most tourist attractions that is why it is not long before you will reach the place of interest you are seeking. You can walk to Table Mountain if you enjoy mountain climbing as the mountain is behind my home.
