From our room and from the common deck area, and all areas facing front, was a picture perfect view, from the hill we were on, of the bay in front of Somerset, all the way over to Table Mountain and Capetown. So many mountains too. Every night, the sunsets were spectacular, over this incredible view! We were able to wallk in the eco park and get significant excercise in a protected and multi view "wild" area on the hill that this B & B resides on! The breakfast starts with Joanne in her brilliance (smile, countenance, and colorful clothing), greeting you and making the start of the day get off on the right foot! The fruit salad is to die for, every morning, and the you choose your eggs style and extras! Delicious!! The room had many extras in it, right down to baskets to go to the market, lawn chairs to take to the beach or whatever, and a very small, but extremely well equipped "kitchen" cupboard with all the extras and small fridge. ie. Wine glasses for 4, dishes, cutlery, cutting board, etc for 4 people, even though the room is for two. The deck that we had was extra large, and so we could choose between sun and shade areas to sit and gaze at the spectatular surroundings! The staff were so pleasant and friendly and helpful, but only as involved as you want them to be. They even will do your laundry for you and have it back to you promptly, for a small charge. We so loved our time there! Wish it was closer to western Canada!! Such a lovely retreat! Also, Joanne is a collector, so she has a house full of beautiful things! The grass thatched roof with the unique Turkish chandelier was gorgeous in our room and the dining room. You eat in the dining area, which is the center of the house if the weather is inclement. Otherwise, breakie is on the deck.

This place is beautiful and it seems like you are staying in a resort. The pool is big and the area around it has small lounges where you can just chill and enjoy your time off. You can park inside or outside the property , the area is very safe. The room where we stayed is really nicely done and has everything you need. Hosts are kind and ready to help you. You have options for breakfast and you can order it in advance. Definitely recommend.

The guest house is a somewhat boutique style guest house, with a nice rustic feel and South African themed. It is a small quiet area, but one gets to know the people, also meet other guests and get to know real people from South Africa. The location is in a quiet neighbourhood, but also central and within driving distance from connecting routes to get to Cape Town, beach areas and wine districts. The people at the guest house are very friendly and help out as far as they can.

The guesthouse was in a quiet neighborhood. The staff were friendly and helpful. Room and bathroom was spacious and clean. Climate control was perfect for the heat-wave we experienced. Breakfast was well hosted and beautifully presented with a large variety. The large pool surrounded by palm trees was our favourite area with comfortable deck chairs all around the pool area and beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. Pool towels were always fresh and conveniently located.
