December 2007
My family, 9 of us in total, stayed at the property during December 2007 and we loved it.
The house itself is situated in a lovely quiet residential area, which is clean and feels very safe.
As we drove towards the house we had those nerves that we all get when you arrive at the place that you will be staying on holiday, however the house was amazing!
We pulled in to a massive garage and driveway, which was ideal secure parking for our 2 hire cars.
The property itself is huge. There was plenty of living and eating space for the 9 of us. I was well-equipped and lovely décor throughout. The garden is grassed and big enough to explore and as we sunbathed you could catch a glimpse of one of the mountains, which are one of the many things we love about South Africa. Great sized pool that is maintained weekly.
There are shops, which are a matter of minutes away and a mall, which is about 10 minutes away. This has a cinema, which we went to a few times during our stay.
It took us about 20 minutes by car to get to the Victoria and Albert waterfront and driving was no problem at all.
I must also quickly mention the maid Alice, who is amazing. It was strange for us initially contemplating having a maid however there is no benefit system in South Africa so if she doesn’t work she doesn’t get any money. We asked her to come to the house a few times a week and she would happily busy herself with the washing and ironing, which is a massive help when there is 9 of you!!
The housekeeper Cheryl was also great. Very friendly and easily contactable if you should have any issues she will gladly sort them out.
I could honestly write many more positive things about this property and can say that
we would definitely consider this property again should we return to South Africa, which I am sure we will!!
