    Having to come back to the cold 🥶 x

    An absolute gem. Hosts met us on arrival and even got up early to see us off. Ideally located away from the bustle of Cape Town but close enough to explore. Cottage had everything we needed and more. Swimming pool is private and will be cleaned and covered daily without intrusion. Lovely covered patio area for dining outside, supermarket a 3 minute drive away. What can I say apart from pretty perfect. Thank you,Hazel and Christo. X

    Everything was perfect, we could not fault it.

    Location for us was perfect, close to the shopping mall, the beach and winers. We were self catering, the BBQ was ideal. Our hosts could not have been better. We would return there, and certainly reccommend it.

    Beautiful location. Hazel and Christo were amazing hosts. Made all of us feel so welcome. The pool was so nice to swim in after a long day of exploring Cape Town. Felt very safe and secure at the cottage. The Cottage was so clean and nice, a great place to relax.

    There wasn't anything that we didn't like.

    We stayed in Meerendal Cottage from 5th January until 3rd February 2024. The property is absolutely superb and the owners, Hazel & Christo, who live in the adjoining property, are very special people. We had decided to find a 5 star property that would afford us privacy and luxury whilst we enjoyed the hot South African summer. The property met this brief 100%. The cottage is extremely well appointed, has 2 bedrooms, a kitchen and two bathrooms. The showers are excellent. The exclusive use of the small but lovely garden and the swimming pool are of enormous benefit. The pool is heated and we used it constantly as it was at the right temperature to enjoy easy access. We ate out a few nights a week but BBQ'd the rest of the time. We can't thank Hazel and Christo enough for their kind hospitality.

    Absolutely beautiful and comfortable. We loved everything about the place. Rooms are large and spacious, and 2 large bathroom/toilet/showers. Great that both rooms have their own TVs with streaming services. There is so much of space to relax in from the 2 beds, to the window nook/lounging area in main bedroom, dining table, braai/patio area, movable pool loungers, garden bench etc. Owners are really lovely and helpful but leave us alone to enjoy the place (although in contact in need). Conveniently close to supermarket/shopping centre/petrol station and also the N1, yet still has the look and feel of a safe, quiet suburb.

    Lots of keys, but that's just South Africa and other people might like the added security that this offers.

    Hosts are very responsive, welcoming and helpful, showing the layout of the cottage. We appreciated the hosts additional 'special touches' and care demonstrated to that. We loved our stay.
