    We absolutely loved our stay at this unique and beautifully styled cottage in Stanford. The creativity in the decor and design made it feel truly special—every detail had character, yet the space remained cozy and welcoming. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and we appreciated the quality finishes throughout, from the well-equipped kitchen to the luxurious linens. The host is extremely thoughtful and the electric blankets were on when we arrived and he was friendly and full of information and recommendations. We loved sitting on the stoep watching all the birds in the lovely old tree and felt at home immediately. This cottage is the perfect blend of artistic flair and everyday comfort. Highly recommended for a relaxing and inspiring getaway!

    We liked everything

    Andy's and his wife who hosted us are two wonderful people. We had a warm welcome and immediately felt at home. The garden with its swimming pool is cosy and peaceful. The ideal place to energize the body and mind. Everything is clean and well equipped. We would like to visit again. Then we will stay longer.

    What a little gem in such a great location in Stanford. Andy and Sally were so helpful and friendly - Andy even left watching the rugby at a restaurant to let us in! So comfortable with everything you need. Highly recommended. We will be back.

    My partner and I had a wonderful experience. The hosts Sal and Andy were a pleasure and they couldn't do enough for you. Really nice space /cottage and we had a great, peaceful stay. Stanford itself is very small and has a lot of charm.

    Only on street parking but felt safe and had no problems as I had my own entrance.

    Breakfast not included but full kitchen. Very peaceful, salt pool and cozy. Loved sitting outside in the evening. It was only a one nice stay but the place deserved longer. Own entrance so very private.

    Off street parking could be a boon (Andy offered us his space in his garage but we did not want to impose). Load-shedding was an issue- but that appears to be ghe normal in SA now...

    It's quirky quaintness and location. Andy is an affable host too.

    wonderful small cottage in a beautiful garden in the Stanford. Everything you need to relax and enjoy. We stayed there for 4 nights. Good location to explore the surrounding area of Gaansbai, Cape Agulas and Hermanus. Small, nice restaurants in the little town within walking distance. We also had a fantastic finedining experience at Sprinfontain Wine Estate with gourmet food. Excellent and recommended😊
