PLEASE read full description and note that you need to 109 climb uneven stairs to the house! The space Our cottage is a cozy bright house.

Please bring your own wood :) we look forward to welcome you :) We are very passionate about describing our listings accurately to correctly set expectations at the risk of appearing off-putting but we just believe that happy guests are the best guests :) So please read before booking: Our houses are best suited for the adventurous at heart. They are rustic escapes best suited for nature lovers who want an escape from the world and refresh their souls. - we use lovely old furniture and doors and finishings but that means that a window may not close as tightly or that a doorknob my seem more wobbly than in a modern newly built house, or that the daybed may squeak a little when you sit down hard on it - this is a third world country and there are certain outages that occur that we can not take responsibility for - these are load shedding and water outages Please also note that South Africa is currently implementing rolling blackouts called loadshedding. There is an app that announces the times of these blackouts in advance so that one can plan around them. We provide some rechargeable lights in the house and the stove is heated by gas so you can still cook - In summer (October - March) it is windy season in Cape Town the house is set in African nature and we have seen Cape grey buck, porcupines, owls, mongoose and a large variety of birds directly around the house. We love this but that also mean that the odd bug or animal may make its way into or onto the house but not out of it. Of course we will not tolerate any infestation of anything but it may be possible that you find a millipede, ant, mouse etc on the odd occasion. As part of living in harmony with nature comes not to poison these unwanted tenants but rather trap them as for example many owls die of eating poisoned mice and then a cape caracal may eat the poisoned owl and die as well. we do allow pets at the property and while we clean thoroughly after each stay but for example a very hairy cat may have left the odd hair or two, that escaped the cleaners so if you are highly allergic to pet hair, this may affect you We were hesitant to put up an age for kids because everyone brings up their kids so differently. Apart from the stairs it should be noted that the balcony is fenced in a way that the spacing is legal for kids, but if they really really try they can probably squeeze themselves through that, especially if very young and left unattended. It should also be noted that if kids or elderly people sleep in the upstairs room, that they will have to climb stairs to get there.(please refer to the pictures) So if you are travelling with kids please check with us if you have any safety concerns or questions Read the reviews - our house is fiercely loved by many of our guests as they give you a break from the shackles of suburban clinical life but please bring a bit of an adventure spirit with you :) Guest access Guests will have their total privacy as the cottage is only surrounded by nature. Other things to note Please note that you do need to climb the stairs to get to our beautiful place. But up there you will be rewarded with incredible views of sunrises, whales and eagles. (And a super fit body after your holiday, so you can enjoy South Africa's delicious wines without a bad conscience)
