A home from home!

A very roomy house, with a fantastic pool and 10 chickens to feed! The kids loved that in particular - taking leftover food out for them and collecting the eggs. Faye was onhand and able to dispense valuable advice and recommendations, as well as background to the culture and customs of Cape Town. The house is beautifully situated deep in a fantastic upmarket housing area, in the already well-healed Somerset West. A whole host of restaurants, supermarkets and the wine region are within a 5 minute drive, overlooking by the Helderberg mountain. 30 minutes from the airport, 15 mins from Stellenbosch - ideally placed. Highly recommended, as is the owner Faye!

Ausgezeichnet

Wir hätten es nicht besser treffen können, es stimmte einfach alles; der Preis dafür war allerdings sehr hoch. Aber mitten in Corona hat uns das nicht gestört. Und ich würde dieses Anwesen auch sofort wieder für nächstes Jahr reservieren.

Very comfortable, exellent overall accomodation

We especially appreciated the numerous sitting areas both inside and outside the house, the very well-stocked kitchen with enough silverware and plates and appliances for any occasion, very comfortable beds with good quality linens, and the cleaning service 3x per week. Faye was also very helpful and accommodating when we had questions or issues. Absolutely loved the fresh eggs daily from the chickens in the back!

Wonderful home for family gatherings

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the “Owl House”! The owner, Faye, was responsive to all of our needs. The home was comfortable and well laid out for multiple families traveling together with private sleeping areas, and large gathering areas and kitchen. The house was beautifully decorated, well appointed, and the gardens were gorgeous! The house maid was there a few days a week and was wonderful. In addition to a beautiful pool, the backyard also has a hen house, where guests can gather their own fresh eggs every morning- our kids loved this! We hope to be able to return to this property again next time we vacation in South Africa!
