Irish Golfers

We stayed in Alfie’s Cottage for two weeks on a self-catering basis which included Christmas. Well appointed and very conveniently located with easy access to supermarkets restaurants beaches golf courses which was exactly what we wanted. Good liaison with owners even though they were away but they were still available. No hesitation in returning there!

3 week stay in the wine lands in the spring

The apartment is spotlessly clean and well equipped. Jo goes to a lot of trouble to ensure even the smallest things are ready for your visit. Situated just south of Paarl it is very central for access to all the winelands, and wine farms etc. The owner's family are very welcoming and you could not ask for better hosts. The farm is easy to find and quite secure.
