About this property

Beautiful private cottage with incredible mountain views and great location

Alfie's Cottage is a home away from home. It is fully equipped with a full oven, fridge/ freezer and washing machine so that you can get settled and cook your own meals whilst also enjoying the wonderful restaurants, wine farms and golf courses on offer close by. There are mountain views out of the cottage windows of the magnificent Hottentots Holland nature reserve and we are very near to the Erinvale golf course and the Lourensford, Vergelegen and Morgenster wine farms. Alfie's Cottage borders the nature reserve and we are based on a road loved by walkers and mountain bikers for its incredible views of the mountains and reservoir. The cottage has barbeque facilities and a private patio to enjoy sundowners after a day out.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Jen and Charles Niehaus

Host profile image
We are a family of four with a teenage daughter and son in primary school. We are passionate about travelling and enjoying the amazing lifestyle our country has to offer. Abby our cocker spaniel is very much part of the family and loves to welcome our guests. Our housekeeper and gardener have been with us for over 10 years and love meeting our guests from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

Alfie's Cottage is a very special place because of its unique location. We are situated right on the border of the Helderberg Nature Reserve with no properties in front of us so we are able to look right out at the stunning mountains which are forever changing colour. Our house has only been owned by one other family who built the property and Alfie the donkey, used to be housed in the paddock that still stands around the cottage.

What makes this property unique

The benefit to Alfie's is that it is in a very quiet and scenic location very close to the well known wine farms of the area but is equally close to the shops, markets, restaurants and beach thereby allowing visitors the luxury of convenience without sacrificing views or the countryside. We also have an excellent security company who patrol 24 hours on our road and park outside our gate when not patrolling for peace of mind.
