Menno & Janneke
Protea Retreat, self catering apartment is set against the backdrop of the Protea Heights hills & the Cape Winelands & wine route. This luxury apartment, or chalet, call it whatever you wish, is a complete home away from home. The 60 square meter, 1 bedroom apartment is attached to a home, but has a separate entrance, and is fully contained as a home on it’s own. Only the best finishes where used when building this home. Furnishings are brand new & comfortable making this a unit not just suitable for a day or two, but perfect for the businessman or transient traveler needing a short term home offering all the comforts of a permanent home. Protea Retreat is set with decks overlooking tranquil garden & swimming pool setting although sharing these with the home owner. Whether you wish to be private and left alone in seclusion, or share the passions the owners have for travel, nature & general good living, Protea Retreat will offer these to you. Protea Retreat really contains everything you need to live like you were living at home. We have attempted to provide more than just the kettle & a few packets of coffee & sugar by stocking everything we ourselves would need to live here.
