Gary Smith
Safe, cosy and private apartment in a quiet neighbourhood. Very safe for couples and single females travelling alone. Close to Panorama and Tygerberg hospitals as well as Grand West Casino and Canal Walk, Cape Towns largest shopping mall. Beaches are 15mins drive away and Table Mountain 20mins. There are lots of walking trails close by for the avid adventurer. The cottage is separate from the main house and has its own entrance, so guests can come and go freely. We have invested in a high quality inverter, so load shedding is not a burden, with the exception of the stove and aircon. Please note that any cleaning and bedding changes only occur once a week and guests are welcome to arrange any extra cleaning at a nominal cost. This helps to keep down the cost of your stay.
Friendly, always contactable and available for interaction.
Quiet, safe neighborhood, not far from amenities and close to major hi- ways (N1) (R300) (N2) (N7)
