I stayed in Unit 4 Garden Cottage for 1 month (1 bedroom, kitchenette, living room, 1 bathroom). The kitchenette had everything I needed to cook my own meals, including a full-size refrigerator/freezer. The unit and property were spotless and immaculately maintained. Breakfast was a delicious hearty typical English breakfast. I was traveling on business and had good wi-fi reception in my unit for doing my work. Wylie Park, Woolworths, Pick N Pay, and several restaurants are all a 15 minute walk away. Most importantly, Adie and Di are fantastic and helpful hosts! This property is great for long stays and solo female travelers.

    The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was clean and spacious. I think if they can invest more on sound proofing the rooms it will be great. To prevent the noise from the street and from neighbouring rooms to interrupt the guests and also cover the balcony and have some chairs so that the guests can enjoy seating outside.

    The perfect place to stay in a quiet, safe area. The location is perfect - about 1km from Woolworths, Checkers, PicknPay etc and only 3km from the start of the Amashova and Comrades. Safe, secure parking behind a remote controlled gate and brick walls. The hosts were superfriendly and went out of their way to accommodate our special requests. My room was spacious with a comfortable mattress for a good night's rest before our big race.
