Sun loungers, outdoor shower and pool towels are all facilities that are included.
Having travelled and worked extensively across the globe over the last 25 years, it has been wonderful returning to settle in beautiful Cape Town, enjoying the scenery and the active lifestyle the Mother City as to offer. Being an airbnb host has enabled me to continue meeting like-minded people from over the world and it is such a privilege being able to count these travellers as friends when they leave!
Location, Location, Location! Constantia is a quiet, green, leafy suburb of Cape Town nestled at the foot of the Constantia Mountain range with the benefit of being in such a great central location that you are able to access the central business district, most of the major events hosted in the greater area and all the unique beauty Africa has to offer saving precious holiday hours that would have otherwise been lost to travel. The cottage itself is minutes walk from the sought after Constantia Village Shopping Centre and its popular restaurants and shopping varying from high-end to traditional, hand-made souvenirs. Outdoor living: Within minutes from your cottage you are able to relax at one of the 1st rate golf courses nearby or enjoy Cape cuisine and internationally acclaimed wines at some of South Africa’s best fine dining restaurants and wine farms. If you’d rather, you could go for a spot of surfing, SUP, sun worshipping or even hang out with African penquins and their chicks on the beach all day. Otherwise, enjoy a day outing at a National Park or Safari Park with breathtaking views to spot some local wildlife and beautiful local plantlife.
