Wonderful holiday accommodation

My wife and I spent a fabulous 2 weeks at Brown's Cottage in early April. The quiet, secure location in Orchard Village, Lakeside, was ideal, and it made a splendid, convenient base for travel into and around Cape Town. Thr proximity to the vineyards of Constantia, Kirstenbosch Gardens, Hout Bay, Boulder's Beach and Cape Point was perfect for our needs. The property itself is beautifully maintained, and offers everything that one could need - we particularly enjoyed the pool after a hot day's sight-seeing - and the owners were kindness itself in their service. They also came up with plenty of suggestions for places to visit and restaurants to eat at, and provided useful advice on local customs etc. Eating in South Africa is an experience in itself, and we were never disappointed wherever we went, and always at incredibly low prices by UK standards - 10 pounds goes a long way in Cape Town. Petrol prices are also very low, so it was cheap to drive out into the wine areas around Stellenbosch and explore the spectacular mountain scenery. A mere 120 miles took us to the Aquila Game Reserve for a 24-hour encounter with the "Big Five" - an experience to be treasured. All in all we cannot recommend Brown's Cottage highly enough - we were reluctant to leave. Do try it..... Chris and Carolyn
