I live in a quiet valley surrounded by mountains in the Cape Winelands area, just a short drive from Cape Town with my husband Dudley, 2 teenage boys and 2 dogs. It's a spacious 6 bedroom double-storey house, beautifully set with a swimming pool and large balcony with a BBQ area overlooking the lovely mountains.
Our house has large living areas with a spacious entertainment area with inside BBQ area and bar. We have a large kitchen with scullery and dining area, separate laundry room, extra TV room with fireplace and large private garden area with swimming pool and large lawn area for possible camping. Free Wi-fi.
Our house has a cottage-style look with a large front porch with a veranda.
We're close to towns with a good selection of fine restaurants and wine tasting farms. Shuttling services are offered by us. We're outdoor fanatics and will gladly take you on interesting hiking trails and outings.
Additional Info
Our Home language is English, but we speak Afrikaans as well. We have ample car parking space.
