Self catering accommodation in Constantia – Tokai – Cape Town

Wir reisen einmal im Jahr nach Kapstadt und haben auf diesen Reisen viele Unterkünfte gesehen. Seit wir diese Cottage und deren Besitzer kennen gelernt haben, gibt es nichts mehr anderes... read more für uns. Es ist unübertrieben ein Traum von einem Anwesen. Der Standort ist ideal für alles was man in Kapstadt sehen oder unternehmen kann. Die Lage ist perfekt. Der Flughafen, das Stadtzentrum, die Weingebiete als auch die schönsten Strände sind nahe gelegen und einfach erreichbar. Ebenfalls findet man tolle Restaurants und ausgezeichnete Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in unmittelbarer Nähe. Trotzdem ist es eine friedliche, ruhige und sehr sichere Gegend. Die Besitzer Familie schaut sehr zu Ihrer Liegenschaft und dem aussergewöhnlichen Garten. Sie konnten den hohen Level über alle die Jahre halten. Die vier Sterne sind absolut gerechtfertigt! Das Haus ist sauber, sehr gepflegt und es fehlt an nichts. Auch stehen Sie sonst immer mit Rat und Tat zur Seite und informieren über Neues in der Stadt. Falls wieder einmal der Strom ausfallen sollte, gibt es einen leistungsfähigen Generator der sofort gestartet wird.

We had a wonderful, quiet stay. David and Rachael are open, kind and very hospitable. My son has special needs, and the cottage offered a wonderful environment for him to... read more relax and manage a vacation without stress. Transportation is a must. We really enjoyed our stay and getting to know our hosts 🙂

Our family of four had a wonderful 2 week stay with The May family in their beautiful cottage in October/November this year. Nestled in the shade of the mountain above... read more the Steenberg Estate in Tokai, the cottage had everything we needed. The house has a large garden with a jungle gym and plenty of space to roam about (you might bump in to the odd chicken on the walk!). Facilities are great, with a BBQ (braai!) available in the lapa and at the cottage. The house is clean and well looked after, with twice weekly cleaning available if you want it. Wifi is excellent to keep you connected and the property has a generator for those pesky load-shedding moments (I - sadly - had to work for a week of our stay, and was always online when I needed to be, even during load shedding). We loved the pool and lapa area, and our hosts were happy for us to have family around to the cottage (well behaved, of course). Amy the dog kept our youngest entertained, and Snoopy, Peaches and Lilly the cat were most patient with our kids! Shops are a 3 minute drive away at the Steenberg centre, with a selection of local cafes and restaurants (including some good coffee shops!). Slightly further afield is the larger Blue Route Mall, and you have easy access to the whole peninsula. And of course the Constantia Wine Route is on your doorstep - a huge win for us! The May Family are the perfect hosts, making you feel welcome and available when you need them, without being obtrusive - there was regularly an offer of a drink around the pool! We felt really comfortable at the property, and this was amplified by the care David & Rachel took in understanding both our children's additional needs; they were genuinely inquisitive as to how they could be more inclusive to accommodate them. I can't thank them enough for this! Unfortunately we weren't able to take David up on his offer to go out fishing, but we will be in touch when we're back in Cape Town in the new year 🙂 Thank you guys for the warm welcome. Looking forward to catching up again soon!
