    Bed was very comfortable, kitchen well equipped, wifi & TV top notch. The solar power supply system meant we didn't notice the ongoing loadshedding - this was really good. Will be back!

The apartment is a self cater ideal for those longer stays as the kitchen is very well equipped. Offering the necessary crockery, pots, pans, cutlery and yes even a pasta maker. as well as a stove with oven, microwave, kettle, toaster, filter coffee machine, French Press coffee filter, dishwasher, fridge with freezer, a clothes washing machine for those longer stays as well as a clothes drying rack for hanging the clothes on. The lounge, kitchen and dining area are open plan with the lounge looking out of a large glass window and door onto the outside sitting area with a view onto the garden and swimming pool. The patio area includes a little braai/barbeque and leads to a heated swimming pool. The view includes the Helderberg and Hottentot Hollands mountains. The bedroom offers a super king size bed and plenty of cupboard space to unpack your clothes in. The bathroom offers a bath with a shower over the bath. We hope you will love the quiet atmosphere and all that Somerset West and the Winelands has to offer.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in our apartment and hope you will enjoy your stay here. Ellen and I (Fritz) enjoy meeting new people and making them comfortable. We also enjoy nature and our pets.
