Nov 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very clean, comfortable and cosy. Our family of four stayed here for four nights. The owners were there to greet us and to give us an introduction to the facility. We instantly noted the impeccable tidiness and equipment of the house. Everything worked as it should. There was plenty of space for everyone and lots of storage for clothes and luggage. The garden with the clean pool was nicely done and offered lots of privacy. It was very peaceful and secure both in the house and in the garden. Supermarkets and restaurants are close, but you need a car. Everything you want to see in the Cape region is easy to reach by car. The whole package was very pleasant, practical and well worth the price. For the sunbathers: the garden and the pool area are sunny in the morning but shadowed in the afternoon by the surrounding mountains. Still, this house gets 5 star and a full recommendation from us! ##### Jarkko H. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ilka O.

The only complaint we had was that it was advertised as having air conditioning. Not so. There was 1 portable unit that we needed to fill up with water and it was not all that effective. It is not a built in air conditioning system. The cottage gets very hot especially upstairs. The private pool area, BBQ area is all great! ##### Sandra W.

Dans une zone très sécuritaire idéalement située à 45 minutes du centre ville. Le cottage est tres bien décorée tres bien équipée ,Les lits sont très confortable On est .entouré de haies de 4 à 5 mètres de haut.il n’ y a plus de soleil à partir de 16 h sur la piscine.La cuisine est petite l’escalier qui mène à l’étage très raide,.Les 2 chambres sont tres grandes l’une au dessus de l’autre avec un plancher de bois donc sans insonorisation sonore. La maison n’est pas ventillée et humide,il n’y a pas d’air climatisée et pas de moustiquaire seulement une base portative dans la chambre sous les combles ( sans rideaux occultant )donc il faut choisir avoir chaud ou être mangé par les moustiques.

The cottage is exactly as it appears in the photos and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. It’s in a lovely neighbourhood and we found it to be a great location for exploring Cape Town and it’s surroundings. We would love to come back and stay again!

Perfectly located near Constantia and close to lots of lovely restaurants. Would highly recommend and hope to stay again very soon. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicola R. Jan 9, 2019 #### Gorgeous cottage, perfect location, fabulous hosts We have just arrived back home and are missing Almondbury Cottage already. And well who wouldn't? The cottage is perfectly situated in Zwaanswyk in the Constantia winelands and so within very easy reach of Cape Town. Whether you want to visit the penguins at Boulders Beach, have a sundowner in Hout Bay or have an evening out in Cape Town, Diana and Robert's Cottage is the perfect base for your holiday. We have been coming to Cape Town for about 20 years and have previously stayed in high end hotels in the area, but finally decided to take the plunge and have our own 'home from home' for this our most recent 2-week trip. And we couldn't have found the most perfect place in Almondbury Cottage. The property is exactly as you see in the pictures - beautifully styled with contemporary furnishings. It is really very secluded with its own beautiful garden and pool and Diana and Robert couldn't have been more perfect hosts. Everything is provided for you from plentiful towels, including towels for the sunbeds and you are just a stone's throw away from local shops, coffee shops and restaurants. Diana was also enormously helpful with our pre-holiday preparations, accommodating all our requests, and responding quickly with a really solution-oriented approach - I felt I knew her already even before we had met! As other reviewers have noted you MUST also try Diana and Robert's ice cream - the chocolate is definitely not to be missed! I would not hesitate to recommend Almondbury Cottage and really hope we have the opportunity to stay their again on our next visit to Cape Town. ##### Nicola R.

Nov 13, 2018 #### Traumurlaub startet in einer Traumlocation :-) Ausstattung wie beschrieben, Unterkunft ist perfekt sauber und mit liebevollen Details abgestimmt, das Haus ist alarmgesichert. Trotz sehr später Ankunft wurden wir herzlich begrüßt durch die Vermieterin. "Insidertips" um den Urlaub sinnvoll zu planen wurden gerne gegeben. Garten und Pool laden ein, den Urlaub in der Unterkunft zu verbringen, aber das sollte man nicht .. denn Kapstadt und Umgebung ist unwahrscheinlich schön. Statt dem Tafelberg solte man Signal Hill besuchen,da von dort ein genialer Blick auf Tafelberg und Kapstadt "von oben" möglich ist. Ebenso ein Ausflug nach Hermanus zu den Whalewatchern entlang der beeindruckenden Küstenstrasse empfehlenswert. Gordon's Bay ist ein verführerischer Strand für ein Picknick, Sonne ,"warmes" Wasser zum Muschel suchen und Salzwasserluft. Bettys Bay .. das zuhause der Pinguine .. sie warten dort in Reih und Glied auf den Fototouristen. Kap der Guten Hoffnung, Camps Bay, Hout Bay und dann zur V&E Waterfront sollte man in sein Programm aufnehmen. Hout Bay/Chapmans Peak gibt eien wundervollen Blick über die Bay, ist aber kein "must have", da die Küstenstrassen die "Toll Free" sind genug schöne Eindrücke vermitteln. Ich kann Almondbury Lodge mit besten Gewissen weiterempfehlen. Herrlich ruhige Lage, absolutes Sicherheitsgefühl für das auch "Bo" sorgt :-) und wir einmal Roberts selbstgemachtes Eis probieren durfte, sollte sich kein anders mehr kaufen, da man geschmacklich nichts besseres finden wird. WENN wieder Kapstadt, dann nur im Almondbury Lodge. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten für Frühstück gibt es "um die Ecke", für Europäer heißt das mind 10 min mit dem Auto, aber Afrika hat eben ander Distanzen :-) Auf diesem Weg nochmals ein herzliches Dankeschön an Diana und Robert "!!!!! ##### Rein K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter K.

Mar 8, 2018 #### Sie fühlen sich vom ersten Tag an wie Zuhause Problemlose Buchung dank der imm er sehr schnellen Antwortzeit durch Diana. Und so "gut aufgehoben" haben wir uns die ganze Zeit während unseres Aufenthalts (immerhin 7 Wochen) gefühlt. Das Haus hatte alles was man zum Ferienleben braucht - von der Einrichtung bis zu den nahen Erholungsgebieten, erleichtertes Auffinden durch Dianas TIps und Hinweise. Kleines "Hochsommer-Manko": es gibt keine Klimaanlage, aber durch die Lage des Hauses in den Bergen und von schattigen großen Bäumen umgeben, wurde das Fehlen gut ausgeglichen. Das Haus war außerordentlich gut gepflegt, hell eingerichtet, der Garten, ebenso der Pool in Topzustand, ein bis zu 4-x wöchentlich agierender Gärtner hielt den Pflegezustand hoch. Auch die vielzitierte Wasserknappheit konnte - bei vernünftiger Nutzung - niemandem schaden. Robert, der ein hervorragendes Eis produziert, hat sich einen eignen Brunnen zugelegt von dem auch das Cottage profitiert. Alles in Allem - Sehr empfehlenswert! ##### Hans-Henning B. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### LiChing L., Dallas, Texas Dec 12, 2017 #### a paradise in a fine neighborhood I would like to give Almondbury Cottage a 6-star rating! 1) The house: It is spotless in every corner! All the amenities in the house have high quality and are well maintained. The mountain view from the master bedroom is priceless! The interior is tastefully decorated. It is surrounded by beautiful manicured landscape with three matured almond trees which had lots of almonds during our stay. There are sun birds and sugar birds come to visit every day. 2) The hospitality: Diana and Robert have the warmest hospitality. They are genuine, generous and always there to help. We will definitely stay with them again like revisiting old friends. 3) The neighborhood: Almondbury Cottage is located in a very fine neighborhood next to a beautiful mountain. We enjoyed hiking around to check out those high-designed properties. ##### LiChing L.

My wife and I wanted a base for our month exploring Cape Town - could not have found a more perfect location! The cottage is a thoroughly modern and very attractive residence with great amenities and appliances - the pool was a special treat for us. Diana and Rob could not have been better hosts - their home is above the cottage area - and they helped us find our way around town with great suggestions for activities. Highly recommended for a stay in Cape Town - easy to get into the town center but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. A great experience overall. ##### Dennis M.

Apr 5, 2017 #### Schöner Urlaub in toller Lage Das Cottage wurde liebevoll renoviert und eingerichtet. Die Lage in den Bergen von Constantia ist ideal. Zu den Weingütern der Gegend mit vielen tollen Restaurants sind es jeweils nur wenige Fahrminuten. Nach Kapstadt sind es nur 20 Fahrminuten, viele schöne Strände sind in der gleichen Zeit erreichbar. Die Vermieter wohnen im Haus nebenan und waren für unsere Fragen stets ansprechbar. Unsere 4-jährige Tochter liebte besonders das selbstgemachte Eis und den Hund Bo! Wir kommen gerne wieder! ##### Britta I. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### T M. Mar 8, 2017 #### Traumhaft... Heaven... Wir haben die Zeit im Almondbury Cottage sehr genossen. Es war fantastisch. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet und sehr schoen eingerichtet. Der Garten plus Pool sind der absolute Hammer, die Gegend absolut sicher und super zentral. Diana und Rob waren sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit. Das von ihnen produzierte Eis ist ein Traum! Absolute Empfehlung fuer einen wunderschönen Urlaub! ##### T M.

Feb 28, 2017 #### Super Ferienhaus in 1A Lage! ein wunderschöner Ort um auszuspannen,- sehr schön gestaltetes, großes Ferienhaus in einer ruhigen Wohngegend. Wir haben abends vom großen Schlafzimmer unter dem Dach die Lichter der Stadt genoßen oder in die Sterne geschaut - außerdem ist wirklich alles vorhanden um einen entspannten Familienurlaub zu verbringen. Sehr, sehr nette Gastgeber- danke für die vielen guten Ideen (Foodmärkte) und das leckere Eis - wir hatten schon davon gelesen, aber es war wirklich das Beste Eis was wir jemals gegessen haben. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohlgefühlt, die Kinder hatten viel Spass und kommen gerne möglichst schnell wieder. ##### jSwpsPYfGevVdX0qhVLCwClGAB1Of6Y6Sw+QESNkkVajiTMYzuOikpugE9AAAAcDBuBgkqhkiG9w0BBwagYTBfAgEAMFoGCSqGSI Y. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Radisson RED V&A Waterfront, Cape Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Hotel-VA-Waterfront-Cape-Town.h18644202.Hotel-Information) > > [Oude Werf Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Oude-Werf-Hotel.h2720474.Hotel-Information) > > [Poets Cove Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Pender-Island-Hotels-Poets-Cove-Resort-Spa.h1077150.Hotel-Information) > > [The Onyx Apartment Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Onyx-Apartment-Hotel.h28825118.Hotel-Information) > > [The Commodore Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Commodore-Hotel.h83744.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Langley](https://www.expedia.ca/Langley-Hotels.d8530.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-AC-Hotel-By-Marriott-Cape-Town-Waterfront.h29305328.Hotel-Information) > > [Protea Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront Breakwater Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Protea-Hotel-By-Marriott-Cape-Town-Waterfront-Breakwater-Lodge.h663635.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in California](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-California-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d206-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Portswood Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Portswood-VA-Waterfront.h526896.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Tulum - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Tulum-Newly-Renovated.h870784.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Bay-Hotel.h18132.Hotel-Information) > > [One&Only Cape Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-OneOnly-Cape-Town.h2442736.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Dreams-Punta-Cana-Resort-Spa.h1151641.Hotel-Information) > > [Protea Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Sea Point](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Protea-Hotel-By-Marriott-Cape-Town-Sea-Point.h533915.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunsquare Cape Town City Bowl](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-SunSquare-Cape-Town-City-Bowl.h19918386.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-President-Hotel.h526107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Scotiabank Arena](https://www.expedia.ca/Scotiabank-Arena-Hotels.0-l6072449-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel, Cape Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Mount-Nelson.h19437.Hotel-Information) > > [The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Twelve-Apostles-Hotel-And-Spa.h548889.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Cape Town Foreshore](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Cape-Town-Foreshore.h4623642.Hotel-Information) > > [Southern Sun The Cullinan](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Southern-Sun-The-Cullinan.h118030.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Manila (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/mnl/ottawa-to-manila) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mia/toronto-to-miami) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Boston (BOS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/bos/halifax-to-boston) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) ### Packages > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations)
