Nicht so toll, wie beschrieben
Wegen einer nicht näher beschriebenen " inconvenience" wurden wir in die umgebaute Garage, genannt " cottage" verfrachtet. Die netten Appartments mit Dachterasse standen leer. Da die Heizkörper wie Flachbild-TV an der Wand hingen und der Boden gefliesst ist, sind wir halb erfroren. Vor jedem der Fenster ist Sicht auf das 3m entfernte Haupthaus. Also lässt man die Vorhänge besser zu. Die Waschmaschine ist direkt hinter dem Kopfende des "Elterschlafzimmer" und ab 8.00 wird Krach gemacht. Insgesamt sehr hellhörig. Kein WiFi, da die Wände zu dick seien ... Und ohne Auto und Navi ist man aufgeschmissen. Lodge steht mitten in einem Meer von kleinen Häusern mit kleinen Gärten. Keine Anhaltspunkte. Meer mit Auto ca. 5 Min. , nächste Einkaufsmöglichkeit ca. 10-15 Min. entfernt. Restaurants ebenfalls weit weg. Ort ist unschön. Würde nicht mehr dirthin gehen. Eher Muizenberg oder Stellenbosch. Kochgelegenheit sehr unpraktisch, v. a. nicht für 4 Personen geeignet. Ausser man "kocht" mit der kleinen Microwelle. Im Sommer viell. besser, da man vor der "Garage" und seinem Auto sitzen und grillen kann. Es gibt sicher bessere Unterkünfte in der Gegend.
