Nicht wie erwartet
Die Beschreibung der Wohnung versprach diverse Gegenstände und Annehmlichkeiten, die vor Ort nicht vorhanden waren. So haben wir uns bei einem fast vierwöchigen Urlaub auch wegen der Waschmaschine, die als vorhanden angegeben wurde, für das Cottage entschieden. Die war aber nicht vorhanden, so dass wir uns einen Waschsalon suchen mussten. Auch eine Klimaanlage, beim afrikanischen Sommer auch Grundlage, war nicht wie angegeben vorhanden. Andere Dinge wie Garage, Geschirrspüler usw. sind auch nicht da. Die derzeitige Beschreibung ist also mit Vorsicht zu genießen. Auch die 105 Quadratmeter sind lächerlich - wir gehen von allerhöchstens der Hälfte aus. Insgesamt war die Wohnung zwar bewohnbar, aber es zeigten sich doch in allen Ecken deutliche Abnutzungsspuren. An Fliesen, Badamaturen, Decken und Wänden zeigtesich deutlicher Renovierungsbedarf. Das Bad war bei unserer Ankunft offensichtlich nicht geputzt, Waschbecken und Badewanne waren schmutzig. Zwar gab es dreimal die Woche "Roomservice", dabei wurde das Bad aber nicht ein einzigstes Mal gereinigt. Der Wohnraum mit Kochnische war nicht sonderlich gemütlich. Das Sofa war alt und unbequem, es gab keinen richtigen Tisch, an dem man gemütlich sitzen oder essen konnte. Das Schlafzimmer war in Ordnung und bot ausreichend Stauraum und ein bequemes Bett. Lediglich die Sauberkeit ließ auch hier zu wünschen übrig. Insgesamt nicht schlimm, aber wir würden das Cottage auch kein zweites Mal mehr buchen. Die Vermieterin hatte unsere Restzahlung von Fewo-direkt noch nicht erhalten und beschäftigte uns mehrmals damit, obwohl wir die Bezahlung belegt hatten - aus unserer Sicht nicht gerade gastfreundlich.

Hazardous parking situation
The parking situation at the property is hazardous. The parking area is awkward and tight, so much so that on November 1st 2016, our first evening at the property, while we were in the cottage, one of the property owners backed into our rental car damaging the front bumper. He provided us with his insurance information so we left the property with the understanding his insurance would cover our financial damages. When after repeated attempts to follow up with both the insurance company and the owner, without compensation, we initiated a complaint with HomeAway. For a few weeks they seemed to be actively perusing a resolution after making excuses that the holidays were hindering their efforts. We again requested information from them mid January and have not received a response. We understand accidents happen and with the expectation our losses would be reimbursed we didn’t mention the event in our first review of the property. However, it is unconscionable for an owner to carelessly and negligently damage a guest’s property and fail to make restitution. We feel an obligation to disclose this to potential guests.

About the host

Host profile image
I love the Cape there is no place like it in the world and I have had the previledge of travelling to many Countries. It certainly does have everything. A twenty minute drive and you out in the Country. I love the mountains, walking, photography, art, theatre, dance, tennis, golf, pilates, yoga. In general the outdoor activities that Cape Town has to offer of which there are many.

Why they chose this property

Exceptional value for money. Quiet, secure and secluded Suburb and yet quick access to all amenities and tourist attractions in the Cape. I have always enjoyed living in Cape Town and especially in Kenilworth as we don't loose the sun as quickly as some of our other suburbs. It is so diverse and has a lot to offer for all traveller's being so centrally situated. I do hope that I can live in my beautiful home as long as life will allow me to. When travelling abroad I long for my home and can't be away from it for longer than two weeks as this is my haven and special sanctuary. I feel at peace here. I have lived in the Cape for 39 years after living in many of our other Provinces, but there is nothing to beat it!

What makes this property unique

Easy access to all Tourist interests. The Cottage #4245303 is one level. Lovely Mountain & garden views. Use of large under cover patio and pool facing the Mountain. Pool in full sun all day. We have high white walls with 10/8 strand electric fencing all around our property. Yours and our security is important to us. Secure parking in our grounds for two cars. We are very centrally located to all highways for access to major highways and access to Cape Town City center, Waterfront, all beaches, vineyards, Kirstenbosch Gardens, Hospitals, Rehab Centers, Table mountain, picnic areas, viewing the penguins, shark diving, game reserves, theatre, golf courses, the world of birds, bird watching, easy and difficult walks, fields of spring flowers, restaurants to cater for all tastes, cinema, magnificent drives all around the Peninsula, including Champman's Peak and Cape Point, both surfing and kite surfing and many more place of interest. That is why Cape Town is such a beautiful city for all tourists to visit. There are so many different interesting sites to see and visit. Too many for just one holiday!!
