Lovely peaceful house from which to tour the Cape
The house has a great lay out and all the living space connects together really well.
The area is peaceful and very safe indeed. You can walk to Vergelenen or Erinvale with ease. Short run to the N2 highway. Well alarmed and instructions very clear.
Lovely outdoor space to sit out with plenty of shade and dipping pool to keep cool. Very well equipped. Full DSTV package and surround sound movie zone. Pool table was fun.
Hendrina couldn't have been more helpful and meets you at the beginning and end.
We would certainly book again and recommend to friends. we can't wait to go back - but then we have just bought a house out there ourselves!

Refreshing and peaceful
Wonderful entertaining area. Very peaceful - enclosed garden and very private. Felt very safe with a good security system and Henri made us feel at home and comfortable - very helpful. I would recommend it to my friends and family. When visiting the Cape again - which is very likely with family there - we would love to stay there again if available.

the privacy in the garden and the shadow from the trees
The service we received by Henri and Nico was outstanding, available at any time during 24 hours.
The home is cosy but due for renovation mainly the carpets.
The kitchen is extremely large and very convenient when you have guests.
The location is great, especially for golfers and very close to the shopping centers as well.

About the neighborhood
Somerset West, South Africa is approximately 30 km from the city of Cape Town. Lying close to the coast and next to the Helderberg Nature Reserve, there are plenty of reasons to embark on a Somerset West holiday at any time of year.
Visitors on a Somerset West holiday will discover that there are plenty of things to see and do in the town, which is why it is a popular destination for so many travellers. As well as activities such as swimming, golf, tennis, horse riding and hiking in the nearby Helderberg Nature Reserve, it is recommended that those on a Somerset West holiday take the time to visit the magnificent Vergelegen.
This is a wine farm which dates back to the 18th century and has been restored to its former Cape Dutch style glory. The farm still produces wines and if visiting Vergelegen during the winter months, be sure not to miss the “Carols by Candlelight” event which is held every year. This event sees visitors being invited to bring a picnic, a blanket to spread over the immaculate lawn of the house and a torch to see the beautiful stars as everyone joins in with some soothing carol singing.
Should you feel the need to leave your Somerset West holiday rental house for the day and explore the surrounding area, then it is worth heading south to the town of L’Agulhas. Not only is L’Agulhas the most southerly town in the whole of the country, the coast at L’Agulhas is known as the “Cape of Storms”, probably referring to the number of ships that have being wrecked around its jagged coastline. The town is home to the second oldest working lighthouse in South Africa, as well as the interesting Bredasdorp Shipwreck Museum which houses pieces of many vessels which have succumbed to the turbulent seas in this area.
Somerset West is also near the picturesque Gordon's Bay, the Strand, historical Stellenbosch with all its wine estates, Hermanus (known for whale watching), and much much more!!
Before setting off on holiday it is always nice to know what kind of climate to expect at your chosen destination. Travellers on a Somerset West holiday can expect to experience a Mediterranean climate, which means that there are hot, dry summers and slightly cooler and wetter winters. Through the months of summer (which runs from November to March) is it not unusual to experience daytime temperatures of as much as 29 degrees Celsius. The winter months (from May until July) see the daytime temperature fall to around 19 degrees Celsius during the day. The city as a whole experiences around 19 inches of rainfall per year.
Beginning a wonderful Somerset West holiday is as easy as flying into Cape Town International Airport (CPT) which is just over 20 minutes away from Somerset West. There are a few large international airlines that offer regular, cheap flights to the city such as British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and South African Airways. Passengers will find that they can depart the UK from London Heathrow (LHR).
In the vicinity you will find the Van Ryn Brandy Cellar, lots of wine estates, several large shopping malls, and an abundance of golf courses and restaurants.
