Description from owner

Description

Majini, which means ‘On The Water’ in Swahili, offers a choice of 3 fully-equipped self-catering cottages, all situated in a beautiful garden setting in the Constantia Valley, just 20 minutes from the centre of Cape Town.

Enjoy easy access to the legendary Constantia Wine Route, 5* restaurants, Table Mountain, Cape Point, internationally-renowned Kirstenbosch Gardens, world class golf courses, the V & A Waterfront, and so much more!

Each cottage has full use of the extensive garden and pool, its own Weber braai and patio, sun loungers and umbrellas.

All cottages enjoy free WiFi, TV, Sound System, DSTV (full bouquet extra), on-site secure parking, personal safe, panel heaters, pool towels, regular servicing, and laundry facilities. Use of the small gym facilities in the main house can be arranged by appointment.

Suzy wants to make sure that you settle in quickly and complimentary provisions and a bottle of wine are provided to help you achieve just that!

The Gallery is indicative of Suzy's eclectic taste in art, with a range of paintings and prints collected from many parts of the world!

It has one bedroom with a queen size bed, and en suite shower/loo.

The comfortable sitting room has 2 generous sofas and a wing back chair. This area opens on to the private patio, with table and chairs, umbrella, and Weber braai. The patio itself looks over the garden and pool area.

There is a fully equipped kitchen, with stove, microwave, fridge freezer and all normal amenities.

The dining area is furnished with an antique walnut suite, and seats 6 in comfort.

If you want to enjoy a DVD or CD during the evening, Suzy has a very large collection, and you are sure to find something to suit all tastes!

Parking for The Gallery is immediately outside the cottage.
