Description from owner

Description

Room size: 32 m² . Fireplace. French doors open onto the lavender garden; side window view onto rose garden. Extra length double bed; good quality extra depth mattress, cotton percale linen, unicurl duvet+ mohair blanket. Flat screen television, DVD player. Free WiFi.

This authentic Cape Georgian house (circa 1861) sympathetically restored as a boutique B&B, targeting guests with an appreciation for gardens and history. Desmond is at the helm of the garden and Philda runs the guest house– assisted by Elize. At Fairview the food is home-made and often home-grown, sourced from our own garden and we keep our own chickens for the freshest of eggs. In recognition of our responsibility to the environment we also use 'green' products for housekeeping, laundry and cleaning.

Interaction with guest
