Graham was an excellent host and very attentive to our wishes, the house was very spacious and in a lovely neighbourhood.the property had lots of amenities including towels, bedding etc, the pool was a highlight. Our only minor comments would be tired outdoor furniture and intermittent wifi. We would highly recommend this property for a family vacation.

Incredible home - perfect for our family

We were fortunate to spend two months enjoying Graham’s home in Newlands. He was quick to address our minimal concerns and made sure that the home was well cared for throughout our stay with x3/week cleanings and regularly gardening. The home is well designed and laid out. There are many cozy spots in the house, but the sun room with all the doors open is simply the best. Our sons played for hours in the garden and the pool is a great size for exercise and play.
