Frequently asked questions
About the host
Your host
We’re Rutger and Chantelle, longtime locals of Somerset West who love the outdoors, family time, and the relaxed rhythm of life on the greenbelt. I grew up just minutes from this home, and after years of living and working abroad, we chose to return to raise our family in the place that has always felt like home.
We enjoy hosting because it lets us share the best of our area — the wine farms, the mountain walks, the beaches, and the quiet nature right on our doorstep. Our style is easygoing and respectful: we give guests space to enjoy the home privately, but we’re always nearby if you need local recommendations or help with anything during your stay.

Why they chose this property
We chose Parel Vallei because it offers the best of Somerset West in one place — quiet streets, lots of trees, and direct access to the greenbelt, all while being just minutes from wine farms, beaches, shops, and schools. It’s a peaceful, family-oriented area with beautiful mountain views and a relaxed, safe feel. We love the sense of space here, the birdlife, and how easy it is to get outdoors, whether it’s a walk in the nature reserve or a quick drive to the coast. It’s a neighborhood that feels calm and private, but still close to everything you might need during your stay.
What makes this property unique
The setting is what truly makes this home stand out. It sits on a private pan-handle along the greenbelt, so you get a quiet, secluded feel with beautiful views of the Helderberg mountains. The combination of the large garden, the open pool with safety net, and the covered braai patio creates an easy indoor–outdoor lifestyle that’s hard to find. Guests often comment on how peaceful it is — plenty of space, natural light, and privacy, yet still close to wine farms, beaches, and everything Somerset West has to offer.
