Fantastic Stay!
Really loved our stay at Guinea Fowl cottage! Spacious, very comfortable- our whole family had a lovely time. Kitchen very well stocked, location was perfect for us to get into both Cape Town and Stellenbosch over two days. We left for safari but would have happily stayed longer. We are all light sleepers and the quiet was perfect. Kids slept 12 hours.. Nozi the housekeeper checked on us each day and kindly answered our questions. Bibie the owner was fantastic. Will definitely come to stay on our next visit!

What a stunning place.....as I am a "city boy"😀 my wife had to persuade me to stay in lovely but a bit quiet Constania 😒😅. But so thankful that she did. Bibies place is awesome and she is such a nice host. Super communication and helpful with a mistake of the plattform with the booking. Also super convinient to go to Kirstenbosch using the upper(!) entrance, you nearly can walk there. Super convinient for the Sunday concerts in Kirstenbosch which are highly recommended.

Great stay in Constantia!
We stayed for a week at this property. It is super conveniently located near all the wineries in Constantia. Great hiking just a hop, skip and a jump away at Cecilia hiking trail. The pool was great as well. The owner was always reachable and was accommodating even when we had an issue with the AC. Place was super clean and we felt very secure during our stay. Highly recommend for a nice relaxing getaway near Cape Town - but still very central to some key attractions.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Cape Town and the beautiful and green Constantia area. We bought the property in 2012 and made a lots of changes to build an enchanting child friendly and eco place. The property is ideally located on Rhodes drive in the Constantia wine valley.
"Rhodes Drive is a 7 km mountain drive along the eastern slopes of the Table Mountain range and connects Constantia Nek in the south with the suburb of Newlands. This is one of the most scenic wooded drives on the Cape Peninsula and traverses some of the plush suburbs of the Southern Peninsula. It is also the only access road to the world famous Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. From dense indigenous forests, to towering old pine trees, majestic mountains, hiking trails, picnic spots and world class botanical gardens - it's all there along the wonderful Rhodes Drive" (cf. southafricamountainpasses).

What makes this property unique

The property has beautiful mountain view, is very well protected from the wind (which can be a nightmare elsewhere in Cape Town) and has a wonderful and colourful garden, a paradise for birds and butterflies. We have 2 massive and very old trees (an avocado which produces tons of delicious fruits all year long and a yellowwood ) and more than 20 different varieties of fruit and nut trees. Everything that grows in our garden is organic, from the grass and the flowers to the fruits and vegetables.
