Stay away
I waited outside for 30 minutes, but nobody was around and I was unable to check in. They still charged me, after I explained the situation. Now they are not communicating, either with me or Hotels.com. Seems like dishonest people, so I would recommend to stay away.

Perfect location with quality accommodation
We booked the accommodation for 3 nights as my father was staying nearby in Somerset West. It was absolutely perfect for us. The location was convenient for the N2, but in a very quiet, safe & secluded area. There is lovely garden to sit and relax and the room and ensuite was to a very high standard. Our hosts were charming and it is somewhere we would definitely stay again.

閑静な住宅街にあるゲストハウス
到着時間の連絡ミスとゲストハウスの方の急用が重なったのか、、到着した時にゲストハウスの方が居ませんでした。でも他のゲストの方の親切で、プールサイドの木陰で待つことができました。客室は清潔なミニキッチンが付いて他ので便利でした。
