There are two marble-top kitchens, which are fully equipped for guests' convenience. The upstairs kitchen is available to guests for storing food and preparing meals, and guests can use the dining table to gather around for a cosy dinner, a relaxing drink, or even a game of cards. 

An honesty bar, well stocked with drinks and snacks, and complimentary tea and coffee are also available for guests' enjoyment.

Grounds & Gardens

Indigenous fynbos, specific to the mountainous regions of the Cape, attracts a wealth of insect and birdlife to the enchanting garden. The owner's interest in and collecting of butterflies, has grown into a wider awareness of the intricate relationships between plant, insect and animal life. 

The guesthouse is situated in close proximity to a wide variety of excellent shops and restaurants, and a two-minute drive from the beach. 

Muizenberg is a half-hour drive from the city centre and twenty minutes from the airport. There are wonderful tourist destinations in close proximity, such as the Cape Point Nature Reserve, the penguins at Boulders Beach, Simons Town Naval Base and many more.
