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!

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.

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.

Traumhaft schönes Anwesen in bester Lage
Als Kurzfassung: Alle Erwartungen wurden übertroffen! Der Standort befindet sich in aller bester Lage in Constantia. Die luxuriöse Villa und Cottages fügen sich harmonisch und majestätisch in den überaus gepflegten und schönem Parkareal ein. Sauberkeit auf höchstem Niveau war auf dem Grundstück und Cottage vorzufinden. Die Einrichtung in unserem Cottage war sehr schön und modern. Die Küchenausstattung perfekt, es fehlte an nichts. Der Reinigungsservice von der immer lächelnden Noosi und Ihrem Team hat uns zu Hause fühlen lassen. Allgemeine Wünsche, ob am Pool oder im Hause wurden stets erfüllt. Bibbie ist ein grossartiger Host, die mit Ihrer großen und sehr herzlichen Gastfreundschaft uns den Abschied sehr schwer gemacht hat. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und hoffen auf ein baldiges Wiedersehen „egal wo auf der Welt“! Herzliche Grüße an das gesamte Team Susie und Stefan
