90 guests' feedbackThe Garden Cottage is fantastic, the owner is very helpful. The photo of the Garden Cottage is exactly how it is. I slept very well, the bathroom is very nice, the big bed is wonderful.
Annemarie was friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome upon arrival. The place is beautiful, stylish and peaceful. Thank you very much, we will visit again.
What a pleasure and privilege to be able to stay here for 2 nights. Warm and friendly welcome. Everything was super clean, tidy and comfortable! This lady knows how to make everything as nice as possible for her guests! We will definitely stay there again and we will tell all our friends about this beautiful place!
We had a wonderful stay in luxury.
We will definitely visit again, it's so neat, clean and beautiful. My husband and I really enjoyed it, we were welcomed with open arms, and we immediately felt at home. The kindness itself, and received us kindly, even though we arrived very late, because we drove from Upington. We highly recommend this place, and if my husband and I come alone to Durbanville again we will stay here.
Very nice. Thank you very much, everything, everything was perfect, thank you for your hospitality. Bless you.
What a little paradise. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you, your place is beautiful and I will definitely come again. Everything you need is there and more.
Very nice stay. Everything is well furnished, neat and clean. Owner, is a real heart person.
What a lovely stay, thank you. What is there not to like about The Garden Cottage? Absolutely nothing.
Very nice. Will stay there again.
The decor of The Garden Cottage is exceptional. The unit is very well equipped with everything needed, plus little extra details that made our stay so comfortable. I can really recommend The Garden Cottage. Durbanville is also very centrally located to visit all the surrounding wine farms and towns, with good restaurants and shops in the area.
Luxury en suite room with very high quality fittings.
It is clear that this guest suite is Annemarie's pride and joy. Everything is stylish, of the highest quality and she has catered for every possible need of her guests. We had a wonderful stay!
Everything was perfect. Only small thing is that in winter the bathroom is freezing cold. The room and facilities are beautiful and there is much more than you expect. Great!
Very comfortable and can recommend to anyone. To spend the night there.
Our stay at The Garden Gottage was a wonderful experience. Home away from home. From the moment we stopped there we felt welcome. "The Garden Cottage" is located in a beautiful quiet area with tree-rich garden and the "Cottage" is equipped with so much taste and style, love and care. From the smallest detail, needed nothing that wasn't there. Clean, tidy and very comfortable. Quiet environment where you can sit in the garden and drink coffee and hear no traffic regardless of the fact that the shopping center and eateries are just down the street. Thank you very much, we will certainly visit The Garden Cottage again and can highly recommend the property.
Fine detail and particularly clean and tidy. The host and wife were the best! We will definitely not stay anywhere else when we go to Kaastad again.
Our one-night stay at The Garden Cottage was just what we needed to re-charge. Close to our early appointment the next morning. Annemarie is the most wonderful, friendly host and the venue is so tranquil in a lovely leafy suburb. Her cottage decor is tastefully done we just loved it!
Beautiful, neat, clean and modern unit with everything needed. Calm and quiet environment. Annamarie made us feel so welcome and helped where she could.
We missed a trash can in the sleeping-dining area (maybe just didn't notice).
Absolutely fantastic hostess. Wonderful stay. So peaceful, clean and safe. Will definitely stay here again.
The Garden Cottage is a private cottage with everything you need. The decor is tasteful, and there is a lovely garden where you can barbecue and watch the squirrels, beautiful! Annemarie and Andre are super hospitable.
Friendly reception, neat and quiet.
Very friendly hostess who made a lot of effort for us.
The Cottage is on its own, the nice shade trees and the beautiful green garden are what one needs with the busy life. Annemarie's service is excellent, she makes you feel so welcome. It is 100% safe. Everything is pretty clean. We will definitely be back.
The cottage is fully equipped with all amenities and situated in a very peaceful, safe environment. The owner is very hospitable and we will definitely be back.
The Garden Cottage is a Durbanville must-stay. My husband and I were welcomed with open arms and received excellent service from the owner during our stay. The Garden Cottage overlooks a large, beautiful green lawn and garden. What a "gem". The unit is private and cozy with a king size bed that made us feel like we were sleeping on clouds. The large TV is equipped with all channels as well as Netflix. There is a fireplace heater for the biting cold as well as a cooling system for the hot days. The kitchen is equipped with everything one needs for self-catering. There is a lovely, large bath and fantastic shower. One of my top places to visit ever. A home away from home. An unbeatable experience!
If I could give 6 stars, I would. The owners went out of their way to make one's stay pleasant. The finishes are luxurious. The place is clean and tidy. Quality bedding. The room has everything you can think of. Some of the big stuff like a dishwasher, oven, aircon, bath, WiFi etc. down to the smallest detail like a sewing kit in the closet. No effort is too much and you are even spoiled with extras such as fruit, a 2L milk and a container of hot chocolate.
What a great experience. Everything is luxurious and comfortable. We were welcomed with open arms and treated like royalty. The environment is also safe and beautiful. N.S. the fireplace was a bonus.
Very neat. Will recommend.
Quiet area. Close to facilities.
Friendly people! Excellent location.
Very nice garden. Peaceful and relaxing. Friendly owners.
The hostess, Annemarie welcomed us cheerfully. The accommodation was shown to us with small luxuries such as chocolates, cookies, different tea and coffee types to choose from. Accommodation is in quiet, safe surroundings.
Recommend for everyone!
Had a great time, will stay there again soon.
André, the host, and his dog, a Labrador, Sammy, welcomed us kindly. We were impressed with all the detail in the cottage, it is of high quality. The accommodation was first class.
Thank you Annemarie and Andre, your spontaneous kindness, helpfulness and pampering were the best of our website experience. Nothing was too much trouble. We look forward to a next time.
Will definitely visit the Garden Cottage again.
The Garden Cottage is located in a very peaceful, beautiful environment. If the Cape offers its rain and wind it is warm and cuddly, if the Cape offers its sunshine, the garden and cheerful furniture are a delight. The kitchen is very well equipped for the visitor who does not feel like going out. The Garden Cottage is full of that extra pampering that Annemarie puts in to make your stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. It's very neat and tasteful.
The Garden Cottage is very beautiful, neat and well equipped. Annemarie is very nice, she immediately made us feel very welcome. I would highly recommend the place.
Definitely the best, everything top quality.
Peaceful and quiet with wonderful hosts!
Beautiful cottage and definitely value for money. Very private with your own garden. Would definitely recommend The Garden Cottage.
It's never fun when you go to places and you wonder whether any bugs are going to climb out anywhere or you need basic things because the places are so poorly equipped. Here it is the opposite. Feel at home, everything is neat and clean and the place is fully equipped with quality furniture, linen and accessories, as one would expect at your home. We really did need anything else and regret that we were out all the time and could not have spent more time at the house. The kids were enjoying the hummingbirds and the garden terribly as we ate breakfast outside under the tree.
I felt surrounded by care and love in this home. The hosts spared no expense to make us feel at home. Lovely soft blankies and throws. French style with a touch of Cape. Serene garden with beautiful birds. I stayed with my husband and 22 year old son. He enjoyed the loft tremendously. Centrally located in the Durbanville wine route. A real gem. Don't go to Stellenbosch, try the winelands in Durbanville. You will be so surprised! Thank you to our friendly hosts. We will be back. God bless!
We were tired after 3 weeks of driving around and visiting friends and family in South Africa. Ideal resting place and piece of Eden to rest before our 34 hour journey back to Toronto. Thank you very much!
We travel a lot - also abroad - and The Garden Cottage really was one of the most comfortable and beautiful apartments we have ever stayed in. Firstly, communication and arrangements with André and Annemarie were very easy and they are great hosts who go out of their way to make you comfortable. The house is perfectly equipped, painfully clean and tidy with particular emphasis on detail and comfort. We really liked the beautiful garden and garden furniture and had a wonderful time relaxing on the veranda. The apartment is secluded and private and located close to shops and main roads. We can really recommend this place to stay and will definitely stay there again if we come to the Cape.
Was away for a weekend but could have stayed another week. Everything was just right.
Outstanding accommodation, tasteful and stylish. Fully equipped with quality, comfort and convenience.
Thank you Annemarie! You're going to have to look far and wide to find such friendliness and a beautiful guesthouse. Very well equipped, spacious and neat. You will definitely see us again.
Incredibly well equipped with just the most beautiful decor.
Loved the hot water bottle in bed. Thank you.
Stunning, comfortable place to stay at with everything you need. Highly recommended.
Was lovely to stay there. There is everything that is needed. Will definitely want to stay there again in the future.
The clean lovely soft bedding, the beautifully maintained cottage and garden clearly show a loving hand and one can't help but immerse and dizzy in the birdsong early in the morning and the blissful feeling of warmth and care that floods the whole place. Would love to hide there for 3 months, or as the young people say these days ─ they "take a gap year".
This was the best neat guest house I have ever been to. You will not find cleaner anywhere. The garden was peaceful with the most beautiful furniture. I recommend it, you won't regret it.
We had a lovely stay in The Garden Cottage. The self-catering unit is picture perfect with a beautiful garden where we relaxed peacefully. The Garden Cottage is very centrally located and hospitality was very special.
Owners very friendly and helpful! Accommodation excellent! Location for my purposes was also perfect. I regularly visit Durbanville to visit my mother - usually just an "impromptu" decision and then stay where accommodation is available. From now on I'll check if the Garden Cottage is available first and then arrange my visits accordingly! Thank you Annemarie and André- I was spoiled!
Beautifully and tastefully furnished, and very secure. It feels more like home than guest house. It really is a place that I can and will recommend with the utmost confidence.
We really enjoyed our stay here! It's quiet, safe, so beautiful and just blissful. Will definitely stay there again!
See stars,
Andre and Annamarie makes you feel at home right away. The cottage is neatly furnished and has a warm and homely feel. Will definitely go there again. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Neat, clean and convenient. Very beautifully decorated and well-equipped. Nice and private with own garden.
Owners very friendly and helpful. Received a lot of love and support and will return home there.
We loved our stay at The Garden Cottage, as always. We never stay at any other place when we visit Cape Town. It's central, yet very tranquil and peaceful. It's beautifully decorated, neat and clean. Affordable, yet beautiful and the owners are very friendly and warm, without interfering too much.
Friendly hospitality. Lovely luxury cottage with a warm homely feel with all the finer details imaginable around every corner. I'm sorry I had to stay so short, but I will definitely book a longer stay at The Garden Cottage if I have the opportunity again.
Beautiful, extremely clean and tidy! Lovely owners. We will definitely stay here again!
I had a lovely stay in the Garden Cottage. It is a charming, beautiful place that appeals to all your senses and is invigorating for the soul. The owners are very friendly and helpful and I especially appreciate the attention to the finer details. This is truly a place that I can recommend with the utmost confidence.
The owners are very friendly and helpful, it is a beautiful place and very comfortable. I can see they went through a lot of trouble and paid attention to detail and kept the comfort of the guests in mind. It was our fist visit to Durbanville, will never stay anywhere else.
We had the best time staying at The Garden Cottage. The cottage was spotless and extremely well presented with beautiful French decor throughout. The owners were also very accommodating. Will definitely be staying there again!
Very stylish! Great host and wife!
Includes a nice spacious garden with braai facilities.
Very centrally situated and very cozy accommodation.
Defnislist recommended! From Day 1 upon arrival and upon our departure on Day 7 there was a "Warm, homely, spirit-filled atmosphere". Maybe one day we will buy shares in The Garden Cottage!
Excellent service, location and very private. Owner really very helpful.
Annemarie gave us a warm welcome. Accommodation was beautiful and very neat. The garden is a paradise. Would definitely stay there again.
The owners were very friendly and accommodating. I had to cancel two nights and they accommodated me at short notice.
Was unbelievably nice. Such a beautiful place. Very safe.
The cottage is tastefully decorated and well-equipped and the garden creates a tranquil atmosphere away from the busy city, perfect for relaxing.
Furnished tastefully, convenient, safe, home away from home, beautiful garden, kitchen, bathroom, rooms and living area fully equipped with all of the amenities that you need. Thank you André and Annemarie for a lovely experience - wish we could stay longer. Highly recommended!
We enjoyed our stay in the peaceful cottage a lot. Andre and Annemerie's hospitality made us feel very at home. The place manages to make you feel at home away from home. Will definitely make use of their facility again. Oh, and then there is Sam, what a happy dog! Looking forward to our next visit!
Thank you for luxurious accommodation and hospitality. We will definitely visit again!
Fantastic service and owners!
The host was very accommodating and warm. The accommodation had lots of extra spoils, was absolutely beautiful, clean, safe and fully equipped. Could not ask for more - was an experience never to be forgotten. A place to be recommended to all!
There is a lovely clever and well-mannered dog.
We were looking for a place to just get some rest, where no one could find us, with our daughter and grandchild who had to leave the next day for Australia. But where in Cape Town? We were so blessed to be able to rent The Garden Cottage for one night! A fantastically well furnished, peaceful atmosphere and 2 hospitable owners, Annemarie and Andre who spoiled us from arrival to departure. Thanks you guys! The garden is laid out so beautifully and so green and colourful that we as a family had such a nice little personal photo booth! We didn't notice the noisy traffic, but could listen to all the birds who became our friends in the beautiful garden where our grandsons could play. Thanks again! The farm people now know where to go when the opportunity arises. The hospital and prompt door to door food delivery service closeby was a big plus.
Our group of 5 guests came from different directions for a get-together. The Garden Cottage was perfectly situated. Close to doctors and restaurants. The cottage was well equipped ─ very warm bedding! The host and hostess made us feel at home and went out of their way to offer us extras. Thanks so much!
This is a more than we could every have wished for! Our hosts were fantastic and hope to stay over every time we visit Durbanville. This is a gem!
The Garden Cottage is nice and central, with everything of high quality. The owners are professional and pleasant. I would love to visit there again with my family. Centrally located, neat and clean, everything of high quality with friendly, genuine owners.
