Description

Tucked away in the quiet village of Milkwood Park, this characterful cottage is the ideal base for exploring the best of Cape Town's southern peninsula. Whether guests are after a quiet escape, a base for hiking and beach days, or a place to braai under the stars, this Sunnydale cottage offers a relaxed, homely stay in one of the peninsula's most peaceful pockets.

The cottage comprises 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, accommodating 4 guests. The 1st bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed, while the 2nd room has 2 single beds. The bathroom is fitted with a shower fixed over the bath.

At the heart of the home is a fully equipped kitchen containing a fridge-freezer, gas stove, oven, toaster, kettle, microwave and dishwasher. The open-plan dining area seats the whole group around a solid wood table, flowing through to a relaxed lounge with a comfortable sofa, garden views, and colourful stained-glass French doors that fill the space with light.

Outside, a covered stoep with a built-in braai is the heart of any good Cape Town stay; light the fire, pour a glass of something cold, and settle in on the cushioned daybed as the sun goes down.

Set between great surf beaches, the horse trails of Noordhoek and the harbour charm of Kalk Bay, guests are never more than a few minutes' drive from white sand, mountain hikes, and easy access to Simon's Town, Kalk Bay, and the Cape Point reserve.
