Description

The Artist’s Escape is a vintage, arty guest house situated in the suburb of Bonnie Doon in East London. The guest house is located just 7 minutes from Nahoon Beach, a surfer’s paradise. The property is surrounded by old trees and a lush garden, creating the feeling of living on a farm, with rabbits, rock dassies, geese, and ducks living in the bushes close by.

The guest house offers unique self-catering accommodation in a variety of accommodation options including a cottage, a cabin, a guest room, and a caravan. The property offers braai facilities, and guests have access to parking in front of the garage. Internet connection is also available.

Artist’s Escape is situated in a quiet area, within close proximity to Vincent Park Shopping centre, restaurants, coffee shops, an English pub, a post office, and a bottle store. The area is ideal for bird watchers and nature photographers. Your hosts are willing to assist you at any time and can offer recommendations for restaurants and day trips in the area. Breakfast and delicious dinners are available on request, served either out on the deck, on the undercover patio, or in the Bamboo bar which is part of the owner’s living area.

Description

The Wanderlust is a lovingly restored vintage camper that has been transformed into a small luxury apartment on wheels. With its over 6 m length, the caravan is very spacious with a queen-size bed, a fridge and stove as well as a small inside seating area. A deck has been built around the Wanderlust so guests can enjoy the green scenery in the valley when having a sundowner on the deck. The Wanderlust is restored to its 1950's glory with some modern African accents like cushion and seat covers made from West African Wax Fabric. The Wanderlust offers a romantic, quirky, different but however very comfortable type of accommodation for people who want a different experience. It represents the spirit of the 1950's and 1960's.

Easy, everything you'd need and full of character. We only stayed here for a short while, but everything we needed was supplied. The decor was a nice mix of styles and very interesting. The hostess was very friendly and helpful!

Maklik, als wat nodig was en karaktervol. Ons het baie vinnig oorgebly, maar daar was als wat ons nodig gehad het. Die plek se dekor was 'n lekker mengelmoes van style en baie interessant. Die gasvrou was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam!

It's different, it's unique and special. We enjoyed our one night there even though the beds in the unit we stayed in were not meant for over 60s. Isabelle was a warm hostess.

Dis anders, dis uniek en spesiaal. Ons het ons een nag daar geniet alhoewel die beddens in die eenheid waar ons gebly het nie bedoel was vir 60 plussers nie. Isabelle was 'n warm gasvrou.

A home. Isabella provides a fantastic alternative perspective of accommodation. She cares. Even our dogs enjoyed it!

'n Tuiste. Isabella voorsien 'n fantastiese alternatiewe uitkyk op verblyf. Sy gee om. Selfs ons honde het dit geniet!
