Somerset West – Cape Town metropole
This lovely establishment Guesthouse with long successful track record is located on an iconic avenue lined with Blue Gum trees, on the slopes of the majestic Helderberg Mountains in the quiet and safe village of Somerset West.
A very central location with the Mountains as a dramatic backdrop and False Bay within sight, this spot is an ideal hub for guests from where they can conveniently explore the Cape Winelands and all its splendour.
Only 15 minutes from picturesque Stellenbosch, 20 minutes from the international airport and 35 minutes from Cape Town centre.
Within a short drive, you will find world-class restaurants, pristine golf courses, sandy beaches and popular towns including Franschhoek and Hermanus.
The Guesthouse caters predominantly to the foreign leisure market as well as attracting corporate travellers in the off season. The business generates a comfortable annual income providing the owner a great lifestyle and all expenses (guesthouse related and private) paid for, with ample room to grow further.
The property offers 5 guest units and a completely private, thatched, 2-bedroomed owner’s house. All set in a peaceful and lush manicured garden setting, where the heated 10-meter salt-water pool is always warm and lawns always green, due to the strong supply of water from its own borehole.
A thatched lapa with braai and entertainment facilities gives that unique South African feel to the Cape way of life, where guests can play board games, barbeque for themselves and have a drink with their fellow guests who often become friends.
