    25 December 2015

    "we stayed 2 nights at Fern cottage and we did enjoy it. The cottage is very well equipped and two comfortable beds are provided. Very compact but most functional. We spend most of your time at Kirstenbosch and we walked to the gardens in 10 minutes. Nice to leave the car behind. We did apprecciate the extras the hostess had put into the fridge for breakfast and some fruits. <br />We enjoyed our stay in a beautiful part of Cape Town.<br />"

The cottage is small, clean and lovely! And is stocked with everything you need and more to make your stay away from home more than comfortable! Thanks Paddy"

    15 October 2014

  • "Very happy"

    18 December 2013

    "We were very happy with our lodgings during our recent visit to Cape Town. The Cottage itself was what we were hoping to find: it was clean, well equipped and very private. But what made our stay more memorable, was its location: virtually minutes away from a number of restaurants, close to the Botanical Gardens and a very large shopping mall and approximately 20 to 30 minutes to the Waterfront (in peak traffic). Our hosts were also very attentive and friendly and made us feel at home - so Fern Cottage gets a big thumbs up from Noelene and myself"
