The Space
The house is a newly renovated cape dutch style 2 bedroom cottage. Opening the red door leads you into a long passageway with 2 large bedrooms each with a queen size bed. Each bedroom also has a single fold out mattress called a snooza.
This leads into the lounge area where you will find a 40inch LED TV with satellite channel package.
The lounge flows into the Kitchen area which is kitted out with all appliances you would need whilst on holiday including a clothes washer.
The bathroom comes with a great pressured shower.
Small back area for chilling , there is also a charcoal or wood barbecue that guests can make use of.
Guest Access
Guests will have their own keys for the property.
You will also have access to the back patio which includes the charcoal barbecue
Getting Around
3 minutes by car into the city or 10 minutes with public transport. House is only 200m from the My Citi Bus route and we have even taken the liberty of getting some of the My Citi bus cards which you can use. Just top up at the coronation bazaar.
Uber is probably the best mode of private transport - if you not already signed up with uber, ask me for a free uber signup code which will get you 1 free ride.

Security in Walmer Estate and South Africa
We have burglar bars on all windows and security gates on all doors. In my 37 years here, I have never had a burglary at my home.
When visiting South Africa, always be aware of your surroundings and the people in your vicinity.
Parking
Cars park in the street, so you guessed it, there is no off street parking or garage. Just dont leave your brand new apple IPAD laying in full view of prying eyes and you will be fine.
