Tokai/Steenberg/Constanta Valley is just a beautiful part of The Cape. So many vineyards and wonderful restaurants. Diana’s holiday home is ideally located.

Lovely house and garden
We enjoyed our stay in this safe and well maintained house. Unfortunately my wife is nervous about all dogs and the owners strayed into our garden on several occasions. Apart from that we could not fault anything.

Secluded gem
Generally the house and property are excellent. The only complaint we had was that it was advertised as having air conditioning. Not so. There was 1 portable unit that we needed to fill up with water and it was not all that effective. It is not a built in air conditioning system. The cottage gets very hot especially upstairs. The private pool area, BBQ area is all great!

Fantastic Cottage and Hospitality!
From the moment we arrived in Cape Town, we were made to feel at home by Diana and Robert, who couldn’t have been more helpful. The cottage is exactly as it appears in the photos and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. It’s in a lovely neighbourhood and we found it to be a great location for exploring Cape Town and it’s surroundings. We would love to come back and stay again! Ps make sure you try their delicious ice cream...

Fantastic stay in beautiful cottage
We had a fabulous stay over Christmas at this georgous cottage nearby Steenberg. Perfect for our two boys with lovely swimming pool and plenty of space in the cottage. The cottage was spotlessly clean, well equipped and a we had a warm welcome from Diana. Perfectly located near Constantia and close to lots of lovely restaurants. Would highly recommend and hope to stay again very soon.

Gorgeous cottage, perfect location, fabulous hosts
We have just arrived back home and are missing Almondbury Cottage already. And well who wouldn't? The cottage is perfectly situated in Zwaanswyk in the Constantia winelands and so within very easy reach of Cape Town. Whether you want to visit the penguins at Boulders Beach, have a sundowner in Hout Bay or have an evening out in Cape Town, Diana and Robert's Cottage is the perfect base for your holiday. We have been coming to Cape Town for about 20 years and have previously stayed in high end hotels in the area, but finally decided to take the plunge and have our own 'home from home' for this our most recent 2-week trip. And we couldn't have found the most perfect place in Almondbury Cottage. The property is exactly as you see in the pictures - beautifully styled with contemporary furnishings. It is really very secluded with its own beautiful garden and pool and Diana and Robert couldn't have been more perfect hosts. Everything is provided for you from plentiful towels, including towels for the sunbeds and you are just a stone's throw away from local shops, coffee shops and restaurants. Diana was also enormously helpful with our pre-holiday preparations, accommodating all our requests, and responding quickly with a really solution-oriented approach - I felt I knew her already even before we had met! As other reviewers have noted you MUST also try Diana and Robert's ice cream - the chocolate is definitely not to be missed! I would not hesitate to recommend Almondbury Cottage and really hope we have the opportunity to stay their again on our next visit to Cape Town.

a paradise in a fine neighborhood
I would like to give Almondbury Cottage a 6-star rating! 1) The house: It is spotless in every corner! All the amenities in the house have high quality and are well maintained. The mountain view from the master bedroom is priceless! The interior is tastefully decorated. It is surrounded by beautiful manicured landscape with three matured almond trees which had lots of almonds during our stay. There are sun birds and sugar birds come to visit every day. 2) The hospitality: Diana and Robert have the warmest hospitality. They are genuine, generous and always there to help. We will definitely stay with them again like revisiting old friends. 3) The neighborhood: Almondbury Cottage is located in a very fine neighborhood next to a beautiful mountain. We enjoyed hiking around to check out those high-designed properties.

Perfect for everyone!
Wir haben uns sehr wohl und sicher gefühlt. Die Gegend ist sehr ruhig und perfekt, um Kapstadt zu erkunden oder zu Wandern (Silvermine). Das Haus war für uns 5 Besucher perfekt mit Pool und Garten. Die Gastgeber sehr hilfreich und freundlich. Wir können es jedem jederzeit weiterempfehlen. :)

Very clean, comfortable and cosy.
Our family of four stayed here for four nights. The owners were there to greet us and to give us an introduction to the facility. We instantly noted the impeccable tidiness and equipment of the house. Everything worked as it should. There was plenty of space for everyone and lots of storage for clothes and luggage. The garden with the clean pool was nicely done and offered lots of privacy. It was very peaceful and secure both in the house and in the garden. Supermarkets and restaurants are close, but you need a car. Everything you want to see in the Cape region is easy to reach by car. The whole package was very pleasant, practical and well worth the price. For the sunbathers: the garden and the pool area are sunny in the morning but shadowed in the afternoon by the surrounding mountains. Still, this house gets 5 star and a full recommendation from us!
