Description

Phumla apha is a Xhosa phrase meaning rest here, and perfectly describes what you will be able to do in this delightful house. Surrounded by dramatic mountain peaks, this bright, relaxed, family home is perfect for alfresco living. With a distinctive Cape feel, it sleeps a total of five people: two in a king-size bed in the main bedroom, and three on single beds in the large second bedroom. There are two bathrooms (main en-suite).

The open-plan lounge and dining room lead directly out to an extensive, wind-protected and peaceful garden filled with indigenous trees, flowers and birds. The lounge overlooks a crystal clear swimming pool where you can swim in complete privacy. Dine at a table on the creeper-shaded patio alongside the pool or warm yourself around the Jetmaster fireplace indoors.
 
A portable Weber-type kettle braai (barbeque) is available for use, and around the pool are loungers and a large sun umbrella. Please note that the pool is unfenced and thus the residence is unsuitable for small children and those that have not learnt to swim. Plenty of gated off-street parking is available, including shadenet-covered parking for one vehicle. The premises are fully fenced and alarmed, including outdoor and indoor beams to help keep you safe.
 
The kitchen has everything you need for self-catering: a hob/oven, fridge, microwave, washing machine and clothes dryer. Other facilities include a TV (with M Net), ADSL internet access, a DVD Player/Recorder and a CD sound system. All bedding and towels are also supplied.

Last but not least is the presence of Budd, the resident sweet-natured and talkative tabby cat. All he needs is some love, and pellets twice a day. If you are not a cat lover, I can arrange for Budd to stay somewhere else whilst you are at Phumla Apha.

Activities and attractions that are available within a 5 minute drive of the house are: shops, restaurants, aerobics and gym, Hout Bay beach, Chapman’s Peak Drive, sailing, horse-riding, sea kayaking, bird-watching, cycling, whale watching (in season), surfing, fishing, walking. Within 15 minutes you will be able reach the dazzling Llandudno and/or Camps Bay beaches and the Constantia wine farms.

GUEST’S COMMENTS


“Phumla Apha was our home away from home while in Cape Town. Our family had a wonderful stay at this delightful, comfortable, characterful cottage. We loved the large pool and delightful rambling garden. The house was well stocked with books and music. The owner was friendly and attentive and made us feel welcome.”

Steve & Desiree and family, Wellington, New Zealand        January 2009

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Phumla Apha - a very comfortable home-from-home, with a gorgeous, secluded garden and inviting pool. The perfect base to explore the Atlantic beaches and the city.” 

Sean and Sally, Haywards Heath, UK                 February 2009

Hout Bay & Llandudno

Hout Bay is set in a seaside valley and offers some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. The town is bordered by nature reserves and surrounded by majestic mountains, including the infamous Chapman’s Peak. Llandudno’s magic feeds of its setting – nestled on and between the Klein Leeukop Mountain and the 12th Apostle of Table Mountain and overlooking white sandy beaches and the ever-changing Atlantic Ocean.

Suikerbossie Restaurant
Named after the surrounding proteas, and offering treats just as sweet as their floral nectar, Suikerbossie Restaurant in Hout Bay offers the bridal couple an all-inclusive package. Set against Table Mountain, and offering spectacular views of Hout Bay valley, Chapmans Peak and the most perfect bay in the world, Suikerbossie’s setting is quite supreme.
Pure Restaurant
The signature restaurant Pure is a culinary highlight for those wishing to indulge in an evening of gourmet delights and the exquisite service epitomizes fine culture. The Executive Chef’s philosophy is simply - a fusion of purity. Pure seats 58 guests in style amidst a tranquil palette of creams, whites, marble and fine art. Pure is open for dinner from Tuesday until Saturday and only for lunch Sunday.
Darios Café
All rituals have their place of worship and Coffee is no different. Its temple is the Café or ‘Bar’ as it is called in Italy. Dario’s café offers an authentic Italian ‘bar’ experience where the daily buzz of activity, closely placed tables and intoxicating aroma of Coffee invites all who enter to feel part of his Coffee Shop family.

Jewellery beyond expectation

Is it your dream to have tailor made jewellery created from your design or recycle old beloved jewellery and bring it up to date?

I have been creating bespoke jewellery for more than 20 years. It is important that jewellery fits comfortably and also reflects the personality of those wearing it.

Making jewellery is as much about listening as it is creating. Jewels in South Africa are abundant; they represent a fantastic investment and are of course tax free.
