Our House

This is a private homepage of our house 8 Cutter Close, located in a quiet position @ the end of a cul-de-sac. 

It offers around 260 sqm of comfortable and renovated living space.

We put a lot of effort and enthusiasm into decorating and furnishing our house, so that we are really feeling very much at home.

Unfortunately our job situation does not allow us to stay here permanently.

Due the our very positive experience with our own bookings through AirBnB, we decided to offer our house to holiday guests as well.

We hope you can appreciate the house the same way we do and treat the interior accordingly.

Just relax on a deck, our swinging chair or in the pool, listen to your favorite music in the living room or take a ride on the pedal boat for sunset with some bubbly in a cooler watching the birds – we are sure you will enjoy your stay.

CHECK-IN: please contact our caretaker Alex upon arrival @ +27735485776 via SMS or WhatsApp. 

He will meet you in the house.

*South Africa is a so-called brick country. Our provider ensured 20000 mBit and we do pay for this, however, please do not blame us for failure to deliver expected speed or VPN on our WIFI.

However, please do not hesitate to report any serious problems or even total failure to our “care taker” Alex.
