Vacation House for Home Exchange in Western Cape, somerset west Ref:801

View Map of South Africa,Western Cape,near cape town

3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, Sleeps 4 to 5

Description of home   Lovely, traditional Cape Victorian colonial style with all mod cons, lovely features (the trickling sound of an indoor fountain provides a calm atmosphere) and antiques in exclusive security village (only four homes). Beautiful mountain views can be enjoyed from the patio over a nice glass of wine. These give a tremendous feeling of space while the pretty garden makes you feel you are in the heart of the country as the area is very peaceful. Guinea fowl and francolin wander about the gardens while owls and other birds can often be seen and heard.    There is a built-in barbecue on the patio as well as another under the trees. A dip in the pool is wonderful for those hotter days.        Description of neighbourhood and environment   Somerset West is only ½ hour away from the centre of Cape Town and is very conveniently situated to the winelands area (Stellenbosch is just 15 minutes away) although there are some beautiful estates in the town itself. There are a number of reputed golf courses a few minutes away away at Erinvale and Strand and a well-equipped gym less than 10 minutes away. The sea at Gordon’s Bay and Strand is also approx 15 minutes away. It is also only 2 minutes drive to town of Somerset West where there are many restaurants of international standing. The town is very popular with visitors from all over the world (many who have a home here for the European winter) who enjoy its beautiful surroundings and ease of access to places of interest without having to be located in the middle of a city.

View Map of South Africa,Western Cape,near cape town

2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, Sleeps 4

New ultra-modern 300+ sq metre house with unusual architectural features and vast glassed areas, filled with original artworks by the owner.    The house comprises 2 spacious bedrooms (1 downstairs, 1 upstairs) with double beds and large glass sliding doors, 2 full bathrooms with glass tiles and designer showers, a study with a digital piano, computer and broadband internet access, 2 lounges with fireplaces and expansive glass sliding doors with views, dining room seating 8, kitchen with microwave oven, 2 conventional ovens, gas stove, fridge/freezer and washing machine, scullery and double garage. Furniture is mostly custom made - modern yet unpretentious. The living areas lead to a large sheltered verandah with a barbecue. The house has many glass sliding doors onto outside areas, including a deck and plunge pool. The views of Table Mountain and the first fairway are spectacular as we are situated in an elevated position on the Atlantic Beach Golf course. The wild life seen from our home includes Springbok, Mongoose, tortoises, a variety of birds and other small animals. The house has been designed for outdoor living and entertainment. There is a small garden planted with indigenous plants. Our small plunge pool is not heated, but refreshing in the Spring, Summer & Autumn! We do not have any pets and would not want pets in our home. As non-smokers, we do not allow smoking on our property. This is a home swap for non-smokers only.   This house would be ideal for 1 or 2 mature couples who are used to luxury and good taste, respect nature and enjoy golf.    Couples who would appreciate the home and setting would probably be adventurous nature lovers who like to keep options open by being close to the city.

From our house to the centre of Cape Town - 35 - 40 minutes. From our house to Cape Town International Airport - 40 minutes. From our house to wine farms - 25 - 40 minutes From our house to beach - 3 minutes.   I had a Fantastic Holiday in Western Cape, South Africa African,RSA,Indian Ocean, town of near cape town, Atlantic Beach Golf Estate is Wonderfull !
