Roger and Jane were very welcoming and accomadating to our late arrival and later check-out on the day that we were leaving
Accommodation is situated in a good, quiet neighbourhood and suited our needs perfectly.
Good communication throughout the whole process.
Just some friendly suggestions:
Another lamp is required during loadshedding. One for the whole apartment is not adequate.
A UPS to power up the WiFi router during loadshedding would be much appreciated.

I love the fact that the area is quiet and peaceful. It made spending time with my wife much more easier and lovable. We rarely get to spend some time including peace and quiet so I absolutely adored it.
I didn't like the rain pouring so hard on that day so we could not really get in the pool to swim.

Dorset Cottage is highly recommended for a couple or family of 3.
It is centrally located and close to shops and restaurants and sports clubs and many tourist attractions in Cape Town.

I enjoyed my time at Dorset Cottage very much. Apart from the occasional bird cry, it is very quiet. I was a solo visitor and enjoyed the comfortable space including the main bedroom. The second bed is on a mezzanine level above the main bed, maybe suitable for children more than adults. The immediate area is smart and secure, I made a couple of early evening excursions on foot to the main DiepRivver road to find meals which worked out fine. Perhaps be cautious later at night. The WiFi was ok, not a strong signal. Currently Cape Town is suffering rolling power cuts, the lovely hosts Roger and Jane provide rechargeable battery lights and a flask that you can fill with hot water when the power is on.
Just a small point, a thin summer duvet was on the bed which was great the first couple of nights, then it got warmer so just a sheet would have been nice. Such a minor issue that I never requested it, so just a suggestion.

We received a warm welcome from Roger and his family. They were very hospitable and went out of the way to ensure that our 12 year old son (with autism) was comfortable. The apartment is well equipped and more spacious than it looks on the photos. We particularly enjoyed the privacy and the fact that we had exclusive access to the swimming pool.
Best value I have seen for a cottage with a pool in Cape Town! We will definitely be back!
Access to second bedroom is via the main bedroom. My son loved the loft though. It was super safe and is a fun setting for tweener!

spacious and private place. The owners allowed me to go and come as I please with gate access. provided milk and water. in the fridge.
shower is a bit small. would only fit one person comfortably. the shower water pressure was a bit low but I guess it’s because of the shower head optimised for saving water.

The location was easy to find, a quiet area with beautiful surroundings. The cottage was spacious and well-decorated wooden effect. I liked the privacy and the treats. The hosts went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Dorset Cottage is a true Gem and a definite comeback.
Cold in Winter, but there are heaters all around

Excellent hosts.
Safe and neat.
Secure parking.
The poor WiFi signal.
The oven door doesn’t close properly and a lot of heat is lost, taking longer to cook/bake.
