Garden cottage, Tamboerskloof

A whitewashed cottage tucked under Lion’s Head, with its own gate off the lane and a lemon tree that drops fruit onto the path all winter. The front door opens into a light living room with a wide sash window framing the mountain, a two-seater sofa in pale linen and a small dining table for two. The kitchen is compact but complete, with a gas hob, an under-counter fridge and open shelves of white crockery. Through an arch, the bedroom has a queen bed, built-in cupboards and French doors onto a private patch of lawn. The shower room is tiled white with good water pressure. It comes fully furnished, down to the linen and the coffee plunger. One small dog is welcome, as the garden is fully walled. Electricity is included up to R800 a month, and fibre is already connected. Street parking only, but the steep walk up to Kloof Nek starts at the gate.
