    I absolutely adored staying here. The cottage is a bachelor unit, with a large patio. It offers ample living spaces, especially in summer. The patio has a grapevine with two seating areas followed by a small enclosed private garden and more communal garden beyond that. . The kitchen is small but provided everything that I desired. It's one of the mostly thoughtfully furnished and equipped places that I stayed in for a long time (and I travel a lot). There was also no power cottages in spite of stage 6 loadshedding. Most importantly the bed and bedding was luxurious, with an electric blanket for the cold. You get more than what you pay for. I highly recommend this cottage for anyone, it's magical.

    We loved our stay at Sunny Lane! We rented the 2 apartments. The apartments were very comfortable. We stayed in the winter and appreciated the heaters and heating blankets on the bed. Walking distance to lovely cafes, restaurants, and the Saturday market. I would definitely stay again and recommend this accommodation if you’re in the area!

    The apartment was well equipped, clean and comfortable. Also they recently invested in an back-up system that helps make the load shedding a bit more bearable. Location was superb, with the town center, wine tram depo and La Cotte Farm. only a short walk away.

    Had to park my car outside on the street although it is a safe area but for the rain and as anything can happen.

    The quiet and comfort as well access to DSTV and there was an electric blanket and aircon. Also load shedding wasn’t felt as alternative solutions.

    Only thing missing was some body lotion among the toiletries, which were otherwise very nice.

    Beautiful lavender-scented garden, sunny patio with comfortable chairs, all rooms were a good size and nicely furnished. We ate out, but if you wanted to self-cater, the apartment was very well equipped. The room was serviced regularly which you don't usually expect with self-catering accommodation. Very handy for the shops and restaurants, but wonderfully quiet both by day and at night. An inverter meant no inconvenience with load shedding.

    We loved everything! We loved the garden, amenities and mini gas hob. The inverter was the biggest bonus! Bed was comfortable and more than enough bedding was supplied. Air conditioner a huge plus as it was rather chilly at night. Seating space both inside and outside was great as we enjoyed our coffee outside. Best best best part was the location, we could walk everywhere, even to a few farms for a wine tasting.

    Loved the pool. Concerned that the surrounds of the pool were a bit overgrown. Would have loved a better view of the mountains.

    Location was excellent. Facilities all that we needed. Very comfortable. Had an inverter for loadshedding periods.
