The reception room is in there personal house. A lot of dogs greeted me, far more friendly than the owners. The aircon didn't work at all. The blanket had a tore in, there were summer sheets on the bed and strange hair. The next morning the owners refused any breakfast (even if I wanted to pay). I will NEVER stay... More

I stayed here last week for 4 days on business. I was put up in one of the self catering chalets. Unfortunately being on business meant that didn't have much chance to take Dianne's and Kevins sight seeing advice, but they were very useful for recommending nice local restaurants. They were even kind enough to help me after I trip... More

My husband, two young children and I stayed in the cottage at Penny Lane Lodge. The cottage is very comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen which was perfect for self-catering for our young family. There is a private patio behind the cottage with a little garden and a barbeque. There is a nice clean pool in the main garden surrounded by... More

We needed a place which could accomodate 3 adults, and for only a single night. For that, Penny lane was fine. The room was spacious and clean, and I thought the price was quite reasonable. For a longer stay I would probably look for a more scenic location. If you don't like smoke - the reception / lounge area has... More

We stayed at the cottage, which is perfect for a family. It was clean and spacious, except for the parent's room and bathroom, which we found quite small, compared to the children's room and bathroom: it's the only thing we found strange and disapointing in this room. Sommerset is the perfect location to explore the Winelands (20 min) and Capetown... More

We stayed for 6 nights in the chalet and were very happy with the location, the accommodation and the help of the owners with planning trips etc. There are 3 restaurants in walking distance. And by car you can easily visit Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Gansbaai (for shark cage diving) and beaches like Strand or Gordon's Bay. It was a very... More

We stayed 4 nights and it was simply beautiful, relaxing by the pool after all the excursions or an early morning sunbath after breakfast.
