Helderberg cottage
Pros: Shané gave us regular updates about the water issue in town, which affected the supply, but fortunately they could provide water from water storage tanks.
Cons: Access road was quite narrow, so would not recommend for a big vehicle.

We had an enjoyable time staying at Helderberg Cottage and we will be back if in that area again.
Pros: Shané met us when we arrived at the property and she was very friendly and helpful. She was a super host and we thoroughly enjoyed our time spent at her accommodation. Shané was very patient and friendly in her interactions with our granddaughter who loved feeding the rabbits and cats with Shané in the afternoons. We would gladly recommend Ruan and Shané's Helberberg Cottage accommodation to anyone wanting to stay in the Somerset West area.
Cons: We have no complaints. There was nothing that we did not enjoy and Shané was a great host. She was very helpful and accommodating and if we needed anything we just asked for it.

Overall the value is great. This is ideal for a couple or small family who are willing to explore.
Pros: The help from the hosts was exceptional. Important information on local attractions, security and culture. Location is lovely as well as a perfect launching area to the popular tourist scenic areas (Cape Town abundance like Kirstenbosch etc), the wine route (incl. Franschoek-Grabouw drive) and even as far afield as Yzerfontein and the Swartland. This all while avoiding the congestion of a accommodation location in Cape Town or Stellenbosch.
