We absolutely loved LOVED staying at this villa. It is an extremely spacious place with loads of running space for the kids. Athol is also very generous with his grandkids’ toys which were heaven sent for all the kids in our group. Athol himself was a BRILLIANT host and we can’t thank him enough for his hospitality. He was always available for any questions we might have had (and we had quite a few!). Also, a special note for his help with our son needed a doctor.

Athol was a great host and accommodated us very well. The main accommodation is spacious and well spread out over a single storey. As we were two families who didn't want to live on top of each other, the layout of the house was great. The location is fantastic, being close to great restaurants, supermarkets, vineyards, local walks and cycle tracks, and not too far from the main attractions of Cape Town.

We had a great time both in the spacious Lime cottage which was kept clean and tidy by the wonderful staff. Communal areas are excellent with bars, huge flat screen jacuzzi and a good sized warm pool. Beautiful garden and rooftop terrace with mountain view. City is in easy reach via car or you can pop down to the constantia mall in just 5 minutes.

We had a great stay at LeBonheur over Christmas and New Year. Our daughter was married at Steenberg and both sides of the family shared the main house. It was great to have the maid service particularly on the day of the wedding with 6 shirts to iron! We had booked the house a full three years in advance and Athol and Tamara had done everything possible to help us source suppliers and generally put our minds at ease. At the last minute some friends had issues with their booked accommodation in Hout Bay and Athol and Tamara pulled out all the stops to assist and let them move into Lemon cottage at very short notice. The house itself is in a stunning setting, the views from the top terrace are very special indeed. Although the pool and hot tub are shared with the other cottages, this was not an issue for us. There are eight padded sun loungers and plenty of other lounging chairs. The grounds are perfect for a family BBQ (Braai!) and the prices of meat etc in the supermarket are very reasonable. Jacko the parrot provided plenty of entertainment to us all and Tamara’s dog Stretch also visited to play around the pool. We found the location to be very convenient, although you do need to drive to get anywhere, there are plentiful restaurants and a shopping centre within 10 minutes. The Waterfront, Hout Bay and Newlands are all an easy 20-25 minute drive. Then of course it is in the middle of the Constantia wine route – it would be rude not to.
