Welcome

A quiet retreat, hidden in plain sight.

Tucked behind a garden wall on a quiet Durbanville street, The Garden Cottage is an intimate self-catering hideaway for couples and small families. Personally hosted, beautifully furnished, and wrapped in green — it is the kind of place where mornings start slowly and evenings linger long. You arrive as a guest. You leave having found a small, restful secret of your own.

The Cottage

Where comfort meets calm.

Light-filled and softly furnished, the cottage is a self-contained sanctuary for two. A king bed for deep sleep, a generous en-suite, a small kitchen for slow mornings — all the essentials, none of the noise.

The Garden

Where the day slows down.

Lush, private, and quietly restorative — our garden is the feature most loved by our guests. A place to read, to listen, and to let your everyday worries drift away.

One of the best guesthouses we have stayed at. Our stay was very enjoyable. Annamarie was the perfect host, going out of her way to make us feel welcome. I would rate everything 10/10, superb.

Beautiful, safe and so close to everything. We were there for medical reasons and it is so close to the hospital as well as the town. It is so quiet and so safe and the hostess was so friendly.
