We really enjoyed our stay in your „Petit Paradies „. Everything was perfect and we felt very comfortable in the house and especially in the wonderful garden. The Pool was also just great!!! We would like to thank you again for the pleasant stay and especially for your nice and uncomplicated manner towards us. We‘d love to come again to your place the next time we visit Cape Town. We hope you‘re both doing well and wish you a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. Keep healthy . Bye for now Andrea and Jürgen

Vicky, thank you for providing the perfect little paradise. I needed a few days of R&R and your cottage provided the perfectly undisturbed setting. Peaceful, tranquil and a safe spot away from the hustle and bustle. Thoughtfully layed out and every possible amenity catered for. Thank you to Mike & Agnes as well, for a seamless checkin and checkout.

Loved every minute of our seven day stay. Thanks to our host for nice winter specials of places to go for meals. Thanks for the great wine and treats left for our enjoyment. We saw whales, lots of birds, the view is stunning. The coziest cottage, with comfy beds. We went in winter time and we were warm and toasty, nice underfloor heating and a fireplace.

Nomen est omen, this indeed is a petite paradise although the stone cottage is actually fairly big. Great vistas of the ocean, sunsets with a glass of wine within reach, the sound of breaking waves soothing you to sleep and excellent (and tasty) tips of Vicky, our host.

"A colorful painting framed in the sounds of the soothing ocean hung on a wall of memories. "Yes, our stay was wonderful, the light, the magical touches, the garden, beach, hospitality, and of course the temporary companionship of Bella!

Thank you for a wonderful stay- what a beautiful cottage and stunning location. A great base for exploring the city and down towards Cape Point. We enjoyed a braai on the patio and were visited by the lovely Bella! We shall be recommending to friends and family- a wonderful place for our 4 year anniversary.

It was pure heaven, from the gorgeous cottage itself, the unfailingly gracious hostess to the absolute perfection of the situation overlooking one of the most beautiful bays on Earth where we also got married in Feb 2014. Before our arrival, our pillows were even spritzed with delicious scent! The lavish garden of lavender in front of the little veranda is the crowning touch----recommended to many friends on their way to Cape Town. Forget about the other beach accommodations, this is IT--and I'm very particular!

I can hardly believe how fortunate we were to find this treasure of a property to explore the Cape Town area. We found the location to be convenient to everything we wanted to do--Cape of Good Hope, exploring Simon's Town and other small coastal towns, Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, and getting back into town to take the cable car to the top of Table Mountain. The home was charming--beautifully decorated (shabby chic,) pleasant out door sitting with spectacular views of the ocean which is just a short walk away through a path in the woods. Stunning gardens too. Didn't feel a big need to even leave the property, it was all so beautiful. Llandudno beach was breathtaking and we enjoyed our evening walks and sunsets. The surfers were fun to watch too. Lots of history tied into the area and beach and Vicky has a book on that. Vicky was a perfect host. Super helpful. Gave us good advice on where to explore next as we were continuing on our vacation. Would definitely go back.

Our stay at Petite Paradis was fantastic. It was cold and it was raining most of the weekend, but with all the little extras - underfloor heating, fireplace, lovely decor and absolute marvelous views all over the guest cottage - the weather only enhanced the romantic atmosphere. It is our opinion that the photo's on the websites do not do the cottage justice: it was most definately even more gorgeous than what we expected. We were also impressed with the hostess who was available but valued our privacy and we've already recommened it to many friends and will continue to do this - we will most certainly be back for another, longer stay! We were also impressed with the file on all information needed: from the alarm to where to wine and dine, very handy indeed and worth the visits. Excellent again!
