The Studio at 33 Strawberry Lane in Leafy Constantia

Great for short business stays. Rare long weekend cancellation from 3-8 February. Pass through the shaker doors and into a wet-room-style bathroom with local Ecoco toiletries and heated towel rails. There is a ceiling fan for hot days. Then have breakfast on the padded seats in the private courtyard, washed down with some Nespresso topped with frothed milk. Should you want an early breakfast, I can provide a delicious basket of fresh items in your fridge the night before. Also I can supply a small basket of hot muffins or scones in time for your meal. There will be an extra charge for this depending on what you would like. THE STUDIO The studio (which is ideal for a couple or a single person) while small in space is compact( 19 square metres) and immaculately finished White wooden floorboards, high white wooden ceilings and white walls give it a feeling of spaciousness. White Plantation shutters give you privacy and complete the picture. Two comfortable armchairs, headboard and lampshades are in neutral linen, and the bed, which is a queen size, is dressed in imported White Company bed linen. White Company has also supplied the cotton gowns for your comfort at the end of long day sightseeing. Wi fi is installed to connect you to the outside world and a TV with a full DSTV package can be watched from the comfort of your armchair or your bed. Behind shaker doors there is a wet room style bathroom with shower, heated towel rails and toilet. Toiletries are hand-made locally by Ecoco, using personally selected essential oils. Feel free to really indulge yourself in these products. Inside the main room there is a kitchenette with white counters and shaker style cupboards. A Nespresso machine with a range of coffee types and a milk frother to replace your favourite barista . Other appliances include a microwave, mini fridge, toaster and kettle. Meals can be enjoyed either in your own private courtyard in good weather or at a very comfortable counter inside the studio. The Courtyard is planted with herbs, roses and green creepers. Here you can lounge on long cushions and sit at a bistro style table in comfortable chairs under a café style awning. The lower garden is for the guests to use. It edges onto the Green belt. There is rustic table and chairs for you to sit and enjoy a picnic or a cup of coffee etc, surrounded by greenery and birdlife. A gate in the garden links you to a number of river walks.This is perfect for Birdwatchers as well. The Studio is private and has a courtyard. The guest/s will have their own parking and access. I am happy to interact as much or as a little as the guests please. I enjoy people , but I do respect their privacy. I will be present when the guests are here. Follow mapped hiking trails right from the gate of this property in the verdant Constantia Valley. Mountains and vineyards are all around, with wide-ranging shopping areas just down the road. Take the nearby highway to beaches and Cape Town. You will need a hired car, or rely on taxis such as Uber. Bicycles are available should you wish to ride along the Green belt. The studio is ideal for a couple or for a single person. The Studio is also ideal for the single Business Person or Couple. Should you wish me to stock your fridge for breakfast/snacks etc I am happy to do this. Please respect the privacy of the guests in the cottage. ALTHOUGH WE ARE EXPERIENCING A DROUGHT HERE IN THE CAPE, HERE AT 33 STRAWBERRY LANE WE HAVE OUR OWN UNDERGROUND WATER SOURCE. However we would ask you to still be cautious with your water use.
