Squirrels Nook Cottage Constantia

Location was amazing. Neat little cottage

Was quite small.

Lovely and well-equipped cottage in utterly beautiful suburb. Owners unobtrusive but very helpful when needed. 5 mins to Constantia Village and its excellent shops. 20 mins to our favourite tidal pool at St James. The courtyard is a suntrap. Especially enjoyed the pool in its peaceful and lovely setting. Use of washing machine a bonus. We were thrilled by the local, safe walking trails.

I had such a wonderful stay at this cottage. It is absolutely beautiful, very cozy, and creates such a warm and relaxing atmosphere – I felt at home from the very first moment. What made the experience truly special, though, was the incredible kindness and care of the hosts. They were exceptionally helpful, attentive, and always there whenever I needed anything. You can really feel that they genuinely care about their guests. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable, and welcoming stay. I would definitely come back!

Lovely little apartment. Very comfortable bed. Very well appointed.. Wonderful outside space and a divine swimming pool. The owners are unobtrusive but quick to help when needed. The apartment is located in a lovely, quiet and safe part of Cape Town.

Nothing.

It was perfect for us a couple. Especially that we could sit outside and have a Braai. Loved everything- we will be back

We loved everything

Everything and how they take care of the guest

Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt. Das kleine Cottage ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht und sehr geschmackvoll gestaltet. Der Empfang war sehr freundlich, vielen Dank!

Beautiful cosy and super-clean apartment located in quite and safe neighborhood. Very well equipped with everything you might need. Private parking place. Private swimming pool. The host is very friendly and helpful. Perfect stay for 2 people.

The cottage was great. It was great to have a bathroom separated from the living room by a double door - great for privacy.

We misjudged the size of the bed, but have been persuaded that it is a standard queen size bed.

Best place in town !

Silent and safe area, close to wineries. Privet, small but comfortable cottage in Greek style with parking. Lovely place to eat outside. Swimming pool in the garden of owner next-door. Sufficient equipped with all you may need. All was very clean. Owners very friendly.. Perfect place to visit Cape Town and all areas around. Even 5 nights was not enough to visit all.we had planned. We felt like home.

Perfekte Lage, sicherer Parkplatz, barrierefrei. In dem gemütlichen Cottage fühlten wir uns sehr heimisch. Hervorragende und sympathische Gastgeber. Garten und Pool sind ein Highlight. Bett und Dusche ein Traum.

It was so cozy and comfortable and it was lovely to be able to sit outside in the courtyard area. We loved the pool and the friendly cat that came to say hallo. We had everything we needed and it felt like coming home after a long day of exploring cape town. Will definitely stay there again

It had a lovely bedroom, open plan kitchen, dining room and lounge with a private outdoor patio.

Super nette Familie, wunderbare Lage, extrem ruhig.

Quiet Convenient Safe comfortable and well kitted out. Very obliging and friendly hosts .

All good

Lovely cottage in a great part of Constantia. Well appointed, comfortable and clean with lots of thoughtful touches. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Great pool area and nice little private courtyard. Was a superb base in our favourite part of Cape Town and highly recommended

The cottage was very clean, private, quiet and in a lovely green leafy neighborhood. We felt secure and at home. Lots of places to walk especially across the road in the local meadow. The cottage was close to shops restaurants, vineyards and mountain hikes. It was also very close to Hout Bay which was another local seaside village to explore in wine country. We were very welcomed by our lovely hosts Peta and Rose and felt immediately relaxed in our accommodation. We would love to stay here again and probably will. Thank you for such an amazing get away!

Hosts were very friendly and hospitable Very easy to deal with would recommend highly

The property is located in an exclusive area of Constantia, a suburban setting with a rural feel. Very quiet and peaceful opposite a large open meadow. Easy access to onsite secure parking. Spotlessly clean and well appointed, homely and not over the top. Excellent value for money. Will stay again when passing through Cape Town.

Friendly hosts. Lovely cottage and gardens with private courtyard. Use of full laundry. Nice to be in family neighbourhood out of tourist bustle.

Comforable, private with ample space to relax, work and enjoy an outdoor seating area. Well kitted-out for self catering and I loved the quiet suburb setting. Comfy bed and great shower. Felt safe and comforable.

I am not a fan of this stream DSTV options which is the standard feature these days. I prefer good old DSTV remote with options to flick trough the channels. The pin code appears on the screen - but due to my IT inability I was unable to make it work.

No breakfast included in stay.

Nothing I can think of.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The place was spotless, beautifully kept, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and cozy getaway. It truly felt like a home away from home. The hosts were amazing—so kind, responsive, and respectful of our privacy, which we really appreciated. Every little detail was so thoughtful. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would definitely come back again!

The host took account of my request at booking.

Great little place to stay. The photos really matched the reality. Has everything you need.

Perfect quiet get away. Immaculately clean. Has everything you need!

Owners were so kind, genuine and generous! Will be back and thank you for making my stay as comfortable as possible 💙!

Privacy

Everything lovely and clean and tidy, minimum clutter. Convenient location close to shops and restaurants.

Petar very friendly and welcoming. There is attention to detail and everything was in tiptop shape. We had a lovely restful stay. Would stay longer next time!

Absolutely immaculate, private, lovely pool area, owners very helpful

The cottage is cute and cosy. It has all the facilities you may need for your little getaway. We had a little braai and pool session - loved it! The hosts were kind and helpful. I am so glad I came across it whilst it’s summertime in Cpt.

It was like a little Grecian cottage but set in a fabulous area of Constantia, perfect location, quiet and mountains as a backdrop.

The location was excellent. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The host was very friendly and helpful. Being able to use the owner's pool was a bonus, as was the laundry room. Highly recommended.

Nothing at all.

Rose and Petar are excellent hosts We have enjoyed every minute of our stay at Squirrels Great, peaceful location surrounded by nature Close to Constancia shopping mall. Easy access to the rest of Cape Town

Our stay at Squirrels Nook cottage was delightful. It is located in Constantia, a peaceful neighborhood immersed in nature. The house has a lovely patio (complete with a small barbecue!) and a beautiful garden with lush vegetation. Petar and Rose allow their guests to enjoy their pool, which seems to have been built in the middle of a forest! The cottage is well-equipped, very bright and quiet, and we slept wonderfully there. It also offers the security of private parking. However, what truly made our stay exceptional was the kindness and friendliness of Petar. It was interesting and fun to chat with him; he gave us great tips on activities to do in the area and even had the thoughtful gesture of leaving us everything we needed to wash our car! It’s such a shame we discovered this place only on the last day of our trip. Next time, we already know we’ll stay longer! Thank you, Petar and Rose—see you soon!

Thoughtfully-planned, very comfortable space. Attention given to small details makes a big difference … enjoyed the lush garden & use of pool 🌿

This is a perfect self contained space, there’s nothing we didn’t like

Very friendly and helpful hosts

Hidden gem! Nice house in fantastic neighbourhood. Very nice host

Everything. Such a beautiful home! Rose and Petar were also amazing hosts. It was the quiet retreat I needed after weeks of travelling and stress. Cottage is located is an excellent neighborhood for walks and close enough (10mins drive or 30 mins walks) to supermarkets and restaurants and all the glorious wine vineyards in Constantia.

Nothing to not like… If I am being overly fussy, I’d say pack an eye mask as it does get bright early in the summer and the curtains are not black out.

The location for us was perfect. Lovely area, very quiet and peaceful. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. The apartment was very clean, beautifully decorated and offered everything. We were even given milk, tea, coffee etc. that was a lovely gesture.

Cosy cottage equipment with everything you need for a perfect stay. This cottage was absolutely immaculate.

LOCATION GOOD

All was good

The decor, friendly owners the amenities and everything was fabulous!

I absolutely loved my stay at the nook. It was such a treat. I had some enquiries prior to my stay and Rose responded warmly and in detail which I so appreciated. Everything in the cottage was spotless, new and well prepared. There was nothing I needed. The area was quiet and beautiful and I so enjoyed the birdsong and chattering squirrels. The shower was gorgeous and better than what I have at home! Rose and Petr were warm and accomodating and nothing was too much trouble. The sweet blue doors and friendly cottage feel were just what I needed and I fell in love with the little blue bathroom mirror. The area is green and just lovely. Thank you Rose and Petr for hosting me so kindly and respectfully.

I wish I had another day to enjoy the garden and pool area a bit more!
