We loved our stay in Sunbird Cottage. Direct access to the vineyard was a real bonus and the swimming pool and garden area are really well maintained. Location is perfect for exploring - particularly the Constantia vineyards. The cottage is well maintained and decorated but retains original features. We would definitely return.
