George & Sue Kleyn
We have electrified fencing and guests have the use of the rear garden and a garage which has access to the apartment via a private lane. There are 2 small courtyards one of which is set up for braais. The bedroom is ensuite with the shower over the bath. The lounge has a kitchenette with a small sink, microwave, bar fridge and smart TV with the full DStv menu. All the cooking and eating utensils guests may need are provided.
George is a retired Geography teacher and Sue a retired pre-primary teacher. Both are tourist guides and would b delighted to provide tours and transfers and to help our guests plan extended trips. We love interacting with our guests but only if required! On request Sue does a wonderful SA dinner with wine in our home.
Kenilworth is an old established leafy suburb with some large properties. Within a 10 minute walk of the apartment are a number of restaurants and slightly further afield there are 2 local supermarkets, coffee shops, a bottle store and a wine store. An evangelical Anglican church is nearby.
