escape the city rush

For my husband's 40th, we had a long weekend away at this fabulous dutch/mediterranean self-catering apartment on the garden route. The house is situated right on the edge of the nature reserve in Stilbaai and the ancient fishing traps are walking distance. The apartment has an open plan kitchen/lounge (with two sleeper couches and doors leading to a patio) and very spacious main bedroom with king size bed. The bathroom is en-suite with a shower. The hosts are absolutely divine and nothing is too much trouble. Definitely worth a trip - the kids will be in seventh heaven. Visit www.charlottehouse.co.za
