About this property

Romantic sea side cottage

Beautiful French Provencal stone cottage set in private indigenous garden overlooking Llandudno beach. The cottage was lovingly built with exceptional attention to detail, including stone floors, high beamed ceilings, antique light fittings, French wrought iron work and wooden shutters.

It comprises a double bedroom with French doors leading onto private gravel patio with sea and mountain views and breakfast table shade by tall proteas, bathroom with bath and shower tiled in travertine (also mountain views!), lounge with kitchenette and covered "sundowner" patio with magnificent sea views.

The lounge and kitchenette are fully equipped with TV, fridge, convection microwave, gas burners, washing machine, dishwasher, kettle toaster, nespresso coffee machine etc. There is a stone table and chairs on patio where you can sip your cocktails at sunset as well as loungers to soak up the afternoon sun while overlooking the ocean.

The beautifully furnished bedroom comprises a king-sized bed with down duvet, French antique linen and cotton quilt.

Fluffy white bath towels as well as beach towels and umbrella are provided. The Victorian roll-top bath has wonderful mountain and garden views through sash windows

The cottage is surrounded by a beautiful garden planted with indigenous plants as well as an assortment of cooking herbs, which you are encouraged to use.

Guests are welcome to make use of the large swimming pool and pool loungers located next to the cottage. We also have access to squash and tennis courts as well as a yoga school located 300m from the cottage. The beach is ± - 5min walk away.

There is under-floor heating throughout and a gas fire place in the lounge for cosy winter evenings

Guests have access to beautiful landscaped garden and large swimming pool. Cottage is a 4min walk down to the beach

Owner lives on the property in a separate private residence and is always available for advice on dining, site seeing etc

Situated in the spectacular enclave of Llandudno which is on the Altantic coast between Camps Bay and Hout Bay. Llandudno beach with its fine white sand and curling surfing waves is one of the finest in Cape Town, but due to the limited parking is kept unspoilt and for used mainly by locals. Shops and restaurants are a 5min drive away and Table MOuntain 10min, V&A; Waterfront 25min, Constantia Winelands 20min and Cape POint 35min.The sunsets over the Altantic Ocean viewed from the cottage patio are spectacular.



LLandudno is on the MY Citi bus route to town centre Camps Bay, Hout Bay and V&A A Waterfront

Traumhaft
Wir haben uns in Vicky’s Cottage sehr wohl gefühlt, vor allem die Nähe zu Kapstadt, der Weingegend und der Kaphalbinsel ist perfekt. Das Cottage ist wunderbar für ein Pärchen, die Bucht zu Fuß schnell erreicht.Vicky ist eine perfekte Gastgeberin und war jederzeit erreichbar.

Beautiful
This was just an amazing little cottage in a beautiful part of the city. The view from the porch is wonderful from sunrise to sunset. Easy access to everything from stores to restaurants to highways. I would absolutely recommend this place and if/when we come back to Cape Town, this is the first place we’d look to book. Has a nice little kitchen, washing machine, all the things you need to feel home for a week.

Small but perfectly formed!
Beautifully designed to maximise space but still quite small in living and kitchen area. Bedroom wonderful with extremely comfy bed. Fabulous bathroom. It was great to have the lovely Agnes come in every day to tidy up after us! The pool was a real bonus.

Style & Character
"Petit Paradis" is a great place to be. Everything is clean and fresh, in a quiet and peaceful location with great views and easy access to the wonderful LLandudno beach. Every detail and every corner of the interiors and exteriors are built and equipped with love and perfect taste. Generous sized bed, beautifully presented with fresh, clean linen, both plump and thin duvets and pillows. The owners took wonderful care of us.

Great position and well-equipped small cottage
This accommodation is private and well serviced (daily). It came well-equipped with everything you could require in a two week stay. Comfortable bedroom, living room, bathroom and outdoor sitting area. We really enjoyed our stay in beautiful Llandudno.

Was better than I imagined.
Llandudno is gorgeous and so is this cottage. It was the perfect size, was extremely clean and comfortable, and Vicky was a perfect host. She was responsive to any and all questions and requests, and was so helpful with advice for newcomers to Cape Town. If we get to go back, which we totally plan to, we would love to use this cottage again. The beach nearby, just a short walk down a beautiful path, is like something from a movie. Everyone there was friendly, and we met several very nice locals. Can’t wait to go back.

Very pretty little cottage with lovely views. Comfortable and cosy. Pretty garden
The cottage is small but very comfortable for two people. Lovely views, and only a short walk to the beach. We mostly ate out in the evenings but the kitchen although small is reasonably equipped . Very helpful host. We enjoyed our stay.very much.

A real paradise
Petit Paradis is a delightful cottage set in a charming garden with a real French provencale character.There are lovely views over the sea and it is just a few hundred yards from the beach. A wonderful place to relax in beautiful South Africa. When you are tired of relaxing there are plenty of world class restaurants and vineyards a short drive away. Vicky is an excellent host and the cottage is in great condition and well maintained and serviced by her friendly staff who are always on hand. We will definitely be returning.

A perfect retreat to unwind
Petit Paradis is one of those magical places you immediately feel at home and most importantly relaxed. The gardens surrounding the cottage are beautiful and the cottage itself warm and inviting. The location is perfect for watching the sunset from the patio and the beach itself is so close if you prefer to watch the sunset from there. Vicky was welcoming when I arrived and the lovely flowers she left in each room was such a lovely touch. I highly recommend Petit Paradis and will definitely be returning.

Gorgeous, elegant, water-view stone cottage!
Llandudno is one of Cape Town’s most beautiful beach suburbs and our little haven, Petit Paradis, is a Provencal-esque stone cottage set in fragrant native gardens. Wisteria, bougainvillea, Cape honeysuckle, native fynbos, lavender, olive and lemon trees attract charming native birds. Nestled in a valley with views towards the Twelve Apostles, Camps Bay, Little Lion’s Head and Karbonkelberg, exclusive Llandudno is named for its Welsh counterpart. Petit Paradis, set in its private garden out of sight of the main house, yet securely behind gates, has sea and mountain views from every window, French-inspired interiors of cream, peach, and pale blues with white calico and wood furnishings, plus underfloor heating and a gas fire for those chilly nights. Vicky has thought of everything including excellent coffee and wine, to make our stay perfect. How lovely it is to sit on the patio watching the sun go down while your dinner cooks on the barbecue. We even spot whales in the bay. On hot days, we stretch out on the sun loungers with the sea glinting below, and listen to the tiny birds chirping in the gorgeous garden. The deep bath has views up to the mountain, while from the comfortable bed, French doors open onto the garden. It’s only a five-minute walk to the beach and owners Vicky and Graham, who live discreetly on the property, often walk there with a sunset bottle of champagne, though the sunset is equally exquisite from the cottage’s stone patio. It’s hard to get a booking for this one – European and English visitors flock here – but if you can, it’s worth it. Not only have we booked to stay again this year, but we would actually like to move in and live there!
