Ambleside House \ Accommodation in Pinelands

Ambleside House is situated in leafy Pinelands, a very quaint, self-contained Garden Cities suburb in Cape Town. The self catering cottage is an annex to the main manor house and is totally separate, offering guests privacy, security and comfort.

Accommodation

The 120m² cottage which is generously proportioned, offers two large bedrooms; one is a double and the other has two single beds making the unit very appealing to the small family or business executive. Both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms.

Decor throughout the cottage is an eclectic mix of traditional and contemporary, combining to create a comfortable space in which to relax - whether you are working or on holiday. A large, bright lounge opens to a fully fitted kitchen with a huge separate dining room off to one side. A private, well maintained garden completes the picture. Given the nature of the cottage, people relocating to Cape Town find it the ideal spot in which to live while they find their feet in The Mother City.
