About We are a South African family of four. We have two teenage daughters. Both my husband and I are in our fifties. My husband works for Transnet (National Railways SA) in the property division. I am a stay at home mom. We have lived in Cape Town for seventeen years, and love this city, and all that it has to offer. We have enjoyed travelling overseas, mainly to Italy, where we visit family.

Acute Cottage is the best kept secret in Cape Town. The cottage and the Billett family made our stay for 2 months in Cape Town an exceptional experience. We have rented other apartments/guest houses in Cape Town earlier and have never had a better stay. The beautiful home which was decorated and furnished with a personal touch by the owner, Simonette, was a joy to be in. The garden and property likewise. The location was ideal. Not only did we feel safe in the neighborhood but we had easy access to the center of town as well as the universities UTC and UWC. The Billetts went out of their way to assist us in everything from practical matters to personal invitations for seeing and doing things in the city as well as traveling in SA. A must for academics wanting to work and/or rest in Cape Town. Thanks again, Simonette and Rob Excellent Penny 7/23/2012 1:50:00 AM
