Grewat location !
Loved the area, very quiet and serene. Owner very nice and affable.initial communications not clear though and hard to get hold of or gainnfull understanding of property which is made up several units with shared areas. Some units far more private than others. Parking tight but ok . Area beautuful and perfect location. House needs some attentiin w new towels etc but all ok and functional. Id stay again but in different unit.
Lime cottage is beautiful and is exactly as shown in the photographs. It's very well equipped, in a highly secure area and ideally located for visiting the Constantia Wine Estates and Cape Town's Southern Suburbs. Athol is a great host and really helpful. He checked in advance our arrival time to ensure he was there to meet us. He explained everything about the cottage, provided information about the area, and was on hand when we had a mishap with the safe. We wanted a few days at the end of our holiday to relax before returning to the UK. Lime Cottage was the perfect place for this. We would love to return in the future and would highly recommend a stay to others.
So, I'm unable to review the actual cottage as on paying the balance via Vrbo I was emailed by the owner to say 'there was an issue with Vrbo and his booking system' which meant he had double booked. But we could stay in the main house for an extra R5000, or get a refund. As this was peak season we were left with no alternative but to accept the additional cost.
Given the cottage is billed as 5* we expected more from the main house given the extra cost (which we didn't pay in the end) The house and whole premises are very tired which is a crying shame.
Towels are threadbare (looks like the ones on order as mentioned in a previous review have yet to arrive), bed sheets old and one pillow case had holes in it, hot tub looks like a health hazard and was covered with dirty bubble wrap, off-cut carpets cover the high-use areas in the bedrooms (buy a rug!), TV's weren't tuned, weird coloured soaps in random old plastic bottles with the labels washed off were provided as toiletries (no idea what the were or what they were for), matching blue pool towles (as shown on the photos) were nowhere to be seen, rather random threadbare beach towels were provided (they looked like they'd been left by previous guests) I could go on and I have photos to support everything I've stated above.
The owner checked us in and then we never saw him again for three days.
In short, it's not what you see in the pictures or read in the reviews.
We enjoyed a fantastic stay while in Cape Town for a wedding. The host was excellent and made sure we were well looked after from communication prior to check in to sending us on our way. The location is great and the property itself is very well equipped making it an ideal choice if you want to spend some time there or equally visit the many restaurants and attractions close by.
Thank you for a lovely time!
Es ist ein wunderschönes Ferienhaus mit einer sehr guten Ausstattung. Man hat jede Menge Platz und viele Sitz- und Entspannungsmöglichkeiten. Die Betten sind superbequem. Toll ist auch die Veranda, bei der sich die Fensterfront komplett öffnen lässt. Laut Anzeige hat man den Eindruck, Pool und Dachterasse befinden sich direkt am Ferienhaus. Dies ist leider nicht so. Jedoch ist alles im Grundstück des Eigentümers vorhanden.
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in diesem sehr geräumigen und gemütlichen Cottage.
We loved the space and comfort
As well as a great interior the glass garden room was a fabulous extra for sitting out and dining
We enjoyed the pool and were very impressed with the number of seats loungers parasols etc
Two braais and all the kitchen equipment you could need
We will definitely return

Not as shown
We thought we were staying in the cottage as shown next to the swimming pool but a “cottage” in a complex of various buildings where other occupants and staff were passing by our large french windows (it was like being in a gold fish bowl) and no immediate space to sit out without being disturbed.
We really enjoyed our stay at Lime Cottage! The Cottage is part of a larger and well situated, safe property and has some outdoor space, like a lawn where we had a nice BBQ, as well as access to the shared pool ans sundowner terrace. The Cottage is extremely comfy and well-equipped, with large rooms and common space. Host is very friendly and always helpful!! Thanks for a great stay!!
Wonderful home, great host: beautiful garden, great pool, plenty of rooms, great kitchen with a spacious dining room a we had a good time and would love to come again!
Homely, comforting, spacious house in a wonderful beautiful and safe area. Couldn’t have asked for more. Also, stocked with every kitchen amenity. Athol has been superb.
Perfect location. Up market area with awesome drives right on your doorstep. I found this 2 bedroom Cottage furnished to the highest standard. Very well located neat the mall and the highways. Athol is a great host. And is always available to assist with places to go etc. and I found the cottage very safe. Highly recommend this place.
The 2 bedroom cottage is well laid out and has everything you will need for a self catering stay. A nice verandah to smoke on. And the most comfortable king size bed I have ever slept on. I would definitely come back to stay again.

Honeymoon in Constantia!
WOW! What an amazing end to our Honeymoon!
The cottage was just as described, we did not rent a car and solely relied on Uber. It was very easy to get around, we even did a wine tour using Uber. There is a mall and grocery store near by. This is a very safe neighborhood.
The pictures do not do the cottage justice, it’s gorgeous and we did not want to leave! Athol is a wonderful host and lives on the premises, very responsive and overall a great guy! The pool and hot tub are beautiful.
We had lunch at Beau Constantia, highly recommended! The views are amazing!
We stayed in the Lime Cottage.
We are from California and can not wait to come back!

Lovely apartment beautifully furnished with views
We had a lovely stay at LeBonheur, in the Lavender Apartment. The Apartment has everything you need and stunning views of the moutains. The gardens are beautiful and we felt safe and so comfortable. Athol is a superb host who was attentive to our needs and who gave good advice as to the area and what to see and do. Constantia is a beautiful area with walking and cycle trails in the forest in close proximity. We also found it well placed to reach the southern suburbs and to explore Hout Bay and surrounds.

Excellent location and well appointed cottage
Well appointed cottage in an excellent location. Hosts were most welcoming and helpful in assisting us to enjoy a truly memorable holiday. Four stars and not five only because our impression before arriving was of a cottage with views over a lawn whereas the lawn was modest and the view was of the adjacent cottage not the mountains. Apart from this everything was as described, amenities were great, the owner was super friendly and would be very happy to return and recommend to others.

Luxurious, central, clean, friendly, family spot
We loved this spot in the heart of Constantia - central, impeccably maintained, luxury with friendly staff and owner who all went the extra mile to make us feel at home (complete with the occasional visit from Stretch the dog, who my kids adored). The accommodation has all you can think of - it's aestehtically well done, has great green tech (water & electricity), and has great wheel chair accessibility. Well done to Le Bonheur for nailing it!

Lovely place - very accommodating and comfortable!
Our accomodations were more than we expected. Comfortable beds and a very nice living area and kitchen. We also had an outdoor sitting area with a great view. Athol was very gracious and when we had a problem with the electiricity, it was addressed immediately and fixed properly.
The location was perfect for our family as it was a 5 minute drive from our son's house, and the house was in a beautiful area.

Fantastic! No complaints!
This was our second year staying in Lime Cottage at Le Bonheur. The cottage has everything you need and the staff are fantastic - all smiles and always willing to help.We enjoyed warm winter fires as well as a few outdoor bbq's! Athol is an excellent hands on Owner/Manager and we would not hesitate to recommend a stay here. The location couldn't be better and the security, solar heating and bore hole, all made our stay very pleasant and relaxing. Thanks Athol.

Dankie vir 'n baie lekker tydjie by LeBhonheur. Dis binne bereik van al die besienswaardighede en tog rustig sonder geraas. Ons is gasvry ontvang en Athol Childs was baie behulpsaam met wat ons benodig het. Dis 'n klein juweeltjie in Constantia!

More then expected
Big, quiet and clean. With everything we needed and more.
Most rentals are bare boned but this was well furnished, with little unexpected touches all over the place.
Very easy to find . Nicely located. Close to shopping and centrally located to all you want to do in Cape Town. If you want a day off you can laze by the pool or take my advice and walk one of the many walking paths in the area.
Host and his staff were great. Friendly and happy to help with anything questions or help we needed.
You can't go wrong staying here.

Great cottage!
We spent 9 nights in Lime Cottage at our stay in Cape Town. The Cottage is very good equipped with everything needed. Kitchen is equipped with dishwasher, washing machine and tumbler - all machines quite new and in excellent condition!
The bedrooms are very spacious and our daughter loved having her own bathroom ;) As it was a bit cold in June, we appreciated the floor-heating a lot! The decoration in the Cottage is very laughly and Athol provided us with a lot of good hints and tipps to visit in Cape Town.
As soon as we come back to Cape Town, we definitely gonna stay at Athol's again!!

Lovely Cottage
Wondefully furnished Lime Cottage. Comfort and all the mod-cons. Heated pool a real plus. Warm welcome by Athol who was very helpful and friendly. Great location near to walks on Table Mountain & Kirstenbosch, the Constantia vineyards, easy access to Cape Town and the Waterfront and easy to get on the motorway bringing you to the Winelands. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Home away from home
My husband and I spent a week in Lime Cottage during the very chilly August of this year. We were very cozy with the fireplace burning which warmed the whole cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed cooking up a storm on and in the enormous gas stove/oven and didn't want for any cooking equipment, crockery or cutlery - all these items are supplied and are stylish, practical and spotless. There is a washing machine and dryer in the kitchen too which both take large loads and are quietly efficient. The owner, Athol's style comes through in the comfortable and refined furnishings and also in the unique, beautiful art pieces dotted around the cottage. I had to drag myself out of the memory foam pillow top, king size, extra-length bed in the mornings - sheer luxury! The en-suite bathroom we used off the main bedroom is stylish and chic with a gigantic shower rose in the shower and enough room for about 4 people to comfortably shower at once :-) If I must say something negative, the shower being blocked on the first night (although quickly rectified by Athol's efficient, friendly and handsome handyman), put a damper on an otherwise faultless week in Lime Cottage.
