The rooms are fully serviced, including cleaning on weekdays, bed linen, duvet, towels, and twice-a-week laundry (washing and ironing).  Each tenant is to provide his/her own food, cutlery and utensils except as arranged, and do his/her own cooking and washing-up.  For those who don't want to cook, we are in walking distance from numerous restaurants, many of which deliver to the door, as does Mr Delivery.  There is outside parking for one car per tenant. We have obligatory House Rules covering energy conservation, recycling, noise, security, etc.

Possibly Available 1 October 2010: Furnished Single Bedroom (Room 3) in House

Room 3 is a small fully carpeted south-facing bedroom (size about 9 m2), for one person. The bathroom (bath, shower, basin, toilet) next door is shared with another room, visitors and office staff. Furniture includes a single bed, wall-mounted 54 cm flat-screen TV, double built-in cupboard, curtains, chair, folding desk and lamp, and bedside table with lamp and telephone.  The room is fully serviced, including cleaning on weekdays, bed linen, duvet, towels, and twice-a-week laundry (washing and ironing).

Rent of R3 300 per month on a 6-month lease includes TV with M-Net, SuperSport, and 1 channel DStv, rates, water, electricity, and shared use of kitchen, dining room, lounge, patio, garden, lapa and swimming pool. No VAT is charged on rent. Two months' rent is required as deposit (it may be paid –and returned– over two months).

The solar hot water system is shared with several other people, so we prefer a tenant who showers rather than baths.

This is the most affordable of the rooms and ideal for a student on a more limited budget.  The desk provides reasonable study space and folds closed when not in use, concealing all those uncompleted assignments and messy paperwork.  The cat in the pictures can be provided at no extra charge.


NOT Available Now: Furnished Double Bedroom (Room 2) in House

Room 2 is a North-facing fully carpeted medium-sized bedroom (12 m2 in size) with three-door built-in cupboard; furnished with a double bed, chest of drawers, table, dressing-table and stool, chair, mirror, telephone, lamp, and 54 cm Samsung flat-screen TV.  The full bathroom (bath, shower, basin, toilet) opposite is shared with another room, visitors and office staff.

Rent of R4 000 per month for one person on a 6-month lease, or R6 000 for a couple, includes TV with M-Net, SuperSport, and 1 channel DStv, rates, water, electricity, and shared use of kitchen, dining room, lounge, patio, garden, lapa and swimming pool. No VAT is charged on rent. Deposit of 2 months' rent is required: It may be paid (and returned) over 2 months.

The solar hot water system is shared with several other people, so we prefer a tenant who showers rather than baths.

With its full-height triple cupboard and double bed (ideal for a couple, or the occasional intimate visitor), this is the most luxurious of the rooms.  The north-facing aspect means that it is warm even in winter.  The large picture window affords a view of the garden and lets in plenty of light.  This room does not get the traffic noise that the south-facing rooms get.

 

NOT Available Now: Furnished Single Bedroom (Room 4) with en-suite Bathroom in House.

Room 4 at night (left)Room 4 at night (right)Room 4 is a small (about 9 m2 in size) fully carpeted south-facing bedroom suitable for one person, with private bathroom (shower, basin and toilet), tiny bathroom courtyard, and shared use of most of the rest of the house.

Furniture includes a single bed,  54 cm wall-mounted TV (colour not so great), double built-in cupboard, curtains, washstand, heater, chair and desk with lamp and telephone. The room is fully serviced, including cleaning on weekdays, bed linen, duvet, towels, and twice-a-week laundry (washing and ironing).

Bathroom looking to courtyardBathroom shower Rent of R4 000 per month for a 6-month lease includes TV with M-Net, SuperSport, and 1 channel DStv, rates, water, electricity, and shared use of kitchen, dining room, lounge, patio, garden, lapa and swimming pool. No VAT is charged on rent. A deposit of two months' rent is required (it may be paid –and returned– over two months).

Your window looks out onto a tropical garden complete with jungle cats sunning themselves (they, at least, think they are tigers!). This is the best room for a smoker, because you can smoke in the bathroom courtyard, rather than having to go through the rest of the house to get outside.
