All rooms share the use of the kitchen and public areas with the owners and the other tenants.

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 unless arranged otherwise, and do his/her own cooking and washing-up (promptly). For those who don't want to cook, we are in walking distance of 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.

No VAT is charged on rent. A deposit of two months' rent is required (it may be paid –and returned– over two months).

Possibly Available later in 2012: 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 200 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 comes (and goes!) at no extra charge.

Available 1 January 2013: 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 (negotiable), or R5 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. A 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 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).

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.

Phone (07:30 – 21:00): Landline 011 802-2685, mobiles Rick 082 389-3482 or Judith 082 389-3481.
International: Replace first "0" with your trunk dialling code (usually 00), then Country Code 27.

Clyde Broskie, Room 3

Just to briefly put on paper my experience in room #3 at the above address

I resided at the above address for just over three months during the course of 2011. My experience was a very good one to say the least. The positioning of the address was very central for me. 12 minutes to work in Wynberg. 126 is only minutes away from all the shops that a bachelor like myself needed on a daily basis (Woollies'; Spar & PnP). Restaurants in the area are fantastic with all the regular restaurant chains also being very close by. Weekends shopping centers to people watch and chill at (Sandton City + Nelson Mandela Square (No need to elaborate here just really awesome everything there; NEW Morningside Shopping Centre (Tasha's & PnP); Gallomanor Shopping Centre (Burger Perfect). The Wedge on Rivonia (Woollies'; Chinese; Food lovers Market). 90 Degrees (Spar; Nando's; Pollpeta very good Italian; Steers)

The home and services for the fantastic prices is perfect. Fully serviced rooms including washing; ironing; cleaning; electricity & water. Rick and Judith have been letting rooms out for donkey's years. They have a very good idea of how it's all done. I was single at the time and it allowed me to rest my head with none of the everyday effort and expenses of renting or own one own unit locally. All the people are very accommodating and friendly owners and other tenants.

If you are looking at saving some cash every month, whilst in a happy central hassle free environment. Then 126 Kelvin Dr is the place for you. It gave me time to get my things back into prospective. If you want to call me for more comfort please feel free to do so. Happy staying at 126 Kelvin Dr.
