Klein Moerbei

We spent a week at Klein Moerbei in February; the house was a comfortable homebase. We really enjoyed the use of the vegetable garden for our fresh homemade dinners. The resident dogs were our new friends, welcoming us home after our days of exploring Stellenbosch. Pamela, the housekeeper, was a delight to visit with in the mornings. We found the kitchen to not be as well-appointed as one would expect from an upmarket self-catering accommodation. Since the microwave was the standin for an oven, ideally there would have been more microwave safe dishes to use. Also, in light of the generous use of the garden, some large serving bowls would have been welcome. The closed-circuit security cameras in the kitchen and hallways were intrusive. The house smelled like it had been closed for months, there was a noticeable damp, mildew smell. We left the windows open most of the day to air it out.
