Everyone who visits or stays at 43 comments on the unique feeling of staying in a lodge on an eco estate, yet only minutes away from so many things to do. Spend you time relaxing at 43 or exploring the area. The best combination for a great holiday!
I have been in the hospitality business for many years. Originally opening the first bnb in Knysna, Ferry House, Belvidere. We developed and ran Belvidere Manor. After time in the property market, I look forward to returning to my first love!
The great advantage of Somerset West is its location in the Western Cape, within easy driving distance of so many places and attractions,beaches, wine routes,restaurants and shopping. Explore Stellenbosch, Franschoek, Hermanus and Cape Town.
