The Mountain Gem is a self catering apartment offering accommodation in Glencairn on the owners property. The area is incredibly peaceful and the sounds of the birds and the breeze through the trees will most certainly relax guests on their trip to the Deep South.

Self Catering Accommodation

The Mountain Gem is an apartment in Glencairn with two bedrooms. The main bedroom is furnished with a Queen-size bed and the second bedroom is furnished with three twin beds. These rooms share a bathroom fitted with a bath, shower, toilet and basin.

There is a fully equipped kitchen and a lounge that is comfortably furnished and has a smart TV with Netflix. Wi-Fi is available.

A lovely wrap-around balcony completes the setup with a private built-in braai with pull down blinds to keep the weather out, an informal dining area.

The property has a swimming pool and Jacuzzi which is located in the shared area on the ground floor, where the owners live. They are a family that loves being outdoors and entertaining, and guests are more than welcome to join them. The Jacuzzi is semi-private and guests need to let the owners know when they want to use it so that it can be switched on in advance. Please be advised that the owners do not use the hot tub when guests are there/requested to use it.

Attractions

Lying between Fish Hoek and Simons Town, in the bend of the road where the M4 meets the M6, Glencairn and the beach of the same name are often overlooked for the more exciting destinations of Simon's Town and Cape Point Nature Reserve. But the mountainous village, with fantastic sea views, is actually a wetland conservation area with hiking trails, 2250 indigenous plant species, resident clawless otters, birds, mongooses and buck - and all this just two kilometres from a busy shopping centre.

The long Glencairn beach, with its gentle seas and accompanying tidal pool, is perfect for swimming, snorkelling, surfing and sunbathing. Glencairn is also a good spot for whale watching in season and the locals will tell you tales of Great White sightings too.
