Please note the following:
the area is a quiet neighbourhood surrounded by nature and as such we have to request that you please respect the neighbours of Welcome Glen. No loud music and shouting after 11pm on weekends and 9pm in the week would be greatly appreciated.

Important: Before you arrive you will be asked to complete guest verification through third-party provider Truvi. This is done to ensure we are keeping up-to-date with short-term rental regulations as well as providing both our guests and our properties with extra protection. Truvi will contact you via email and/or text to complete the verification. Please do so prior to arriving at the property to enable a quick and easy check-in process.

Guest Access:
There is off street parking on our driveway for a vehicle. You also have access to the pool in the common area down a flight of stairs from your balcony. Please note that the hot tub and the pool area are NOT used by other guests however we (the hosts) do have access to this space as it's on the lower level.

The Neighborhood:
Welcome Glen is a small town hidden between the mountains of the South Peninsula, very well sheltered from the South Easter that blows through most of the summer. The neighbours are lovely and we always look out for each other. The area is peaceful and the sounds of the birds and the breeze through the tree's will most certainly relax you on your trip to the Deep South. The stars at night are something to behold! Truly fabulous lounging on your balcony and watching the night.

As the apartment is situated in a quiet neighborhood, we have to stress that we do not allow parties at this property. This by no means means you can't have fun but we do request that the music gets turned down by 11pm on the weekends (Friday / Saturday) and by 9pm in the week from Sunday. This is a request out of courtesy for the neighbors.

The Deep South area is famous in August for the whales coming into the bay to birth their calves. We have some fantastic whale watching companies eagerly waiting to take you on a trip to see our visitors.

Kalk Bay, situated about 15 minutes from Welcome Glen, was voted as one of the 12 coolest suburbs in the world by Forbes!! A day out there will certainly show you why!

As the area is at the foot of Table Mountain Nature Reserve, we do have an abundance of wild life in the area. As such, we request that you please keep all doors and windows closed when not at home as some of the resident baboons, like to enjoy themselves to visible food. That being said: we do not often get the baboons at the house but just as a precaution. The area is also a delight for bird watchers especially with our resident weaver bird in the spring/summer months.

Getting Around:
Welcome Glen is slightly isolated and we would recommend a car hire. Uber does operate in the area and we also have local transport services (cabs) that are well priced and very friendly. There is off street parking for 1 vehicle.
