Hey there guys, I haven’t had one of these in a while so I’m excited about this one. Nicole & Bruce Johnston got hold of me the other day about their new little guest house in Simon’s Town, Cape Town called Cordelle. This sweet little place is nestled at the base of Mt. Pleasant in Simon’s Town with amazing views of the harbour and surrounding beaches.
– A pathway leads guests to the historical Victorian town, whereby a myriad of shops, restaurants & museums can be enjoyed. Cordelle is a stones-throw away from the legendary Boulders beach which is host to a large Jackass Penguin colony & other marine life.
This unique self-catering unit has been beautifully designed to suite the contemporary traveler & small family. With eloquent decor & stylish nuances, the space exudes a luxurious but homely atmosphere.
I think this spot looks and sounds amazing and from the photos you can see that they have really made such a cool effort to make it something special – I would live there nevermind just visit. Nicole, Bruce you keen to adopt? I bake and I can brush my own hair.
Anyway this couple has been kind enough to offer one of you guys 2-free nights (subject to availability) at their pretty Cordelle Guest House and all you have to do is:
1: Leave me a comment on my site to enter
2: Reblog or tweet (using the hashtag #CordellGuestHouse) about this giveaway and leave those links in your comment to gain you extra entries.
3: This competition will end on the 31st of January 2013 and I will randomly be picking a winner
4: Flights are not included in the prize

Hi,
I would love to win this little getaway for my parents. They love the idea of getting away, but never like going very far. I think a weekend away here would do them wonders (plus it would serve as an excellent belated anniversary gift from me 😉 )
Don’t pick me, pick them 🙂

If this is the guest house I can only imagine how super cool this couples actual house must be!
oops, I just realised that the hashtag i used is spelled “#CordelleGuestHouse” like the title is spelled and not “#CordellGuestHouse”. like in the example hashtag – hope it still counts!
Seems like a dream…
Oh I forgot to add, I tweeted too (@alexjanebrito)
Cordell hits the spot when it comes to best picturesque and trendy guesthouse. Would be an absolute dream to go there for a getaway with a very special someone.

Ah-mazing – I’d love to win.
Holding thumbs 🙂
I’m not entering the competition, but I’m so glad to see Wolves and Lucky Pony up and running for 2013! Are there any more of your great Wolves events to look forward to this year? I’d love to be able to attend something like the fashion swap, the gift exchange or the scrabble tournament as I’ve always managed to miss most of those in spectacular moron-mode before. Something like the Light Grey Art Lab’s all-night art sit-in would be a great thing to see happen at Wolves- I can just imagine the kind of awesome things that might come out of an evening of creative people just hanging out and making multi-media art until the wee hours.
this looks beyond incredible! please, please?
Ah can I please be the winner!!! This looks so amazing! I would give my left toe but im sure you dont want it but still I totally would 🙂
i have tweeted, but i can’t link it here 🙁 it’s there, under miss_banwell, I promise!
Hell yeah I’d like to to win this giveaway! Cordelle Guest House looks like such a magical place. Thanks for the awesome giveaways Angie! You never disappoint.
OOOOOH. I haven’t visited Simons Town in a while.

The design of this place is so inviting, I went on holiday just by looking at the pics.
Nice.

Not quite sure, but as I understand it this offer is for one person, yes?
Id really love to go with my girlfriend, she’s been pushing me to plan a weekend for Simonstown and the place sounds and looks absolutely awesome. Id obviously pay the difference for a second person xD
This is a perfect 1st year anniversary present. So pretty!

My boyfriend isn’t from SA and I’d love to show him that part of the Cape. Unfortunately, though, I live on student budget so would not be able to make that possible on my own. And with V-day around the corner& all, I can’t think of a better gift than this awesome opportunity. (Plus, I’m a total sucker for museums, and Simons Town has AWESOME ones!)
i am still laughing that anyone else entered. Can’t you all see I am already there. I am in the photos opening up the locker in my moody grey linen dress and darke green head scarf. yes! hv tweeted too.
Ooooh la la , I do love me a good staycation & having done much of our wooing round that area I’d love to surprise my man with this for our 2 year anniversary 🙂

Sounds wonderful. I would love to go!
Wait! Don’t close the competition yet! I just saw this. My toddler son (15 months of deliciousness), my fiace (newly engaged) and I would all so desperately love to get out of the city for a weekend away in gorgeous Simonstown. (Our favourite beach is the little one next to Seaforth). Pick us! Pah-leeza? (as my child would say)
This looks so beautiful! I would love to win!
Tweeted about it tooooooo! twitter.com/amykiwifruit
