On a rocky outcropping, nestled against the Muizenberg shore, is a quaint, stone bungalow of historic importance. Bailey’s Cottage, with its thatched roof, relaxed conservatory, and cosy fireplace, is the ideal holiday accommodation in Cape Town. Overlooking Surfer’s Corner, the cottage grants easy access to the rock pools and beach below, while the promenade invites you to take a stroll to the charming towns of Muizenberg and Kalk Bay.The cottage itself consists of three bedrooms, and sleeps six guests. Full linen and towels are provided, and each room comes complete with a heater for those colder winter nights. As a heritage building, there is only one bathroom, with tub facilities, but the living room offers the modern conveniences of satellite TV and a DVD player. The self-catering kitchen is fully equipped with oven, fridge, freezer, microwave and dryer, while the six-seater, mahogany dining table and amazing granite-top bar provide the perfect location for indoor entertaining. Outside, what South African holiday destination would be complete without the mandatory braai area from which to enjoy a few drinks, and the beautiful ocean view. As a historical icon that forms part of the Muizenberg Historical Mile, Bailey’s Cottage holds a special place in the hearts of many who dwell in the area. Originally designed as angling cottage for Sir Abraham “Abe” Bailey, by Sir Herbert Baker of Baker & Massey architects in the early 1900’s, the building site is believed to be located on what was once a gun battery. In fact, the fort from the early 1800’s now forms part of the foundations of the building.In truth, the land has always belonged to the state, first by the British Army and the Department of Defence, and more recently by the Department of Public Works. Sir Abe Bailey received permission to build his cottage in the 1920’s, but sadly, with the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the ownership of the cottage reverted back to the Royal Navy. During the war, the military made use of the space as an observation post, and later as accommodation for Navy officers until as recently as 1999. While Sir Abe Bailey was a prominent figure in his own right; a politician, mining magnate and legislator, Bailey’s Cottage has also welcomed famous political figures such as Cecil John Rhodes and Nelson Mandela, as the seaside retreat is said to have healing qualities. That, however, is up to you to decide. Guests can look forward to unique warm African hospitality. Bailey’s Cottage is pleased to make your stay as relaxing as possible, and, as such, provides a maid service, six days a week from 8am – 5pm, with a turndown service at 4:30pm. We also offer a laundry service, with following day return. A full concierge service is available for tours to all tourist destinations, including Table Mountain, township tours, museums trips, and wine estate tours in vintage cars. Our helpful User Manual provides all contact details you may need, including those for au pairs, car rental companies, Grit Security and instructions regarding the alarm system. __________________________________________________________________________ To View Contact:Cape Sky Realtors “King” Arthur Faulkner 083 337 4406 021 782 9786

seb...are you sucking up to Moz or what? Seriously, this belongs on a private e-mail between you two!

Grow up and don't so infantile...no body's sucking up to anybody...what on earth unless this a trait that dwells in you...this a topic of general interest...Mozart just used to fish there and to those who some cultural background and love of history...this is not a topic for the plebs and lack of class type...it obviously irritates these ignoramuses...immature idiot!

bluebok, not sure if you noticed but your response to SubstantialBull actually ended an impressive streak of 6 posts in a row put up by this witless dullard that had zero replies. Should give you an indication of how many other people bother clicking on his obscure and irrelevant posts.

I don't think SubstantialBull's mindless property advertisement is any less relevant that a lot of his other "contributions" . . . like his interminable Youtube links to stupid songs, his mealy-mouthed bible-bashing, his monotonous accounts from his "good old days", his pathetic whining for Cloudy's attention or his favourite . . . his tiresome and repetitive "an@ lyses" of this forum and its posters.

Just do what everyone else obviously does and ignore the tedious bore.

 So says the witless sour faced drunkard that lives in that rat hole in Johannesburg...poor fellow who must have the most colourless dull and boring life in the most ugliest and boring city in the world...no wonder he resents those that have a life...poor soul that has the biggest chip on his slumping bar induced shoulders...so riddled with bitterness...I don't enjoy tearing peoples character apart but you a pathetic character...that evokes pity with those who can discern.

 "poor fellow who must have the most colourless dull and boring life in the most ugliest and boring city in the world...no wonder he resents those that have a life...poor soul that has the biggest chip on his slumping bar induced shoulders... so riddled with bitterness "
I've been saying it for years, glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Uh-oh . . . what happened to "I love you all"?

LMAO!

Oh and w hy do you call me a drunkard, chump? Because Moffie says so? Pffffffffffft . . .

Oh look, Dense has arrived to have a little yap!

The world's ugliest person and the world's most boring person together at last with a common cause!

LMAO!

Bwahahaha! Funny shart!
Firstly Seb, What is with all the hostility and name calling ? For the moment I'll take the higher ground and not retaliate, but you have no clue who I am and what level of class I enjoy. Based on your response however, I think you may well question your own position on the pleb ladder! As for my post, I was just stating what looked pretty obvious to me! Seriously, go back and read your original post and tell me, from a neutral point of view, a) if it looks like you are sucking up to Moz; and b) if it is a topic that anyone else here other than Moz (Assuming he has some interest in what you are advertising), is likely to have any interest in?  

Cloudy, good for you! I have no issue with the cottage, it IS quaint and all, but it is not a post likely to garner much interest here. Also, I did not bash his character, but he certainly had a solid go at mine! I am not a very sensitive soul, so I don't really care what he calls me, but he always tries to come across as mister goody two shoes, but then acts like a spiteful child for nothing!  

 Well first of all,let's get one thing straight...I had no intention of pulling anybody apart,secondly I curry favour with nobody here...that really is dumb...for what reason (unless perhaps wealthy Moz might leave me some dollars in his will...lolz)

Thirdly I do dislike hypocracy and judgement from those that should take the beams out of their own peepers before trying extract specs from others eyes if you get my drift and fourthly I don't hate anybody here even Rooiaas but he gets in my face, just those irritating flies on a hot day.

Last but not least, Nobody forces you to a post that's not your cup of tea...simply don't read it...we are all different and individuals and not sheep(at least I hope so...not very sure about some though)

NOW IS THAT CLEAR!

Seb, you did have a full go at me as I was the only one that had posted, but I'll put it down to you getting carried away because you thought I was attacking you. Bygones. 
The world if full of real issues, so why fret the small stuff! 

Sebastian I thought the cottage was in some kind of national trust. But thanks for the picture. 

 Blue, your comment was a bit snotty and rude IMO...a rare slip I might add and I'm sure the intention was not to be. Seb, you overreacted a bit with  everything from the "plebs" and onwards. ..retaliating in excess and joining us plebs in the gutter, if only for a short while.
