 Ballyna House, exterior & terrace views by DesertRat This guesthouse, loacated in the leafy eastern suburb of Somerset West, is a relaxed, friendly spot to rest up either before or after a long journey. Run by a young South African and his German wife, it boasts TV, a swimming pool for guests to use, a large terrace with a view of the mountains, and a great breakfast in the morning. My wife and I give our unqualified recommendation to this, one of the "finds" of this particular trip. It's quite easy to find, just off Somerset West's Main Road, and is only about 3 or 4 minutes' drive from the N2.
The best thing about Ballyna House was David and Silke, the owners and hosts. They made certain that everyone felt absolutely at home. Our first evening there, we sat round a table on the terrace chatting for at least a couple hours, which doesn't often happen in B&B's anywhere -- though it's not that uncommon in South Africa, I must confess. They helped us get our bearings in town, sort out a problem with our rental car firm, and suggested numerous things for us to do in the area. We'll not soon forget their warmth and their hospitality.
