About this villa
Garden cat boarding with sunshine and fresh air
Cats who love the outdoors at home often miss it most when they board. Garden cat boarding gives them grass under their paws, trees for shade and ledges in the Highveld sun, without ever leaving the safety of their own enclosure. The Standard Garden Villa is a wooden villa on stilts with its own private garden, made for one or two cats from the same family.
North-facing patios catch the winter sun, and shrubs and trees keep things cool in summer. Birdsong and the sound of running water carry through the gardens, which is part of why so many guests settle in quickly. See how it compares to traditional cattery runs in our villas versus cages post.
