This serene guesthouse on the lower slopes of Table Mountain is within walking distance of vibrant Kloof Street with its cool café culture, restaurants, bars, galleries, and boutiques – and just a short drive over the ‘Nek’ by car to the beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay. It’s the perfect base to hop around from, and the most wonderful nest to return to, after a day of sightseeing. Aside from the 10 classically styled rooms, there are plenty of stylish nooks and public spaces to unwind in, including a dappled courtyard with a pool to cool down in, during the heat of summer.
House in a gorgeously restored, listed building that dates back to 1903, this boutique hotel is an artful combination of traditional and contemporary. The hotel sits proudly in Oranjezicht, a quiet city neighbourhood, and is located high enough on the slopes of Table Mountain, for the upstairs rooms to enjoy stunning views of city and mountain. The sensitive restoration has preserved the building’s original features – lofty ceilings, original wood floors, rustic fireplaces – and added just the right amount of modernity.
